Working with Patty Contreras on the sale of our Olivenhain home has been working with a consummate real estate agent professional. Patty has been an uncommonly conscientious, insightful, and deeply supportive partner. She marshaled her exceptional knowledge of the home selling process. She insisted that every detail be in place and in black and white. And at every turn, she demonstrated a highly refined set of negotiation skills that led to a successful outcome for both seller and buyer. Patty is persistent, patient, and resourceful in equal measure. She is serious about her work… serious about informing, educating, and protecting her clients. In the convoluted process of selling a California home, you won’t find a more tireless and committed real estate agent.
What you want when you sell a home is someone who advocates for you at every turn. Patty did just that. We always knew she had our best interest at heart. We had unexpected challenges and we navigated them together. She is no nonsense, direct and competent. We have only sold a few houses in our lives and this was, by far, the most professional experience.
When my family and I decided to make the monumental move from the East Coast to the sunny shores of Carlsbad, we knew we needed a real estate agent who was not only knowledgeable but also deeply committed to making our home buying experience seamless and enjoyable. Enter Patty Contreras who came to us highly recommended from our friend who lives in Torrey Pines. From our very first interaction, Patty stood out as a true professional in the real estate field. Her extensive knowledge of the SoCal region with over 20 years of experience, combined with her unwavering dedication, made her the perfect partner for our cross-country move. She understood our needs and desires from the outset and worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was addressed. Moving from the East Coast to the West Coast is no small feat, but Patty made the process feel almost effortless. She provided us with a wealth…

Patty is an outstanding real estate professional who helped us sell our home in La Costa Valley for over our asking price and in less than a week. Her advice throughout the process (pricing, staging, etc.) was excellent, and her experience really worked to our advantage.
My wife and I are relocating from the Bay Area to San Diego. We wanted to buy a house that fits both our needs and taste quickly, as we were decidedly averse to the idea of a drawn-out house hunting process repeatedly making trips to SD. In order to execute this plan, finding a highly knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent was of paramount importance. I first became acquainted with Patty through my online inquiry on a listing of hers in Carlsbad that just went into “Pending”. She kindly called me back and discussed the status of the pending sale and our prospects as backup buyers. Impressed by her professionalism (as another listing agent didn’t bother to reply to my online inquiry), I made my first SD house hunting trip to meet with Patty. We made a flurry of non-stop house tours in the areas of interest - mainly in Carlsbad (La Costa Oaks, Aviara, La Costa Valley) and also in …

Impressed by her professionalism (as another listing agent didn’t bother to reply to my online inquiry), I made my first SD house hunting trip to meet with Patty. We made a flurry of non-stop house tours in the areas of interest - mainly in Carlsbad (La Costa Oaks, Aviara, La Costa Valley) and also in Carmel Valley. Her profound yet intimate knowledge of and astute insight in the housing market in these area were on full display during our time together and left an indelible impression on me. After the trip, my wife and I were convinced that we’ve found our agent in Patty, and the rest is history. With Patty’s expert help and with just one more trip to SD, we found our dream house in La Costa Oaks. She skillfully negotiated a good price on the house and we closed escrow this week, becoming proud new SoCal homeowners! Throughout this whole process, Patty demonstrated outstanding mastery of her craft as a real estate agent. She was methodical, paid meticulous attention to all the details, and always had our best interest in her mind. Last but not the least, I’d also like to add a few comments on Patty’s qualities as a listing agent. Her staging is impeccable, and her photos are of magazine quality that perfectly showcases the high points of the property. I wholeheartedly recommend Patty to be your real estate agent, whether you are a buyer or a seller. You’ll be so happy with this decision, just as we are!
My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Patty to help us close on our first home in April of 2024. We initially started our home search in early 2023, but given the complex market conditions and rising housing costs in the area at the time, we were both becoming very frustrated and were thinking about stopping our search all together until the market had a chance to cool down. That is, until we met Patty. From the very day that we began working together, Patty showed us why she is a premier agent in the San Diego area. We were blown away by her knowledge, expertise, and overall professionalism, but we did not expect her kind and caring approach that made us feel that she truly cared about us as people, not just another sale. Patty proved time and time again that she was laser focused on helping us find our dream home no matter how long that may take, and she went above …

