I contacted Patrick Duffy to work as a real estate economist and data journalist on some projects with The Motley Fool. He brought enthusiasm and a data-driven mindset to every project and created several research papers addressing some of the biggest questions in real estate. By combining multiple data sets and individual analysis he was able to deliver unique insights and augment them with easy to understand visuals. His knowledge of real estate’s larger trends together with his deep connections in the industry make him a very valuable resource.

I had the opportunity to hear and see Patrick give a presentation at a Community Associations Institute (CAI) CEO event for community association managers. He ran down the list of economic indicators and explained them all so that everybody could understand. His presentation was informative, friendly, and spot on. I was so inspired by his presentation that I wrote a blog about a subject that he brought up (inflation) for my blog. I believe that Patrick knows economics and is an added value to any business event where people want to hear serious and spot on information.

We hired Patrick to complete Market Studies for our 60-unit Hillcrest Project in Thousand Oaks. This project is complex with multiple populations and income levels but he handled the analysis with ease. This project is using State HOME funds which are notoriously stringent when evaluating Market Studies but with his help, we were able to get a perfect score on this part of our application. If you are looking for a thorough, responsive, and high-quality person and company to complete a Market Study we would definitely recommend Patrick and MetroIntelligence.

Patrick is a walking library of Real Estate knowledge. Since we starting working together on projects, he has helped to improve my perspective on changes in the residential and commercial markets, and how they relate to other segments of the economy. His economic knowledge extends beyond just real estate, giving him unique skills in the workplace. He’s an outstanding writer as well. I think anyone who works with Patrick will benefit as I have. I highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about contracting with him for his services! Brad Kemp, Director of Research, Beacon Economics
