We worked with Pete to sell our apartment in the West End and buy our new town home in Fairview Slopes. Based on a recommendation, we called Pete in March 2009 to discuss our plans. Our apartment hit the market in early April and sold in 8 days, for $8,000 above asking. The sale of our apartment coordinated perfectly with the purchase of our new home and we were able to negotiate a rent back from the new purchasers for two months while we renovated our new home. All of this was accomplished in less than one month in a "market slump". Pete is knowledgeable, organized, and a straight shooter. Not to mention, a pleasure to hang out with. We look forward to working with him again and highly recommend him.

As first time home buyers, we learned that Pete Raab is exactly the kind of realtor you want to have by your side during the process. From the beginning, he helped us to develop our 'wish-list', critically view properties and navigate our way through the real estate market. Pete provided expert advice and support until we found exactly the right home for us.
We are so appreciative and will highly recommend his service to others.

Hi Pete
I just wanted to say thanks again for your help in the whole home buying process. Being a first-time buyer I probably had more questions about things than the average person; not to mention pestering you with all those emails. You were great with answering them and helping me to understand things better so that I could make the decisions that were right for me. I won't hesitate to go through you for when it comes time to sell my place and to look for a new one. I will definitely recommend you to friends and family who are looking for a realtor.

I really appreciated working with Peter as a first time home buyer.
His low-key approach and impressive listening skills helped me feel that Peter knew what I was looking for and wasn't wasting my time looking at places that weren't a fit.
I never felt pressured to buy something quickly and Peter's attitude of wanting to get me into a place I felt fantastic about was the key. During negotiations, Peter helped me manage to get the home I wanted for a significantly lower price than I expected to pay.
I highly recommend having Peter on your side during any real estate purchase!
Thanks a million Pete!

Hi Pete,
I just wanted to thank you for the expertise that you demonstrated with the recent purchase of our new home and revenue property in Vancouver.
It was always a pleasure to go out on a tour with you. We both felt that we were not pressured or rushed into buying anything.
When we had a tough decision you always told us the reasons why we should keep looking.
You were very accommodating when our preferences would change almost daily and supported our reasons for these changes.
When the time came to make an offer, no time was wasted and your expert advice resulted in a done deal that we are very happy with.
Thanks so much Pete!!

Peter was fantastic in helping me purchase my first condo a year and a half ago. 18 months later, the 600 sq foot. condo in kits turned a profit of $110K and I could not have been happier with Peter's help and professionalism during the selling process.
Whether you are buying or selling (or both), I can't recommend Pete enough. He's excellent.
I met Peter Raab through a mutual friend and was instantly impressed with his professionalism and his strong understanding of my needs. Peter negotiated an incredible deal for me for a one bedroom condo in kits and he was always available to answer questions along the way.
Peter Raab is extrememely organized, efficient, and has an excellent rapport with people. He covers all bases so when it comes time to the signing the forms, there are no hesitations. I'm very happy in my new home and continue a great relationship with Peter.
When you are looking to buy or sell a home, I highly recommend Peter Raab.

The buying process was a new experience for me having never owned a place.
Pete was very helpful, taking me through the different steps, and explaining everything I needed to know.
And making me feel comfortable without any pressure.
I appreciated his laid back, but professional approach, throughout our time working together.

Thanks for taking the stress out of our first home buying experience.
We found your guidance through the process extremely comforting, and your knowledge and experience with buying and selling in downtown Vancouver helped us to find a place that we'll love to live in and that will be a good long term investment.
Thanks for negotiating a winning offer on our behalf. We're really happy in our new home.

Most people complain that there no commendable real estate agents available. We were just such people until we were introduced to Peter Raab.
Peter is so versatile he can work with people of any age, and he knows the real estate market to such an extent that he can sell a house in Kerrisdale or an apartment in downtown Vancouver.
His brilliant marketing strategy helped us sell our home for considerably more than we originally expected. He is careful to take on only so many clients as he can devote full time so we always had prompt responses to our calls and emails.
Thank you Peter.

Dear: Pete,
Thank you! We just wanted to write you a little note of appreciation. We thought you did a fantastic job on helping us find our first home.
Being first time buyers we really had no idea what to expect, you were great at explaining every detail throughout the buying process.
You were very personable, approachable and professional. We really appreciated that you made us feel like you're only clients.
Can't wait to work with you again when it comes time to find something new.
Thanks again,

We totally enjoyed our real estate experience with Peter Raab. He provided us with seller as well as buyer services. In providing these services he demonstrated creative and astute marketing skills and always listened to our needs. He has an excellent manner with potential buyers and as a result obtained a much higher than asking price for the sale of our home. We have already recommended him to our friends and family and would certainly use his services again.
Sincerely,
Francine & Richard C.

We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience in dealing with Peter.
He was confident, organized and so enthusiastic from day one. What really made a positive difference was the excellent rapport he had with other realtors when offers were being presented - we really felt that was the key to getting such an amazing price for our condo we sold in Kitsilano.
We've already recommended Pete to our friends and co-workers.

Pete and I had a great working relationship during the sale of my home and purchase of my new condo in Kitsilano.
There were many challenges we faced (ie: temperamental buyers, delays from sellers, etc) and through dialogue and open communication we managed any issue that arose.
I am completely ecstatic with the results Pete achieved for me.

Dear Pete,
Buying a home for the first time is never easy, especially when it involves moving across the country and to a city you know nothing about.
My wife and I had many unanswered questions until we came across your website and had the opportunity to speak with you directly. Your patience, professionalism and expertise regarding the downtown Vancouver market was in a class of its own. Most remarkable was the tireless effort you went to in order to find us the perfect home. While for most agents that would be enough, you presevered throughout the negotiation process and landed us a price below asking. In a white hot real estate market like Vancouver, that feat is nothing short of magical... but then again when it comes to real estate, you are a wizard.
Thanks for everything, Pete.
All the best.
