Peter Parker

What I'd like you to know about me

There are literally thousands of Realtors to choose from, so why choose me? Because you will find that more than with any other factor, your satisfaction and success in real estate will be based on the quality of your relationship with your Realtor. While my sales effectiveness and experience is confirmed by several regional awards, I'd like you to look at and listen to the many client testimonials found here and on my web site - you'll find that they describe me as honest, trustworthy, hardworking, creative, easy to work with, committed and accessible, feeling to them like a good friend who also happens to be a proven real estate expert concerned with their needs more than my own. I understand the value of a home; I was an elementary classroom teacher for ten years before I became a Realtor, and with my wife of twenty four years, I have raised two children, and am now thrilled to be helping raise a grandchild. I am the President of the Board of Trustees of my church and have been featured in many local theater and storytelling productions, as well as the independent movie "Sounds". Visit www.SoundsTheMovie.com for more info and a peek at the trailer, a behind the scenes clip and production photos. It'll give you a chuckle, and you won't laugh alone...it won 3 awards - 2 Gold and 1 Silver - at the 2008 Houston WorldFest International Film Festival, and 3 more at the 2008 West Hollywood International Film Festival, so call me now before Hollywood (or Bollywood) beats you to me! Last of all, to state the obvious, I am the only Sacramento area Realtor with the name of a world known Superhero - when you work with me that will be something you can tell YOUR grandchildren about! To wrap up, in addition to the usual range of helping clients in selling and purchasing residential and investment properties, I have a much broader range of experience than most Realtors, having worked on infill and rehabilitation projects and contributed to the design and management of several new home subdivisions, so please let me know how I can help you. I'd love to have you join the good company of my many happy clients.

Testimonials - What My Clients Say About Me

My name is Kelly Owens and I recently worked with Peter Parker on the purchase of a beautiful 3-Bedroom, 2-Bath, 2-Car Garage house in Citrus Heights. When I first met Peter, he asked what my needs were in a home and what I could afford, and then he focused on the listings that fit the needs. It couldn't have been any easier. Peter's great, and anytime I'd need to meet with him to look up listings he'd be there for my convenience. Peter has a real eye for detail. When showing us a house, he'd point out the potential problems large or small; with his knowledge of the house, and location in the neighborhood he made selecting a home simple. Peter is obviously very knowledgeable. Knowing which homes are the best value and practically being able to predict what offers and opinions the sellers would accept. I was very pleased. He definitely cared about my real estate needs. It was more like a friend trying to get me a good deal on a house. The best part about working with Peter, I'd have to say, is his relaxed no-pressure approach. You could tell his goal was customer satisfaction. Peter helped explain the buyer and closing process and by knowing what to expect it eliminated all the stress factor. He has great communication skills, keeping me (as the buyer) as well as the seller informed on all the updates made the whole transaction run smoothly. Peter has a great team... Rosalie is a sweetheart. She coordinated and scheduled the order of events to make everything a smooth process. My overall impression of Peter and his services? I can sum that up in one word: Professionalism.I would definitely use Peter again or recommend him to any of my friends or family. There'd be no other reason to use anyone else. As far as any comments or suggestions... not to sound like a commercial, but if you're looking for a home, call Peter Parker.

Susie Connelly - Seller of 2240 Baywater, Rancho Cordova: I'm very pleased with the sale of my home with Peter Parker as my Realtor. I'd previously listed my home with another agent for over three months and had gotten no results. Then I called Peter. Peter is the epitome of a great Realtor; professional in every sense of the word. He is knowledgeable of market trends, and he knew how to use them to my advantage as a seller in a buyer's market at the slowest selling time of the year. Peter demonstrated his experience and skill in determining the most effective course of action in pricing and marketing my home. We got multiple offers in less than three weeks, and closed escrow on time at full price. I truly appreciated the high level of honesty and integrity that he demonstrated throughout the sale of my home, and I highly recommend him.

Olivia Perez - Seller of 5564 Seyferth Way: We first listed our house at 5564 Seyferth in July 2006 with a friend's sister as our Realtor. We'd already purchased another home in Elk Grove that was scheduled to close in September, and we kept trying to sell our home on Seyferth until December, paying two mortgages, until we decided we needed to make a change. We had received some information and a letter in the mail from Peter Parker, and I liked what his previous clients had to say, so I decided to call him. After talking to Peter, I liked his honesty and I could sense his motivation to sell our house. We met with him shortly after; he became our Realtor and the task to sell our home on Seyferth became his. Our house closed within 2 months of listing it with Peter. In addition to the offer we accepted we had 3 other offers - during the previous six months it was listed we had not gotten a single offer! Peter's experience was evident. He advised us on the price of our home, and his marketing, including the pictures, flyer and virtual tour, all looked very professional. I appreciated Peter's team, in particular his two assistants Rosalie and Tami. They were so helpful and returned calls promptly. I am very pleased with the result I got working with Peter. If we ever decide to move again we will definitely call him. I have recommended him to family and friends, and my only regret is that I did not meet Peter sooner.

Sanford Miller, seller of 3508 Eisenhower Drive in Sacramento, said: I would use Peter Parker in a New York minute for our next transaction. I have already recommended him to others in that he really knows the market in the Sacramento area and he is great to work with. We had the feeling that we were Peter's only client. And though we knew he probably had more irons in the fire... he never gave that impression. He was never rushing off to somewhere else, we always felt we had his ear, we could meet with him in person or he was available on the phone. He was actually very attentive to our needs. Peter's expertise in what is necessary to sell a house went way beyond what we thought was necessary and we are convinced that it really contributed to the sale of the house and to the rapidity with which the house sold. So his knowledge of the real estate business was very impressive and we think it helped us sell the house. Peter was totally efficient. I think with his office staff, with Rosalie... they were amazing at how prompt they were getting things done and we were very impressed by how efficient they were as a team.
