Patrick Doyle has made a name for himself in real estate with his work ethic and determination. As a REALTOR®, contractor, and business owner, Patrick uses his expertise and industry knowledge to provide his clients with a comprehensive and confident homebuying experience. “My clients are trusting me with the biggest purchase of their lives,” says Patrick, “and I owe them my very best.” 

Growing up in Lexington, Patrick enjoyed Fayette Country, which he describes as the “smallest big city in America.” He comments, “I liked the small-town vibe. It just so happens that there are 400,000 people who live here.” 

Raised by his mother and his sister, Patrick describes his childhood as a very blue-collar upbringing. “I didn’t want for much,” he comments, “but we didn’t have anything extra.” He feels fortunate and blessed to have an amazing family. 

His upbringing made him who he is today. He explains, “Growing up here molded me through the connections I made locally. It seems that word of mouth is more valuable in Central Kentucky and Lexington than anywhere else.” He has built his business, one satisfied client at a time through repeat and referral. 

Childhood Aspirations 

As a child, Patrick loved UK basketball and horse racing at Keeneland. An athlete growing up, Patrick loved sports and played basketball, football, and baseball in high school. He shares, “I wanted to be a teacher and a coach.”

He attended school and majored in Engineering before realizing that he didn’t want to sit in an office every day. His love for education and engineering blended together beautifully in real estate, coupled with his heart to serve others. He got his license in January 2021, helping others ever since. 

A Call to Serve 

“I do view a real estate transaction as an educational thing,” he says. Patrick caters to his clients, commenting, “My process doesn’t end when the deal closes. I’m set up to assist with home maintenance for the lifetime of owning a home.” Patrick, who also owns a construction company called PD Designs, has come to the rescue of his clients with his experience and expertise. 

 

“I try to go above and beyond to make sure that every client is not only legally protected but equipped to maintain their home,” he says. “I have 10-12 transactions where we buy the house while the house is under contract. We do the design phase and get the blueprints drawn and get the renderings done. When the house closes, we gut it and renovate it, and piece it back together.”

Patrick's journey into real estate was preceded by his success in the construction industry. In 2016, he started PD Designs, which initially focused on smaller projects like bathrooms and master bedrooms. Over the years, it evolved into handling large-scale guts and renovations, commercial fit-ups, and new construction. PD Designs goes beautifully with his real estate career.

How does Patrick do both? “I work a lot,” Patrick humorously remarks. His engineering background and hands-on experience in construction uniquely position him to provide accurate information to clients, enabling them to make informed decisions about potential renovations.

Defining Success

Success, for Patrick, is not measured by a salary or dollar amount. “Success is helping people reach their goals. If my client succeeds, I succeed,” he says. “I want to be able to like what I see when I look in the mirror. My only goal in life is to be a good person.”

“I try to put more into the world than I take from it. I ask God every day to give me the ability to do that,” he adds thoughtfully. 

Patrick gives back to local nonprofits, helping others in the community through his volunteer efforts and dedication to make a difference. 

Balancing Work and Personal Life

Currently working 80 hours a week, Patrick’s number one priority is and always will be his family. He and his fiancée, Emma, became engaged in October of 2023. They share two dogs, Gus and Theo, who get all the attention at home. 

Patrick still finds time for his passions outside of work. A huge basketball fan, he watches college basketball and the NBA. "I love music festivals," says Patrick. Although he hasn't had time this year, he's hoping that will change in the future. Other pastimes include hiking and climbing, which are great ways to relax and recharge from real estate.

The Golden Rule

A man of integrity, Patrick lives his life by the Golden Rule, which dates back to his grandmother's influence when he was 10. She told him, "You can’t ever take back how you treat people, and you can’t take back the impression that you leave on people. The best way to live is by the Golden Rule and treat other people the way you want to be treated.”

Patrick Doyle's story is one of determination, service, and a commitment to both professional excellence and personal growth. As he continues to rise in the real estate industry, his journey serves as an inspiration for those who value hard work, integrity, and the power of building genuine connections.
