Biography
I am currently a REALTOR® for RE/MAX Urban in Dallas. Although I’ve been unofficially in real estate for many years, I started my licensed real estate career selling for a multi-million dollar sales team in one of Boulder, Colorado’s top real estate firms. The housing market in Colorado suffered greatly in July of 2007 and I moved back to Texas. I’ve spent the majority of my life in and around Dallas and, although Colorado is very beautiful, it is good to be back home.

Initially, after graduating school, I left a rural Missouri town in January of 1983 and headed for Dallas. I spent 12 years working in various customer service and marketing positions for American Airlines at DFW International Airport. I voluntarily left American in 1995 to open a digital imaging service bureau in Englewood, Colorado. It’s there I expanded my knowledge of digital printing and marketing. I also developed a digital scanning and storage solution for the College of Architecture, Landscape and Planning division of the University of Colorado, Boulder.
In 2001, after selling my business to a local FASTSIGNS store in Colorado, I joined FASTSIGNS International, Inc. (the franchisor) in Carrollton as a Technical Services Advisor and Corporate Trainer. I helped FII make the transition from machine cut vinyl signage to digital printed banners and signs. It’s there I won employee of the year after only two and a half years of service. When my work there was complete in 2005, I started merging my years of experience in digital imaging and marketing with my knowledge of the real estate industry.
My first official marketing work for a seller was developing 3D online marketing plans for Antares Homes in Arlington, Texas. I later expanded that to and created high definition virtual tours for Antares. After that contract was complete, I decided I could offer most of these services myself to my own clients (Sellers). A seller’s agent, among other things, is the one responsible for properly marketing the home - the better the marketing, the faster the sale.

"The real estate market in the US has been on an economic roller coaster ride with no captain at the helm for quite some time. The intricacies of the market place leads one to conclude, rightfully so, that the 'devil is 'indeed' in the detail' when it comes to a home purchase or home sale. This is even further complicated by the fact that there are thousands of brokers and agents - each one vying for the consumer's business. Some of them are as unscrupulous and sly as can be; however, Rich Patterson does not at all fit remotely into this group. Rich's professionalism, his interest in helping his clients find the right home or the right buyer for a home, and his down-to-earth and humorous personality make for one trusted person on whom you can count to do the job you seek with integrity and a smile or laugh.
I count myself among those who knew absolutely nothing about the intricate process of purchasing my first new home. I put myself completly into Rich's care to help guide me through the bamboo-laden track of sorting out the places to see, not to see, not to touch; neighborhoods of good and ill-repute; houses versus condos; HOAs; neighbors, roof repair, foundation repair, alleys, streets, businesses; sewer systems; decorating ideas, - in fact, I'd be Rich's model for writing a 'Home Buying for Dummies' guidebook.
Our path started in March - was interrupted by a 2 month business trip to India until June and ended last Friday with my closing on a condo near downtown. The process was long and arduous; however, with Rich's expertise, his knowledge of the Dallas area; his wealth of resource on his website; and his friendship, I survived and came out a very satisfied customer. Thanks Rich - for everything."

I recently purchased a home. Rich Patterson made the experience extremely easy. I had heard horror stories from friends that have tried to purchase homes during these rough economic times, so I was a little apprehensive to buy one, so I discussed my concerns with him. He thoroughly addressed all my questions and concerns, and was prompt in doing every thing to make my home ownership dream come true. He was so helpful and found me the perfect place. I couldn't be happier. I would encourage anyone that is second guessing themselves about purchasing to give Rich a call. I will be telling all my friends about my wonderful experience. I just couldn't believe how easy the overall experience really was.
