CATCH THE BUZZ WITH PATRICK DEARBORN
Paradise…..That is how it feels to be and live in Naples Florida. It's the hum that reverberates between those lucky Floridians of SWFLA who might say to each other: "Pinch me I can't believe I live here in the greatest community in the entire country - maybe the entire world." It's how REALTOR® Patrick Dearborn LLC of John R. Wood Realtors also feels about Naples, where he lives with his family and why he works so diligently to ensure it retains its charm and livability while sustaining its current growth. Patrick also believes so strongly about Naples and giving back to this community, that he wants everyone to 'catch the buzz' of Naples.
But, those who know Patrick will tell you that the buzz isn't just about the community, it's about Patrick himself. While his own enthusiasm and dedication extends to his family, community, fellow REALTORS®, his team and clients, people in Naples are talking about Patrick Dearborn LLC. And, so they should.
As a proud resident of Naples for many years, Patrick loves calling this tropical paradise home. Shortly after Patrick's son Cooper was born, he and his wife Lisa decided to move from Maryland to Naples. They were looking for a lifestyle change. Patrick shares this, “We wanted to get away from the cold weather. We wanted to raise our son where he could be outside all the time. I was drawn to Real Estate here in SWFLA because of my love for this area. I'd always contemplated this industry and thought if you're going to do it, do it here in 'paradise'. So I incorporate my love of the area into every sale I do. When I get buyers from all over the country and world, I don't only want to show them all the wonderful homes and investment deals here, I want to show them all the beautiful places we have and get to enjoy everyday like the beaches, Venetian Village, Waterside Shops, 5th Ave, Tin City, 3rd St, the Naples Pier, our spectacular daily sunsets, the water park and so on.” Real estate is Patrick's passion and he is often heard saying, "I love Real Estate and the process of helping people find the home/2nd home/investment property of their dreams!"
Patrick's professional background can be traced back to his service for our country where he served honorably in the US ARMY-82nd AIRBORNE Division. He was awarded the Army's Good Conduct Medal and the US Army Achievement Award for superior service above and beyond the call of duty. He has taken the meaning of this award and applied it to his life and the way he conducts his business. "You've got to be proactive in this market. Business isn't going to walk up to your door. We live in Paradise, but we need to reach out and let everyone know what a great place Naples is to invest or own a home. I see our market currently on a slight upward trend. With continuing low interest rates, and the baby boomers, families and Europeans flocking to our area, we are experiencing a very busy 2010 Real Estate Market here in Naples and the future is so bright…you have to wear shades"!
When Patrick joined John R. Wood Realtors he found not only the top professional agents in SWFLA, he also found an extension to his family. “The company has longevity! They've been the leader in sales and customer satisfaction of the finest properties in the area since 1958 when it was founded by Mr. John Wood. Its growth has been phenomenal; growing from a single office to six strategically placed facilities. We are among the largest independently owned real estate firms in SWFLA. I was really impressed by Phil Wood, Dottie Babcock, Spencer Haynes and Jerri Cobb and the rest of the excellent management team and Realtors. We were number #1 in average sales per agent in the ENTIRE country!”
Patrick's dedication has helped him assist his many clients transact on almost $80 million of real estate since 2004! "I will ONLY continue to succeed in Real Estate because of the support around me. I have a great office staff in Ann, Barb and Maggie. Alysia Testa (my Executive Assistant), Chad Phipps (lic Realtor), Marie Cavanaugh (closing coordinator) and Debra Pelitera (fellow Realtor I partner with on some listings) all make up this dynamic, multi- million dollar producing team! I could NOT do this without them."
Patrick stays actively involved in the community as a proud member of the Naples Area Board of Realtors; formerly serving as a director for the Florida Association of Realtors, graduating member of the prestigious NABOR leadership development class 2005, chairperson of the successful NABOR/WCR Trade Expo 2005 and 2006, chair for the professional development committee in 2007 and vice chair for the Realtor Political Action Committee. Patrick was also the former elected Vice President/and current Membership Chairperson for the N.A.P.L.E.S. Group (Naples Area Professional League of Executive Services- www.NaplesGroup.net ) and stays involved with the Naples Chamber of Commerce, Women's Council of Realtors, National Association of Realtors and Young Professionals of Naples. Patrick also qualified for “Presidents Club” and the "Gold Award" at former companies for achievement in Real-Estate. He was awarded the "Superior Sales Award" from the WCR for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 AND is listed in "Who's Who in Luxury Real-Estate". Patrick has finished near the TOP in overall sales for John R Wood Uptown Office every year since 2006!
