"I first met the Southers, Patrick, and Shaye in 2007. Patrick sold my condo in downtown JC. Shaye helped me find my house in the Heights. Over the years, Shaye would reach out a couple of times a year to check on me and see if there was anything that the Southerns could do. Finally, in May, I took them up on it. I moved out of JC in 2019 for work. Keeping the home as a rental. This spring I spoke w/ Patrick about getting a valuation on my home. We talked about the conditions in the area and what the future may look like for my house. H...

I moved out of JC in 2019 for work. Keeping the home as a rental. This spring I spoke w/ Patrick about getting a valuation on my home. We talked about the conditions in the area and what the future may look like for my house. He explained that I had what was considered an end-user home. It's a row house, there was no chance a developer would buy it at an inflated price. He also explained that as an absentee landlord, there were tax considerations. After renting it for 3 years and not living there I would lose capital gains tax benefits. Before I was able to retain his services, Patrick suggested that I reach out to my tenants, to ask if they wanted to buy. He offered to give me advice as needed, without listing the house w/ him. My tenants did buy my house. Patrick provided me with invaluable advice from the beginning to the end without asking for anything in return. Patrick and Shaye for over a decade maintained a relationship with me. The service the Southerns provide is beyond the compare. When I return to JC, one of the first calls I'll make will be to the Southerns."
"We have just sold our condo in Jersey City, New Jersey with Patrick's help recently. Patrick used to contact us for a while, but we didn't plan to sell it two years ago. When we had decided to sell, we came to Patrick who provided his professional analysis and opinions to the current market status. The way he suggested us didn't let us feel like that he was pushing us to sell my property in a rush, but let us know what was the best for us to pricing correctly for the property.
