Bought a Single Family home in 2011 in Beverly, MA
This is about Patty Knaggs, who is, in my opinion, an exceptional realtor having demonstrated expert knowledge of the market, of the process, and of people.
This was my first experience working with a "buyers agent" , having been reluctant to sign on with one for over a year, always thinking we could do this ourselves. You know what I mean. For a year we watched the market (2010 to 2011). Every day or so, we would look on all the different websites, check out the "new" listings, make a list of open houses, ride by those neighborhoods and so on......... As a result of this approach, we always seemed to be a day late and losing out. When we were interested in a property, it was either gone (under agreement) or it was story time and we could not get the information we needed on the property. At open houses, it seemed as though we were sometimes a pawn in a game as we witmessed some realtors clearly interested in protecting their 'machine" , and not interested in you as a real buyer. They were just going through the motions of showing the house. Their mistake.
I met up with Patty Knaggs when she was kind enough to show us one of her listings. Right off the bat, Patty was genuine and truly interested in making it (buying a house) happen, whether it was to be this first house she showed us or another house. She listened to me and I was hooked. She gathered the specific information regarding our chosen towns and our budget. Most importantly, Patty respected our time and motivation. She was patient with us. She explained things as we went along, thus revealing her in depth knowledge about the market, the conditions, and the neighborhoods, as we continued with our search. Patty always responded to my questions via email or phone call in a quick and consistent manner thus providing exceptional service. I signed up with Patty Knaggs as my buyers agent and it was the best decision I made. Within 6 weeks, we went "under agreement" and could not be happier. Patty Knaggs made it happen.

Bought a Condo home in 2009 for approximately $225k in South Dorchester, Dorchester, MA.
Patty Knaggs and Kenny MacCarthy served as our buyer agents in 2009. My husband and I were very happy with their service! As first time buyers, we had a lot of questions, and Kenny and Patty were always available by email, phone or in person to talk with us. Even though they are based on the North Shore, and we were looking in Boston, Patty was always able to drive down on short notice to take us to see properties. Once we had an accepted offer, Kenny was terrific in dealing with the seller and getting them to agree to institute all the improvements we wanted to the property. We recommend Kenny and Patty unreservedly!

Bought a home in 2008
My experience with Patty Knaggs was very positive. We spent time getting to know what I could and could not afford. We began looking at several places and doing a lot of comparisons between certain places. For instance Patty made sure each place had something different from one another to give me an overall picture. Patty was in constant communication with me, other realtors. I would highly recommend this realtor to anyone looking for a home, condo etc.

Sold a Single Family home in 2006 for approximately $350k in Danvers, MA
Patty was very professional and showed a sincere concern for our best interest through each step in the process. I would absolutely recommend her to a friend or family member.

Bought a Multiple Occupancy home in 2008 in Beverly, MA
Patty is amazing to work with. I was interested in investment property but didn't know where to begin. She reponded same day to my request for info. and walked me through the entire process. It is great to deal with someone who really cares about what she does. Patty made my first investment property experience go very smooth. I am in the process of looking at more property and wouldn't use anyone but Patty.

Bought a home in 2007
I wish I could clone Patty Knaggs so that every interaction I have with others would go so well. She genuinely cares about her clients & goes the extra mile to make sure they are beyond satisfied. Patty assisted me with honesty & expertise through the entire condo researching, viewing, negotiating & buying process. She was always available when I needed her & was very client-centered. Patty truly cared about making my experience a smooth, pain free & successful one. She even got the price knocked down after I told her I had decided to buy. I think what I appreciate most is not the fabulous service I got when I was buying, but the fact that it continues still today. Long after the papers were signed, she still is very present--whether suggesting a carpenter or bringing by tomatoes from her garden. She has an old-fashioned level of service that I wish was still around today.

Our experience with Patty was outstanding... From the first begining tours of proerties that we were interested in, to the complete competant walk through the buying procees and into finally the closing there was never a moment of doubt that she would not be honets with us, work on our side, keep our best interests in mind, and of course help take care of any issue that may occur with great resolutions. In the final days before closing we were in a tough spot to get a fire inspectiion and close before the holidays (the week of Thanksgiving) Patty was able to provide a Fire inspector at a moments notice which we were unable to locate and schedule for the restricted time we had, and stay in the area to ensure we had a smooth closing even though she had previously planned to be in Conecticut with family for the Holidays, instead she stayed and gave us that piece of mind we needed at that time. You can not find this type of commitment, dedication and sacrfice very easlily at all it seems, yet with Patty we had just that. We are greatful that we met Patty and had her as our Realtor. Would not trade up what we had with her through the purchase of this property for anything! We will be buying another property in the near future and will absolutley be calling on her for her services again... Mark my words "One impressed Home Buyer", thank you Patty.
