Pat has been originating mortgages at Thompson Kane since 2012, and in the mortgage business for more than twenty years before that. What's kept him in it that long is honestly the same thing his clients keep writing reviews about: the moment a buyer realizes the house is theirs. First home, fifth home, the cabin up north, the place near the grandkids. Pat's team has helped shape the financing behind thousands of those moments.

His specialty is making financed offers compete with cash. In tight markets where buyers keep getting outbid, that one tool has won more dream homes for Pat's clients than anything else in his toolkit. Pair it with a real estate agent who knows how to use it, and an offer that should have been a long shot becomes the accepted one.

Pat answers his phone. He answers it on Saturdays, on weeknights after the kids are in bed, on the rare Sunday afternoon a buyer stumbles onto the right house and can't wait until Monday. First-time buyers, the ones with the longest list of nervous questions, tend to leave reviews that thank him for never making them feel like they were asking too much. Many of his clients come back for their next home. More of them are referrals from the last one.

Pat holds a Bachelor and Master of Science from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. When he isn't working, he's walking his dogs, getting a round of golf in, or somewhere with family and friends.
