Sell, buy or rent your next home with confidence

We were first-time homebuyers. Sarah's background in architecture and Misty's expert knowledge of the area helped us determine what house was a good fit for us. They scheduled showings quickly and gave input that guided us to make decisions on where to offer. We felt prepared for the offer process and Misty made the closing steps easy. We got our first offer accepted and are thrilled with our new home! They were patient and encouraging making our first home buying experience successful.

I met Misty Scott over 20 years ago and since then have worked with her in purchasing and selling multiple homes. In addition, she and her company provided me with property management services. There has always been superior professionalism and consideration during each transaction. Misty always ensures that my needs were met. Choosing Patera Properties will put you in the best hands possible for all of your property needs.

Misty Scott succeeded in finding my first home, a townhome that I happily purchased in 2003. When my circumstances changed with a growing family, I continued to choose Misty as my realtor on three additional transactions. Representing me as both a buyer and a seller, Misty excelled at saving me money and grief. Purchasing or selling a home is often a stressful and emotional time, but Misty's representation settled my nerves. I highly recommend Patera Properties to anyone seeking personal and exceptional service.

I bought and sold my first house and then multiple properties after with Misty and she is simply the best. She's extremely knowledgeable about all things real estate and the area, she's always accessible and responsive and she's very patient. Her commission rates when selling and percentage back when buying certainly have helped me out greatly and make financial sense. I recommend her to all my friends.

It was a huge relief to find a competent property manager. Books for the month are sent out on time and your reports go directly to accountants for tax preparation. Your great network of loyal contractors in the Northern VA area reliably gets bids and repairs done, plus you keep track of short- and long-term maintenance and management items (permits, annual inspections, built-in lease adjustments, etc.) You take the time to talk through complicated management problems with me and tenants, are flexible when accommodating special requests, provides valuable insights into the changing local rental market, are engaged, professional, and respectful with tenants and are proactive with me when you see potential problems arising with tenants or property.

You gave unbiased feedback on homes and neighborhoods we were interested in. You were personable, warm, a joy to work with, and an invaluable asset! You supported us throughout the selection process, but let us drive and made sure we were happy with our decision. You gave advice throughout the contract negotiation and were an intermediary for any follow-on issues or questions we had. You've continued to support us even now with recommendations for contractors - after our sale has ended! :) I couldn't have imagined having anyone else help guide the largest purchase we've ever made! Sarah & Misty were incredibly responsive, supportive, and compassionate - we are so grateful for their help in the home buying process.
