Patrick Cohen Real Estate, San Diego CA

We have bought and sold seven different properties over the years. Our latest transaction was by far the most complicated and financially risky. Patrick managed every aspect of the sale of one home and the purchase of another. There were several snags along the way. He kept everything moving, presented alternatives that satisfied everyone involved. He’s open, honest, straight forward and a really hard worker. He is a great partner and one I would recommend to anyone.

Patrick was good at facilitating a deal. He was able to open doors, setup viewings and pass information to the seller’s agent. He is good to get you through a deal if YOU find your property you want and if budget is not a factor to you. I would not recommend him if you don’t have time to find a property and need someone to fight for the property you want.

My significant other and I found the bulk of the properties we toured. He provided us some properties based on our search criteria (AFTER we insisted he do it for us - as that is what realtors get paid for) and after looking at a few of them with him we opted to find them ourselves. Algorithms and search filters on Redfin and Zillow proved to be a more powerful tool than what he had to offer.

When it came time to closing the deal, he fought with us (the buyer) during critical steps of the negotiation phase mentioning that the seller wouldn’t go that low, that they wouldn’t repair a roof, or whatever else that would create more friction for the seller and him. For those looking to buy a home, typically the realtor doesn’t want the price to go lower because it lowers their commission and causes them more work. After telling him to provide our information to the seller and giving him the reasons why the selling price eventually went for almost 100k less than the original purchasing price. Providing the information took a lot of due diligence from the BUYERS’ time which meant looking at comps and the details of the price of the house was not reasonable, market conditions, and calling contractors to assess the condition of the property, etc.

People are busy enough with life, work, family, and activities. A realtor should be able to do the necessary leg work to find you potential homes, work to get to the price you believe in/market fit, work to get any repairs if necessary, and most importantly not add any more stress to an already stressful situation. For potential buyers in the market, find yourself a realtor that will WORK for you, not try to normalize not working.

In a sea of unknowns and perils, make sure you have someone like Patrick to steer your ship. So many things could have gone wrong, and it was great having Patrick along the way to make sure we finally bought our house! He even came by and helped paint, he’s just as good at painting as he is at helping his clients. Patrick was assigned to us through our home buying referral by our bank, right away he took the time to understand our needs and wants. He has a wonderful team around him and does a great job of checking in to make sure you’re doing well and understanding what’s going on.

When we first contacted Patrick to help our group find a house that would work for us, it seemed like it wouldn’t be an easy feat. As two separate families of four, both with young children, looking to cohabitate together, we had a lot of different requirements that all had to be filled. Somehow, Patrick was able to help us find the perfect space (twice!) and help us navigate getting our offer accepted in a competitive market as well. He was always available to answer questions and really went above and beyond to make all of the transactions seamless. I would recommend Patrick to anyone in the San Diego area looking to buy or sell their home!

Excellent realtor! So happy we went with Patrick as he was knowledgeable and available to get my wife and I our dream house! I can't recommend him enough!

Patrick came recommended by my parents and they were spot on with the referral. My husband and I appreciated that Patrick set expectations with us before the search started, which was especially important at the height of the housing craze in 2021. He was super communicative and kept us up to date on any changes in the homes were interested in.

We were successful in getting our first offer accepted and I am confident that that was possible due to Patrick's guidance. We are so happy with our home and recommend Patrick to everyone!

Patrick is an awesome Real Estate Agent! He listened to our needs and wants in a property and kept our expectations grounded in an uncertain market. Patrick showed us a few homes that we were interested in and pointed out that our budget allowed for properties, in our area of interest, that did not require us to have an upstairs or downstairs neighbor. Fast forward to the offer process; he and my loan officer teamed up to help us put together an offer that could not be refused and it was a VA Loan! The offer was accepted two days after the property was listed and we closed in 21 days. Thank you, Patrick, for the tremendous work and we very much appreciate your insight and professional network!

