Patrick is the best of the best! Being a first time home buyer, I had very little knowledge about the process and how to find the right house. Upon my first meeting with Patrick, I instantly knew he was a realtor I could trust. Driven by market data, his wealth of industry experience, and passion for real estate, Patrick gave me the best home buying experience I could ask for. From start to finish he was extremely responsive in answering any questions I had and took the time to educate me, making sure I was confident with every decision along the way. I highly recommend Patrick and his team! I never felt that he was trying to sell me a house, but that he was a mentor to guide me in making the best decision for my future. Patrick goes above and beyond for his clients and anyone would be lucky to have him on their side. read more

Patrick helped us purchase a home, and he was great! As first time home buyers, we were not all that familiar with all the logistics of the purchase process but Patrick was there to walk us through everything. He provided great advice, whether it was about particular neighborhoods; San Diego real estate; comparisons with similar properties; or how to work with the lenders, he always offered his advice in a very objective and helpful manner backed up with data and statistics. He made himself available to us at all times. We constantly called, texted and emailed questions and concerns about homes, lenders and would receive his feedback very quickly. We would definitely recommend Patrick. read more

I first met Patrick at his educational meetup and decided to work with him. I was very impressed by his data and fact-driven presentations and 3 transactions later, still happy. I am a seasoned investor but as a Scientist, I do not enjoy being involved in the human aspects of real estate. Patrick is the first realtor who really takes care of my buying and selling like it is his own, and backs up every advice with solid experience and facts. He is also the only realtor I have met with advanced education in business and real estate, but is able to communicate and negotiate with sellers in all kinds of emotional state or situation. Whether I use other providers referred by him or not, he is always professional, patient, and collaborative. I highly recommend this realtor. read more

Patrick Kappel - Compass - Very happy with this home Patrick helped me purchase. Seller lived there for 30 years and I remodeled. - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Diego, California

Having worked with Patrick during our time in the Navy, there was no question I wanted to work with him when I decided to buy a home. I haven't purchased yet, but Patrick and his team have been very supportive, informative, and patient with me especially given my level of caution and indecisiveness on the subject. The team brings in all new clients and provides a review of the current market as well as education for those who are new to the buying or selling process. I am very much looking forward to continuing to work with Patrick and his team and find my way into my first home and real estate investment! read more

We used Patrick and Sherry to sell our mothers home in Point Loma and could not have been more happy with the entire experience. I interviewed several very nice realtors before deciding to go with Patrick and Sherry. The reason I decided to go with them over the others was that they had an impressive comprehensive plan for selling my mother in-laws home. Their expertise in marketing from prep to finish and their strong negotiating skills yielded us a price far higher than expected and in record time. They are honest, straightforward and were a joy to work with. I highly recommend this team! read more

Patrick is a true professional which is clearly shown in his passion and commitment to his clients. Working with Patrick, my family and I received constant updates, unmeasurable advice, and thorough pre-planning. I will never use another realtor and only recommend him to my friends and family read more

Patrick is the absolute best. He's knowledgeable, responsive, and resourceful. He knows the San Diego housing market, economy, and demographics and opening shares his knowledge to the community via meetups, which is how I met him. Morning, afternoon, or evenings, he makes sure I am taken care of, and responds via email, text, or phone to ensure I know whats going and get the deal done. We've done two deals to date, and hopefully do many more in the future. He knows a broad range of people, from contractors to inspectors, to handyman to investors, he's connected me with others in the business, helping start my real estate investment journey. I highly recommend Patrick Kappel for first time home buyers or seasoned veterans. read more

Patrick is one of the most knowledgable realtors that I know. I have extensive experience working with agents and would prefer Patrick to most others. Great guy and great agent!!! read more

I strongly recommend Patrick to family, friends, and ANYONE looking for a fantastic agent / mentor to work alongside. Patrick has taken my team and I from our first property to a medium portfolio. Every step of the way, he's been an amazing resource in a) finding great deals and offering honest perspective on its investment value, and b) every other aspect of scaling our business. He's fast-moving, responsive, kind, and deeply knowledgeable. If you're serious about getting into real estate, I cannot recommend Patrick and team enough! read more

