Patty Eddy's background in architecture gives her a design sense second to none, and the imagination and insight to help clients sift through appearances.
"I can walk into a house and it might have the worst wallpaper and the worst rugs, and I can help clients get through the initial shock, and see if there's more to it. I also can help them decide if it's going to be more expensive in the long run because of underlying problems."
Patty's low-key, organized and detail-oriented, but best of all, she's cheerful and creative. She has a knack for really listening to clients, and helping them think outside the box.
She tells the story of a couple who were very particular about the kind of house they were looking for, and that it be on the ocean. When it wasn't coming together, she helped them reevaluate. They were avid sailors, and were going to spend a lot of time out on the water anyway, so she found them a perfect house in Rockport Village, just two blocks from their mooring.
"It felt good to get them something they're just crazy about," she says. "They're so happy, and someday, when they've stopped sailing and really need to be near the water, I know we'll find that waterfront home."
Patty came to Camden Real Estate having known Scott Horty for years and she likes the team approach he cultivates. "We all like each other, we all share ideas, and there's a really positive energy. Scott's smart. He's forward thinking and he wants to go places. I want to be on that train."
After following her husband, Robby, a master yacht model builder, from Boston to Maine in 1984, Patty can't believe her good fortune. "I'm a skier and I love the outdoors. It's very vibrant here... it's a great community. There're all different kinds of people. Our friends do all sorts of different work, and they're all different ages. If I had stayed in Boston, I'm not sure my life would be as diverse as it is now. That's the glory of this place."
"Patty stuck with us through a decade-long search that led to the perfect house for us in Camden. She never pushed and always gave honest, informed feedback on the available properties. During the closing process, Patty was diligent and helpful with referrals. Patty knows the Camden/Rockport area and the community. That she is a lovely person is icing on the cake."
"Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience without the right realtor on
your side. When my wife and I decided to relocate to Maine we were referred to just
that right realtor, Patty Eddy of Camden Real Estate.
During the purchase process Patty’s topnotch experience, knowledge and
professionalism was of great support for us. We never felt that she was trying to
“sell the house” to us. Rather, she encouraged us to make our own decisions based
on the valuable information that she provided every step of the way.
Reflecting back on our journey with Patty, we certainly appreciated her expertise
and efforts to make things happen for us. "
"Patty Eddy is real, she’s down to earth, and she’s experienced. We had not bought or sold a house in over 25 years and consequently we needed plenty of advice and guidance.
Patty provided that guidance without being rattled by our inexperience. Instead, she quickly and effortlessly educated us and led us through the many complicated steps of the house-selling process. And throughout those many steps, we appreciated and relied more and more on her genuine and seasoned expertise.
When it came time to purchase a piece of land suitable for building a new house, Patty’s experience was just as valuable. We did not worry about the details because she was paying attention, always representing our best interests throughout a complicated searching and buying process.
Thorough, dependable and always prompt. Easygoing, relaxed and savvy… we valued all of these things – and more – about Patty Eddy as our real estate broker."
"Dear Patty,
When I purchased the land in front of your home to build, I didn't realize what an imporant role you would play in my move to Camden. Once I decided to buy a home instead of building, you were the one I turned to for guidance. First and most important, you listened to what was important to me. When I was ready to make an offer on the wrong home, you pulled me back to my priorities; passing on a quick role, you were acting as a good neighbor and not just interested in a quick sale and commission.
Even though I was beat on my original offer on the right house, you didn't give up. You kept watch and when the house came back on the market you were on the phone to work with me on a new offer.
The home is the right place for me. Thank you for treating me as a friend and not just a customer."
