"Patient, Professional and Clear"
Pete, Jan and the team are awesome! They helped and patiently guided me through the entire process. Pete and I communicated for over 12 months until I was ready to purchase. He checked in on me periodically and set me up for success. The team stayed available and in constant contact during many evenings and weekends,and especially when paperwork needed to be done on time. They were very professional, and clear about what they were going to do, and they did it. I will definitely use them again.

From our first meeting, we knew we were working with a highly knowledgeable professional, expert in his trade and the local market.Pete’s thorough preparation for our visits provided many options for our new home and made the process extremely easy. Pete clearly understood our requirements and was able match our desires in every instance.

"Calm, In Control and Sincere"
Wow! We have nothing but kind words for Pete and Jan at Relevate. Pete is an amazing Realtor and we highly recommend working with him. As a military family navigating a home purchase from out of state during a difficult buying season, and then later navigating a move during a home build,we could not have asked for a better Realtor to help us purchase a home we love. His consistent communication and advice during this process has been invaluable. He is very knowledgeable and stays a step ahead during the entire process. He removed a lot of stress and concern when we were dealing with our builder. He remained calm, in control and very sincere during this process. It is exactly what we hoped for in an agent. We highly recommend working with Pete and eagerly refer him to anyone we meet looking for a Realtor.

"Proactive and Knowledgeable"
Pete and his team were great throughout the whole process of purchasing my first house in North Carolina. Not only was Pete great, but the recommendations he provided for contractors and recommended lender all turned out to be great people as well. Being a member of the military,I am not very familiar with Raleigh and the surrounding areas and Pete helped provide insight into the best living areas based on my interests. I felt comfortable picking up the phone and calling Pete at any time. He and his team kept me up to date with the process and I was never left wondering where I stood. I felt that Pete had my best interest in mind and was very knowledgeable about the industry. I would absolutely recommend him and wish I could use him in the future.

"Beyond Expectations"
We just bought a house, and Pete was our guy. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. We were buying from 1000 miles away, so having someone local that could deal with all the issues when we could not, was a must. Pete (and his team!) delivered beyond our expectations. He was responsive,always making sure we stayed informed, and got everything done. Even when things got a little tricky (due to external factors), Pete guided us through the process, and made our purchase possible, and as stress-free as could be expected. I would recommend Pete with no reservations, and in fact, already have, to a friend looking to buy in the area.

By listening to his advice, our home sold in 4 days in a declining market. I could not be happier with our choice of realtor!

"Honest, Dedicated and Available"
I used Pete for multiple transactions over the years and will continue to come back to him. I recently reached back out to him to buy another house, and he instantly called me to chat as if it hadn’t been years since we last saw each other. Throughout the buying process,Pete and his team were always available and willing to answer any questions. I loved that we were in a text message chat so if any quick questions popped up, I could get a quick answer, or any reminders they needed to send me. We went on quite a house hunting adventure together. He and his team are quite dedicated to finding you the house that fits your checklist. They are honest with any obstacles, and I have appreciated their preferred vendors and the work they perform. I love my new house and I can’t wait to make it a home.

"Best in the Business!"
Pete is one of the best in the business. I was able to leverage him and his team to fix up my rental house in the matter of 3 weeks and get it on the market. It would have taken me 2 months if I would have done it by myself. He knows the market inside and out.
