It was a pleasure to have Patrick Baratta as our buying realtor. He is a true professional, very knowledgeable, and always has good and honest suggestions. His construction background is extremely helpful, particularly to first time home buyers like us. Patrick showed us all the new construction homes in Fort Lee where we wanted to live. He was quick to point out the quality of the building materials used by the builders and compared the craftsmanship from one to the other. Patrick is very efficient. Amazingly, he did research on every single house he showed us, and we had a good idea of the strength and weakness of the houses we looked at. Patrick is always accessible, returning calls even late at night. We are very pleased with the whole process of working with Patrick, from identifying the best house, negotiating a reduction in the sales price with the builder to getting advices on attorney and mortgage provider. You are in good hands if choose Patrick Baratta. Thank you. Junqiang Fort Lee NJ.

Dear Patrick Thank you for your assistance on the sale of our home in Paterson. Your professionalism was very much appreciated and a welcome change from other realtors that we’ve dealt with. It was very reassuring to know that you had our best interest at heart. At the end when things seemed impossible, you really did a lot of leg work to make the closing possible. If asked in the future, we will not hesitate to refer our friends and colleagues to you. We really appreciate your efforts and thanks again for a job well done. Sincerely, Fay & John Seller Retired

Thank you Patrick Baratta! Our experience with buying our first home went very smooth. Patrick has made us feel very comfortable with the entire process from the moment we met him a few months ago at an open house. Patrick has treated us like family and has a lot of patience and he never pressured us to buy any home like we experienced with several other realtors before meeting Patrick. When Patrick showed us homes he pointed out the positive features and negative problems with the homes he showed us. When we found our dream home Patrick when right to bat for us and negotiated a great price and was on top of everything throughout the inspection process through closing. It was a great experience for us and we highly recommend Patrick Baratta. Thank you, Giovanni, Carlos and Olga, Garfield, NJ

Dear Patrick – Thank you so much for all of your hard work and serious efforts in helping us find our “dream house”! We know we challenged you with our needs, likes/dislikes and our budget . You were always so patient with us….after looking at over 80 houses – we finally found “the one”! Along the way you taught us what to look for in regards to good structure/good building materials and you pointed out things to us that we were too naïve to even know about as first time home buyers. Thank you for being honest with us when you saw potential problems you educated us on our options that prevented us from making mistakes. You made us feel comfortable knowing you wanted us to find the right home. Your professionalism and honesty are truly appreciated and you will always have our recommendation to potential clients. We have already given out your card to a few friends that have mentioned they want to start looking at homes next Spring. Very truly yours, Lourdes & Shannon. New Milford, NJ

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 and Simone

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 to 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 and Marta

To Whom It May Concern: In January of 2004 I moved back to New Jersey where I was born and raised after moving away 22 years ago. The opportunity to work for the New York Football Giants and return to my roots was such a blessing. Naturally, I wanted to purchase a home and have my family join me quickly. As a coach for The Giants there were numerous realtors that wanted to assist me in finding a home. I tried one “big name” realtor, but discovered that the only listings he was showing me were homes from his office. My Dad introduced me to Patrick Baratta. The first day Pat and I went out to look at homes he showed me 15 houses. I do not believe Pat had any of these homes under contract. We looked at homes as far west as Parsippany to as north as Mahwah. Pat gave me a very good representation of the homes that were available for me to purchase. Patrick Baratta will not “wine and dine” you as a realtor. However, he will work very hard to find you the house you are looking for. Furthermore, he has a good background in home construction. This knowledge can help prevent you from purchasing a home that has problems. I recommend Patrick Baratta as a realtor. I believe with Pat you get someone who is knowledgeable and fair with a good work ethic. My family and I are happy with our home. I wish you the best in purchasing a home that’s best for you. Sincerely, Jerry (Buyer) NFL Coach NY Giants

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Patrick Baratta as our realtor when looking to purchase a home in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. Patrick is very professional and personable. He clearly takes pride in doing a good job. Patrick’s knowledge about real estate is multi-faceted and he is most certainly able to do more than the average agent. He knows his market extremely well; he is diligent, responsive, and yet very patient with his clients. In our particular case as a buyer, there were many rough spots on the road to closing and in every instance, Patrick was a great help. We appreciated his ability to advise us post home inspection, he was there to help and support us in every possible way possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Patrick Baratta to any person who is looking to buy or sell a home, as well as seek his service in any of our future real estate transactions. We can't thank you enough for your professionalism, expertise, and hard work in helping us find our home in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. We love our home, the neighborhood, and the community! Thanks again and best regards, Edwin and Julia.

Patrick, I would like to thank you for your expert assistance on the sale of my home in Elmwood Park and the subsequent purchase of my new home in West Milford. You really took the time to listen to what I wanted and worked with me to achieve my goals. You provided extensive attention, Advice and assistance to help get my home ready for sale.

Looking for a home is both an exciting and frightening experience. The people needed to help you through the process are crucial to making sure that your experience is a great one. Choosing a realtor is extremely important as you want to select someone that is highly recommended and is good at their job. Patrick Baratta was recommended to us by friends who had recently purchased a house with his help. From the moment we met Patrick he was welcoming. He made the house hunting process enjoyable and educational. Patrick is well versed in construction, which is an added bonus for a realtor. When we would enter a property Patrick would point out flaws in a house regardless of how much I loved it. This was great because as a new potential homeowner there were many aspects of a home that I did not understand. He was always very patient and willing to answer my endless questions. I saw over 80-90 properties and never felt rushed to make a decision. Patrick served as an expert adviser who was always available to ease my anxiety. One of my happiest days throughout this process was when I received a call from Patrick informing me that my offer was accepted. Patrick's guidance continued in this second phase of home buying. He assisted in finding a trustworthy home inspector and always made it a point to check in on how the loan process was going. If you are looking for an amazing realtor who is honest and patient, Patrick Baratta is your guy. Elizabeth, Joey and Family
