Peter sold my property for as good a price as we could get. Took a bit longer than I thought but it sold eventually.

I know that it is probably hard for people to understand but Peter Burley and Harcourt’s in Ballarat made the process of selling my house an enjoyable process! As a first time Seller I relied upon their guidance and expertise to make sure I was doing all the right things at my end – but to also keep me calm and from worrying about things I didn’t need to. They provided guidance on what I need to improve to obtain the best price and quickest sale – the advice was realistic and kept to my budget limitations. Anyhow when it came to listing the property it sold in 6 days. No open house was required just private viewings. Their utilisation of a broad customer base really assisted in this. Post sales follow up has also been good and they have a good support network for legal/cleaning etc.

The sale of my house was fast with the outcome I was hoping for. Peter Burley was exactly what I was hoping for in an estate agent. He was open and honest about my home and I felt very comfortable dealing with him. He was absolutely remarkable, with communication, and following up on any queries I had. But I also have to pass on accolades to Emily Kirby who was so professional in dealing with any questions/queries I had regarding the advertising of my home. Thank you Emily! And the same accolades also apply to Sonia Gray who was responsible for my home inspections. She was meticulous in keeping me informed with updates following inspections. Thank you so much Sonia! All in all I would have to say that Team Burley is a force to be reckoned with!! Thank you all so much

Dear Team Burley, on behalf of Chris, Col, Ian, Katherine and myself, I would like to extend a heartfelt "thank you" upon the sale of Laurie Street. As you know, Sonia Gray was the representative from Harcourts that sold us our new home and, due to her professional handling of the sale, we decided to engage Harcourts as the Agents for the sale of Laurie Street. We felt very comfortable with Team Burley handling the sale and were extremely impressed by Peter and Sonia's team approach. Our home was up on the Internet within a week of meeting with Peter and Sonia. We were kept up to date with every step of the process and any questions we had were answered promptly. Peter is certainly very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate but for us, it was Sonia who shone through as the jewel in the crown of Harcourts. She is fantastic to deal with and has a great rapport with both buyers and vendors. Her attention to every detail is meticulous and her cheerful demeanour makes every contact by phone, person or text, an absolute pleasure. We would certainly recommend Harcourts to anyone wanting to buy, sell or rent a quality home. Kind Regards, Jennifer, Katherine, Ian, Chris and Colin

Thanks Pete and Team Really Happy with the service you provided will highly recommend you guys

I found Peter Burley very helpful and supportive during the whole process of selling my house. He was always available to answer questions and provide feedback to me. I would have no problem recommending him.

Having dealt with Peter on a professional level for quite some time, it was my pleasure to have him on board to sell my personal home. Peter has always acted on a very professional level, with great character and enthusiasm. He has a very friendly, down to earth personality which made this process very seamless. Thanks Pete, and your great team, for your assistance! I have no hesitation in recommending Peter for your real estate needs.

Friends told us we should have engaged Peter Burley after we had sold our previous home in Buninyong. We do wish they had told us this before hand! However, we had decided that when we upgraded our town house and placed it on the market we would contact Peter. We have always felt that Peter was pursuing a sale on our behalf and not working for the purchaser. This was extremely important to us as it builds trust and confidence that we have made the 'right' decision. We like Peter personally - he is knowledgeable about real estate in Ballarat and the wider area, honest, well mannered, polite, speaks with love of his family and is extremely hard working. We did not want someone who promised the world but did not deliver - we also wanted an honest appraisal, feedback on how we were travelling and someone who was fair and just. Peter delivered on all aspects of sale and after sale service. We also hope that we have been a valued client. We would recommend Peter to all friends for all of the above reasons. Real estate is not only about knowledge and skills but also about the person. PS We guess the 'smile' in his voice over the phone and the ready smile in person is also an asset.

In our son's opinion, Peter is trendy, wise and has a great haircut!!!! In our opinion Peter came recommended from three clients who had used him to sell their properties. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Peter to anyone else. Always professional, contactable and in our opinion honest.


Pete was an absolute delight to deal with. He sold our house in less than 2 weeks and got a price we were more than happy with.. It's a shame we don't move house more often as we will miss being in touch with Pete. He is an asset to Harcourts and you should hang onto him. A truly genuine lovely guy! Go Pete!

Peter was quickly able to understand our needs and transfer them in to a plan to get the desired result. However the outstanding thing was that him and his team delivered on that plan, in a shorter than expected time frame. I would be happy to use and recommend Peter and his team again.
