We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Patrick! Having Patrick as our agent was one of the best decisions we made when it came to purchasing our first home.
From day one, he made us feel confident and supported through every step of buying our first home. Patrick was the perfect mix of personable and professional—friendly, super responsive, highly experienced and incredibly knowledgeable. His attention to detail and genuine care for our best interests made all the difference. We could always rely on him to guide us with patience, honestly and kindness. We highly recommend Patrick and will definitely send friends and family his way. Thank you so much, Patrick, for making this such a positive experience!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Patrick on a transaction where he represented the buyer and I represented the seller. From start to finish, his professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to his clients were clear. He communicated seamlessly, kept his clients informed, and made sure all parties stayed on track. Patrick truly went above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved. It was a refreshing experience to work with someone so committed to making the process enjoyable and successful for all parties. I look forward to working with him again in the future! Thank you Patrick everything.!

My review of Patrick Lam is based on an open house I recently attended at 2035 35th Ave in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood.

Upon arrival, I noticed a large sign reading "Top Agent Verified" alongside photoshopped awards. It felt a bit tacky, even if the awards were real. I wondered, who exactly verified him?

While Patrick's five-star reviews suggest he's doing something right, my experience was different. Upstairs, I found him sitting in a corner, eyes glued to his phone. His greeting was a quick “Hi, welcome. Let me know if you have any questions,” with no eye contact or engagement.

The kitchen sink and bathroom floors were dirty, which left a bad impression on me and several other visitors.

Patrick, I’m sure you're a skilled agent—your reviews speak to that. But at an open house, being present, engaged, and approachable is key. Next time, stand with purpose and connect with potential buyers. It’s not just about expertise; it’s about making people feel valued.

If we cross paths again, I'd love to chat further. I’m not here to belittle—just to offer some insight.

Best regards,

PS - I hope this property sold fast! I love how spacious it was despite the waste of numerous space on the middle level by the entry level.

Selling our home was no easy task—it was a challenging property in a tough market. We were worried it would not do well, but Pat, reassured us and gave us confidence. From the very start, his professionalism, determination, and deep knowledge of the market were evident. He worked tirelessly, going above and beyond in every aspect of the sale. His marketing strategy was brilliant; he knew exactly how to position our home to attract the right buyers. He communicated with us every step of the way, providing regular updates and invaluable advice. His negotiation skills were top-notch, and even in the most challenging moments, Patrick remained optimistic and focused.
Thanks to his relentless effort and expertise, Pat successfully sold our home when we thought it might never happen. If you’re looking for a dedicated, hardworking, and incredibly talented agent, look no further than Patrick Alan We couldn’t be more grateful for his help and highly recommend her to anyone needing a real estate professional who truly delivers results.

Patrick Lam is a broker himself rather than simply being an agent for one and has an excellent reputation as a top real estate producer in San Francisco. He is very knowledgeable on San Francisco real estate and the current market. He makes excellent recommendations on repairs and small improvements that make an impact on marketability. He is very honest and is an excellent communicator. On top of that, he charges the most reasonable listing agent fee.

Patrick has done tremendous job for selling our house. He gave timely advice, helping on presenting the house, landed personal hands on clean the house, etc…. With his engineering background, he provided extra information on repairing work. He is a very very nice person to work with. Highly recommend for his professional work.

As we looked to find the right agent to work with in selling our home we began by checking online reviews of local agents and of course asking people we knew. A few times Patrick Lam's name was mentioned by people we knew throughout several counties in our region. Further online research found that Patrick was a very successful agent for both sellers and buyers. We wanted someone who could pretty walk us through the selling process, describe the selling environment in our region, suggest best practices, take on project management for any updates needed to influence a sale. Patrick's customer service was excellent as he listened to us and how we would like things done. He guided us on current styles and things that new buyers are looking for. Many of the styles we did not like however Patrick took the time to explain to us why we should consider paint colors and making several simple and reasonable changes explaining the potential benefits of making such changes, needless to say we went with his suggestions and we are happy we did.
Patrick completely managed all of the contractors and the projects which made the updates on the home easy on us.
Patrick also made himself available at all times to walk us through the myriad of paper work, escrow and filing documentation which took a lot of stress off of us as we went through the sale process. All in all, I am very happy with the customer service by Patrick, I recommend you interview Patrick for your next sale or purchase as a potential agent for your needs, if ever we sell or buy again, we will be definitely be calling on Patrick.

Discovered Pat through Upnest, a platform connecting realtors nationwide. Opted for Pat due to his consistent track record of achieving high sales volumes and excellence spanning numerous years. This was evident during our collaborative effort over approximately three months to sell our San Francisco condo in a challenging market with elevated interest rates.

Pat displayed responsiveness, friendliness, genuine care, respect, and an attentive ear throughout our interactions. Notably, he refrained from pressuring us into accepting any offers and respected our specified minimum threshold without hesitation.

In a critical juncture during the 90-day listing period, with staging fees looming and limited prospects, Pat suggested temporarily withdrawing the listing to explore renting options. In response, we proposed a final price reduction, prompting Pat to leverage his network and revisit previous offers. Remarkably, he secured a clean offer at our target price, leading to a seamless closing without complications.

Despite having acquaintances in the San Francisco real estate industry, we intentionally sought someone unfamiliar to mitigate personal connections. We are immensely thankful for the fortuitous encounter with Pat and are pleased with the outcome.

Without hesitation, we plan to recommend Pat to anyone we encounter expressing interest in real estate in the SF Bay Area.
