As first-time home buyers we didn't even know how to find a Realtor, much less find a house that we could make feel like home. We started looking at the MLS listings on our own; Peter happened to be filling in for the Realtor involved in the sale of one of the properties we were considering. After a walk-by it was clear that this first place wasn't the house we were looking for, but we had been impressed with Peter's prompt response to our inquiry (in late December, when many Realtors weren't returning our calls at all) and his candid assessment of our needs and asked him to become our Realtor.

We were particularly impressed that after a short interview Peter seemed to have a strong sense of what we were looking for. Within a day of meeting he had arranged for an electronic client account that would alert us to houses he felt might be suitable, even before they made it to MLS. One in particular caught our eye, and despite it being New Year's Eve Peter got right on it to arrange a viewing. A few days later we were able to see the house.

We fell in love with the house right away and were anxious that we would lose it if we didn't offer a high price (revealing our naivete as first-time buyers). Peter was terrific in helping us realistically assess the property's strengths and weaknesses and determine an appropriate initial offer. He also helped us understand the importance of occupancy date and conditions as part of the offer (we had been solely focused on the money), and helped facilitate us finding a reputable building inspection company. He spent the entire day helping us with the paperwork, even driving one of us to work for a meeting so we could have more time that day to do everything needed to make a solid offer to the sellers.

Peter continued to help us with each step from acceptance of the offer to possession. We were really touched that when we moved in he had left a card, bottle of champagne, and welcome home balloon to help make it feel like the special home it has become for us.

The saying "start right, finish right" really was true for us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Peter as a Realtor, especially to other first-time home buyers.

My wife and I had decided that we needed to purchase a house for our 19 year old son in the Victoria area. We booked a hotel in downtown Victoria for the weekend and we headed for the Ferry terminal. Having no contacts in Victoria I had asked my wife to browse the web and put a list of Realtors together. From the Ferry terminal I called the first 3-4 Realtors on the list from my cell phone asking questions about their abilities, knowledge and success.

Peter was about 5th on the list of about 11-12 Realtors. Peter quickly impressed me with his forthright and down to earth manner and I made the choice not to call the others on the list and to meet with Peter to view properties the following morning.

Peter was at our hotel, on time, organized and with a very relaxing manner. He had put together a list of 5-6 houses that he felt fitted our needs and budget and we were ready to go. After spending all day viewing all of the properties we found the last house to be perfect for our requirements. With such short time available, and it being a public holiday weekend, Peter wasted no time in gathering all the relevant and important information on the house that allowed us to make our final decision.

We visited the house once more the following morning where Peter and I went through the house "with a fine tooth comb" With his knowledge of the properties in general, the local area, market conditions and a "feel" for the sellers motivation he recommended an offer price that we were delighted with. After some counter offers we were able to agree on a final purchase price with our offer being accepted by the seller.

Peter was always aware that we needed occupancy within 15 days. It was at this point that Peter showed his true colours. Through his organizational abilities, local contacts and personal drive we were able remove all subjects, close the sale and take possession of the property in 12 days!!!

We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter Gray as an innovative, knowledgeable and very motivated Realtor.
