REALTOR for RE/MAX Urban in Downtown Dallas at 1001 Ross November 2006—present
After my contract with Antares was complete, I decided I should put my 25+ years of marketing and sales experience together with my love for real estate and offer these services to my own clients. A seller’s agent, among other things, is the one responsible for properly marketing the home - the better the marketing, the faster the sale. A Buyer's agent, among other things, is responsible for analyzing area sales data to ensure their clients are getting the best value. Real estate changes so quickly nowadays, you cannot just rely on what you know. You must be able to adapt to the rapid changes. Currently I'm with RE/MAX Urban. I worked with Coldwell Banker and The Michael Group previous to April 2009.

Various Titles for American Airlines, Inc. January 1983—April 1995
After graduating school, I left a rural Missouri town in January of 1983 and headed for Dallas. I spent the next 12 years working in various customer service and marketing positions for American Airlines at DFW International Airport.

Owner / COO for Digital Page, Inc. April 1995—May 2001
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 and planning division of the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Technical Services Consultant for FASTSIGNS International, Inc. May 2001—January 2005
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.

Co-Owner for Dallas Teks Group, LLC January 2005—November 2006
When my work with FASTSIGNS 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 work 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.

Claire Billingsley, Director of Training, FASTSIGNS International Mon Jun 2, 2008

"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. Mark A Wagner,Training Manager,BCD Travel"

Relocating to Dallas: need good areas to buy??

Asked Mon Dec 14 2009, 12:38 by Caldam27 - Home Buying in Dallas - 18 answers

Rich Patterson answered:

Hi Caldam27,

Jerry's right, you're going to get all kinds of answers in here. The reason is that we are the fourth largest metropolitan area (not by city) in the US, so we have quite the range of homes and prices.

Here's a document published by Republic Title that can help you sort through the mounds of data about our area schools:

http://www.republictitle.com/outbound/ResGuide/2009scores.pdf

You can see how each school ranks (by color) starting on page 5.

I hope this helps. If we can help you locate a home, just let me know.

Best Regards,

Rich
