Testimonials
My husband and I purchased our first home with Patty. We had no idea what we were doing, and we needed something VERY specific, as we have horses and cows and a low budget. Using Patty for our house hunt was the best decision we made along the way!
Patty was able to weed through houses just by looking at them online. With her experience, she can spot issues a mile away. The ones that looked promising we would check out, and she would tear the house apart. She left nothing untouched or unturned – I’m talking opening every cabinet, door, and checking out every nook and cranny.
We needed to move and our niche search was taking forever. I started getting emotional and not using logic. Patty had multiple opportunities to take advantage of a fast sell with us, but instead she talked us OUT of houses that would later turn into a nightmare and put what was best for us first. She even went as far as calling the local sherrif department in an area she felt wasn’t safe for a young family – and she was right (…again).
Finally, we found a house that fit our needs. I never would have even considered it, but Patty talked me into checking it out. We’ve been here 7 months now (and love it!) and have not had a single surprise since moving in. Patty was able to find any and everything wrong with it, so we knew EXACTLY what we were buying. She walked us through every process along the way.
Patty was absolutely amazing. She was so attentive and always available to answer questions. She went above and beyond. I feel like she gave us 200%. She is also a BLAST to work with, and we created lots of fun memories along the way (like getting lost in the woods and ending up down the road, and sketchy side by side rides to name a few). The saddest part about the whole process was once it was over and we were done working with her.
If you are a young person or don’t have a lot of experience Patty is the EXACT person you are looking for. Her years of experience and attention to detail is something that just can’t be duplicated. She has turned real estate into her craft and is a master of it. She will save you from any headaches and put your needs first. Plus, she is an amazing person. Thank you Patty for everything! With love, the Schaefer’s 🖤
I have been doing business with Patty for nearly two decades. Most Realtors are in and out of the business within a few years. Patty is a dedicated professional that has the experience to work through the sticky situations and support her clients properly. She is the kind of person that you are so glad works for you and not the other side! Transactions are complicated and stressful to say the least and everyone needs a proven winner like Patty on their side to guide them through the maze of modern day requirements.
Patty goes above and beyond what most real estate agents do. She walked me through every step of the way while selling mom’s house. I highly recommend her! You won’t be disappointed.
Patty is a dedicated agent/broker with over 20 years experience. If you want professional service, and someone dedicated to your success in selling or buying a home, she is the agent for you. Over the years she has sold three homes for me, and found four homes to purchase. I am very pleased with her service.
Patty is my “Go To” realtor! She has sold a home for me and my wife and helped us buy our current home. She has been a great help getting these things done and I plan on using her in the future.
Patty did a great job selling our house. She was easy to work with and went above and beyond our expectations! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.
County Cottage Realty was fabulous to work with. Questions were answered in a timely manner. Communication between the buyer’s broker and our broker was quick when going back and forth on the contract. This realtor was professional in all aspects of the sale, from listing to closing.
Patty occupies a unique space in the somewhat crowded St. Louis Realtor marketplace. Because she is not associated with one of the big guys it affords her the opportunity to have access to all properties and technologies, yet allows her the nimbleness to work with each home buyer and meet their exact needs (in a very professional and pleasant way, might I add), versus having to conform to the rules and guidelines set forth by a large company. You will find yourself in good, caring hands with Patty Vergano!
I would highly recommend Patty as she recently sold our house. She is very thorough and pays close attention to detail. She gave us ideas on how to stage our home to sell and was invaluable when we were looking at homes to buy. Her knowledge and experience helped us see things that we would not have noticed otherwise. She stayed calm and collected during stressful times. She was great!
Patty provided a very high level of expertise in both objectively matching properties to our needs as well has shepherding us through the complicated processes involved with purchasing and selling a house. She kept us well-informed about which inspections to perform as well as a great understanding of house issues unseen by most. We highly recommend Patty as both a buyer’s and seller’s agent!
Patty is a great Realtor! She had our house up for sale and sold within 3 months. Very diligent and helpful!!!
Patty was very patient and thorough when helping us sell our home. She was realistic in her expectations and encouraged us along the way. She sold our home relatively quickly in a sluggish market and negotiated fairly. I would recommend Patty to help anyone buy or sell their home. When helping us buy our new home she was a wealth of information. She is not only knowledgeable about the current market and locations, she also knows a great deal about construction and codes. She steered us away from many situations that we would not have been aware of had it not been for her!
I have worked with Patty on several occasions, and would highly recommend her to anyone with real estate needs. In my experience, she has been sincere, knowledgeable and a good listener. I would recommend her as someone that will put your needs first.
