As first-time home buyers, my wife and I needed to find an agent who was knowledgeable, patient and could be a trusted Sherpa throughout this process. Patrick was all of that and much more. Knowing that we wanted a midcentury modern home in the valley, we reached out to Modern Living LA of the John Aaroe Group. We were fortunate to get a call from Patrick within a few hours. He listened attentively to what we were looking for, paid attention to the details, mindful of our price range and the things that were most important to us. His passion for and knowledge about the style of architecture we were interested in was apparent and we felt as if he understood what we had in mind almost immediately. Very quickly, in a way, we became a small team. We were confident that he would help us find our dream home and boy did he deliver! As we looked at several houses, Patrick would guide and advise us accordingly. He was always punctual, always awaiting us with a cheerful smile and contagious optimism. Sometimes as we'd tour some of the homes, he'd point out the quality of upgrades and work done (or the lack thereof) and he'd give us insight that went far beyond what we expected (e.g., local laws, permits, etc.). He knows the local housing markets and kept us focused on the path we'd set out on. He hustled for us and his persistence resulted in us finding an incredible home by an architect we were already fans of. From our first conversation to our closing to our move and even now, he's been extraordinarily attentive and on the ball. As I type this from our incredible living room, I am confident that we could not have made a better choice. read more

I just completed my second Los Angeles condo purchase through Patrick Brown and I cannot say enough about the incredible service he provides. When conducting any real estate transaction; responsiveness, thoroughness, and knowledge of the market are so critical for a smooth and successful deal. Patrick provides all of these and more. He brings to the table his personal insight of Los Angeles neighborhoods, helping you make the right decision and sees your transaction through to completion. For this transaction I was in the San Francisco a lot of the time. Patrick met my inspectors, picked up keys, FaceTimed me as he walked through a unit he thought I would like and saw to every detail. I highly recommend using Patrick and plan to use him for all my LA real estate needs. read more

We had known Patrick for many years and he consistently demonstrated his knowledge of the area that we wanted to live in, his passion for what he does and his understanding of who we are as a couple and what we were looking for in a home. He didn't waste our time or his showing us places that were out of our price range or nit what we were looking for. Buying our first house was a HUGE commitment and Patrick guided us through the process with patience, understanding and a genuine desire for us to find our perfect home, not just any home. He always made us feel like we were his most important client, even though he clearly has a number of other people he is working with. He always made himself available to show houses around our schedule and gave us as much time as we needed to explore each venue. Once we had been approved, Patrick's handling of all the other parties on our behalf was also very professional and made us feel that he was on our side and watching out for us. Patrick's clear consistent communication was a huge help in navigating through this complicated process. I am the sort of person who needs to know and understand every tiny detail and Patrick was infinitely patient with my questions and was able to explain everything to me. read more

Moving from New York to LA in a short time notice. Selling NYC APT while buying LA house at the same time can be stressful. When hire a realtor of course I want to hear their feedbacks on properties, Patrick really listens to my need and lifestyle and give the right suggestions without being pushy. I have lot of questions because Im not native here and new to LA, he answers fast even off work hours which I didn't ask him to. Now I am settled in my new house in LA, will definitely use him again if I need to buy/selling properties and recommend him to anyone who need to find properties in LA. Thanks again! read more

We can not say enough great things about our realtor Patrick Brown of Modern Living LA.  Our journey to home ownership started out as pipe dream. One that we never thought could be part of our reality. A passing joke about our current living situation led to a real discussion about our future and actual ability to purchase a home.  That conversation with Patrick rejuvenated our dream to own a home in Southern California.  His knowledge of the market and how we would be able to navigate this market was a breath of life into a once dead dream.  We have known Patrick for many years as a good friend. It has been wonderful to watch him grow as a person, father, and real estate agent. Once Patrick set us up with a dedicated loan officers of FOA mortgage (who were also amazing) we hit the ground running with the properly defined parameters.  After Patrick showed us many potential homes, we finally decided to put an offer in a condo in a lovely family friendly community.  As first-time homeowners we relied on Patrick's expertise to guide us through the home buying process.  He did a stellar job making us feel comfortable and informed on each step of the way.  We opened escrow on the condo and everything seemed to be going according to plan as the weeks went on.  Suddenly and without warning the seller requested to cancel the sale.  We were in disbelief and a little heart broken that the deal and our dream of owning our 1st home was falling apart.  Our realtor, Patrick, never stopped advocating on our behalf to save the sale. Eventually, we made the painful decision to let go of that condo since the seller could not be persuaded to sell her home to us. Patrick worked in conjunction with our lawyer to cancel the contract amicably. When we were about to lose hope about living in this great condo community, a realty anomaly occurred. Patrick found another condo that had just gone back on the market in our desired condo community; do to their seller not being able to close the deal.  Patrick went above and beyond and immediately arranged a viewing for us the day after Thanksgiving.  We toured the 2nd condo which was a different layout than the first however it still checked off many of our wish list items.  We decided to put in an offer on this property and Patrick went right to work to ensure that this condo would be ours.  Patrick worked with his amazing team at Modern Living LA to help expedite the process since the holidays were fast approaching and we eager to close the deal by Christmas.  Patrick was confident that he and his team would have the keys to our 1st home in our hands before December 24th and they did not disappoint.  We like to say that this is our own Christmas miracle, our little miracle on 34th Street if you will.  We are overjoyed to be settling into our 1st home with our little boys.  We are so grateful to Patrick Brown at Modern Living LA for believing that were could be homeowners and never giving up on finding us the perfect home. read more

