We interviewed five real estate agents. The particular company mattered less to us than the presentation, personality and experience of the agent. We wanted someone who would represent us as we see ourselves - professional. We did not want to be represented by someone who looked like a used car salesman or engaged in chatty superfluous dialogue simply to secure our business. As first time sellers, the ideas on how best to sell our property were paramount to our decision process. Ours was a modest but lovely little govvie with extensions to living areas and had a beautiful established garden. Once we moved out, the house seemed small and it was difficult to picture how we had had fit our lives into it. Peta was the only agent we interviewed who brought fresh ideas to the process. She initiated the idea of leasing furniture to display the home to best show it off - something we had considered but each other agent interviewed said was a waste of money. Peta was friendly, without fake banter, highly experienced clear in her provision of detailed information, treated both my husband and I as equals in the process and it didn't hurt that she held a cracker sales record in comparison to others interviewed. Initially we believed we should go to auction and were hesitant to budge from this idea, however we trusted Peta's instinct to place the property on sale as 'by negotiation'. Her expertise rang loud and true when we were presented with several offers well over the estimations provided by her competitors. Peta's sound advice throughout the sales project was excellent. We cannot recommend her enough.

Peta is an exceptionally competent real estate marketer. She is very persistent, even when the sale is proving difficult. She has excellent communication skills and always ensures that her clients are well advised of what is happening with the marketing of the property. I would highly recommend Peta to anybody selling their property in the ACT.

Peta has been kind, helpful and extremely professional throughout the sale process related to my house. Being in a different state made it quite stressful but Peta was always there to give me updates and make sure I was fully informed at every stage of the process. I was impressed with her knowledge of the local market and the effort she put into getting me a sale. Her constant support and reassurance were great. I also appreciated her help in accessing the essential support I needed in terms of conveyancing and inspections. Thankyou for everything, Peta.

Peta was just excellent in her approach and kept us encouraged throughout the process. It was a very tough decision for us, but with Peta's assistance, patience, knowledge and commitment we were more than pleased. Thank you very much for everything Peta, you are a great human being and an outstanding agent.

After having bought (and sold) several houses, it was so refreshing to meet Peta and discover that, actually, not all real estate agents are the same. From beginning to end, Peta was warm, friendly, listened well and was always available to guide us through the whole process. On the business side of things, she was always professional and got us a great price. We have recommended Peta to several friends that ended up using her, and they were similarly impressed. My wife and I can't recommend her too highly.

Peta is the pinnacle of professional. Right from the start, she was working on getting our property sold and really did everything required to get us the result we achieved. It was an excellent experience and if we had another property to sell, we would be signing with Peta again.

Peta has sold a few of our houses both private and business. Words can't describe the skill set Peta has. From start to finish using Barrett Elton is stress free and professional service. We recommend the company to our friends and clients. Regards Jason & Litia

Peta delivered above and beyond our expectations. Her knowledge and expertise combined with her professionalism ensured the quick sale of our home. Living overseas complicated our situation, but Peta provided solid advice, communicating regularly and kept us informed constantly during our short sale period. Her team also made the process seamless and nothing was ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend Peta to any prospective seller.

After no sale success and difficulties with another agent, I went with Peta following recommendation by a friend. She was professional and friendly, understood and respected what I was after, and kept me informed of progress along the way. Peta delivered without fuss or difficulty and I would highly recommend her as an agent. A refreshing point of difference in the Canberra realty scene.

When I first met Peta I knew I wanted her to sell our home. Not only is Peta friendly and easy to communicate with, she also instilled a great deal of confidence that our home would be sold painlessly and at a great price. This is exactly what happened. At all times Peta and her staff provided flawless service, everything was arranged promptly and correctly, there was never once a problem or issue. Her advice was spot on and we achieved the price we wanted for the property. At all times Peta was there to answer questions and reassure me in a professional and personable way. She made a process We expected to be challenging and difficult extremely easy and painless and for that I couldn't be more grateful. All of my expectations were met and exceeded. I would recommend Peta to anyone and if I ever need to sell a property again I will only be calling Peta. By far the best agent in Canberra. We couldn't be happier.

Peta's initial approach was respectful, professional and personal for us. She continued to support us 150% through the whole process of the sale. For us it was particularly stressful due to a family bereavement. Peta took extra care of us and consistently assisted and advised beyond any expectation. Barrett Elton's motto of it's not business .. it's personal - is truly personified by Peta and I cannot thank her enough or recommend her highly enough. I feel like an add but truly she looked after a complex sale professionally but also looked after all of us in so many ways from house preparation, challenging negotiations to conveyancing. If you are after an agent who does exactly what she says and makes a crappy time bearable.. use Peta. Her support team were also highly professional and very personable. Thanks Peta for both getting a good price and making this as smooth as it could be, but more for taking complete care of our family and sale during the process. I am so very lucky that we chose you. Very happy to be a referee for your business anytime. Professional, totally client focussed, personal and high performing... what more could you get in an agent?

We interviewed 3 agents before deciding on Peta. Our reasons for selecting her were various including friendly , confident , very comfortable with knowledge of the real estate market here in Canberra, personable and a listener rather than a talker when we were asking many questions. Her advice was given not forced down our throats and she was very comfortable with our wish not to go to auction. She accepted our time frame for our preparation to put the house onto the market and indicated her expectations for the time the house would take to sell. All our expectations were met and exceeded with a smooth path prepared by Peta and her team. At no time did we feel pressured or bothered by her. We would happily recommend Peta to anyone needing a real estate agent.