Patrick helped me find my dream home down in Pacific Beach. I am a Realtor myself and I would highly recommend him! Patrick stayed in touch with me over a few years. He was always responsive, very knowledgeable and professional. Once I started looking and found a property I loved he was on it! With competing offers, he gave me great guidance and I got the home I loved. I highly recommend Patrick as your expert in the San Diego area.

Patrick helped my wife and I purchase a home in a very competitive market with limited inventory. He also had great referrals for use to find contractors to start work on the home since we were new to the area and did not know much. Great agent!

Found Patrick's profile online through the Navy Fed realtor partner program and thought he would be a good fit for us to help relocate to San Diego. We chatted on the phone and found him to be a knowledgeable and easy-going dude. He helped virtually tour us through various properties and navigate the competitive market in San Diego. He ended up helping get our VA offer accepted over 24 other offers. When we flew out to see the home in person it was just as we expected and are super excited to live there. I highly recommend Patrick as he is great with communication, super honest, and a strong negotiator! We will definitely be coming back to him if we need any real estate help again!

We recently sold our family home. It was a pleasure to with Patrick. He was easy to work with. He provided answers to questions we had on whether we needed to perform additional work to the house to get top dollar. He always responded quickly to any of my texts or emails. He made the entire process so easy and effortless. I would absolutely recommend Patrick to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Working with Patrick together on a real estate transaction was smooth sailing the entire time! If you are looking for the best real estate agent in Pacific Beach, look no further than Patrick Cohen!

My home buying journey was not the smoothest and I couldn't have done it without Patrick. He is always patient and resourceful with a positive attitude. I am thankful for his friendship and expertises along the way. He really cares about my requirements and gave me recommendations to fit my needs.  I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking to buy/sell a home in San Diego.

Working with Patrick made the purchase of our home easy, especially under circumstances where we were moving from out of state during the pandemic. He is very responsive and professional. He took the time to ensure that we were able to do showings via video call when we couldn't be present and also went above and beyond by meeting with some of our family to get showings done as well. I would highly recommend him as a realtor for anyone else and he is our first choice for any future business we have!

My husband and I highly recommend Patrick Cohen. He recently helped us sell our condo and then turn around a buy our dream home. We could not have done it without him!

Years ago, he had helped my parents buy a condo/sell a condo and he did a phenomenal job on both deals. He has also helped my parents and my husband and I with managing our rentals.

When we decided to sell our condo, with the intention of buying a house, we interviewed some different agents, but something felt off. My dad said, “You should just work with Patrick” and the minute we decided to, I knew we had made the right choice.

Patrick created an easy to follow schedule for what we needed to do before our condo was listed. He told us what existing furniture we could use to stage, and what we needed to get new of. We followed all of his advice and worked very hard for three weeks before our condo was finally online. We got 7 offers in under a week and Patrick managed the entire process seamlessly. He scheduled 35+ showings in just a few days. We ended up getting more money then we had ever expected.

Then we saw a great house come online. He got us in to see it a few hours later, he presented our offer the same day and a couple of days later we were in escrow. Think of the best coworker you have ever worked with, who everyone likes, and they just do a great job day after day and are always there to help others. That is Patrick. He is not the BS sales type agent. He is a straight shooter who is really bright, organized, honest, polite, easy to communicate with and get a hold of, on top of things…

Don’t hesitate, just hire Patrick! Also, his brokerage team is top notch! We have worked with them a total of three times and can’t say enough positive things!

Patrick is very knowledgeable regarding San Diego real estate. His online portal is easy to navigate and useful in helping narrow down potential properties. We were first time home buyers in the San Diego area and had lots of questions-he was incredibly patient and responsive, both via email and via text, and followed up quickly on any pending items. He helped with everything from recommending lenders, to offering contacts for contractors for rehab work. Will absolutely turn to Patrick again in the future for any real estate needs. After such a positive experience it would be silly to go with anybody else.