Patty Vergano of County Cottage Realty was wonderful to work with. She understood our wants and needs and did her best to provide the services to really promote our home. She was pleased overall with our staging of our home, but also gave us pointers on what she thought would help even more. She understands the market and also that it can be an emotional time when selling. It is business, but it is also personal. I would recommend Patty to anyone wishing to sell and buy a home.
Patty was so easy to schedule showings with! She gave us great recommendations for staging our house…It sold FAST!!
Patty did a great job for us when we retired and wanted to move to Florida. She worries about the details and makes sure everything is lined up. I would use her again if I lived in the St. Louis area.
She was helpful through the entire process. Patty listened to what I was really looking for and helped me to find just the right house in the price range and area I wanted. I would highly recommend her.
Very happy that we chose Patty as our real estate agent. She is a great agent. We were extremely pleased with the whole process of her selling our home. She is very knowledgeable. She communicated with us every step of the way and was always there for any questions we had. She knows the market and made selling the house easier than we anticipated. We highly recommend County Cottage Realty.
Patty will always go the extra mile for you! She helped us find our new home and currently has our old home under contract, working diligently to get it sold. She is a great person and great friend.
I may be a little biased because Patty is my mom, but I also have some insight because I have witnessed the way she conducts business for years now. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and puts her clients’ needs before her own. Some agents only care about making the sale so that they can make their commission; you’ll never have to worry about that with her. She has no problem steering clients away from homes that don’t have good resale value or that have risky features that could result in high maintenance costs down the road. She is a genuinely caring person that only wants the best for her clients.
Patty Vergano is the best I have ever had! Very professional, honest, experienced, and will go out of her way to help you the best way she can. You can tell she really cares about her clients.
She helped us with selling our house and buying a new house. She explained everything in way that was easy to understand and helped us with all of our questions. She made everything up to closing and at closing on both houses go smooth, she was on top of everything. And she never made us feel uncomfortable.
Words can not express our gratitude and appreciation for Patty Vergano. My wife and I began the journey with patty about 7 years ago when we first wanted to move. We had other realtors come over and give us their “pitch” as to how their marketing is the best and how they were all #1 in their company. Pattys approach was much different and much more relaxing than anyone we had experienced. Not only was she not pushy but she encouraged my wife and I that in Gods timing things would work out. Over the past seven years Patty graciously came over and gave us advice on things she would or would not do to sell our house. Never once did she ever hesitate to come or make us feel obligated to use her. Pattys approach was very calming, which is needed in such a stressful time. Finally after 7 years we sold our house and purchased a new construction home. Patty was with us every step of the way and was a huge advocate for us with our builder. Our best interests were always at the forefront of her mind. Her maticulous organization was a huge plus as well. We would highly recommend patty vergano with county cottage realty to anyone! Thank you for sticking with all of our back and forth over these past several years! We appreciate you so much!
I cannot speak more highly of Patty Vergano and Joe Stratton of County Cottage Realty. Their service is outstanding and they both went above and beyond to make our buying process effortless. They have wonderful references to fulfill any contractual needs along the way (mortgages, home inspection, fencing, etc.) and they are both diligent, hard-working and knowledgeable agents. They were both very personable and made us feel like they were working for us, not just for the sale. They were never pushy or demanding, were prompt at addressing any and all of our questions/concerns and were transparent, honest and all-around good people. There were a few minor repairs that needed to be made after closing and Joe offered to help us with whatever needed to be taken care of. He even met us at closing and was just as excited as we were. Buying a new home is a huge venture and I wouldn’t trust anyone other than Patty and Joe to handle such a significant task. Not only have they become friends along the way but they helped us find our forever dream home and made the entire process wonderful. I will always recommend them to anyone who asks who the best agents are.
Patty is an incredible realtor! I can’t rave enough how helpful she was during the entire process of buying a home! This was my first time buying and she walked me through every step. She went out of her way to set up inspections, take me through walkthroughs, and answer any question at anytime. She made it a priority to be available whenever I needed her. She made closing a breeze! I highly recommend Patty to anybody looking to buy/sell a property. She’s a very talented realtor!
I love Patty!! I met her many years ago when my best friend bought a house. It was a great experience. This year she helped my daughter buy a house. It was no easy task 😊! She had a limited budget and a big wish list. Patty was very patient about going to look at houses my daughter found (there were lots) and never made us feel like it was a bother. She steered her away from bad purchases. I felt like she treated her as she would her own daughter. She was professional and knowledgeable and really knew the area and what to watch out for. And, she’s fun to work with! I feel like we made a friend. I will recommend her to others and of course use her if I ever need to buy or sell a house.
