Patrick J. Connolly

President, CEO & Broker

Patrick J. Connolly is a third generation real estate professional, coming from a family of brokers, realtors, and appraisers.  He is a real estate broker/designated officer and an experienced real estate attorney* with over a dozen years of experience practicing in San Francisco.  As an attorney he has represented parties involved in nearly every aspect of real estate including large scale condominium developers, urban in-fill developers, real estate brokerages, real estate agents, property management firms, property investment companies, sellers, lenders, borrowers, buyers, corporate and mom-and-pop landlords, tenants, and other notable organizations, including multiple Ivy League universities and one of the largest health insurers/hospitals in the country.  Mr. Connolly advised and represented clients on multiple “eight figure” purchase/sale transactions as an attorney, including a luxury residential condominium which sold for in excess of $15,000,000, one of the most expensive condominium sales in San Francisco and the State of California.

With substantial knowledge of real estate law gained from a decade of real estate legal work, he founded Obsidian Real Estate, Inc. because he felt he had much more knowledge than most agents about different aspects of real estate and could serve his clients better than most agents.  He strongly believes that knowledge will get you ahead in a highly competitive market, where your home, livelihood, and/or substantial investment are very valuable and potentially at risk.       

Away from work, you can find Patrick with his wife, sons, and their two dogs  His family enjoys spending time in Inner Richmond, where they live, the rest of San Francisco, Marin, and wine country.
