Feedback from our previous clients
We were truly blown away!
To say that my father (a real estate developer himself... and a picky one at that!) recommended Patrick Baratta as an agent was already a huge compliment...and then we met him for ourselves. We were truly blown away by Patrick's knowledge of the industry and ability to walk into a home and within an instant, point out the most obscure flaws. We NEVER felt pressured by Patrick to purchase anything. In fact, I'm not sure we ever heard him say anything positive about any of the homes we looked at. He always let us verbalize our preferences, likes and dislikes, and answered all of our questions with complete ease. Everything out of his mouth was pure fact and extremely informative. We truly felt like we were walking into these homes with our own personal building inspector. During our time with Patrick, we learned about real estate, building codes, construction practices, negotiation tactics, "red flags," and SO much more. To say he is a wealth of knowledge is an understatement. We got a complete education while searching for our forever home, and once we found it, we couldn't have been more confident that we made the right decision. Patrick was by our side every step of the way. He was always reachable by phone, email, or text, no matter the time of day or how stupid the question was! We could not have asked for a better advocate to guide us through the crazy process of buying a home. I would recommend Patrick in a heartbeat (and I already have). He is a true gem, and anyone who has the privilege of working with him will see what I mean. Thank you Patrick!!!!!

There is no substitute for experience!
When I began my home search online, I submitted my first inquiry interest for a particular home. Within minutes I got a call from Patrick Baratta. He introduced himself and provided me with a great deal of relevant information. At the same time he did not come across as a pushy salesperson. I tend to be a bit skeptical when speaking to a Realtor knowing several of my family members had challenging experiences with inadequate Realtors this past year. However after our conversation, I did some research and found many positive testimonials and 5 star reviews on Patrick Baratta. My fiancé and I met Patrick in the spring of 2023. My first impression of him was that he was very professional. He was very informative about the locations and homes we previewed. He didn’t hesitate to explain the things we should be looking for right from the start. He pulled out his flashlight and did a thorough examination of these older homes and explained to us the noticeable conditions found and gave us options if we were interested. He saw asbestos through a crack on a basement ceiling, I thought to myself “OMG! This man truly cared about our safety.” I soon learned that starting this journey with him was one of our best decisions during this process. We hired him to be our exclusive Realtor! We cannot imagine working with an inexperienced realtor like my cousins’ past experiences. “I guess you get what you pay for” Patrick taught us so much about homes and the home buying process and showed us he truly cares. Since then, we have seen many homes throughout 4 northern New Jersey counties and several offers submitted in this volatile sellers’ market. Patrick remained as helpful, patient, and informative as he was since day one. Once, I sent him a home that we were interested in, his response was “I would not send my own daughter there,” letting me know he wouldn’t send me there either. He sent me online videos of past floods in that area, something I had no idea about. He is super knowledgeable about many New Jersey areas. Another time I went to an open house and I fell in love with the home. I told Patrick about it, and he enlightened me about the underground contamination in this location. I was astonished. I had no idea about it and, of course, the listing agent didn’t share that information but tried to sell me on this home. It was all over Google too. Sometimes, Patrick makes you wonder if he is really in the business of selling homes because if there is something wrong with the house or the location, he will let you know! No doubt about that. He is one of the most honest and good-hearted people I know. His work ethic is unmatched, that’s just the bottom line. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He has said “I have to tell you these things because if I don’t, I won’t be able to sleep at night” and he stands by it. God will bless this man if he hasn’t already. Patrick delivers an A+ on customer service experience and he is loyal to his clients. Fast forward to the present. It's about 7 months later and we finally have an offer that has been accepted. Patrick provided a strategic plan to get our offer accepted but it was up to us to step up to the plate to become the winning buyers. Patrick recommended a mortgage rep that outperformed our national acclaimed bank and he gave us side by side rate options and terms that we could not refuse. We asked Patrick to review the home inspection report with us and he interacted with our attorney after the seller did not want to address a minor repair to prevent a big problem in the future. Patrick went to bat for us making his point across with an inspection photo; as a result we were offered a $1,500 credit at closing and other repairs the seller agreed to. Mind you this was an as-is-sale from the start. A last minute crisis came up a few hours before closing, our nerves and anxiety were running high, we called Patrick and he contacted all parties to resolve the issue to our satisfaction. Down to the wire, Patrick was there to defend us. We cannot imagine what this experience would be like without Patrick Baratta and his team of professionals in our corner. A week after we moved in Patrick showed up at our new home to make sure we were settled in. Patrick volunteered to meet with an unknown contractor to us later that week to make sure we were not over sold. We cannot believe how Patrick has made us feel even after closing. Patrick is a part of our family now! We highly recommend Patrick Baratta of Re/max Select. There is no substitute for experience!

