Refreshingly honest with a love for real estate, family and our communities, make sure you meet Peter.
“What would you say is a point of difference for HIR REALTY?”
I would say that our biggest point of difference is that we help people with their entire requirement. We meet with our clients and learn what the entire journey is and then we help with all of it, not just selling a home or buying a home, but all of it together. It must be easy for our clients and with a great result.
“What would you say is happening with the Gold Coast property market?”
We are seeing steady growth with people moving to the Gold Coast from interstate, overseas and from inner cities. Post covid-19, the ability to work remotely from home offices has opened the opportunities for
living options and people see the Gold Coast as a wonderful option comparative to where they currently reside both financially and lifestyle wise.
“If you could describe your clients, who typically are they?”
We do work with all different types of clients, but I would say that I have many clients who are over the age of 65 and that number is growing. I love working with this group of clients as many times, it involves selling a property full of memories, needing to find a new property usually a bit smaller, and it allows me to provide a start to finish service.
If you need a property update or need to speak to someone who will advise and support you, then the team at HIR REALTY will make your experience a good one.
