“I cannot say enough about the education and leadership at Patterson-Schwartz. As new agents, our training was very thorough and as we continue our careers over time, the opportunities for expansion of our knowledge are continuous. Whether it be formal classes, deep dive round table discussions, broker's opens to explore the homes on the market, monthly meetings with other industry professionals speaking about issues in their particular field, or just informal discussions with the leadership in our office - our growth is always supported. More importantly, having a leadership team that is always accessible, is amazing. If I have a question that needs to be answered quickly, I know that Chris Cashman will answer the phone or get back to me asap. If he isn't available, Dave, Jason or Sal are only a phone call away and always willing to help!”
“I was licensed in PA in 1995 and then DE in 1997. I spent many years selling in Southern Chester County, PA. I was always heavily involved in residential and commercial sales. My wife and I finally decided to retire to the beach and chose Lewes for our residential paradise. We have never regretted the move and I have never regretted choosing Patterson Schwartz Rehoboth to hang my license. The company provides such an excellent atmosphere for agents and they provide all the tools for success. The Beach market is so vibrant and has so many areas of diverse market choices. My wife and I both have family in the area, so the decision was such an easy one. Thank you Patterson-Schwartz for enlightening my life!!! Joe Donohoe”

“I came to Patterson-Schwartz this year as a transfer agent from another brokerage after 9 months and did not have the knowledge or expertise to write a proper offer or present a listing agreement to clients. I enrolled in the Successful Start program and within 3 months, my business exploded. I am now 8 months at Patterson-Schwartz and have reached “top producer” status! This program absolutely works and it paved my path as a realtor into a true success story. A special thank you to our brokers, our staff, our admin and other real estate agents at Patterson-Schwartz who provided outstanding educational resources to kickstart my career in this industry. Patterson-Schwartz is a stand out brokerage that deserves a 5 star rating in excellence and in customer service care. This company truly helps their agents to achieve their highest goals and to reach their highest potential. I would highly recommend Successful Start to any agent in the business looking to take their career to the next level and to make you the 5 star agent that your client deserves. ”
“Patterson-Schwartz has been very welcoming and the Successful Start Program was a great way to get started! The training itself was invaluable, a lot of very useful information regarding all aspects of real estate plus a great introduction to all of Patterson-Schwartz's wonderful marketing tools! In addition to the knowledge gained, it was a great way to meet other new agents as well as "seasoned" agents that were more than happy to share their extensive knowledge.”
“Coming to Patterson-Schwartz fresh out of real estate school and attending Successful Start soon after earning my license, has proven to be the best decision I could make when looking for somewhere to begin my new career. I knew as a new realtor, I'd need support and help and I have found at Patterson Schwartz. I was easily accepted as a new person and, many times, help was offered even when I wasn't asking. They treat you like family and are invested in your success. I am so happy to say I'm a part of their team!”
“As a newly licensed real estate agent, it can be overwhelming when it comes to choosing a place to call "home". After interviewing with multiple companies, it was clear to me, for many reasons, that I would call Patterson-Schwartz home. The Successful Start Program was a big part of my decision and it did not disappoint! The five weeks of in person classes were SO valuable! If you follow the tracks they give you to run on and put in the work, I believe the sky is the limit! Thanks to Sal, Angela, Justin, Emma and everyone involved in the Successful Start Program!”
“What initially drew me to Patterson-Schwartz was their new and robust Intranet system! Given my background in education, it was obvious to me that the user-friendly system was built in a 360-degree view by an interdisciplinary team, and a tool I desperately needed in my business. Since becoming acclimated, I have really appreciated how unique this brokerage is with the people, training, support, and education. PSA truly has an empathetic “team” approach to success which encourages agents to excel! ”
“As a long-time resident of the Delaware resort area, combined with being a REALTOR® for many years, I realized Patterson-Schwartz was the right brokerage for me — a company which is locally based, stays on top of the constantly changing market, is community driven, provides education and support, and everyone made me feel so welcomed — and made a phenomenal transition possible. I finally found my real estate family in Patterson-Schwartz! ”
“Making the switch to PSA has been the highlight of my career in real estate. I was looking for that “family” feel and that’s exactly what I found with Patterson-Schwartz. I love how involved in the community the brokerage is, and never feeling like a bother when reaching out to the PSA family when a question arises. ”
