Patricia Doerseln
Client Intake Paralegal
Having lived in many different states, Patricia finds North Carolina to be particularly pleasing with its variety of offerings. While hiking, she is in awe of the abundance of wildlife, waterfalls, and mountains. A friend and “garden angel” has inspired her to attempt and enjoy gardening, despite challenges due to the crazy weather and her brown thumb. Indoors, she loves great food, so she experiments with cooking while being a slave to her cats and parrots. She loves the arts and will occasionally indulge in the local shops and playhouses.
Real estate is in her blood. She enjoys it immensely and has worked in different capacities over the years.