We are incredibly thankful for Patty and would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone who is looking for an honest, professional, and overall outstanding agent. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Patty in the future, both as an agent and as a friend.
Working with Patty was an absolute pleasure. Her market knowledge and experience were invaluable in structuring our winning offer, but the best part of working with Patty was her communication, diligence, and attention to every detail all the way through the transaction to close of escrow and beyond. She literally supports every step of the process, with clear explanations, recommendations and guidance. I have now worked with Patty on both the buy and sell side of a transaction and her service has been exceptional.

When it came time to sell our home in Carmel Valley, San Diego, we knew we needed the best real estate agent in the area. After interviewing several agents, we chose Patty Contreras, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Patty's knowledge of Carmel Country Highlands was evident from the start, and her professional approach stood out from the rest. Our home selling experience was seamless and stress-free, thanks to Patty's dedication and expertise. She prepared our home meticulously and advised us on beautiful staging that truly showcased our property. Her responses to every text were prompt and thorough, ensuring we were always informed and comfortable with the process.

If you need a real estate agent who will go above and beyond, think of Patty Contreras. Her expertise, dedication, and personal touch make all the difference.
I highly recommend Patty. She is knowledgeable, dedicated and conscientious. She managed all the little details not missing a single opportunity to list and sell our home for the highest and best price. Patty was intimately involved in every detail of our home sale working all open houses and attending every showing. Patty is compassionate and honest navigating the emotional experience of buying or selling a home. I highly recommend Patty and will definitely use her again.
I got lucky with Patty. I met her at an open house and was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the house she was selling along with her genuine warmth, professionalism and relaxed demeanor. She took care of me during the entire process of buying my current home. She never missed a beat about any detail and was always available and on the ready if a problem arose where she spearheaded the solution and remedy. I am so grateful I was in her capable hands. You could not ask for a more professional real estate agent who knows exactly what is going on. Her experience is indispensable!!!
After Patty helped me sell my home, I was unsure about the best way to find a new home in the community in which I was interested. I thought it made sense to work with a number of different agents who “specialized” in real estate in that community. In the end, it was Patty who found my new home and helped me negotiate the purchase. I was surprised at how competitive the current real estate market is, and it was a huge advantage to work with Patty since other real estate agents know and respect her and therefore give preference to her clients. As with the sale of my home, Patty helped guide me through the complexities and nuances of buying my new home, for which I was very grateful. I would recommend Patty without reservation; she is ethical and committed to helping you find the right home at the best price.
Patty was amazing! She saw the condo, got it ready for sale quickly and professionally and saw to every detail. She was efficient, always kept us informed as the sale process went on and continuously updated us. She followed up quickly with all our questions ,was honest, reliable and pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond by coordinating all the repairs, identified the materials needed and set up a time schedule for completion. The staging was beautiful too! She was so thorough! she has a great team working with her. I would highly recommend using Patty. I would definitely use Patty again with another sale.
My husband and I had been looking for a new home for quite a while. We attended an Open House and on that wonderful day, met Patty. We told her what we were looking for, and soon after, Patty was showing us properties that she thought would be a perfect fit. The day we walked into "our house" all three of us just went "wow". We fell in love and of course bought the house. Patty and her team could not have been more professional and on top of every detail. Patty was constantly in touch throughout the entire process of escrow, and we could not have been happier with our decision. Patty became our Realtor, but also a dear friend. When I decided to downsize recently, I called Patty to ask her to sell my house. The house sold in four days, and two weeks later, Patty met me at what would become my new home. I walked into a beautiful Condo and said "wow". I can't wait to move in! Patty and h…

I was referred to Patty from a neighbor of my Mother when it came time to sell my Mother's house. Patty agreed to meet me on the same day I contacted her and immediately impressed me with her intimate knowledge of the area, the specific development, and her professionalism. Since I live in Orange County, my ability to get to the property was limited and Patty gladly stepped up to manage the various contractors we needed to get the property ready for sale. She provided me with her existing network of excellent contractors and also helped me with some of the decision making for what needed to be done (Paint color, carpet style/color and staging) her judgment and advice was always right on. Patty conducted herself as much a Project Manager as she did a Real Estate Agent and for that I am extremely grateful because I could not have done it myself.

