Believe the hype - Peta Barrett is the best

I’m so grateful to have had Peta recommended to me to sell my property. From our first discussion, the process was exceptionally smooth, thanks to her professionalism, efficiency, proactivity and depth of knowledge. She capably managed a range of complex issues, including in relation to showing and selling a tenanted property. On top of this, Peta is, unfailingly, a pleasure to deal with.

Five stars not enough

Peta Barrett is truly outstanding in her commitment, communication and genuine kindness, we met other agents on our research phase before putting our home of 44 years on the market, yet she still shone out with her understanding of how nervous we were to make the move to downsize. Every question was handled with a clear and quick answer, nothing was too much bother, always done with a smile. We felt supported on every decision that needed to be made and always felt Peta had our best welfare at the centre of every answer. Added to this Peta offered to help us negotiate on our next home, true to her word she gave advice that made that step less arduous. Peta surrounded herself with a wonderful caring team to help with the successful marketing of our home, Maria deserves a special mention as Peta’s assistant, she is very friendly and goes the extra mile. We sold our home after the first open house at a higher than expected price which is a testament to Peta’s dedication and knowledge of Canberra’s real estate market. We couldn’t recommend Peta more, and five stars isn’t nearly enough.

Peta's expertise in the real estate market ensured that my house was marketed effectively and sold quickly. Kat's support throughout the process was invaluable, making everything seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Peta and Kat to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