Patrick and his team are miracle workers. My Dad's house had languished on the market for over a year before we asked Patrick to help us sell his house. It was a nice house, but out in the Boondocks and we had had exactly zero signs of interest in the year prior. Patrick agreed to help, and within a week had applied his marketing genius, highlighted the house's many features, and had multiple interested parties drive all the way out to see this house. We got an offer days after he relisted it, but the buyer underbid our fair market value, and despite my family's near desperation to sell, Patrick advised us to wait for a better offer. We did, and within a week we were in escrow with the ultimate buyer at our asking price! Patrick's real estate savvy, dedicated professionalism and endless dedication to helping his clients made selling my Dad's house seem easy after we'd struggled for a year with other agents. My whole family is thankful for Patrick and his team and none of us will ever try with any other realtor again. read more

I was in a very tricky situation where I wanted to do a 1031 exchange in California. I currently live in Oregon and due to the distance it was very difficult for me to manage the logistics. Honestly, I did not know where to start. With time ticking I was left with 2 weeks to buy a house. I saw Patrick's facebook posts that mentions his expertise in 1031 exchanges. I called, never thinking anything would happen because of the time limit. From the second we spoke, Patrick was on it. I have never worked with such a dedicated, knowledgeable, efficient person in any field, period. We found a home, looked at it, placed an offer, had it accepted, and got preapproved in less than two weeks! Now I don't get impressed easily but I have never met anyone more hardworking than Patrick. He is simply amazing and I will never use anyone else for my home buying needs. He is also former military which is a huge plus for us! read more

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Patrick . We were first-time homebuyers and newly married, looking for a place we could settle down in and raise a family. We met with a couple of realtors before Patrick, including those listed on Redfin, but we knew instantly that Patrick was the right one for us. He is honest and hands-on, even gave us a class lesson on the real estate market, and he really helped to take the pressure off of us. We have several friends looking for homes and thinking about selling, and we always recommend Patrick to them! read more

Patrick is extremely educated in Real Estate and he displays his passion in his classes. I take his classes through our local SDREIN group and I complete each course having gained a wealth of knowledge....backed by clearly presented data. He's a great instructor and was able to keep my attention for 2 hours while presenting brand new subject matter that was new to me. I can lose focus easily but he kept my attention. He's been in the business for a while and he shares his success stories and what I took to achieve his goals. I'm grateful that he's giving back by sharing his valuable knowledge. I highly recommend connecting with him if you're in Real Estate Sales and/or Investing. read more

I was introduced to Patrick Kappel at a SD Impact webinar Masterclass and he just blew me away with his knowledge and experience about real estate. He was able to share amazing insights about the current market and ways that we can invest in real estate and find our forever HOME. If you are looking to buy or sell in the San Diego area I highly recommend working with Patrick and his team at Kappel Realty Group. Thanks Again! read more

Patrick and his team are as great as can be expected! Patrick helped us purchase our first home in 2018. It was the smoothest transactions I have ever experienced. He was knowledgeable about the market, he pointed out things that we did not think were important at the time, he explained every step and what to expect. I could not have asked for a more reliable and diligent realtor. I was super impressed. It was really evident that he cared about us and what we were spending on. He took his time to answer all our questions and spent a good amount of time with us looking at property. He even made our expedited 17 day escrow close without any issues (with even being out of state for the half of the process). He is reliable and continues to answer all our questions, even 2 years out of our first purchase. He made it a very memorable first time experience. He not only is great at what he does, but he is passionate about it and loves what he does, which shows when working with him! read more

I have known and worked with Patrick and his team for the past 3 years. In that time I have done multiple purchases to include, multi-family long term and short-term vacation rental investments. Patrick is the ultimate professional and one the most humble and friendly people that I have ever worked with. He is one of the most knowledgable realtors I know and a great teacher which is why I will continue to work with him in the future. I recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home or investment property. Thank you Patrick!!! read more

