Pete is both knowledgable and experienced. He gave us lots of great advice, and he really knows the lower north shore market. Nothing was too much trouble, and his value add service included recommending excellent tradespeople for our apartment renovation leading up to the sale. We would recommend him to anyone looking to achieve the best price for their property.
Having never been a vendor before, I have always read these testimonials and have assumed that they have been doctored or written by the Agent themselves. I am now putting that misconception to rest. However, there is not much that I can write to convince others as it will only sound all too good to be true. I first stumbled across Pete Hammond at a random Open House for a unit in Artarmon. Suffice to say , we had purchased that unit by the following Friday. Pete and the Property Management Team at R&H Willoughby have subsequently managed that unit and another property for us without complication and with only professionalism. I therefore had a no hesitation in asking Pete to sell our house in Gladesville for us. From that moment on nothing has been a problem. We have owned that house since 1994 and , as our first home, we felt very attached to it in many ways. Pete handled to process from beginning to end with sensitivity and decorum. Being non Sydney residents, it was essential for us to have an agent who could sort every thing and that is exactly how Pete operates. From styling and garden maintainence, to advertising and communication, it all happened by "magic'. Consequently, after our first Open House inspection, the property was sold. I could not have asked for more. Grateful thanks.
We chose Pete because of his sincere, helpful and honest approach. We felt comfortable dealing with him and knew that he would make our future potential buyer feel the same way too. Over the years, he also has been proving his excellent sales skill by achieving top record sales in the area. So we knew we have chosen the best agent!! We are certainly very pleased with today's sale outcome and thank Pete for his hours of hard work and constant support and attention that he had given us over the past couple of weeks. It is also very nice of him to pick up phone calls after work hours." Best regards, Lucy and Jonathan
From day one we were pleased with the understanding that Pete had of our personal situation and his communication with both of us was easy to understand and non judgemental. Pete kept us updated on the whole process and as per our situation Pete discussed with us all happenings and helped us to make informed decisions. With Pete’s understanding and knowledge of the real estate market in the Artarmon area he achieved for us the best possible price and this was way beyond what we had hoped or expected to get for our unit. We have no hesitation in recommending Pete to any family and friends as his help and thoughtfulness went way beyond all real estate experiences we have had in the past. Kind regards Lynnore and Gary Pike"”
"Pete has a thorough understanding and knowledge of the real estate market and I was absolutely thrilled with the selling price he achieved for me .. it was much more than I had expected. I had also decided to have my unit styled to show it off to its best advantage, and the styling service used by Raine & Horne Chatswood/Willoughby made my unit look like beautiful photos from a top class decor magazine .. I am sure it contributed very positively towards the end result. I have no hesitation in recommending Pete Hammond and Raine & Horne Chatswood/Willoughby to my family and friends and anyone who is looking for an agent who is brilliant at what he does, working with a tight-knit team alongside … words cannot express my gratitude. Sincerely, Lynne Taylor THANKS PETE !!”
"Thank you so much for the outstanding result on the sale of my apartment. To have it sold for a record price in my block in under 1 week was simply amazing. The normally stressful experience of selling did not exist and the photography coupled with the advice of your stylist was excellent. Pete understood my needs and position at the time and always looked after my best interests. He has an innate understanding and knowledge of the real estate in this area and I would recommend Pete Hammond and Raine & Horne Chatswood to anyone considering selling their home.