Patrick's knowledge of the business and his testimonials were standing out from all the others.
Patrick, Thanks to you, we are now settling in and beginning to enjoy our new home and we truly appreciate everything you have done to get us to the point we are at now. We would like to thank you by providing our testimonial based on our experiences working with you and hope that other buyers will connect with you, as we did. It was during the pandemic that we started to look for our buyer agent. We listed up several candidates using online platforms. We had done interviews with all of them, and we decided to work with Patrick because we felt comfortable talking with him during the interview. His knowledge of the business and his testimonials were standing out from all the others. When we started to visit homes with Patrick. he always arranged appointments for us to visit the new listings as soon as they came to market, he responded quickly to our requests - you will know that he is a responsible hard-working professional when you see his emails responded at 2:00am and late-night conversations. As everyone says - he never pushed us to make a decision moving forward. Instead, he pointed out noticeable issues he found with each home. It was well assuring to know Patrick wanted to educate us on the home buying process and he never once tried to up-sell us on any home we previewed. It took several months for us to find that perfect home. Patrick always asked us for our feedback so he can be clear on what we are looking for. He just waited for us to comfortably make our decision to move forward. Patrick mentioned we will know when the right house feels like home. He was right! When our dream home came on the market, Patrick's strategy came into play. He set the appointment to get us in the next morning. We were in a very good position being the first ones in the door. Patrick's personality easily established a relationship with the listing agent and right before our eyes they both hit it off. It was magical! My family and I loved this home the moment we walked in the door. Patrick advised us to submit the right offer knowing other offers will soon follow, and they did. This was critical especially if you know how the market was competitive at the time with very low inventory. As a result, the seller chose our offer. We were able to get into the attorney review phase quickly, even with several other competitive offers the seller received. During the contract phase, we were helped with Patrick’s advice and referrals for all the professionals and service providers needed to close the deal. I shopped for the service providers by myself, but literally, ended up using all that Patrick had suggested. On the closing day, Patrick, my wife, and I went for the walkthrough and we took a picture together in the front of the house - it was our happy moment! As first-time homebuyers, our experience went extremely smooth and easy. We had a very reliable agent that guided us through the process from the home searching until the closing, and we carefully listened to all of his advice and suggestions. We are so happy that we were able to buy a home that we truly love, even in an extremely difficult market situation, and sincerely believe without Patrick this would not be achieved. Our experience with Patrick Baratta proved that the testimonials we saw online were true, or in our case, it was even more. Thank you so much Patrick!, You Are The Best!

We will be always grateful to Patrick Baratta
We will be always grateful to Patrick Baratta; he saved us from purchasing a home last year when we fell in love with a property in Ridgewood, it was a bad deal with several problems, a potential money pit. Of course, at that time and being a first-time buyer we did not see those problems, everything looked great to us. Patrick first gently tried to open our eyes explaining the various problems all over the house, and then when he realized that his warnings were not enough he put his foot down and told us not to make an offer for that property. He went against his own interests to save us from a bad deal. Well, as today, that property is still on the market, more than a year and a half later! After having dodged that bullet, we finally found the right property after all this time, and we are now very happy. Patrick has been incredibly supportive and patient during all these months of searching for a home. Patrick was extremely competent and honest, he took the time to explain to us all the steps involved in purchasing a home and what was most important that we would find a home with good bones and resale value. In September, we found our dream home. Cherry on top of the cake. During the final walk through Patrick spotted a defect hidden by personal belongings from the home inspector. Patrick took photos and insisted to our attorney that we receive a credit for the defect at the closing table. $1000 we are still amazed on how Patrick reacted right down to the wire to defend us. We could not believe it! We recommend Patrick to everyone! I strongly believe there is not a better agent out there. Simply amazing, thank you, Patrick Baratta! Marta Bastioli - Fashion Designer
Patrick Baratta is more than a real estate agent, he is going to become your best friend and one who will fight for you, make phone calls for you, answer your calls after 10pm at night, let alone drive to your house to prepare an offer at 11pm on a Sunday night. I found myself in a bidding war, very tough situation to live with, and Patrick was there preventing me to overshoot my offer while at the same time making a winning offer. He predicted to the last digit the appraisal number, and after the inspection, he advised me to renegotiate the price. At that very time, I was out of the country for business, he took care of everything for me. I asked him to get a price reduction of $3-$5,000 dollars, not more, as I was afraid to lose the property. I still remember I was in Rome when Pat called me two days later and told me that he got us $10,000 price reduction! Patrick is a great strategist when it comes to beating other offers for hot properties. He mentioned we were under contract and were confident we would not lose the home to the other bidders, knowing the appraisal would be the same all around. It was important to him that we understood our options and were satisfied with everything. I am going to put the $10,000 he saved me down to purchase a new car. I would like to add that all the professionals he recommended, such as the mortgage brokers and home inspectors were exceptional and my attorney made comment as well. I am surprised because usually I am never 100% satisfied with anybody working for me but I must tell you that Patrick excelled my best expectations from start to finish. I am proud and honored to recommend Patrick Baratta, a true real estate professional and now my friend forever. Simone Bastioli - Microwave Research Engineer