I can't say enough about how great Patrick and his team are. Before looking at a house, he educated me on the real estate market in San Diego and made sure we were on the same page as to what I was looking for and what would be the smartest investment for my future. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood the VA loan, my options, and helped me to negotiate a fantastic deal on my first home. Patrick still continues to be a helpful resource with any further questions I have long after closing. You can't go wrong with Patrick! read more

Patrick was referred to us from mutual friends and we couldn't be happier we had him in our corner to help us make our recent home purchase!! Patrick is former navy and as a military family ourselves we just clicked with him. He understands military life, and was beyond amazing helping us buy our home remotely. He was excellent at noticing details and being able to convey them to us. He treats his clients as he would treat his own family or a purchase he was doing for him and his wife. My husband flew down to see the house in person after we had our offer accepted and said that it was just as it looked on facetime. THANK YOU PATRICK! read more

I have known Patrick for over ten years going back to the Naval Academy so I was excited to work with someone I could trust when I was looking to move to San Diego. I was living in Florida at the time when I started my real estate search. Obviously living across the country was not an ideal situation but Patrick communicated with my wife and me regularly via video calls and toured properties with us on FaceTime. Besides showing properties and explaining the advantages of certain San Diego neighborhoods, Patrick has more financial acumen than any other real estate agent I know. Buying a house from across the country in a city that was new to me was stressful to say the least but with Patrick's help, my wife and I had confidence that we made the right decision. Through his own experience purchasing properties in San Diego, Patrick has connections with everyone from mortgage brokers to home inspectors to general handymen. I stayed in touch with Patrick months after the purchase of my house and he was very responsive and glad to help regardless that the deal was closed months ago. Should we decide to move, I will definitely be calling Patrick again. read more

A big thank you to Patrick Kappel. A few words to describe him and Mitch DiLorenzo is thorough, attentive, consistent and extremely knowledgeable! To those who have dealt with a Realtor in the past, you understand the importance of these traits. Unfortunately if you haven't dealt with these guys, you may not know what you were missing. The difference is like NO Other! A fortunate offer to attend a Meetup hosted by Patrick led to a life changing experience. The communication through the process of buying our duplex was incredible, his knowledge of zoning was priceless, the care, concern and attention to detail of his operation is impeccable. Save yourself, money and grief by considering their expertise. They are super generous with forwarding anything they could to help with renter contracts, contractors, etc, etc. We want you to have all of the information and advantages we had. They basically hold your hand to the very end and then even after. read more

My husband and I worked with Patrick and Natalie to purchase our first home. They were both fantastic to work with and would recommend them to anyone else looking for a property! Since our very first meeting to go over the process and what we were looking for and what to expect, they had a great grasp of what was important to us in finding a great place. Patrick is extremely knowledgeable in everything going on with real estate around the county, and knows all of the ins and outs of every neighborhood. They were very accommodating in working around our schedules to make sure we could every property we were interested in very quickly. I expected the closing process to be a bit overwhelming and cumbersome, but Patrick and Natalie and Yvette and everyone else behind the scenes helped everything move quickly and smoothly. They helped connect us with a great lender, great inspection company, and anything else we needed. Our first home buying experience was a very enjoyable experience, and we really appreciate everything the team did for us! read more

Admittedly, Patrick is an outstanding realtor and an expert in his field. For my wife and I, he was so much more... a COVID-19 expert, financial analyst, psychologist/life coach, military liaison and now friend. While trying to purchase a home in San Diego and living in Virginia during the COVID-19 pandemic, Patrick maintained the pulse on COVID-19 in San Diego. When unique obstacles presented themselves, Patrick quickly devised plans to overcome said obstacles. Since we were living on the East Coast, Patrick was able to adapt to our situation and he showed us more than a dozen houses via FaceTime, which gave us greater insight into those properties. Throughout the entire process, I always felt like Patrick had our best interests in mind, specifically with regards to real estate, investments and mental clarity! Patrick found us our dream home, helped us close and continued to go "above and beyond" after closing, while we were still in Virginia. For anyone in the military receiving orders to San Diego, or anyone looking for a property in San Diego, look no further than Patrick Kappel. read more
