About Lisa Patterson
Lisa Patterson lives in Darnestown Maryland, with husband Rob, and daughter Natty. Lisa has been one of the top agents in Montgomery County for over ten years, based in Coldwell Banker’s renowned Bethesda office (consistently one of the company’s top-producing residential real estate offices in the country).
Lisa enjoys entertaining friends, local dining and outdoor recreation, world travel (when possible), craft art, and spending time at home with her family.
Lisa is known for her integrity and professionalism, her friendly and enthusiastic style, her equally tough negotiating skills, her great knowledge of areas and neighborhoods, and her determination to do the job right, and to swift completion.
Committed, Available to her Clients, and Never Pushy
One of the most frequent criticisms about other real estate sales professionals locally is that they are overextended, and either unacceptably unavailable, or send assistants to do too much of their work. Also that they are impatient, and pushy. Lisa believes her clients are entitled to her own valuable expertise, not just her name on a yard sign. She insists on delivering the personal and dedicated service she promises, and refuses to overextend herself. Although she is aggressive on behalf of her clients when they are ready, Lisa is happy to let her people to move at a pace that is comfortable for them, and allow them to make decisions without added pressure from their agent.
Mongomery County, Darnestown’s Number1Expert

She has helped her clients buy and sell countless homes all over the area, and knows the towns, roads, and neighborhoods like few others. Lisa is America’s Number1Expert for Darnestown Maryland, and well-qualified for that distinction. Besides being one of the most successful local real estate professionals, she serves as Vice President of the very active Darnestown Civic Association, as well as Recording Secretary, and Social Chairman.

An Advocate for the Community
Lisa is very involved with representing the interests of the area at county meetings and hearings as well. You may think all real estate professionals are purely pro-development, but to Lisa, positive thoughtful growth, and building a strong “community,” are paramount. She advocates new development that benefits the region, and is involved with the planning of the new Darnestown town center development, but is also an active defender of the natural beauty, logical planning, and personal property rights, that make Montgomery county, and Darnestown especially, among the most wonderful places to live in the country. Most Darnestown residents love the natural beauty of Darnestown, which borders the county’s agricultural wedge. Lisa is a member and supporter of the C&O Canal Association, as well as local and national wildlife organizations. Her own property in Darnestown has been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Wildlife Habitat. Lisa helps organize the two largest community activities of the year – the annual Darnestown Spring Social, and the Fall Hoedown, which both draw sell-outs at Smokey Glen Farm.
Relocation Specialist
Lisa is licensed in Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia, and has relocated many people to the capital area. Relocating clients appreciate Lisa’s broader area knowledge and experience, her enthusiasm for acclimating people to their new homes, and the convenience of having one agent who is licensed in all three municipalities of the broader capital region. She is certified as a military relocation specialist, and has many happy references.
This is really about YOU
Having said all this, Lisa believes that the experience of buying or selling your home should really be about YOU, and YOUR HOME, not about her, and promoting her business. For that reason, and because most people in this area prefer more discreet representation, you should not expect to see Lisa’s picture on lawn signs and dominating advertisements. What you will see is results! Nearly all of Lisa’s business comes from client references, and she is very grateful for their wonderful loyalty. In return you’ll find Lisa to be unfailingly loyal to her clients, hard-working, and absolutely professional. She is looking forward to helping you.
