Troy Patterson

Samba on the Horizon

Troy is a virtual native of DC—having lived there now since 1987—but he actually hails from the mountain town of Lenoir, North Carolina. Non-profit work is a family tradition for Troy, so it is no surprise that he began there, too, after graduating from the University of North Carolina. As part of that work, Troy raised funds for an exhibit on affordable housing while with the National Building Museum. You could say it was this—as well as his work with top builders at the National Housing Endowment and the National Association of Homebuilders—that inspired him to enter the world of real estate.

In some alternate universe, Troy is a motivational speaker, and begins his keynotes with: “Don’t ever pay rent!” He takes great satisfaction in helping his clients find the homes of their dreams, and to starting, or continuing, them on their paths toward financial wealth. Having served in the military, he also understands the impact of sudden relocations and the unique needs that accompany such a move. He takes pride in going above and beyond for his clients to help them achieve their real estate goals.

Troy also takes great pride in his dancing, of which the Salsa and Merengue figure prominently. Don’t ask him to Samba quite yet—learning that remains on his wanna-do list. Troy also loves to travel, and desires a permanent vacation to somewhere like Brazil or the Dominican Republic in retirement some day.
