Peter was there with us right from the first time we decided to sell. Always checking up on us, guiding us on what to do and motivating us to get our house ready. Very professional and choosing Peter who knows the area and has sold in the area for many years was the best choice we ever made. Our house was sold before we even had a home open!
Pete is a honest and hard working agent. We have no hesitation in recommending him and thank him for selling our house in an incredibly hard market.
I didn't want signage, regular home opens and I wanted to rent the property back for a few months whilst renovating my new property. I realise I was asking for a lot of Peter but he managed to full fil the spec in a space of about 6 weeks and over the Christmas period! He kept me in the loop at all times and I was happy with the way things turned out. I would definitely recommend him to friends and use his company again. Thanks Peter
In a tough market Pete worked hard to get us a result. We found Pete to be professional and he went above & beyond to accomodate all parties involved. We would definately recomend Pete.
From our first meeting to the final sale of the property Pete Costigan from Oceanside Realty was extremely informative and advised our family throughout all negotiations during the period of his contract. We were thoroughly satisfied with the outcome achieved and found that Pete's advise and help getting the home ready for the successful sale shortly after it was listed.
We first heard about Pete Costigan when we noticed that he had sold some houses of friends and acquaintances, even though they were all in different suburbs nowhere near each other. One house had been on the market for 18 months and was in a sorry state. The lady looking after it for the owner in England told me that Pete had actually gone around and fixed some of the more dilapidated parts himself and organised tradesmen to repair others. I was amazed. Within a couple of weeks the house had sold. Pete sold a lovely house of friends of ours, also in record time, leaving them with nowhere to live. In no time at all, Pete had found them the house of their dreams and they were able to move smoothly from their old home to their new one. By the time we heard all these reports, we had already had our rental house listed with an agent for 6 months with not one offer, so had withdrawn it from sale and rented it out again ourselves. The house was not in good condition, and despite the magnificent view, was obviously difficult to sell in a weak market. However, the house proved difficult to manage when we were overseas so we made the decision to have another go at selling it through Pete. I had a lot of work to do clearing out the last tenant's furniture and cleaning up the house and garden to make the house saleable. Pete came up to help me one afternoon. Within a couple of weeks of listing the house, it was sold for a very reasonable price considering the market. By then we were overseas again, so Pete organised for all the necessary documentation to be sent to us, sorted out the inspection and followed up the new owner's requirements. Pete keeps you informed every step of the way and is a skilful negotiator, leaving seller and purchaser feeling happy with the sale. A friend who is battling an illness who chose Pete as her agent on my recommendation stopped to thank me a few weeks ago for sending her "the best agent ever".
Selling my fathers' home in Padbury was very difficult for me and I will always be very grateful for Pete Costigan's kind assistance. He was very professional in all aspects, gave me very good advice, was very organised and efficient. His price valuation was fair and accurate. Pete's internet presentation of my father's home for sale, was excellent and he was always available to answer any questions I had.
Previously we'd had some bad experiences when buying and selling houses, so when we needed to sell again we asked around for an agent we could trust and were subsequently referred to Pete Costigan. Pete made the sale of our house in Kingsley a totally stress free and profitable experience. He was professional, friendly, honest and knowledgable, working tirelessly to achieve a better than expected price for us - all within 2 weeks! We will definitely be using Pete again when we wish to sell or buy any more real estate.