“Joining PSA was the absolute best decision I ever made for my real estate career. As a transfer agent, I’ve been provided with the infrastructure, the tools, the resources, and the guidance necessary for success — it’s what every agent deserves in this industry. I truly appreciate the endless support from my broker, the staff, and other agents who are always there 24/7 to provide guidance. Since the first day, it has been such an uplifting and motivating experience for me and I am beyond grateful to be a part of the PSA family. It just feels like home.”
“Having been a real estate salesperson a little over 2 ½ years, I wasn't sure how much duplication would take place in the Successful Start training program. The program has been insightful, resourceful and educational. It is giving me the tools, contacts and the confidence to be successful. Having come from a teaching career at the collegiate level, I see Justin as a dynamic professional that exhibits exceptional instructional skills with a robust and dynamic program that I am enthusiastic to use.”
“When I heard Successful Start would be five weeks of additional education following the 99 hours of my pre-licensing course, my first thought was that it would be duplicate information. However, the Successful Start Program is completely different than the pre-licensing course. It provides the tools you need to put your knowledge in practice and our PSA instructors make it fun and experiential. I can't think of new agents succeeding without it.”
“You will get everything you need to become a successful agent in Successful Start. It's been 8 months since I joined Patterson-Schwartz. I have 2 listings and 6 buyers under contract. I could not have done this without the Successful Start class!!! Thanks to Sal, Angela, Justin, and Emma!!! The best teachers and friends, EVER!”
“Since joining Patterson-Schwartz in 1984 I have grown in many ways, not just professionally, but also as a public servant in helping my local community. Always having the support of the company has helped me continue with this and make a positive difference while inviting others around me to do the same. The company has given me many tools and support to succeed for as long as I have in the industry and all of this extends on into the public that we serve! I'm grateful for the many friends within Patterson-Schwartz I have made and continue to make as well as the many friendships I have made with clients! I am also grateful to have met my wife here!”
“Joining Patterson-Schwartz to begin my Real Estate career has been a perfect fit. The Successful Start program provided pertinent information, data and tools to help me start as well as advance my business. Justin was an enthusiastic leader who brought together other agents and brokers from around the company who eagerly shared their own experiences and tips for a successful Real Estate career. Everyone has been open and available. We continue to be introduced to new tools and opportunities. I am happy to be part of this caring and progressive team.”
“Patterson-Schwartz has been welcoming from day one. As a new agent I didn't know what to expect or the questions to ask. When i was given the opportunity to learn more through the successful start program, I jumped on it and I'm so glad I did. The class was so informative and a jump start into the real estate world. Justin was an awesome instructor along with everyone involved. The support at Patterson- Schwartz going forward is something I never imagined. Someone is always there to answer any question you have or lend a hand to help. ”

As a PSA agent, it's very refreshing to know that I have the support of my superiors as well as my fellow agents to allow me to continue to learn and grow in this field. I honestly can't imagine working at another brokerage.”
“I have felt part of the Patterson-Schwartz family from Day 1! My particular situation was a little different in that I worked part-time while still holding a full-time teaching job for 4 years. That's never easy. This November, I took a leap of faith and decided to retire and work in real estate full-time and never looked back! The support I have received from my Greenville office has been incredible. Jennifer and Pam are always available for my many questions and happily help any way they can. The atmosphere around the office is always cheerful and people genuinely want to get to know you better. I think what I like most about Patterson-Schwartz is that they are a local company. They take pride in our community and continue to give back through various charitable events and service projects. If you want to truly feel part of a company, Patterson-Schwartz is the place to be!”
“I made a mid-life career change from dental hygienist/office manager to REALTOR®, and, after getting my real estate license, joined Patterson-Schwartz 15 years ago. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The staff is top-notch from the admins to the marketing wizards to the IT gurus. Every day I know talented people have my back. In addition, the top leadership is fantastic. They genuinely care about their agents and staff, give back to the community, and make ongoing solid business decisions. My manager, Sal Sedita, is always available to give me excellent advice and support. I can highly recommend Patterson-Schwartz as a partner, employer, and company.”
“What can be said about PSA can be summed up in one word: FAMILY. With Linda starting in 1986 and I in 1997, Patterson-Schwartz was welcoming. Our friendships with others in our office have been fantastic: always had a great work environment, extremely helpful with training, and the knowledge of others from around the country. Gave us a chance to grow. No other company ever came along that could match our PSA experience. Thank you, Patterson-Schwartz.”

