I Went to the Suburb Expert, & Got An Exceptional Result
Peter's reputation as the expert for my suburb & surrounds preceded him, & even after just the initial consultations, I could see why. I'd had 2 other appraisals, both significantly lower than Peter's, but he took the time to explain his reasoning, & it all made a lot of sense - not just being optimistic, his rationales had a lot to back him up.
After I engaged Peter, the market softened significantly, with many homes being passed in, or selling for much lower than expected. Peter acknowledged this, but said he felt that with the right campaign strategy, we could limit the impact of that market issue.
His campaign was intense, very hands-on, & wide-reaching. He also accurately read the feedback he & his team were getting, & his suggestion that we have even more Open Homes proved fruitful in attracting more interested parties. This flexibility was impressive, the dedication he showed to the goal of maximizing the interest in my home was exceptional.
He was extremely honest with all the potential buyers, definitely NOT enticing them with the (unrealistic) promise of a bargain. I heard the comments after the auction, & all were grateful for his honesty & the attention he had given each party.
His pre-auction suggestions for setting the Reserve & his rationale as well as outlining possible consequences of incorrect Reserve setting was incredibly valuable, & I felt that I had a high degree of control, & that the team were very aware of my thinking - and my agreement with Peter's auction strategies.
I am so impressed, and grateful, that the price he secured for my sale was over $200,000 MORE than the upper appraisals of the other agents, & was well over the minimum of Peter's range. He predicted very accurately the result I could expect, even within a shaky & soft market.
I am absolutely certain that I would not have got this result had I not chosen Peter - nor if he not been so well respected within the Real Estate industry.
