Pete helped us both sell our duplex, and also helped us find and buy our dream home. I think 'dream home' doesn't even adequately describe the place we found. We are fairly certain we will lay down our family roots and live at this new place forever. :)
I don't think a short Google review could properly express the quality, professionalism, and level of detail that Pete provides to his clients. I'll do my best to capture why he's the best:
Property sale:
The first time we met Pete, he provided us with a detailed analysis of the property market and a solid indication of the list price he could list our house at. He didn't pressure us into selling, he wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting into and were making the right decision. This was probably 3 years ago. We called him periodically and asked to touch base and see how the market was doing. Eventually, when we had one of these calls, the state of the market and our personal financial situation aligned on a promising and safe outcome for our family. We decided to proceed.
Pete did a phenomenal job of organizing the sale. He helped us get a shortlist of renovations we could do to maximize marketability, and as well his consultant helped us to decorate and stage the house. We were able to improve the look of the place substantially in a short period of time and at a minimal cost, and had it listed within a couple of weeks. Then came the marketing! Pete created market buzz and drummed up interest which led to an offer the Monday after it was listed on a Saturday!!
Pete's got an incredible contact list for almost anything you need related to home purchasing, selling, and often renovations. If he gives you a reference, you can rest assured it's a good one. It's incredibly helpful when organizing all of the required events for a home sale and purchase.
Property Purchase:
We wanted to buy our next home out of the city. Not only did Pete have no issue with travelling far to look at small towns and acreages, he was flexible, competitive and did a great job of valuing and providing advice on the properties we looked at. He performed additional market research before we decided to make an offer on our home.
And like I said above... we took the time and found a place that we really did fall in love with. He helped us set up the conditions and contract so that the process to purchase was pretty hassle free and painless.
To summarize, Pete couldn't have done a better job with our home sale and purchase, and I'll recommend him to anyone I know looking for a realtor. read more