She was also available 24/7 and was in constant contact with me throughout the process. The property sold in three days for 20% above our asking price and were able to close in a very short time. I really can not say enough great things about Patty and the service she provided. I would use only Patty in the future for my Real Estate needs.
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Patty Contreras from Compass. We spoke with several other realtors prior to meeting Patty, however none of them made us feel 100 percent confident in their ability to represent us to our satisfaction. In Patty's case we knew she was our agent 15 minutes into her presentation. She came on short notice, was completely prepared, impressed us with not just her knowledge of the current market but with her overall plan to sell our house, and, more importantly, gained our trust. She never let us down. Patty prequalified potential buyers so as not to waste time, arranged for photos and a video, was excellent in presenting the best features of our home, accommodated us in every way possible, and helped us in personal ways too numerous to count. She was always there for us, listened to our thoughts and opinions and advised us accordingly.…

She succeeded in every category. We respect Patty not only because she's one of San Diego's best realtors, but because she is also a smart, intuitive, understanding, competent, interesting and loving person. Thanks Patty!
Patty is an amazing realtor. She answered my call immediately when I spotted a “For Sale” sign w/ her name on it for a listing in Solana Beach. She showed me the property within a few hours. We prepared and she submitted my offer within a day which was accepted partly because of my willingness for a quick close of escrow. She handled the entire sales process exceptionally well and proved to be a consummate professional. I recommend her.
Patty demonstrated a wealth of insight and experience throughout our home search and the closing process. Given the competitive market conditions, Patty’s expertise was crucial when determining when and how much to bid on properties. We found our perfect home and ended up with the winning offer out of 16 other competitive offers - it was solely due to Patty and her team’s expertise! Uniquely, a value-add when working with Patty is her eye for design. She collaborates with a team of experts (inspectors, electricians, contractors, lenders, builders, custom cabinet makers, floor specialists, insurance brokers, etc.) throughout the process which gave us invaluable insight and comfort when submitting offers on houses that we planned to remodel. Working with Patty removed a great deal of stress from the homebuying process, and her experience is truly invaluable. She goes above and beyond fo…

She goes above and beyond for her clients…she is not just a real estate agent; she is SO much more than that. We seriously could not imagine going through the home-buying process without Patty and Kelley. If you are considering buying or selling a home in San Diego, Patty should hands-down be your top choice.
We are very grateful for Patty. She helped transform our home to get it ready to sell. She worked tirelessly on design, vendor recommendation/interviewing and contractor management. She handled a ton of the work while we relocated out of state. We were confident everything would be handled professionally and with excellence, despite not being there. She helped calm our nerves and guide us through the transaction. Patty did far more than we ever imagined. She is a great negotiator, fair, kind, helpful and diligent. I highly recommend Patty. Her entire team is professional, accessible, knowledgeable and client orientated. Patty has a vast knowledge of San Diego real estate, a pulse on buyer's expectations and gives her all to her clients.
After interviewing several Realtors® we hired Patty due to her outstanding presentation on how she planned to market our property, her Stella record and her very apparent passion and attention to detail for her profession. Patty provided a top notch, start to finish “concierge” service, bringing in seasoned and vetted contractors to prepare the house for sale (gardeners, painters, window cleaners, electricians etc…). The house was professionally staged, turned around and listed on the MLS all within a week. Patty handled every detail since we had to be out of town that week. Even though we were not able to have Open Houses due to Covid restrictions Patty received multiple offers in the first week of being listed. We closed escrow in 30 days at asking price.
I would rate Patty a 10 of 10 as an extraordinary agent and here's why. She understood exactly what we needed to do to prepare our house for the highest possible price, what that ambitious price target should be and was instrumental in completing the preparation within 2 weeks. We received full asking price which was over $200,000 more than any other real estate agent recommended for list price. Many times she went over and above what we would have expected from prepping the house, to the last few days of the sales process. She has great relationships with resources such as painters, flooring, roofers and handy-men that also go the extra mile for her. She coordinated the best photo shoots and drone video I have ever seen. We have known her for many years and have seen her sell homes by transforming them and selling them for top dollar.

