PAT SIELSKI -REAL ESTATE CONSULTANT
We all take "The Realtor" photo. The last one was taken 10 years ago....I really need to get a new one done.
I got my Sales Associate License in 2013 and upped that to a Broker's License in 2018. I work as a Broker Associate for Future Home Realty specializing in Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota/Bradenton areas but still love the St Pete area
and have NO problem heading in that direction.
I lived in Illinois until I graduated from ISU with a degree in Economics. Then I moved to Northern California where I worked as an accountant, sound technician for television and corporate productions then as a law enforcement officer. I worked on the first 4 "Survivor" series and the DIY stuff like "Home Crashers", "Bath Crashers" etc.
If I can bike to a house I have under contract I will. I might even show up on two wheels to show you a home. It just depends on the weather! I live in Lakewood Ranch so I bike, golf, play pickleball and love to discover great wine!
In order to keep up with the changing world and changing markets of any business, you need a good education and you need to keep updating that. GRI is a weeks long, actually 3 separate courses, that help the foundation of all that is real estate from starting your business to thinking outside the box. I am committed to continuing to move and learn with the world, not stop and think I know it all.

RENE is the course to take to sharpen negotiation skills. I learned tips and tools to to help me be the best advocate for my customers and clients. The first time I took the class was in early 2016 here in Florida. I knew, as I took the class, how important it was and how much information there was to know and implement. I audited the class in late 2016 in Chicago to go over what I learned and to check out a different perspective. You will not see RENE in the signature of my emails. I want you to know I have the education. I don't need to let the person on the other side of the negotiation know it. Why give them the heads up?!
These and many other questions are asked and answered in this education session. So many people look to Zillow.com to get the value of their home. But it is just one valuation based on public records - DATA. When is the last time Zillow actually walked through your house with you to determine the value of it? A Realtor, and educated person with the tools to help you, needs to be your source.
We are all different and pretty similar all at the same time. While we all need shelter, what we need, want, like and dislike can be very different. I know what I want and am used to - what about you? I have this designation because of my ongoing education and curiosity to learn about different people, cultures, customs and perspectives.
In addition to all the Certifications and Designations I can acquire from various educational entities, I also go to meetings and seminars about subjects such as:
