About me

I’m Patience Bates, a loan originator based in Medina, Ohio, with 29 years of experience helping clients achieve their homeownership goals. Whether you’re buying your first home, an investment property, or a vacation home, my mission is to provide clear guidance, honest advice, and a five-star experience.

I pride myself on listening, problem-solving, and attention to detail, ensuring every client is in the best position to purchase a home—without judgment. Since 1996, I’ve been committed to delivering exceptional service and support.

I’ve lived in Brunswick for 20 years with my husband and two sons. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, cooking, staying active with my Peloton community, and cheering on my favorite sports teams.
