Peter helped us buy our first home at a great price, then later sold it for more than we expected. Midway through the transaction, one of us unexpectedly lost a job, which could have derailed everything. Peter quickly restructured the deal and negotiated seller financing, allowing the transaction to move forward. His ability to solve problems under pressure protected our equity and kept us on track. We saw him not just as a realtor, but as a true advisor.
How Peter saved a deal that almost fell apart →Pete was with us from when we were just starting to think about remodeling and selling — this was during Covid, so there were lots of delays. He stuck with us for over a year, through supply chain problems and our own uncertainties. By the time we were ready, the market had turned difficult. Pete persevered, held countless open houses, and we still got over asking. He went above and beyond because he cared about us.
A year-long journey through Covid to over asking →Thanks to Peter we closed promptly at my desired price — and then some. He advised on staging, arranged drone footage of the neighborhood, and shot interior photos that made the MLS listing stand out. Peter is a people person who makes buyers feel at ease from the moment they walk in. I'd recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the Bay Area.
We looked at 40-45 houses over 4-5 weeks. There were times we wondered if we'd ever find the right place. But Peter was always upbeat and kept the process fun. Then one day it happened — we found the place. Peter drove the negotiating process and we won the house for 50k less than it appraised for. He's got a great eye for what possibilities and risks there could be with a given home.
First-time buyers win $50k under appraisal →Peter's help was invaluable in finding an affordable, comfortable and conveniently located home for our family. He's a good listener and was sensitive to our needs as we explored what is a very complex housing market in one of the most expensive parts of the country. With Peter's guidance, we found a terrific home that met our needs and turned out to be a great investment.
