We built up a relationship with Peter over more than a year of house-hunting and my husband says there was an inevitability about us in the end buying a house from him. As a long-term Armidale resident, Peter has an outstanding knowledge of the local real estate market and an educated understanding of building, which enables him to comment on the fabric of the house as well as its intangible values as a piece of real estate. The way he presents this knowledge is enhanced by his highly-developed communication skills. These skills include projecting a very real enthusiasm for his calling (because it's not just a job for him), displaying the extent of his knowledge, and having a sophisticated ability to read people. His interaction is based on empathy. He has heart and he likes people; he reads people with great skill and people end up liking him. He will work hard to find the house for you, but once he has it he doesn't push it on you. He has a fine sense of tactical withdrawal and is comfortable leaving you time and space to make the decision. He behaves with the utmost integrity at all times. It has been a pleasure to work with him to find the house we wanted to buy.
