TESTIMONIALS

    Hi Jennifer, No matter what happens with this buyer and this escrow, I just want to take a minute to say how incredible you are. I've been doing the Freddie Mac files for 4 years and I don't know if I've ever seen a listing agent for the Seller put this much effort into resolving a potentially serious problem in such a timely manner and with such integrity. I have been so inspired to see you doing this level of research and hard work, and continually communicating with the parties involved in this escrow. 9 times out of 10 I end up doing all of the legwork on these code violations / permit violations, and escrow drags out because I don't have the resources (leaving to inspect the property, etc.) that the agents do, so I really never expected this level of involvement on the listing side. I am so excited to see that there are still some agents out there who are willing to take the bull by the horns. Regardless of whether we work on one deal in the future together or 100, I am just completely impressed by your work ethic in this situation and didn't want another day to go by without letting you know. I also shared this with the Sellers attorney yesterday and they agree. You are fabulous. Thank you so much for being accountable and knowledgable and easy to work with.

    Dear Tammy, Thank you so much for all your efforts and hard work connected to making the sale of our property happen. You went above and beyond the call of duty while dealing with us and our property. Please know all your efforts were very much appreciated. We will not hesitate to recommend you in the future any chance we get. Thank you. Thank you.

    Jennifer has been and will be my realtor for life! I'm scared if she decides to retire!!!!! Jennifer has helped my husband and I buy (2) homes and sell (1). I trust her expertise, opinions and industry knowledge at every step of the process. Not only is Jennifer a great realtor but a great person and I'm lucky to know her. She and Tammy are quick to answer questions, anticipate needs, and do it all with a smile. Thank you for being the VERY Best!!!!!
  • Louis & John
    Desert Dream Realty has been such a blessing to us. They have been informative, understanding and cooperative. Our home sold in just 3 days. We recommend them personally. This can be a overwhelming process, but we've never felt this way!
  • Steven W. Schneider
    Rob, It looks like we're a few weeks away from finalizing our 5th and 6th real estate transaction with you since 2010. Three with Julie and I and three with the girls. I'd just like to say that we have enjoyed working with you while you helped us all to find a Scottsdale home, a space to help us ease the grip of South Dakota winters. The process of buying and selling homes can be a trying experience especially with the condition of the marketplace in the past few years. We have appreciated your market knowledge and expertise in helping us through all of our transactions. It has been a pleasure to get to know you and Cindy and your whole team. Thanks for all your guidance and help. I'm sure there will be more to come.

    Finding the perfect home is difficult enough, but then negotiating to get it at a price that works can be even more challenging. First we asked Rob to assist us with an investment property. This time, it is a second home. My husband and I were not easy to please in selecting a home. We had many expectations and a limited budget. Rob understood what we were looking for and found just the right home. And I don't think we would have come to an agreement on the purchase of our home without the help, patience, and expertise of Rob Cohen. Rob is honest and knowledgeable and I will be recommending him to friends whenever possible.
  • Colleen B

  • Teresa B
    We absolutely love working with Jennifer at Desert Dream Realty. We’ve had her as our realtor since 2014 and purchased two homes with them. They are accommodating, easy to work with, communicative and supportive. Plus they provided a donation in honor of our late daughter and support veterans. 100% recommend Jennifer and Desert Dream Realty.
  • J. Clarke
    Desert Dream Realty was absolutely perfect in every way! She listened to what was important to us and truly allowed our interests to guide her in selecting which properties to look at. Once she helped us find "the one", she made the process so easy and did everything she could to make it as seamless and straightforward as possible. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any and all that are in the home buying or rental market. I promise, you will be as amazed as we were! Thank you Desert Dream Realty!!!
  • Marybeth R.

She is so dedicated to her clients; always going the distance to make sure you are completely happy with your decisions. With all of her knowledge, she is willing to help you at a moment’s notice. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with her and feel so fortunate to have found our dream home!!!

Jennifer Patnode graduated from ASU in 1992 and began her real estate career in 1995 working in property management. As manager, she played an essential role in training new managers, maintaining occupancy and tenant relations, plus teaching classes such as fair housing. 

After getting her real estate license in 1999, Jennifer began working diligently with investors in 2004 selling distressed, pre-foreclosure and lender-owned properties. Her property management background made her a natural as she knew how to identify good rental property. Through reading the notice of trustee sales posted in the paper daily and knocking on doors, she quickly developed a following of investors as well as helped home owners by selling their homes. Homes not in resale condition for the retail market were purchased by her investors.

Jennifer has extensive experience in researching for difficult sales including hiring an attorney to expedite probate, settling an estate during escrow, estimating payoffs and even conducting extensive research to ensure clear title for buyers purchasing a home without title insurance. She shows this same dedication in selling REO and other properties whether it’s determining a lien belongs to another property, researching HOA issues or finding out about any background issues that may affect a sale.

Jennifer and her team work the entire Cave Creek/Carefree and Phoenix areas. Her extensive knowledge of the investor market and experience in distressed and foreclosure homes and properties, has provided her with the background to ensure her clients and her team’s clients receive service second to none. Jennifer is well respected within the industry and has completed more than 700 successful sales!

Jennifer is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, the Arizona Association of REALTORS®, and the Scottsdale Area Association of REALTORS®. She enjoys working with people and helping them with their real estate needs. As a founding member of Desert Realty Group and now a partner of Desert Dream Realty, she helped to set the standards and core values for the team which include maintaining a strong work ethic, providing high quality customer service, and maintaining a high standard of honesty and integrity in all transactions. We are dedicated, educated and experienced professionals and look forward to fulfilling your dreams one home at a time! Find your DREAM HOME with US!