Our admin are the best around. I could not do what I do without them. I can't imagine working anywhere else. Thank you Patterson-Schwartz!”

See below the impact Patterson Schwartz Real Estate had on the experience provided to the young players. This from a parent of the Delmarva Aces North Baseball team. We just had an experience of a lifetime last week with the Delmarva Aces North Baseball team, and their families. What a week!

But the laughs, the conversations, the friendships, teamwork, encouragement for each player that transpired, are memories the players will carry through life. Great job by the team and coaches.

Three years ago I joined Patterson-Schwartz and it became immediately apparent to me that I joined a company that has been supporting Meals on Wheels and the greater community for far longer!

“I have only been involved with Cecil County Special Olympics for a little over a year. It is the highlight of my month to get together with our athletes and see how much they enjoy the activities. Our numbers have grown and as of this summer we have added golf and bocci ball to our activities. Bowling has been the favorite so far and we always have a good number of bowlers, and it doesn't matter if they are good or not they all are having fun and seeing each other. The Winter Dance was really a success. Food, games, and a lot of dancing, plus a visit from Frosty the Snowman. One of the athletes just went to the States Competition in Florida for basketball. They team came in second. A family picnic is planned for July with games music and of course food. Cecil County Special Olympics is growing every month and it is so special to see their smiling faces and watch them have fun. Thank you Patterson Schwartz for being supportive to this great opportunity and caring about our athletes. ”

When I was in the process of choosing a broker, I thought about resources, training, continuous growth and knowing that I had the team that would guide me in the right path to success. Successful Start/100 days to greatness gave me the tools to start my path in this industry. On the other hand, Continuous help between agents puts aside competition in the business and having managers and brokers a phone call away is everything.”
“This course (Successful Start/100 Days to Greatness) was excellent and Justin is the man! 1 closed and 2 pending in 100 days as promised!”
“I cannot say enough about Patterson-Schwartz and the Successful Start program! I started as a brand new agent at another brokerage, and was lost and on my own. I met a Patterson-Schwartz agent through my first transaction; she was so kind and helpful during that process that I reached out to PSA. I thought wow, if all the agents are this awesome, I want to be a part of that! It was a great decision and everyone really IS that nice! The Successful Start program gave me the tools and confidence I need to start my business. PSA is excellent that communication and has a distinct list of people for what ever I encounter. I always feel like I know who to ask or where to find an answer, and whenever I have a question, everyone is genuine happy to help. I feel welcomed every time I meet anyone from PSA. I recommended PSA to both new and seasoned agents!”
“I am not sure where I would be without the 100 Days to Greatness Program! Taking this class is just what the doctor ordered for me. I am only 5 months in on my own but I have a system now and I am working it and I see real tangible progress. I am so excited to see what 2022 holds for me. I know I can reach out at any time and get just what I need. That kind of support is invaluable when you are taking on a new career. Take the course! Period. Sky's the limit!!”

