Philadelphia Gay Realtor Puts Customer Service First

According to Peter, picking a favorite neighborhood in Philly is akin to asking a parent to pick their favorite child. “I love so many neighborhoods in Philly – all for different reasons. For me, there’s nothing better than meandering down Delancey Street on Halloween (the costumes are TDF) or attending the annual Philadelphia Flower Show with my family (It’s a tradition) – I have and will always have an innate passion for The City of Brotherly Love which also includes the Main Line area — Chanticleer garden experience, in Wayne, is a favorite spot.” 

A great listener and a natural visionary, Peter is a master when it comes to facilitating the client journey from listing to closing. As a Philadelphia gay Realtor, the combination of his education, experience, passion, and attention to detail separates him from other agents.

“I believe in being very straight-forward with clients because that’s how I would want to be treated. I’m very candid, down-to-earth and brutally honest at times.”

Vancouver Washington Gay Realtor Proudly Serving Southwestern WA

I chose to partner with Keller Williams to grow my Real Estate business in 2017 and I’ve never looked back. KW’s unique Mission Vision, Values, Beliefs and Value Proposition are unmatched when you’re looking to put people first. Turns out, for a extreme introvert, I’m actually quite the people person. 🙂 

KW’s rich Culture and focus on always doing the right thing, even when it’s uncomfortable, is why I choose to continue to call it home. As a Vancouver Washington gay Realtor, I have the honor of sitting on our Agent Leadership Council as the chair of our Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee.

Personally, I also have a passion for mental, physical and whole being wellness. I’m an avid indoor Cycler and former instructor at CycleBar. I firmly belief that in order to give back and pour into others, we must first do so with ourselves.

The inventory of homes for sale remains low, in some areas even lower than last year, and prices are still inching up despite higher interest rates. If you’re selling your home or investment property this spring, you should already be making improvements that will showcase it in its best light and garner the most interest and the highest price.

Preparing Your Home for Sale

You’ve been spending more time than normal in your home since COVID lockdowns and the onset of teleworking, so small, annoying problems may have taken on a larger significance. That faucet drip has turned into a leak under the kitchen sink. The dryer that is overheating may require a clean-out of its vent. Perhaps you found a shingle in your back yard after last weekend’s wind and need to prevent water penetration into your attic during the next downpour.

Well, git to fixin’! Preparing your home for sale now will help you move it faster later.

Those of us in the real estate trade can tell you that a small item in need of repair can lead a potential buyer to think, “If this little thing is wrong, what big problem might be lurking somewhere else?” Test items around your house then call your favorite contractor, tradesperson, or handywoman to diagnose and repair anything out of the ordinary that you notice. Unless you have a background in household repair, this is not the time for a do-it-yourself solution. That’s another red flag for buyers.

At Gay Realty Watch, we look for news to share with you about the gay real estate market – both lgbt real estate news and news specific to gay and lesbian real estate meccas.
