Testimonials
There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves.
So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.
I would be happy to email you additional testimonials if you are interested.
Rod and Marvis Custer:
"We cannot say enough about how helpful Pattie was throughout our home search process. She was absolutely tireless and patient in showing us a large number of homes until we found the house that was just what we were looking for. One of the things we most appreciated was the way she took time to carefully listen to what we were looking for and then persisting until we located the place that was exactly what met our needs. Throughout the process, she was absolutely tireless and completely professional. We never got the sense that we were being rushed or directed to just "buy something" to finish the process. She did a great job of keeping things moving while giving us the time and space we needed to think about this important decision. Perhaps most important, Pattie knows the community very well and was able, through her personal and professional connections, to locate possibilities that were not yet on the market. In fact, she was able to find exactly what we were looking for in a home that was not yet listed for sale. She was able to accomplish this in a manner that was both discreet and very professional. We could not be more pleased. Finally, once our offer was accepted by the seller, we found Pattie to be very thorough with the mountain of details involved in getting ready for closing. Throughout the process, it was clear that she was our advocate and that she was committed to things going smoothly. We are pleased to recommend Pattie Parrett without reservation and would definitely use her services again should we ever look for another property. In summary, Pattie is persistent, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and personable."

Marvin and Helen Friedt:
"A friend of Pattie's introduced us to her. Pattie is very patient and showed us a few houses. As we chose the house we purchased, Pattie was very clear about all the details of purchasing a home. Pattie called us on updates of any changes. We are very happy and Pattie would be a realtor we would recommend to anyone."
Bill and Carol Coburn:
"The first thing people ought to know is that Pattie is fundamentally a good person and treats people well. She is also very professional, knows the real estate business and is committed to representing her client as best as she can. Pattie is a good communicator both when visiting with her and also keeping you informed about the market through timely emails. She knows the real estate market very well and knows how to price your house to get it sold within the timetable that is established. Pattie has the knowledge to help get your house ready to be sold and if needed has the resources to bring advisors to assist. We were extremely pleased with her performance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home."
David Haney:
"We have bought or sold five houses in the past ten years through real estate agents, and Pattie Parrett is by far the most professional realtor we have ever worked with. Buying a house in South Dakota while you are living in North Carolina is not easy, and thanks to Pattie the entire experience was as smooth and worry-free as it possibly could have been. She gave us excellent advice but always listened carefully to our preferences and carried through very efficiently on the decisions we made. She looked out for our interests at all times, and she was a strong advocate in the course of occasionally difficult negotiations with the seller’s agent. She was in constant communication with us by phone and by e-mail, and we felt comfortable that we knew exactly what was going on at every step of the way. She performed several services that were above and beyond the call of duty, including finding us a lawn care service, looking out for job opportunities for my wife, and negotiating with our renter. She never lost her sense of humor, and she did a very god job of keeping us from losing ours. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a thoroughly professional, friendly, and hard-working realtor. "
Cheryl Brewer:
"Pattie is a very personable and conscientious realtor. She is knowledgeable about her market and knows what she is doing. She sold my home quickly. I also appreciated Pattie's willingness to help me with whatever was necessary to make the transition regarding the selling of my home as painless as possible. Her concern is for her client. That is very refreshing in this day and age. I would have no problem recommending Pattie to anyone who is looking to sell or buy. She will go the extra mile for you. That is definitely a good thing. Good job, Pattie. Thank you."
Todd and Jeanne Sands:
"Pattie truly made our home-buying experience enjoyable and easy. Her outstanding knowledge of the local real estate market and her utmost professionalism makes her the top choice as a Northern Hills Realtor. Not only was she patient and understanding in the home-buying process, she helped us "jump" into the Spearfish life. Pattie was on top of every detail and kept us updated on everything. We love our new home, and would recommend Pattie to everyone! She is dedicated, passionate about her business, and we now consider her a good friend. "
Sean and Christina Karrels:
"Pattie is the hardest working realtor we've ever worked with. She does not let anything fall through the cracks when it comes to the sale of your home. Pattie is very detail oriented, well-spoken and knows real estate! Pattie's profound sense for superb customer service makes her stand out from the rest! Pattie sold our home in less than 60 days after months of being on the market with another agency. She can do the same for you!"
David and Kathryn LaConte:
"We wish to thank Pattie Parrett for the wonderful job she did selling our house. She was very efficient in marketing the house, very understanding and responsive to our needs and concerns, and very quick to find us a buyer. We sold our house at the highest price possible at the market time...which turned out to be higher than some other agents quoted.
Pattie was always available regardless of the time or day. She was always responsive and always very positive and considerate. She did a great job of streamlining the selling process. We are thankful that we chose her to sell our house, and would highly recommend her to other prospective sellers. Pattie was truly a pleasure to work with."
Craig and Mary Cooper:
"Pattie Parrett was wonderful to work with during the transaction of selling our home. Because I have known Pattie for several years having had her children as students in my classroom, I knew she would work hard to do the best job she could for us. And . . . she did! Craig and I found Pattie to be confident in her abilities in addition to being considerate of our needs. She was always very organized and reliable during our business dealings. We believe the selling of our home was a smooth process because of Pattie's expertise in working with people. She has a friendly, calm demeanor which enables her to work well with others. It's obvious she wants to do what she can to provide the best service possible for her clientele. We were very pleased with Pattie's attention to details, her focus on our requests, and the timely manner in which she handled the selling of our home. We would work with her again, without a doubt!"
Mike and Connie Larson:
“We found Pattie to be exactly what we had been looking for in a real estate professional . . . We experienced many positives in dealing with Pattie. She was honest. If she didn’t know the answer she told us, and then got the answer, most times from the cell phone while we were standing on the property. During our initial meeting she was more prepared than we could have hoped for. She had not only property information but also good information on the area . . . She was patient in the process. She showed the type of properties we wanted to see. She seemed very connected in the real estate area. We saw many properties that were not yet listed . . . Rather than go back and forth to the hotel, she insisted that we bring our dog along for the second half of the showings. That in itself makes her a rare find. Obviously we could go on and on saying good things about her but the bottom line is your search and purchasing process deserves Pattie Parrett for property in the Black Hills.”
James and De Saulsbury:
“We recently purchased a home in Spearfish, SD . . . Buying a new home always creates some difficulties and anxiety especially when you are 500 miles away. We have never been to Spearfish and knew no one there. How extremely fortunate we were to meet Pattie in the first real estate office we entered. She showed us numerous homes in the area spending a great deal of time with us. We really liked a house which was in the final stage of construction. Pattie was not only friendly and thorough but also guided us through the negotiation process to closing. Pattie kept an eye on the place to ensure everything was completed correctly and to our wishes, since we could not be there to monitor that phase. We could not have selected a better real estate agent if we tried. Lady luck was smiling on us the day we met Pattie. We have become good friends and will remain so. We highly recommend Pattie as the best in her field.”
