Ratings Reviews

"Pat is an amazing real estate professional! She has been my realtor for many years. I sold and bought my recent home during COVID times and she guided me through the difficult time and process with her deep knowledge of New Jersey and real estate! She was always there with the perfect advice and care, especially when I was ready to throw in the towel after being rejected on multiple bids during COVID. Pat Plante is an outstanding realtor - I highly recommend her."

I've bought and sold a number of houses with Pat and each experience was delightful. She knows her markets, and when we were ready to buy this last time she led us to some great options -- once when we found 'the one' she helped us to make it a reality. With Pat's support before, during and after the sale everything went as smooth as silk. I'd never consider using anyone else!! and you shouldn't either. Call her.

If I could give Pat Plante a 100 star review I would. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude to Pat for her assistance in selling my home. This process took several years due to personal issues I had to take my home off the market initially. She said, just call me when you are ready and I am here for you, and boy she sure was!! Needed recommendations for contractors, advice on colors, needed staging help. Pat did it all with grace and a level or professionalism that lacks in today's society (in my opinion). Forget all those commercials for other realtors. You want the best.......... Call Pat Plante!!

"Working with Patricia (Pat) was fantastic!! Her knowledge is the best in the industry and her patience is fantastic!. She has great ability in truly understanding what her clients are looking for within the inventory of homes that she brings to her clients is truly awesome!. I will always recommend Patricia Plante to any perspective homeowner shopping for a home in North Jersey. She can pull together a great team of supporters to make it happen for you!! Thanks Pat!!!!"

Pat was very patient with us as we worked our way through the decision to sell our house, then was there every step of the way as we readied the house for sale, then put it up for sale and went through closing. Her advice on everything from plumbers to where to contribute old clothes as we cleaned out the closets was always right on the money. She is like an encyclopedia on information for anything that comes up. Within a few days of listing the house, we had two offers and quickly struck a deal. Everything went so smoothly. Pat was there for us through the whole process, always ready with the information we needed. We can't imagine how we would have done it all without Pat's help and advice. She made it as painless as it could be. We can't thank her enough.

Pat assisted me in selling my home while I was married. Today, I finally own a condo. She negotiated the pricing deal and talked to the agents involved, my attorney and provided with services that will help me move to my new home.

zuser20150320173628692 My husband and I were in a tough position with two months to find a home or rent while finding our first home. Pat was patient, warm, always responsive, and highly efficient throughout the whole process. Plus with complete confidence she helped us find our beautiful home in less than a month. Today, we closed as a first time buyer in less than 6 weeks. We could have not done this without Pat's support throughout the whole process from start to close. Anyone looking for a realtor, but more importantly, looking for a genuine caring individual that has your family's interest as her priority needs to give Pat a call. Thank you Pat for helping us find our family's home

Good Afternoon ,

Dion and I would like to thank all of you for the assistance, support in buying our house in Bloomfield, NJ. We both felt like we had our own “A” team for the entire process. 😊 A great team. It is now for Dion and I to make the house a home and we could not be in the position to do so without all of you!

Thanks again and we will promote your organizations to anyone looking for a home in this area! 😊 Have a Great and Blessed weekend ahead.

I have known Pat for many years and she has always been my "go to" person. Always helpful, always ready with a referral, always willing to roll up her own sleeves, through home rentals, maintenance and sale, Pat has always been there, always patient, always calming, never pushy or self-interested. The greatest testimony I can give is that I volunteered to pay full boat on the real estate commission because she is worth every penny and more. The measure of a great realtor is not when things go well or as expected; It is when they don't. There was an escrow SNAFU at the end of the sales process. Pat stayed on it, wrangling the attorneys and keeping me in the loop while it was resolved. It should be said that she had already been paid! That is the kind of realtor to have on your side.Less

Pat was very knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to work with her. She sold our home, and she knew exactly where to price the house and got us the best value. Pat was very friendly and patient and walked us through the process from beginning to end. She made herself available anytime to answer questions, and she made great recommendations of people to use from lawyers, to people to help clean the house, to movers. We would recommend Pat very highlyLess

Buying and selling a home is one of the most important decisions you will make, and probably one of the most daunting. When I needed to sell my home, Pat was there to help me throughout the entire process. No detail was overlooked. Her knowledge of the market, her passion for her work and her caring for her clients made selling my home effortless. Thank you Pat.Less

Before listing our home, my wife and I researched within our community, houses that were listed. First of all, the primary broker was Caldwell Banker of Westfield. Secondly, we asked residents who was the real estate professional used. Pat Plante was the most highly regarded within our community. We were not disappointed. Pat is professional, patient, thorough, experienced and has a great sense of humor. Pat listed the house at the correct price. We sold within 5 days of listing at a fair price. Thank you Pat, the Silber-Van Ness familyLess

"We have dubbed Pat the wedding planner of realtors. Armed with a thorough market analysis, Pat advised us on preparing our home for listing, and we had several offers after only a few days on the market. But we encountered several unexpected issues during the process of selling our home. However, each time we felt we hit a dead end, Pat calmed us down and turned to one of her peoplerd to find an answer and get us through. From stager to painters to electricians and other contractors, Pat knew exactly whom to contact. She also was very familiar with the local officials. And on top of that a fun person, too! We've been singing her praises to anyone who will listen, and are happy to highly recommend her here as well."

My family had simply an incredible experience with Pat. We had a home on the market for more than a year and once Pat took the listing within one month the home was in contract. Her care and attention to detail are second to none and would recommend Pat to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Pat was extremely helpful throughout the process. She was very sensitive to the fact that this was an estate sale and was, as such, difficult at times for the family. We always felt like she had our best interests at heart. I would highly recommend her!

Pat Plante is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is professional and knowledgeable and gets the job done. I had a great experience working with Pat. She was responsive to all of my requests and questions, and she knew everything that was needed to know about the process of buying a home.

We found a home in early Nov 2019, started process in late November and closed on home 2 days after the New Year of 2020 (less than 3 Months from start to finish). We were eager to find a good home, yet we did not intend to rush. And while this process may have seemed rushed, I attribute this smooth home purchase as a result of the AMAZING realtor we had Pat Dinsmore Plante from Coldwell Banker Realty. Pat is a local resident, she knows these towns through her own experience and commits to work alongside the buyer to find a good fit. You will come across many knowledgeable realtors, yet Pat will take the dedicated time to know you, find out who you are, and what your expectations are and supersede them. When we found our home, my husband and I knew it was the one and yet we still looked around elsewhere. Yet, Pat knew it was for us, and within days we moved forward. Pat Dinsmore Plante works with a team of professionals to make the process effortless. Reach her before making any decision, you will not be disappointed.
