We first had dealings Peter (and Cheryl) 3 years ago when we were considering selling our house on 2/3 of an acre in North Ringwood, which we had owned for 40 years. For the last 20 years it had be tenanted and fallen into disrepair. Peter made appraisals of market as it was, with house removed and for a 2 lot sub division. He indicated the pluses and minuses of a doing a 2 lot subdivision. Even then we were impressed with knowledge of local and out of the ordinary real estate. He made definitive and credible estimates whereas other agent came on with could be about this or that. In hindsight we reckon his appraisal was spot on Fast-forward, we decided to go down to subdivide and after 2+years we ended up with title two very large cleared blocks of prime real estate. We revisited agents for sale of one of these blocks. Some gave us a rather negative approach, some gave very little substantiation of there appraisal and other were just after a quick sale. Peter inspected the property and back at his office proceeded to provide substantial evidence of sales of large blocks in the area. We are skeptical and cautious vendors but Peter answered all our questions in detail and with evidence to support his answers. We pushed for a sale range at the top end of our appraisals and Peter was content with this. His commission and his advertising costs were the lowest we had been quoted. He even made sole agency agreement very short so we could bail out if there were no decent offers. We felt quite confident listing with him. After a short marketing campaign Peter achieved much interest in the property and presented us with best two offers, both of which were at the top of the range. With a little more negotiation the sale was completed, yielding a price beyond our expectations. Peter delivered what he said he could and we will be listing the second allotment with him!