“As a new agent starting a new and unfamiliar career during a global pandemic, saying I was uncertain, anxious, and filled with self-doubt would be an understatement. Even with these feelings I had heard from multiple people that partnering with Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate would be the best decision I could make and they were right. From the first time I met my soon to be broker to my first conversation with the career development team I was in awe of how welcoming, knowledgable, and professional every member of the team was. Every session of Successful Start was engaging, informative and honest. The team brings in content area experts to support the material which also gives new agents a chance to meet members of all departments. I learned so much from the initial Successful Start classes but the benefits don't end there. Every member of Patterson-Schwartz is an open book and available resource. I have taken advantage of every opportunity possible as I begin my career and feel so grateful that my agency provides so many opportunities to learn and grow. I feel light-years ahead of where I expected to be this early in my career.”
“The knowledge imparted during these sessions has been the backbone of this wonderful career I've just begun. The enthusiasm, patience and kindness with which every single instructor delivers the information is without equal. This career can be rather insular in nature, but the people I went through class with are a support system and source of continued learning. So with Patterson-Schwartz, you get 1) top-notch managers and colleagues in the office to support you and answer questions; 2) the leadership team and thorough materials of Successful Start; and 3) the group of people you bond with in class become a source of ongoing mentorship, regardless of which office everyone lands in. Well done, PSRE, well done!”
“Patterson-Schwartz takes the onboarding of new agents seriously - and in a fun way! Their Successful Start program is the reason I chose Patterson-Schwartz as my brokerage. Their dedicated team of professionals and the network of associates they rely on hold themselves to a high standard of excellence. If a brand new agent is considering which brokerage to choose, I'd encourage them to take a look at the Patterson-Schwartz Successful Start program and compare it to what other brokerages are doing to onboard their new agents.”
“The training, support, and guidance was first-class. I am off and running and I owe a BIG thanks to the Successful Start team.”
“I can't say enough good things about Successful Start! As a new agent coming out of pre-licensing, most of us have a sense that you are on your own and it's time to fend for yourself. Choosing to participate in Successful Start was the best decision ever! The amount of support offered to us by the whole organization: writing our bios, professional head-shots, meeting all the pros we would be working with in the near future, touring offices and homes on the market, teaching us how to write contracts and preparing us for listing appointments, and bringing in senior agents to share keys to success. This class gave me a ton of confidence and tools to get me started in the business. Having spoken to former classmates who joined other brokerages with promises of getting them started, there is no doubt in my mind our Successful Start program goes above and beyond what anyone else has to offer. While starting is slow as a new agent, I find myself leaps and bounds ahead of others due to my opportunity to participate in this program. As a result, I find myself endorsing this program on a regular basis to all agents!”
“I’m really glad that I had the opportunity to join Successful Start program. I found it to be very insightful. It was extremely worth while and actually tied lots of the previous stuff together. The material provided was delivered with an extraordinary high level of passion and enthusiasm. It was very professional, knowledgeable and communicative.”
“PSA has a great balance of support versus freedom. Brokers and managers are always more than happy to help and I have experienced that same attitude with my fellow agents as well. One key grants me access to all of the offices which is great for a contractor like myself that is always on the road and in different parts of the county. The initial training and on-going training are top notch. This company is jam packed with awesome people that love to help and love to succeed. ”
“Due to their excellent reputation, I knew Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate was where I wanted to be long before I even began pre-licensing class; however, it wasn't until I joined PSA and started their Successful Start class that I understood the why behind the reputation. PSA makes a strong investment in new agents so we are well prepared to start our business properly and begin our real estate careers as true professionals. The Successful Start sessions were interesting, informative, and all pertained to exactly what we should be doing as new agents. I feel confident starting my new career and I know that if I have any questions or concerns, my PSA family is right with me, ready to help me succeed!”

They brought in mortgage companies, law offices, home inspectors and fellow agents who have been in the business to share their stories. I truly feel I joined a family business that gives endless support.

