I meet Kate and Patrick at Bear & Joey Cafe to sip on oat-milk coffee drinks and chat life, style and what it is that makes this brother-and-sister team tick. While they both thrive on the connections they make with people through the process of real estate, Kate loves the interior design side of itB次元官网网址攕eeing the potential in homesB次元官网网址攁nd Patrick finds the satisfaction of receiving positive feedback from happy clients really pumps his tires.
Recognizing the benefits of working as a team, I ask how they complement each other.
B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e both social and we like connecting with people,B次元官网网址� says Patrick, B次元官网网址渂ut Kate is more of a big picture, creative, outside-the-box thinker than I am.B次元官网网址�
And according to them both, Patrick excels at the necessary details of the business, making sure the iB次元官网网址檚 are dotted and the tB次元官网网址檚 are crossed.
Kate and Patrick grew up together and itB次元官网网址檚 pretty evident thereB次元官网网址檚 a lot of laughter and the kind of inside-joke fun that only siblings can share. But itB次元官网网址檚 also clear there is a lot of mutual care and support as they talk about the life lessons they have both learned.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e really stopped comparing myself to other people and feeling the need to be doing more and more,B次元官网网址� Kate says. B次元官网网址淭he best lesson has been to slow down. The reality is I have two kids and IB次元官网网址檓 doing really well for where IB次元官网网址檓 at. We will grow our business and thereB次元官网网址檚 time for that, but there is also time to enjoy where we are at now.B次元官网网址�
When it comes to style, Patrick likes to always wear at least one dressy element, and he believes fit is also important. For Kate, itB次元官网网址檚 all about comfort and trends, and she laughs, saying, B次元官网网址淚 am very much a B次元官网网址榮creenshoot Instagram outfits and try to recreate themB次元官网网址� person.B次元官网网址�
