What People Are Saying

Nobody knows Rhode Island better than Pat Cruz. Pat is an outstanding agent to work with. She is a skilled listener and negotiator, with very in-depth knowledge of the local market.

My husband and I met Pat at an open house back in March, immediately we realized her professionalism, engaging, friendly and honest persona.

She was extremely patient and generous with her time, we never felt pressure and always felt she had our back.

Finally after many months we found our dream home and Pat's negotiation abilities helped us to win.

We would highly recommend Pat to friends and family.

Sandra and Tom S

Sold in about a week: From our initial meeting to the closing my agent Pat Cruz went above and beyond. I realize that the housing market is hot right now but Pat was able to get me offers in under a week. This is due to her exceptional marketing skills which included staging, lighting, professional photography, and crafting the listing so the property would sell for top dollar.

Aside from the marketing Pat is a process expert. She guided me through every step of the selling process and ensured that everything was in order so that the closing was successful without any surprises.

Pat will be my agent again for any future real estate transactions and I have already highly recommended her to close family and friends. Thanks Pat and the Williams and Stuart team!

Making the decision to sell our home was probably one of the most important lifetime decisions we’ve made. Hence, working with the right agent was going to be equally important. We knew beyond a doubt after speaking with other agencies then hearing her strategy, that this person would be Pat Paolino Cruz.

Pat was highly professional, knowledgeable and, demonstrated integrity and sensitivity to all of our needs. She not only made us feel like we are her most important priority, she applied her strategy and marketing skills to ensure we had our home prepared, staged, and professionally photographed, including aerial shots and floor plans before having it listed or shown. Our listing looked stunning online and off, producing an end result of being sold right away at above asking price!

Pat met our expectations above and beyond and we can’t recommend her highly enough!

I am in awe how amazing Pat Cruz guided me threw the stressful process of selling my home. Her honesty and professionalism was the reason I went with Williams &Stuart Real Estate.

In a week she got a great offer!! She went above and beyond to answer my questions on her phone day or night.

I highly recommend to anyone to use this company and make sure you ask for Pat Cruz."

Pat was great in listening to all my needs and interests, very patient with me and never pushy.

I’ll always remember what she said! I’m not selling you a house, we are looking for a home! That made me feel very comfortable.

That being said, she was awesome and will recommend her to anyone that is in the market to buy or sell their home.

Pat Paolino Cruz is a very energetic representative. I was interested in purchasing a house rather than renting. She got me a viewing of a property I was interested in and set me up with both a very experienced, knowledgeable mortgage broker and a moving company.

I went from being nearly homeless to a homeowner in about one month! I highly recommend Pat Paolino Cruz for anyone considering purchasing a home.

Robert D

We worked with Pat Cruz to sell our house in Warwick RI. She was great to work with. Once listed, the house sold in 4 days. She helped us with pricing, presentation, and worked with us all the way through the closing.

I could not have asked for a better agent to work with us.

Jim C

Pat Cruz is amazing!

She helped me during a very difficult time to sell my dad's home.

She is the most professional, kind, courteous and caring individual.

I honestly can't imagine having done this with anyone else!
