An entrepreneur at heart, Patrick Lafferty has always loved building businesses that solve problems and create value for clients. With an undiscovered but long-standing affection for real estate, Patrick got licensed with his wife Marcia in 2006, with intrigue for investing, while he continued to run a boutique web design company he co-founded years earlier. In the summer of 2008, while the real estate was crashing and with a baby on the way, Patrick and his wife decide to embark on a new career in real estate. With a passion for design and love for technology, Modern Living Real Estate was birthed, a boutique West Palm Beach-based real estate brokerage focused on the luxury condo and historic home market. Patrick built a brokerage and his personal business at the same time from the ground up, focusing on internet marketing and a high level of service. After 10 years of building the business with an eye always on the future of real estate, Patrick decided that his brand aligned so well with Compass’s “high tech, high touch” approach, he decided to become a founding agent for Palm Beach County.
Believing that technology should enhance but not complicate the process, he provides his clients a smooth and memorable experience through what can be one of life’s most stressful transactions. He believes in building relationships, possessing razor-sharp knowledge of inventory, and giving clients a “wow” level of service. After negotiating thousands of deals, Patrick knows how to negotiate to get his buyers the best deal, or his seller their price. For many years, Patrick has consistently been a top producer in Downtown West Palm Beach and a leader in the community. With a deep passion for people, Patrick loves to support the local community initiatives, small businesses, and his local Church. On the weekend, you will find Patrick & Marcia enjoying the city they love; whether at the local green market, boating, or enjoying a delicious meal at a “foodie” restaurant locally. When they can get away, Patrick and his family love to travel to the mountains or a lakeside getaway, always enjoying a great cup of coffee and finding new restaurants in each city along the way.

SOLDPatrick and Kaylyn sold my 1953 SoSo mid-century ranch home in under 24 hours. They both listened, advised, and patiently took me through the steps. Great communication. I can't recommend them enough.
Patrick and his team were amazing to deal with. The purchase of our new home went very smoothly. Negotiations were done with precision; Patrick's expertise came through from the beginning to the end. Kaylyn kept us, the seller's agent and both attorneys on track for a quick, easy close. We are going to recommend this team to everyone who wants a highly professional group to help with buying or selling a home.
Patrick and Emily were great to work with...efficient and effective with great advice and communication skills. Patrick's negotiating skills are impressive and resulted in a wonderful sale and experience!
Patrick Lafferty represented me alongside Seth Koretzky for a transaction that required a lot of moving parts. Patrick handled the logistics for me with grace and was transparent with me throughout the whole process. I felt that he understood my needs especially going through a divorce. I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick as a real estate agent. I would hire him again. He was extremely professional, upbeat and knowledgeable. Thank you Patrick and Seth.
Great team and Patrick is A1 always.
We stumbled upon Patrick and Modern Living while searching endlessly in Zillow, and what a lucky stumble it turned out to be! Right from the start Patrick got to know us, listened to what we really wanted, what was a wish verses a need. He knows the area so well he was able to find exacltly what we were looking for - with the wish list included! And, thankfully his help didn't end there because a lot has changed over the years in the home buying process. Patrick is always available and always returns calls & texts and this is something I value highly. They say that buying a home is one of the most stressful of life's experiences. Make your life easier and give Patrick and Modern Living a call.

There are many reasons why I had a successful partnership with Modern Living:1. When I contacted Patrick, he got to know me and what I'm looking for. He showed me the place I said I was interested in, but he also spent hours finding other apartments that I wasn't even aware were on the market. He listened to my feedback on each apartment he showed me and further refined the next selections to help me find my dream apartment.2. Patrick and the other brokers in his office KNOW the market, cold. They know every building, the strengths and weaknesses of each community, the demographics, and most importantly, the amenities. They work for you by asking for additional upgrades and benefits when negotiating contracts... sweetening the deal in your favor where possible!!Highly recommend this company if you are looking to buy in downtown WPB. I am beyond thrilled with my new penthouse apartment, and enthusiastically encourage anyone to contact Patrick and Modern Living RE if you're looking to buy your dream home at the best price possible.
