About Patty

Patty has been a full time real estate agent on the historic North Shore of Boston since 2005. Prior to getting her real estate license, she had a successful career in golf course management specializing in championship course construction and maintenance. She "cut her teeth" at The Country Club in Brookline, MA, preparing for the 1988 U.S.Open and then went on to host three PGA Tour events at Westchester County Club, Rye, NY and the USGA Mid Amateur at Hazeltine National Golf Club, Chaska, MN. Since less then 1% of golf course superintendents are women, she was well known in the industry. Her 30 years of precise course work was good preparation for meeting the detail specific demands of the real estate world. Clients feel that her long and prosperous multi family investment history also give her the depth of knowledge necessary to offer prescient advice.

Still an avid agronomist, you'll often find Patty in her extensive flower and tomato gardens, at the hot yoga studio, or walking her dogs Spike and Kit at Ravenswood. In Nov. 2010 Patty completed her Hotcore Yoga Teacher Training.
