"MY EXPERIENCE OF SELLING REAL ESTATE WITH DAVID PETERS…
Testimonial by Raquel Michaelis, Parksville

I am one happy camper! Recently, I became heir to a condo in Nanaimo. Knowing absolutely nothing about real estate, I was very anxious and stressed by all the preparation, renovations, paperwork and the selling procedure itself. I had many sleepless nights, rising to near-panic at times. I worried day and night, because I didn’t understand the process. My ignorance made the situation very forbidding.

Then David stepped in. He clearly presented his services and shared his knowledge in a professional and positive manner. He explained the issues I did not previously understand and was at all times pleasant and approachable. He dealt with many of the little issues as well as the big ones, kept the communication lines open, continuously updated us on what was being done and often utilized his calm presence to ease my fears. He also did something I did not expect and will not forget. When my husband became very ill, David cheerfully took on the task of completing the reno work not yet done…and he drove numerous times to Nanaimo from Parksville to do the things that still needed doing. He was honest about what was necessary to get the price we wanted. David truly went the extra mile. He wasn’t afraid nor unwilling to get right in there and do things we couldn’t
.
Finally, I am grateful that David assessed our condo so accurately that it was successfully sold at a price which delighted us. We would not have had such peace of mind and a satisfying sale without David! We thank him for exceeding our expectations and taking everything into his capable hands, while caring about us and being ‘there’ for us no matter what.

Thank you, David! June 2010"

"David has gone above & beyond for us from the very beginning. We were long distance buyers from Calgary looking to buy in the Parksville area. Once David knew our tastes & what we were looking for, he offered to pre-check any possible listings to save us the time & expense of flying out every time. This was a huge help & with David's knowledge we found the perfect home away from home. We have since put this property up for sale & once again David has put forth great effort to help in every way. Not only did he help us move in & out, David continues to check on our property, has mowed the lawn & taken down the Gazebo! We could not have managed any of this without him. Thankyou so much David, sorry if this raises the bar for future clients but your good deeds need to be recognized!!"

"I was very pleased to have David Peters help me sell my house. Prior to listing my place with David, I had listed it with another Realtor and was very unhappy with the service the first Realtor provided.
David proved to be not only an honest and sincere person, but also hard working with a good knowledge of the real-estate business. David was always readily available to discuss and deal with any concerns I had. He gave sound advice and I had confidence in his good judgment.
David made an excellent presentation of his marketing plan to sell my house and carried through on all his proposals. He kept me informed via the internet, telephone calls and written reports as to the house's activity, whether it was showings or market comparisons.
David had a dependable team to assist him when he was not available.
I was very happy with David's professionalism and his loyalty towards me in selling my house.
I would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone looking to buy a house or to sell their own home. I would definitely call on David's services again to either buy or sell a house for me."

"In our dealings with realtor David Peters and his team, we found all to be consummate professionals. In our first meeting with them, they spent 11/2 hours detailing the housing market and advising us on how to proceed with selling our home. Pricing was our main concern and they advised us accordingly, leaving us an informative binder on recent home sales, as well as pointers on selling our home.

Our decision to put our home up for sale and look for a new one in the Edmonton area was an emotional one. David and his team sensed this, and to our satisfaction, went over our options in proceeding with the sale. Communications were clear and we quickly developed confidence in them. We had sold a number of houses before but this was the first time we had been treated in this kindly, helpful and thorough manner. Working with David and his team was a very positive experience and we would certainly use them again should the need arise. Although we did not go through with the sale, they were very gracious in accepting this outcome and are providing us with ongoing information on real estate transactions in the Parksville area.

Through our dealings with David and his team, we gained positive insights into the real estate market. They certainly exceeded our expectations of what realtors can do for their clients."

"Dear David,

Gary and I want to write and thank you for the wonderful effort you put forth in helping us sell the property from our friend’s estate. It was a difficult time to sell but your advice was clear, your information was accurate and the plan you put into action did the job. Imagine our surprise when the first offer we received sold the house.

It just goes to prove our belief, that when you pay for good advice you must take it. Everything you told us about how to sell the house, the market and mostly the price was so true.

Thanks again for all the help."

"We just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much we appreciated your efficiency in finding us a home on such short notice. I never would have guessed that by working with you, through the Internet, could produce such immediate results. Most people we relay our story to are amazed that we came out to Vancouver Island and found a home, had it completely inspected and then wrapped up the purchasing all within two days.

Kimberly seemed to understand exactly what we were interested in prior to our arrival and only showed us those homes that fit within our criteria. Because she eliminated anything that did not have what we wanted, we were able to make maximum use of our time. We were extremely pleased that she was able to talk the building inspector in to squeezing our home in for the first inspection, the following day.

Again, thank you so much for the welcome basket that you left on the counter. It was a nice touch and a great way to celebrate our new beginnings here in Qualicum Beach."

"When my fiancée and I came up with the idea to buy a house, out of province, we gave David a week to help us find one. As first time home buyers we were very oblivious to all the rules and conditions for buying a new house not to mention overwhelmed by the whole process. With David’s help and his patience, he taught us about the market and helped us make an informed decision. We felt that we could trust him over the phone without even meeting him in person. David prides himself in treating his clients the same way he would expect to be treated, with respect, fairness and honesty. His approach was non-threatening, while enthusiastic, very supportive, patient, and professional. He has great ideas, and provided us with excellent advice. We are very happy with our new home and we bought it hassle free. We were extremely happy with David as our agent; we would use him again, and would be more then happy to recommend him to friends, family or colleagues who may be looking for an agent."