We saw a few different agents before we settled with Patrick Brown. My husband and I were new to LA and he took the time to show us the city so we understood all our options, and then worked with us to focus our search and criteria. He didn't waste our time with properties that weren't a good fit and also helped us move quickly when there was something he knew we'd like - which is critical given how quickly the market moves here in LA. We have found a home we absolutely love, and without Patrick I don't think we'd have secured it at all, let alone for the competitive price that we did. He not only understands the market and reads individual needs well, he is also an expert with the purchasing process which helped us overcome the inevitable hurdles along the way - securing a loan, getting inspections done within deadlines, negotiating reductions etc. I couldn't recommend Patrick highly enough and will definitely use him again.. when the time comes! read more

Besides Patrick Brown being extremely knowledgeable in neighborhoods, architecture, local laws, and general human nature he is a genuinely lovely human and family man. I had a lot of requirements and not a huge budget but Patrick never lost patience with me. In fact he would often preview houses and reject them knowing what I was looking for, so that I didn't have to take the time to see them myself. In all honestly Patrick Brown is the best real estate agent I've ever worked with. I couldn't recommend him enough, but you'd better believe I'm going to try! read more

Patrick is one of the best realtors I have ever worked with. He was the consummate professional; calm, diligent and an excellent problem solver. He represented my MCM house, managed to get 3 major reviews from the likes of curbed and dwell magazine. He and Modern Living LA were available from start to finish. Truly boutique style service~ I was out of state during the sale and he took over handling details the owner typically would do, with a great attitude. He was all in on marketing, behind the scenes research as well as brain storming with me the client. He got a record breaking price for my house in our area. He was so easy to talk to and work out strategies with, no ego, just a well informed skill set. And not once, even when I knew he was busy, did I feel like he was phoning it in. Seriously, I am a bit of a cynic with business and he redeemed my faith that there are good, caring professionals out there that have pride in their work all the way to the end. He is thorough and has a very excellent way about him working buyers and sellers. You cannot go wrong with Patrick! Feel free to contact me for further verification. I am happy to help guys like this because they are rare! read more

I met Patrick Brown, the representative of the Modern LivingLA team with whom I started working while he was hosting an open house I attended by chance. I expressed interest and over 3 meetings at the house, including one where he included the developer, I became impressed with Patrick's easy-going nature, knowledge of the house and the sales process. Plus, his willingness and patience to deal with my own neurosis, and his efficient and thorough follow-through gave me confidence and put me at ease. When it became clear that the initial house wasn't going to work for me, Patrick was ready to guide me toward other properties he thought I'd like. He was a quick study and understood my tastes and what would appeal to me. He found the right property within a month...and in only 4 weeks it was mine! Dealing with Patrick was a pleasure from day one. He was never pushy, and always made me feel like my needs and opinions were being listened to and understood. He would incorporate my input into his next steps and made the process super efficient and comfortable. I was extremely busy at work during my escrow period. Patrick was a godsend in that he not only guided me through the process, but understood my interest in multiple, varied and detailed inspections. He masterminded the whole process and kept it on track. Very impressive! I couldn't be happier! read more

We met several agents when looking at properties but Patrick shone out from the pack as someone who understood our needs, who was trustworthy and who would make the house buying process as simple and painless as possible. He listened carefully to our wants and very very quickly found our dream home (it was the second property we viewed). We are first time buyers in America and Patrick went the extra mile to help us. He patiently explained the process and then held our hand through each step of the process. Patrick is wonderful, we can't recommend him highly enough. read more

I met Patrick Brown at a house he was showing in Silver Lake; I wasn't interested in the house, but I was immediately interested in Patrick helping us out. We'd met several LA realtors, who treated the job as a sideline or were part-time or were really not cut out for anything. Patrick is not one of them. He knows his stuff. He knows the Siler Lake area well & took a Saturday off to drive us around in his car to view a few properties. When we found a property he guided us through the process of buying our first house in LA. He set up inspections and made sure everyone involved - from lawyers to mortgage brokers - were kept in the loop. He was always easy to reach for advice and willing to give it. And he went the extra mile when closing approached. But, what really makes Patrick a great realtor is his kindness & attention to detail. When we closed he drove a long way out of his way to give me the house keys. AND, then he left a bunch of well chosen gifts at the new house for us. That wasn't necessary, but was really appreciated. You won't find a more attentive, knowledgable and decent realtor in LA than Patrick Brown. read more
