Testimonials
“Lawrence conducts his business in a highly professional manner and is an agent who really does have his Vendor’s best interests at heart. He goes the extra mile for his clients; and is not ‘interested in just the sale’ – but very much focuses on achieving the best possible outcome for is clients; even in the face of adversity.
The presentation of Lawrence’s marketing combined with his wide range of marketing strategies are the best we have seen – having sold and bought 8 properties in our time as property owners.”
Mike & Karen Bardwell
“Lawrence continually demonstrates his exceptional professional capabilities to maximum effect. Due to his superior marketing skills and superb people skills, our home sold quickly ‘under the hammer’ for a price we were absolutely delighted with.
Lawrence handles all negotiations with scrupulous honesty and the utmost professionalism.
We highly recommend Lawrence Peeters, whether you are buying or selling your home.”
Tom & Heather O’Flynn
“Before listing our lifestyle property my husband and I attended at least 20 open homes searching for the right agent. Lawrence clearly stood out with his energy, stamina and professionalism.
The most valuable point of difference lay with Lawrence’s exceptional customer service, and his incredibly high standard of negotiation skills.
Notwithstanding that we lived out of town, Lawrence would travel to see us any time day or night. The end result achieved by Lawrence through his superior negotiation skills well exceeded our expectations.
Lawrence continued the customer service relationship by providing valuable input into the purchase of our next home, albeit being through another agency; such was his level of dedication and commitment.
The bottom line is that there are simply not enough adjectives to describe how thrilled we were to find Lawrence.
We have since referred him to close colleagues and friends, all of whom have experienced the same unequivocally high standards.
Without hesitation, we would engage Lawrence again.”
Simone & Brendon McNichol
“Not only was Lawrence successful in negotiating the sale of our property, he was honest and professional, and his advice was invaluable. The whole process was therefore more relaxing and less stressful than we anticipated. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Lawrence as an extremely conscientious and enthusiastic agent who we believe would give satisfaction to anyone wishing to sell a property.”
Frank & Marie Griffin
“Thank you for the efficient and courteous manner with which you so assuredly sold our home. I have used many fine agents for my property dealings over the past twenty five years and I consider you one of my best associations.”
Dr Rodney Robinson
“In preparation to sell we canvassed 4 recognised agents in addition to Lawrence. From the start we identified marketing and negotiation skills as critical attributes in the agent we would employ. We were left in no doubt that Lawrence could provide the necessary “X factor”. From the start of the process Lawrence was very focused on the key aspects of market exposure, market feedback and ultimately creating a competitive situation amongst prospective purchasers. Lawrence was able to negotiate a sale on unconditional terms at a sum at the top end 2 days after the property was passed in at auction. Make no mistake, this was a fantastic result, and we would have no hesitation in recommending Lawrence to prospective vendors.”
Chris & Debbie Kaye
“We were so pleased with Lawrence’s energetic skills in selling our home that we had no hesitation in also entrusting him with the sale of our investment property – and this also proved to be the right decision! If you want the services of a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous, and a skilful negotiator, then Lawrence Peeters is your man!”
Professor Murray J Harris PhD
“Our experience with Lawrence Peeters has been a really rewarding one. His expertise in selling real estate is really outstanding, going the extra mile in every aspect of his job.
He did a fantastic job on the marketing of our house; the photos were of great interest to prospective buyers, and we were very happy with the end result.
We would recommend Lawrence to our family and friends and anyone who wants to sell or buy a home and get the same great results.”
Colin & Jo Hogg
“Lawrence is a self motivated person who displays an innovative approach to all his endeavours. His dedication to seeing a job well done has seen him ‘go the extra mile’ and he would not be satisfied until the task was completed to his satisfaction.”
“Lawrence has always impressed with the meticulous and thorough way in which he approaches his work. He is an accomplished communicator and conveys ideas and instructions clearly and concisely. Also, he is an excellent listener and assesses information logically.”
“Metro’s superior marketing channels definitely reach more buyers in the property market place.
The standard of Lawrence’s photography is evident and we were extremely pleased with the way our property stood out in the Otago Daily Times, Metro’s inhouse publication, and the internet.
Well done for having top notch marketing and a selling strategy that works!”
“I recently was fortunate to engage Lawrence Peeters as my Estate Agent when I was preparing for sale in Dunedin. An added complication was that I live in Christchurch and so everything had to be done by “remote control”.
It was here that Lawrence excelled in his service. All the property details were taken care of, advertising was first class (the first advertising of the house in the “inhouse” magazine was excellent and generated lots of interest from the word go) and his advice on preparation of the property was spot on.
It can be quite common to hear “horror stories” of house sales which go horribly wrong and this would be mainly attributable to the quality of the advice received. I am glad to say that in my case, the whole selling experience was a very good one and this was due to the quality of the Estate Agent involved.
I would certainly recommend Lawrence Peeters as an Estate Agent to any potential seller (or buyer) and would have no hesitation in contacting him again for repeat business.”
