About Patrick Rutledge
Personally Selling a Home Every 5.5 Days for the Past Decade!
I am a full-time professional Real Estate agent and team leader, supporting a team of 6 dedicated members. You won’t find anyone who will work harder or more professionally to get you the most for your money, the quickest sale with the fewest problems.
Today there is no substitute for consistency and experience. My team and I have assisted over 1,000 families move to their new home.
Specifically, we are able to assist sellers who are experiencing distress due to recent market trends resulting in a large proportion of short sales and potential foreclosures.
Short sales are overly abundant in today’s housing market! The Rutledge Home Team has negotiated over 100 short sales in the past 3 years. Presently, we are involved with 40 cases, with 3 to 5 resolved every month!
There are countless advantages of working with The Rutledge Home Team. We have built strong relationships with key resources involved in short selling homes. We work closely with financial institutions, appraisers, legal teams when necessary, contractors and many more to ensure success.
Another major benefit of working with us is our dedicated full-time staff specialists. We have had a number of years to practically understand and fine-tune this constantly changing short sale process. The Rutledge Home Team is familiar with the many roles involved. We have extensive experience with the meat of a short sale; the paper work, as well as the roles of the Seller, Broker’s Price Opinion (BPO), Buyer Agent, Title Company, repair contractors, etc.
We also work with Bankruptcy and Foreclosure liaisons’ in order to help facilitate this convoluted process.
The real estate market is GREATLY different today compared to the days of 2000-2005! If you are thinking of buying or selling today, we offer agency experience of homes sold in a variety of Real Estate markets.

My Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Rockville areas, please contact me.