“I have been working at Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate for well over thirty years. During that time, there have been many changes to our local employment base, as well as several periods of economic slowdowns. However, one of the things that has not changed is the commitment of Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate to provide the best possible service to our clients and customers. If you do that through good times and bad, the company and its agents will thrive. The local ownership, their daily involvement in the business, the easy access to them make our company seem very much like a family-run business instead of the largest real estate company in our marketplace. In addition, the tools available to us as agents, whether it be continuing education, technology support, a great marketing department, a supportive management team, or brand awareness, are second to none; all combine to make Patterson-Schwartz a great place to work.”
“Joining the Patterson-Schwartz team was the best decision I have made in my real estate career. Their technology is top of the line. The management support is the best around, not only with their agents and staff, but also with their clients. They continually show their agents support as well as their community spirit and support. The connection between agents is a partnership like none other. I always know there is someone to help me if I need it. It is an awesome company to work for.”
“I love Patterson-Schwartz! It's a wonderful company that offers so much to the community from charity drives, sponsorships, etc., as well as expertise in real estate. I believe the services I'm able to offer my clients are extremely important because I want to give them the best. Patterson-Schwartz is a company that constantly reinvents itself & has a staff that looks for more ways to not only better serve the consumer, but the agents as well. For instance, the system that is in place for Realtors® to service the consumer gives us the ability to do everything from email blasting listing information to hundreds of agents at once or flier creating, to providing our clients with weekly marketing reports, customized searches & more! The consumer is also able to use the very user-friendly Patterson-Schwartz website, which unlike a lot of others, is consistently updated with current information. As a Realtor®, I rely a lot on my name & reputation. However, I must say, there are times when the customer is not familiar with me/my work, but knows the reputation of Patterson-Schwartz... and they instantly know they're in great hands! With trust being very important to me, that means a lot. Lastly, Patterson-Schwartz has a family atmosphere that unfortunately, is not too common anymore. From other Realtors® to the company CEO, you know there are people who cheer you on & genuinely care. It's easy to understand why Patterson-Schwartz has been voted #1 Top Workplace on more than one occasion - and I'm extremely proud to be a part of it.”
“As a Real Estate Agent for over 20+ years and previously worked for National Real Estate Companies, I am delighted to say Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate is the Best in Professionalism, Technology, Training, Personal Contact, and Marketing. Marketing thru internet, local advertising, and recognition I have grown my business!”
“I chose to work for Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate because of their long standing reputation and the training program they offer to their agents. Their commitment to remaining a local community brand while still offering the highest level of service makes Patterson-Schwartz a unique company. Our management team is available, responsive, and knowledgeable, reflecting the qualities that my clients expect of me as their real estate agent. ”
“I have been a member of the Patterson-Schwartz real estate team for 10 years now. This is truly a family/team company. The support you get from Joe, the President, to the managers, to the administrative team and all the specialty departments is second to none. Everyday I come to work I am surrounded by the "best of the best". We are all willing to share, learn from each other and help each other when needed. It's no wonder PSA is the top real estate company. I look forward to being a member of this family for many more years.”
“I made the move to Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate in July of this year. I had been looking for a few months to move to a broker with a local office in the Bethany Beach area. When I saw that PSRE had recently opened an office, I contacted them immediately and knew from the very first meeting this was the right choice for me. The support I receive from my broker and everyone at the PSRE offices has been overwhelming! Our administrative, technical, and marketing support is over the top! A huge benefit to my listing clients as well! PSRE provides me with the tools, documents, and education I need to fully assist my sellers and buyers. I look forward to many years growing my business with this wonderful group of people by my side!”

“There's a reason Patterson-Schwartz has been named a top workplace in Delaware year after year. The company's culture is where it all starts - they provide us with the tools that are needed to succeed in this industry. Their endless belief of having the best agents in the area by providing complementary education through CE courses and David Knox training videos. Our office and marketing staff, IT support, managers, and our CEO are second to none and continue to encourage cooperation throughout the company, which I believe has created the best agents in our market and it's a honor to work with each and everyone of them.”

The amount of support and training that I received has been great. It is like one big family. They have helped me grow my business from the ground up and continue to support me every step of the way.”
“Patterson-Schwartz is a top notch company that provides endless support while offering innovative training, valuable marketing and cutting edge technology that truly sets our Agents apart. I feel encouraged by my associates and appreciated by upper management on a daily basis.

