Patrick Nagel

Patrick was our realtor on the recent sale of our condo in Oakland. I was originally going to try a sale by owner, but reconsidered because the market is crazy in Oakland right now. Patrick was an excellent decision and the commission fee was more than worth it. I know I would have never sold on my own, for the price that Patrick obtained for us. Patrick gave us good advice on staging and minor improvements — all paid off! Patrick also coordinated the cleaning, painting, new carpeting and staging for us which took a lot of stress and time off of us. After 2 open houses, we received 15 offers. Once we accepted an offer, the sale was closed in less than 3 weeks. Patrick has a great understanding of current market conditions in Oakland, which is invaluable at this crazy time. I highly recommend Patrick if you are looking for a great realtor with a practical approach to sell your home.

I had the pleasure of working with Patrick on a purchase transaction last month. It amazed me how easily he communicated with his clients and how professionally he conducted himself.
If you are looking to buy or list your home in Oakland, i would highly recommend Patrick for a truly first rate experience.

Patrick helped us out finding a place in Oakland during a period where inventory was low and «bidding war» was going on. He took the time to understand our needs and requirements; he is easy to talk to and has been patient with us (we weren’t really sure what we were looking for at the beginning). In less than 3 months helped us closing on a property.
The fact that he is from Oakland helped dramatically. He would always make the extra mile to make himself available when needed; even during the closing process which could be challenging for a first time owner.
I would clearly recommend Patrick as a realtor.

Patrick was a joy to work with and did a phenomenal job selling our house. He had great advice throughout the process and it really paid off in the end. Patrick was always available to answer our questions or address any concerns. Plus he’s an Oakland native and really knows the area well. Highly recommend!

When we decided to look into houses in the East Bay, we looked on Unilocal for a realtor close to the areas we were looking at.
We came across Patrick: there were just a few reviews, but all saying that Patrick was very helpful and awesome. I called him and he returned my call promptly.
During the entire process, he was invaluable. In a sellers market, when everything needs to happen immediately, Patrick was our savior: when we needed to make a counter-​offer with crazy terms and our credit union couldn’t do it, Patrick helped us get another loan in a couple of hours with somebody who could meet those terms — we wouldn’t have gotten the house otherwise; when we needed an extra inspection while we were traveling away from the Bay area, Patrick was able to get somebody and do it for us.
Patrick showed us a variety of houses, and was always available to visit a place outside of open house times to really see a place and have him give us his opinion about the place. He always advised us on properties without pushing us to overbid, always leaving it to us to make the decision that worked for us.
For the paperwork, we were able to do pretty much everything by email, and Patrick was always very prompt to reply to all of our questions. He made the entire process, for a first-​home buyer like me, easy; to the point that we got to the end of the process, and I was surprised that there wasn’t more to do.
If you’re looking to buy a house in the Oakland area, give Patrick a call. Super nice, very professional, and very knowledgeable: we got a house we love, quickly, and pretty painlessly, thanks to him.

We successfully purchased a house in a crazy, low-​inventory market, and we feel Patrick was a big part of that success. He patiently found new listings for us – listings that met our stated needs – and schlepped us all over the East Bay to look at these homes. He was continually sensitive to our financial limits. He taught us was good and was wasn’t so good about the homes we were viewing. In the (insane) bidding process he helped us strategize. He kept in contact with our lender as well and helped us understand the process and make clear our needs and questions to the lender. Ultimately we succeeded with Patrick!

Patrick exudes patience. He worked with my wife and me for nearly a year while we considered making offers on several houses and made offers on several other houses until we found a place that we could truly call home. Patrick actually made the process leading up to ultimate big decision fun. He has a lot of experience in the housing market and knows the East Bay and all her neighborhoods extremely well.
Patrick also has a great number of contacts that can help someone through the entire process (from finding the right load to getting those repairs done once you’ve closed). If you are considering buying home and need some one that you can TRUST to help you figure out one of the biggest decisions in life I highly recommended you give Patrick a call.

I met Patrick through one of my wife’s co-​workers who knew we were interested in buying a house in Oakland. We met with him and we knew instantly that he would be a perfect realtor for us. We were first-​time homebuyers, so we really needed an experienced Realtor and Patrick fit the bill.
Patrick utilized his unique knowledge of the city of Oakland (his hometown) and helped us find a great house here in the hills. My wife and I were very anxious throughout each step of the process, but Patrick’s calm demeanor helped to ease our worries. He was available to help at any time and was very hands-​on. My wife and I did encounter some not foreseen challenges with our purchase and Patrick was able to help guide us to find appropriate resolutions.
Eventhough we’ve been in our house for 5 months now, Patrick still checks in periodically to see how our transition is going. We have a beautiful house that we feel comfortable in and I truly believe that Patrick is the main reason why. I recommend Patrick without reservation to help you navigate real estate here in the Bay area.

I met Patrick last year through my brother George, who had purchased a home that Patrick helped him find in the Hayward area. Ironically, we met at my brothers housewarming party. Patrick talked about helping my husband and I find a home, and at the time we didn’t think we could do it.
Over the next several months, Patrick helped us view properties in Alameda, Berkeley, Albany, Castro Valley and all over (I mean ALL over) Oakland. He was never pushy, and never let us get in over our heads, he stuck by us through several attempts at offers, and eventually helped us find the perfect house for us (it took almost 10 months!). He even sat with us during our loan meeting. It’s nice to have that support!
My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our home, and with Patrick’s professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge of Bay Area Real Estate. I would highly recommend him to all my friends.

With the addition of our daughter, my Fiancée and I decided to purchase our first home. We felt very good working with Patrick. He was extremely knowledgeable and aware of what it was we were in the market for. Patrick treated us with the utmost respect, and was a lot of fun to work worth. With time, we were able to locate our dream house! He is very professional, and a super nice guy. We received several listings at a time. He takes his work very seriously, which is why I highly recommend him as a Realtor.

I’ve known Patrick Nagel my whole life, so I already had the trust and integrity factor figured out with him. Little did I know, although Patrick is a specialists in the Oakland area, that he would be able to help me find my dream home in San Jose. I mentioned to him that I was looking to buy in the South Bay. 30 minutes later, he provided me with an agent he had worked with in the past. She was an expert in South Bay properties. She handled our purchase, without any problems, and I had the added comfort in knowing that Patrick had worked with her, and knew that she was a good agent. Patrick went out of his way to ensure I had a successful purchase of my dream home.