After interviewing several real estate agents it was clear that she is truly an expert in this transformation process and was able to personalize it to our objectives. She truly transformed our home in a very short time to get it on the market for the best timing. And the proof is in the results, selling so quickly and for list price the day it was on the market. Patty truly went the extra mile to help us through this process and was there for us every step of the way.
Bar none the best Realtor® we have ever had the pleasure to know. Exceptional responsiveness, above and beyond service, and extra attention to the details to ensure best results. Cannot recommend Patty enough.
We chose to team with Patty after some of our family had worked with her to purchase their home. She came highly recommended! We valued how Patty used her experience and knowledge of homes to give us an accurate picture of each property we saw. It was impressive that she had a team of people in the industry that she could recommend to us for repairs and remodels. We also appreciated how she was always doing her utmost to respect people's times and deadlines by staying ahead of schedule. Patty was always in regular communication with us. When making offers, she gave us time to digest big decisions as well as nudged us forward if we needed it. We would absolutely recommend Patty to our family and friends. Her knowledge of the area, the process, and how she negotiated our offer were unparalleled.
We chose Patty Contreras as our Realtor® because of the great job she did in helping us find a home. Her knowledge and experience of rules and regulations within the local area are phenomenal. It was due to the wonderful partnership we formed during our first buying experience that we requested her services again in selling our current property. She was always available to us, as her clients, to answer questions or concerns at any time of day throughout the entire process. One of the most impressive qualities we experienced was her forthright attitude and disinclination to back down which showed us that she always had our best interests at heart. Patty has created and encircled herself with an amazing group of professionals who work hard and assist her in making the home purchasing/selling experience a memorable one.

Patty made a few calls and by the next day had someone on-site who transformed our mediocre yard into a relaxing oasis. Patty also encouraged us to use a staging company to help increase the value of our home. At first we were a little reluctant, but once the staging company completed their work and we were able to see the results, we determined it was a good recommendation which turned into a great investment. We would recommend Patty Contreras to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. And know If you choose her you are getting the best Realtor® in San Diego county and should be prepared for an amazing experience.
Patty recently helped me put an offer on a property in San Diego. In a competitive market with multiple offers, I learned firsthand how important it is to have an agent who’s experienced and understands how to write a compelling and clean offer. She understands what's needed to compete with other buyers and get an offer accepted when there's stiff competition. She helped me get into contract without overpaying for the property. Because it was an older, historic home she was extra diligent in setting up a full set of inspections to look at every aspect of the house. This turned out to be a blessing. The inspections came back with a lot of very serious and expensive problems ranging from foundation to electrical to environmental hazards. Given how much my heart was into the home, I probably would have still purchased it, but Patty gave me straightforward and honest advice about the realiti…

Many Realtors® would have pushed to close, but Patty put her own self-interest aside to ensure she protected my best interests. I’m beyond grateful for her honesty and professionalism. I highly recommend Patty to anyone looking to purchase a home. She has all of the qualities that make her a great agent. She’s hard working, responsive, smart, diligent, and trustworthy. And most importantly, she puts her client’s needs above her own. Thank you Patty for all of your hard work. It’s greatly appreciated!