“I cannot say enough good things about Patterson-Schwartz. When I was considering which real estate company to join, I looked at multiple factors-the amount of support for a new agent, the availability of training, the accessibility to managers and the overall feel/vibe of the company. I could not have made a better choice!! Patterson Schwartz offers training every step of the way, and an extensive training program for new agents. I have gained so much hands on knowledge that immediately gets put into use. The CEO of the company knows everyone by name and sets the tone for a welcoming, motivating family atmosphere. Agents support each other and the administrative staff is simply the best. The managers are responsive and I have not ever felt that I couldn't approach them with a question, no matter how minor. Changing professions to start this adventure was a big leap for me, and Patterson Schwartz has made the transition seamless and easy. I am excited to get to work and thrilled to be a part of this firm! You can walk into any Patterson Schwartz office in the state, and know that you will be treated like family!”
“I was with Patterson-Schwartz for 36 years before I retired. There's no place I'd rather be. I am the Realtor® I am today because of the support and vision of Patterson-Schwartz. They have always thought outside the box and implemented cutting-edge programs to support the agents, which in turn benefit our clients. Besides being a great place to work, I consider Patterson-Schwartz my family and know they feel the same about their agents & staff... respect and care for each other.”
“My experience with Patterson-Schwartz has been great so far. They provide me with the tools to succeed and use to my advantage and grow my own business. One of the many aspects of being successful in my career is having a great support system to fall back on when times get tough. PSA is a company that lets you create your model without making their goals, your goals. The autonomy this company gives you is unparalleled to other firms. When people have the freedom to make their own decisions and run their own business, they can be held accountable. I am looking forward to the future with PSA at my side.”
“Patterson-Schwartz offers education and experience unbeatable to any other broker in Delaware. The structured successful start program run by Juli Giles gives you the knowledge and skills to jump right into the business with confidence. Questions are always incouraged around the office by all agents not just the "newbies". Knowledge is power which is why Patterson-Schwartz is the leading real estate company in New Castle county.”
“Before becoming a Realtor®, I worked in retail banking for just over 15 years. During my career I worked with amazing people who made it their business to ensure that I was being developed to achieve my full potential. An environment where people share their knowledge, rather than withhold it, fosters both growth and opportunity. This is why I chose to work with Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate. I felt that this company was genuinely committed to my success since day one. My peers have never neglected to help when its been needed nor have they ever given the impression that I didn't matter. Regardless of which office you work out of, this is a family. I frequent several other offices besides my own, and the experience is always the same. Smiling faces happy to see me. This is what our clients also see. I've prided myself on the level of service I provide to my clients and always have. Therefore, as a customer myself, I expect to receive the same quality service from companies that I choose to work with. Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate is a name synonymous with QUALITY and SERVICE. I'm proud to represent this company and everyone associated with it.”

“The Successful Start program is top notch. The various topics and scenarios that are discussed help you when the time comes that you are on your own. From how to hold a successful open house, prepare a proper CMA, house tours that help expand knowledge on the housing market/pricing and role playing which might sound silly but helped immensely. Once the program is over, there is still follow up in addition to the great management support! They never mind helping you! The decision to become a Patterson-Schwartz agent was the best decision I could have made!”
“Affiliating with the Patterson-Schwartz organization and culture you are simply not just being added to a company's roster. Being a PSA agent makes us not just part of a branch office but part of the Patterson-Schwartz family! There is a infrastructure in place to support their agents with Technology, Marketing and Websites, along with making it simple to create CMA's, Email Blasts, MLS updates, Market updates, Quarterly Market Analysis, and offers agents the opportunity for in house continuing education classes. The company encourages their agents to utilize the support and staff to help build your business. What other broker out there would have the Senior V.P. Of Business Development and Corporate Strategy come out to your branch office on a Friday on her way home and work with Terry and I for over 2 hours! We were impressed!”
