Testimonials

Patrick and Julie were an absolute delight to work with. After working with them to purchase and sell homes we were beyond satisfied at both the final result and the experience every step of the way. They remain accommodating while at the same time usher you seamlessly through the process, making you feel confident all along in how thing are progressing. My wife and I could tell immediately that we were in good hands with agents that have vast experience and cared deeply about maintaining a strong relationship with us, so as to never let us feel that our success was not their top priority. I cannot recommend Patrick and Julie more highly to anyone in need of competent, caring , and effective real estate agents.

Patrick is both caring and honest. He gets to know what you want and need and will guide you through difficult decisions. He and Julie are extremely knowledgeable about the area, they are very responsive to requests and questions, and they have a large network of people they work with that they can recommend. This is the second time I have worked with them and I cannot imagine working with anyone else.

Alejandra, Delmar

Patrick and Julie were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in the process of finding and purchasing our first home, and they are still helpful to us now, several months afterward. When we first met them, we liked them right away. They were friendly, professional, and clear in their explanations. We had a ton of questions and concerns throughout, and they always responded quickly and with thoughtful, honest answers. The sellers we wanted to purchase from were the most frustrating people, but Patrick and Julie made the experience manageable for us. We now live in a beautiful home thanks to them. If we ever decide to sell our house in the future, we know who to contact. We recommend them highly to anyone in need of a realtor.

Patrick and Julie have been great to work with. They navigated the sale of my condo very quickly and respectfully. I enjoyed working with them and everything was a very smooth process.

Kelly, Rensselaer

Patrick & Julie have been such an incredible asset during our first home buying experience. They were exceedingly patient through a nearly 2 year process, and we so appreciated both their professional knowledge, and their kindness and compassion. They were prompt in responding to every question or concern that we had. It was truly a pleasure having them on our team for this process!

If you want to work with realtors that have the highest level of integrity, humility, extensive knowledge of the entire real estate process and above all know that relationships and community matter then you should be working with Patrick and Julie. We started our process with them over 6 years ago. From day one, they truly got to know us and what was important to us in buying a home. They were so steadfast in guiding us and staying with us through life changes and market changes. They truly love what they do and worked so hard to ensure we found the right house for us! And they sold our property in record time so we could focus on buying. Patrick is the agent that will come to your house when you lock yourself out because you and your spouse forgot to communicate on who had a key and your spare key is sitting in the real estate lockbox. And he won’t even hold a grudge! Julie is the agent that knows your style so well she will keep showing you houses you love. And even ones she knows you may not love because it will help you further refine what you are seeking. They will console you when you lose out on a house to a cash buyer and they will let you know when you are about to offer way too much on a property (and one that probably has vermiculite) because you are panicked about another bidding war. They are steadfast, kind, knowledgeable and fun. Dan and I couldn’t have imagined going through this process without them and recommend them to anyone needing a realtor.

We were given the recommendation to reach out to Patrick and his wife, Julie, by a family friend who lives in the area. As first time homeowners, the entire process seemed like a rollercoaster full of excitement, anxiety, stress, anticipation and overwhelming joy. The emotions were also heightened due to the markets craziness in this pandemic. With that said, Patrick helped enormously to bring calm and comfort throughout the process. Patrick went above and beyond his responsibilities as a realtor and took on the role of a mentor from the first moment he sensed our uneasiness. Patrick was patient with us as we flip flopped between locations and smothered him with daily questions. Day or night it never took him more than a minute or two to respond to our messages or calls. Patrick proved to be an accessible, knowledgable partner from day one. Keeping our best interest in mind, he knew what to look for and ask about in every property we saw, while summarizing the information in a way that made sense and provided confidence. Patrick was prompt and detailed when relaying information to the sellers about every single contingency we brought up. I honestly don't know how he was able to give us (what felt like) his undivided attention from the first day we met until the day he handed us our keys. We have now been living here for more than a month and my wife and I are so incredibly happy. I don't plan on getting new property any time soon but when the day comes, I can guarantee that Patrick will be the first and only person I call. Unlike other reviews for restaurants or consumer products, this review is so much more important and took me more than a month to get on paper because I still feel as if I am in shock. This house is everything we hoped for and more and it is largely due to Patrick's phenomenal skills in what he does.

Patrick and Julie are amazing real estate agents. We were the first property they were selling during the pandemic and they were flexible and adaptable. My mom's condo sold in one day! It was very emotional for me because my mom had passed away and they were very supportive. They have an incredible amount of expertise, knowledge, and resources for every step of the process. I can't say enough about them!

Betsy, Slingerlands

We had two RE agents sell our home! Patrick and Julie worked great as a team each focusing on their strengths to do a fantastic job! Both can be blunt with the truth; that is exactly what we needed! While Dec-Jan is not the best time to sell… if we had waited, we would be trying to sell our home during the Coronavirus pandemic. We’re really happy we listened to them. When we found out we would not make it back to Albany, they took care of many things for us, beyond what we would have expected. Both are very caring, have loads of integrity and bring a broad experience of selling homes. When the water heater broke while we were away, we arranged for plumber and they went to our house to let the plumber in. We really can’t say enough good things about them.

The short review: Patrick and Julie are simply the best and they far exceeded any and all of my expectations for selling my house. I cannot say enough good things about McSharry and Associates. I found them on yelp because I now live far from the Albany area and was struggling to find a real estate agent. Upon my first call, Patrick answered a number of my questions and we scheduled a time to meet and see the house. Patrick and Julie had a whole presentation to go over with me at our first meeting. This included what I could expect working with them, the strategies and tools they use, their commitment to the community, and most importantly, their values. Integrity and a commitment to their clients were two values that they discussed during our first meeting and were present throughout the entire process. My house ended up getting an offer (above asking!) within a week of being on the market. I truly don't think this could have come together without their guidance and expertise. Patrick and Julie are wonderful, talented, committed people who I knew I could trust from the very beginning. They were always available if I had questions and were great at providing updates. They absolutely went above and beyond and made a stressful project smooth and successful. They even remembered my puppy's name from our first meeting!!!
