My name is Patrick Clarke. I am a real estate agent for Home Smart Reality Group based in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, which is also the area I specialize. Frankfort is where i currently reside and the place I was born and raised. I grew up in a family of real estate agents. My father created his own real estate company in 1970 and this allowed me to garner my skills as an agent. He always stressed how important it was to go above and beyond to satisfy the client's every need.
My experience goes beyond the typical buying and selling of homes as I've played major roles in property development and construction over the years. Some of these projects include: Hidden Lakes, South Point Business Park, and Sara Springs. To constantly improve myself and show my commitment to the real estate industry I have acquired various designations and certifications. I am confident that my background in real estate will give you the best opportunity to find a great place to call home. Since I've been in the business for nearly 3 decades I've noticed an influx in townhomes as an affordable living option due to the number of advantages it has over a traditional single-family home.
Townhomes are a perfect option for someone at any point in their lives. Whether you are a first time home buyer or just looking to downsize, townhomes offer an amazing opportunity. Currently, single-family home prices have increased nearly 50% in the last 3 years, while townhomes remain consistently affordable. This means you can prioritize living in the area you prefer without having to pay the steep price of a single-family home. Being in a townhome offers even more advantages such as living in a tightly knit community, access to amenities such as pools and parks, and low maintenance hassle free living.
If a townhome sounds like the right move for you then please get in touch with me. I would love to help you find your future home, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
