”A little more than a year after Pat knocked it out the park and sold my Marin County home of 20 years for $215,000 over the asking price ($2.1M), he facilitated the sale of my parents’ home in Orange County, CA,"
-Gary Marsh
"The Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, appointed our company to sell the property on behalf of disputing parties after the death of a family member.
Because one of the parties to the lawsuit was still occupying the home and the property needed attention, we believed this would be a very challenging assignment.
We engaged Pat Kapowich to list the property for sale and we were immediately impressed with his professionalism and his earnest desire to assist us in all facets of the sale process."
-Rick Marquis, Court Receiver
"Dependable, respectful, resourceful, and can-do attitude!
