“ After selling my rental property in Folsom this summer, I still wasn't sure what my next investment would be. I researched different investment possibilities, talked to financial advisers and other investors but didn't feel the advice I was receiving was putting me in the direction I wanted to be in. A few weeks later I received a RPC flyer in the mail. I called Patrick and we discussed different options regarding my 1031 exchange. I felt that Patrick's knowledge and experience with investment real estate was going to assist me with my goal of obtaining properties. Patrick's staff was very helpful throughout this process and made the process easier for me. I know have several properties in contract with RPC and look forward to many more in the future. ”

“ When Cheryl and I started into this process of semi-serious investing in real estate we did not know what was in front of us. We had been knowing Patrick Smith and his brother Chris for over ten years as property managers for us. When Patrick came to us with the idea of diversifying we first needed to be educated on the pros and cons of the process he was offering. He took pains to explain the whole package of investing via 1031 exchanges from start to finish. Once we gave them the go ahead, Patrick and his office did all of the research and analysis while explaining our options all along the way. As well as providing the typical brokerage functions they also lined up financial people and property managers for the properties we were acquiring. Since we were not the only clients involved they were able to have more clout to bring real quality people to help through the transactions. This endeavor is one more example where good people make all of the difference. The staff at Patrick's office were first rate and went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating to us. We were and continue to be pleased with the service from Patrick Smith and his staff. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in pursuing a similar direction. They serve with integrity and distinction ”

“ Well, Pat saved the day for my brother and I when our ideas for a 1031 exchange in 2005 didn't pan out. He was referred to us by Bayview Exchange. We went to to Pat with two weeks left to locate 3-5 properties and he put us into great SFRs that are doing well. I was nervous at first because I knew nothing about Pat Smith and his team. I also cringed at first when I started having to pay his assignment fees. Looking back over the past year, every deal was well worth the assignment fee that I paid Pat Smith and his team. Each deal would have cost me at least 5 times his fee if I did it myself...and I would not have the peace of mind of an expert like Pat properly advising me and constantly researching markets. It's now been over a year working with Pat and it's been a pleasure. My brother and I have used Pat to acquire 6 properties over the past year and his team makes it easy. We have been impressed with every aspect of our transactions with Pat. From our initial meeting with him reviewing a potential property, to him showing up at closing to make sure our closing statements look good, he has been very professional and fun to hang out with every step of the way. I can go on and on, but as a 28 year old I have many more years of real estate investing and plan to have Pat involved in every one. Thanks! ”

“ I would like to thank you for all of the effort you and your staff have provided to me in getting my real estate investments started. Just two short years ago I owned no real estate except for my home, in that short period of time, I have accumulated 21 units of real estate and my net worth in those properties is now $950,000. You and your staff have assisted me in finding great properties in growth markets. This is the key to successful real estate investing. I don't have the time or the expertise to find these markets or research these areas in order to determine what is good and what is bad. You have done all of that for me and with your help I have accumulated multiple properties in various states, all in growth markets. I can't thank you enough and continue to recommend you to all of my friends who are serious about getting their real estate investments on track. ”

“ My husband and I have been working with Patrick Smith and his team for a little over 8 months. During that time we have purchased four out-of-state rental houses. We have really been impressed with the knowledge and service Patrick has given us in these deals. He has listened to our needs and goals, and he is helping us to meet them. He has even come in on his day off to be there for us while we signed documents at Title. We have also been pleased that Patrick is very knowledgable about the real estate market and has only suggested we purchase homes where there will be future growth. Also, its been great that after each house was purchased, he supplied us with top knotch management people in the area. With Patrick as our advisor, we feel we have made wise investments and yet have not had to spend a lot of time doing our own research. ”

“ Pat Smith and his team have been outstanding to work with. He understands our goals and has led us to the perfect investment properties to fit our financial situation. He thought of all aspects of the purchase and management of the houses, and his analyses of each property has proved accurate and helpful. He is always available to meet with us and assist us with our real estate endeavors. We appreciate the knowledge and integrity that Pat exhibits, and we know that we will have many more transactions with him in the future ”
