I am very impressed with the professionalism of this team! They worked very hard with terrific attention to details and respect for my needs. I would highly recommend Ruby and Patrick as they are knowledgeable, and dedicated to their clients.

There are a number of solid and competent realtors that can help you navigate the paperwork needed to either close a sale or negotiate a purchase of a home. The number of exceptional realtors who can develop a effective markeketing plan based on research, investment and strength of intellect and character are few and hard to find. Patrick and Ruby Raymond are those exceptional realtors. In addition, the other members of their team were each exceptional and epitomize professionalism. When Patrick first approached me, he stated a price than our home would generate that exceeded what I thought the market would bear. Then he proceeded to explain how this sale price could happen. First, he knew our neighborhood and its strength and weaknesses regarding its saleability. Next, he revealed the investments he had made to obtain a data base of pre-qualified buyers from throughout our state and around the country. Finally, Patrick and Ruby provided an in depth strategy on how to stage our home, establish timelines, and present tools they would use to sell the home. Some of their strategies were known but not always followed by other realtors, and additional strategies were proprietary to the Raymond team. The result was that we received three offers each either meeting of exceeding what Patrick and Ruby first told us our home could sell for. Throughout the process they both remained calm and focused even when little hickups occurred. It was a learning experience for us when we had questions about staging the home I found out later from the buyers how much Rubys’ strategies influenced their purchasing decision. Needless to say it is without any reservations that we would recommend the Raymond team whether you are purchasing or selling a home. P.S. They even gave us great input on strategies on how to buy our current home in a very competitive market.

Ruby was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process, she really cared about us, understood our needs. Ruby was always available to answer our questions. Ruby really is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She scheduled the inspection and pest company, made it so easy to get everything done. She was honest and forthright- no games. Would use her again tomorrow if we were to buy or sell in the area.

Ruby and the EXP Team were great; we had a great experience, Ruby was personable, professional and knowledgeable and the EXP Team made sure we had the documents we needed when we needed them. We're sitting in our new home writing this right now. Thanks Ruby, SM

Patrick helped me sell my second home in Grover Beach. Throughout the process he was very responsive and served as an excellent facilitator. I was able to list and sell my property almost entirely from my home state.

We recently purchased a property which needed extensive repairs and remodel. From the beginning it proved to be a tricky purchase. Ruby understood all aspects of the purchase and how to navigate each obstacle that came into play. She was willing to go the extra mile for us and we are happy to have closed escrow and begun work. I would recommend Ruby as an agent without hesitation, she knows the area, understands real-estate law and knows how to deliver the deal.

I'm actually giving Ruby Raymond a 10-star rating! Ruby is the most knowledgeable realtor we have ever had the pleasure to work with. She answered all of our many questions with great speed and knowledge. Not only did she perform her duties as a realtor in an extremely professional, yet personable way, she also went above and beyond to help us. For example, the property we purchased is a 3 1/2 hour drive from our current home, and without asking, Ruby offered to meet the flooring person at our new home to let him in to measure the floors. She also set up a lockbox with a key, and provided the code, so that the propane company could enter the premises to ensure that all the appliances were working properly, after turning on the propane. The flooring company was also able to enter the premises to install our new flooring, without our being there. Because of this, we were spared approximately 14 hours of driving time, which we so appreciated! Ruby's willingness to go the extra mile for us was so impressive, and much appreciated. I can whole heartedly recommend Ruby Raymond for any and all of your real estate needs. Consider yourself very lucky with Ruby in your corner!

We moved to the central coast area and had a low budget for purchasing. Many realtors turned us away and deterred us from purchasing a home. When we finally met Patrick, he was the complete opposite. He was eager to get to know exactly what we wanted and what we were working with. He was always honest, providing his professional and personal opinion when we asked for it. We had A LOT of questions, and he always answered them - even if that meant he would get back to us with the most accurate information he could provide. He helped us find a condo that was within our budget, and a place that is now our beautiful home. He is hands down, the best real estate agent in this area! As first-time homebuyers, he was extremely helpful in answering any questions or concerns we had. He walked us through multiple possibilities and assured us everything was under control when the processes seemed a little slow. He even helped reference people that he has personally worked with for the repairs and updates we wanted to do to your new home. We would highly recommend using Patrick as a real estate agent - he will not let you down.

Professional agent and amazing customer service. Smoothest and most effecient transaction ever. Contract within 3 days because of planned timing and closing within 30 days.

Buying a home with Patrick Raymond was an absolute delight, I highly recommend Patrick for any of your real estate endeavors. I met Patrick simply by calling a number on a random real estate web page showing a property I was interested in purchasing. From that conversation on he successfully guided me, over the following four weeks, and now I type this review from the office in my new home. Patrick's experience shows clearly; he was able to prepare me for every step with realistic expectations and helped set achievable timelines. He remained continuously engaged with me, the seller's agent, the lender, the property management, the title company, and other parties like the home inspector. Patrick navigated through the sometimes rough waters and was able to help me overcome hurdles and obstacles that came up, especially in dealings with the lender. Due to Patrick's many years of experience, I knew exactly what was going on at each step of the way. Throughout the entire process Patrick maintained a steadfast, professional and always helpfully optimistic attitude. I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick Raymond; with him you can rest assured that your home purchase or sale is in the best of hands.

Patrick was fantastic in the sale of our house. He was able to get us the best price possible and always kept us informed of any action or changes. He has a wonderful personality and is very knowledgeable of everything going on in the real estate business. He is very professional. I would never use anyone else to sell my house.

Patrick listed and sold two properties for me this year, and I intend to use him on a third transaction. Patrick is responsive and knows the local area. I am a broker myself, but located in southern California. Patrick is the broker that everyone hopes to hire!

Ruby Raymond has been my realtor for two home purchases and I couldn’t imagine using anyone else. She has a vast knowledge of real estate buying and selling pitfalls and secrets to success. She is honest and will go to great lengths to make sure her clients are satisfied before, during and after the sale. She responds to emails and messages very quickly and is a great asset when background information on Central Coast neighborhoods makes the difference between a house that is what a buyer wants and one that is what he/she dreams of. Ruby recently helped me find the perfect house at a price lower than I ever thought possible in a great San Luis Obispo neighborhood. If I am ever in the market to buy or sell property again, I am thankful that I can rely on Ruby Raymond to be my realtor.

The Raymond team is reliable and knows this area very well. They expertly guided me through the legal steps in order to have my home ready to be purchased without delays. Excellent professionals.

Ruby and the EXP Team were great. We're in our new home right now writing this. Ruby helped make this happen and if you are looking for a home in the 5 Cities area I suggest you give Ruby a call. Thanks Ruby, SM

Patrick is a perfect choice to handle the purchase of a new home or sale of an old home. We've had him handle both aspects for us recently. He appears to be personally invested in the process and is immediately responsive to your questions and concerns. He explains every step of the process thoroughly and understandably. We are 100% pleased in our dealings with him.

We chose Patrick as the agent to sell our rental property based on his past performance on a similar property. He provided top level customer service. We had an offer within 30 days on the market and closed escrow in just over 60 days. I was living out of state when my tenants vacated the property prior to the sale. Patrick not only handled everything for me, but made me feel as if I was right next door through the entire process. He is a true professional who seems to thoroughly enjoy his job. I would not hesitate to use his services again. Highly recommend!