Patty provided a top notch, start to finish “concierge” service, bringing in seasoned and vetted contractors to prepare the house for sale (gardeners, painters, window cleaners, electricians etc…). The house was professionally staged, turned around and listed on the mls all within a week. Patty handled every detail since we had to be out of town that week. Even though we were not able to have Open Houses due to Covid restrictions Patty received multiple offers in the first week of being listed. We closed escrow in 30 days at asking price.
We chose Patty Contreras as our Realtor because of the great job she did in helping us find a home. Her knowledge and experience of rules and regulations within the local area are phenomenal. It was due to the wonderful partnership we formed during our first buying experience that we requested her services again in selling our current property. She was always available to us, as her clients, to answer questions or concerns at any time of day throughout the entire process. One of the most impressive qualities we experienced was her forthright attitude and disinclination to back down which showed us that she always had our best interests at heart. Patty has created and encircled herself with an amazing group of professionals who work hard and assist her in making the home purchasing/selling experience a memorable one.

Patty has created and encircled herself with an amazing group of professionals who work hard and assist her in making the home purchasing/selling experience a memorable one. Any time we had a question or needed a service provider, she had a contact for us immediately. I was busy with work but struggling with how to improve my yard and patio area. Patty made a few calls and by the next day had someone on-site who transformed our mediocre yard into a relaxing oasis. Patty also encouraged us to use a staging company to help increase the value of our home. At first we were a little reluctant, but once the staging company completed their work and we were able to see the results, we determined it was a good recommendation which turned into a great investment. We would recommend Patty Contreras to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. And know If you choose her you are getting the best realtor in San Diego county and should be prepared for an amazing experience.
This is our second time working with Patty, this time to sell a house. She jumped right into getting our property ready. Patty worked to get every last detail perfect and the results showed. She was extremely organized, honest and communicative through the entire process. Once listed, our house received multiple offers above asking within a few days. Escrow and close were smooth. Patty was a joy to work with and we'd recommend her to anyone.
Patty is a firecracker! She came well recommended from a friend who had worked with her twice previously. With multiple cash offers over listing, and potentially buyers willing to go higher, we would not have been selected and purchased our dream home if it were not for Patty. She also worked tirelessly to line up all of our inspections and everything to close escrow in only 10 days. She’s an amazing negotiator and go-getter, and also had a complete list of great inspectors and contractors. I will 100% chose her again as our real estate agent!
Patty's unbelievable communication, responsiveness, attention to detail, honesty, can do attitude and smarts positioned everything to go smoothly. All was said and done in almost exactly one month - the new owners moved in within that 30 days as well! NONE of this would have happened without Patty's focused efforts to help us and the buyer in absolutely EVERY way.
What can I say, attention to detail and support throughout my buying experience was amazing. No wonder this has been my 4th transaction with Patty. She truly is above and beyond others. She is always one step ahead.
The negotiations became very complex, and downright worrisome; Patty remained strong, and due to her excellent negotiating skills, we are on our way to our forever home in Northern California. We highly recommend Patty Contreras for your real estate needs.
We received our first call show the home within 30 minutes of it being on the MLS; the negations that followed were intense. Patty held strong and her above-average negotiating skills sold our home within the price range we wanted.
Patty defines attention to detail! She treats every home sale as though it were her very own home and gets the job done! Best realtor we've ever had!
We loved working with Patty! She made the process a lot easier for us, answered all our questions and went above and beyond for us! Thank you Patty for all your hard work!

As an out of area realtor, Patty Contreras took Point Loma by storm and sold my home for the highest selling price in Fleetridge. Patty transformed the out-of-date home to an exquisite showpiece. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to drive the house through the whole sales process provided the catalyst for the best sales process possible.
Patty is very knowledgeable. She is very familiar with all the houses in 92130, their builders, their models, their pros and cons, which would greatly save you time if house hunting, especially when you just reloed from out of state and are blind of 92130. We bought our house through Patty in Feb 2013 and I still feel lucky we got it. I recommend Patty as your realtor.
