About Patrick
With over two decades of experience as the owner of From the Center Pilates Studios & Teacher Training in Chicago, Patrick has successfully transitioned into a thriving career in real estate. His small business background equipped him with valuable skills that seamlessly transferred to his work in real estate, where he’s had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of clients in and around Chicago.
Patrick’s clientele spans buyers, sellers, investors, and fix 'n' flip companies, providing him with a broad spectrum of experiences. Through these interactions, his passion for architecture, design, and interior spaces has been reignited. Patrick has actively contributed to projects ranging new construction to from full gut rehabs to kitchen and bath renovations, offering expertise in cost analysis, floor plan design, room sizes, cabinet and fixture selections, paint colors, tiling, appliances, and more. Each project becomes a source of deep pride and responsibility for Patrick, and he is committed to going the extra mile to ensure its success.
Drawing on his background as a business owner, Patrick brings a strong work ethic and dedication to his real estate endeavors. His hands-on, concierge-style approach with clients is rooted in the belief that he should deliver the level of service he would expect for himself. This means effective communication, providing information, problem-solving, exceeding expectations, and being readily accessible for his clients. Whether it's detailed analysis and reporting, pricing considerations, preparing for a sale, or reviewing contract terms, Patrick makes it a priority to address all aspects of his clients' needs.
The numerous 5-star reviews Patrick has received are a testament to his unwavering work ethic and commitment to each client. Having called Chicago home since 1984, with a brief stint in Philadelphia, Patrick has a profound love for the city. Currently living in the West Edgewater/West Ridge area, Patrick has lived in Rogers Park and Edgewater. An avid and active individual, he enjoys biking around Chicago, although his recent addition of an electric scooter has added a new dimension to his transportation preferences. Committed to personal wellness, Patrick maintains his dedication to Pilates and meditation practices, and holds a 2nd degree brown belt in Shotokan karate. As an extension of his community engagement, Patrick has initiated a Men's Meet-Up group, further connecting people with the vibrant spirit of Chicago.
Patrick was great to work with, knows the market and the neighborhood - as well as all the ins and outs of the buying process. He's also a lovely human being. As a first time buyer, everything was easy to understand and provided to me to help me make the right choice.

Rick Lee It was a delight to work with Patrick. He has extensive knowledge of the Chicago real estate market and its housing stock. He also was able to see things that I could not. I really appreciated his support through what otherwise is a daunting process! Oh, and I especially enjoyed his sense of humor. I actually started looking forward to seeing places with him!
