Meet Pete

Whether your goal is to invest, buy your first home, or transition out of an old home, I value the opportunity to build a relationship and walk alongside you throughout the process.

I have been invested in the real estate industry for the past 7 years. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in Consumer and Family Financial Services.

During my tenure at OSU I also began pursuing the trade skills of home remodeling. With aspirations to invest in real estate, I gained experience performing carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, managing contractors and budgeting projects. I continued on to get my real estate license, not only to further my investment pursuits, but to help others achieve their real estate goals and have confidence in the transaction.

By combining financial insight, construction knowledge, and real-world experience, I guide my clients through competitive markets with strategy, transparency, and results they can trust.

Based out of Columbus, Ohio, I service all Ohio markets. Interested in getting started? Fill out a contact form below!

Testimonials

  • "I recently had the pleasure of working with Pete in purchasing my first home, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, Pete's friendly demeaner and professionalism stood out, making the process of buying a home as smooth and stress-free as I could reasonably hope for, while aiding me in feeling confident and informed every step of the way. When it came to answering all of my questions, Pete displayed patience and willingness to address all my questions and concerns as a first-time homebuyer, whether it be related to the individual strucutral components of a house, or the details of what writing an offer on a house looks like and how to make a more competitive offer. Pete also took the time to understand exactly the criteria I was looking for in a home I was searching for, developing an understanding of the pros and cons in any property we were looking for, and articulating them in a conversational manner seamlessly. Addtionally, as a first time home buyer new to the process, I definitely asked some of my questions multiple times in different ways, and Pete never once made me feel like I was a burden, always taking the time to thoroughly explain an answer in a concise and clear way I could understand. Communication was key throughout the homebuying journey, and Pete excelled in this area. He was responsive to my texts and calls, ensuring that no query went unanswered and that I was always kept in the loop. Despite what I am sure was managing multiple clients in various stages of the homebuying process, I never once felt like I was competing for his attention, and if he was ever providing top-notch customer service to another one of his clients, it never got in the way of him addressing my needs in a reasonable timeline. Regardless of any external obligations, whether they were mine or his, Pete always prioritized our appointments and swiftly facilitated any necessary actions, such as setting up showings, responding to questions I would text, calling me for more detailed conversations as needed, and drafting offers promptly (as well as answering my questions on what any and every part of an offer entailed). In conclusion, Pete's exceptional service, responsiveness, and clarity in answering my questions made my first homebuying experience a memorable and enjoyable one. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in search of a real estate agent to delivers results with genuine care and professionalism."

  • "Pete did a great job guiding us through the process. We hadn’t been in the real estate market since 1998 and we were buying from outside of the Columbus area. He was very responsive and helped us get a deal that was good for us and the seller."

  • "My spouse and I worked with Pete to purchase our very first home, and we couldn't recommend him more! Pete was knowledgeable, responsive, and made us feel very confident in the buying process. He went above and beyond to make our experience as easy and painless as possible. Pete is humble and approachable, which made us feel very comfortable contacting him for any reason, big or small. And as a bonus, Pete's background and knowledge in home renovation added a tremendous amount of value to the whole buying process!"

  • "Pete was the best homebuying experience and guide during the process that me and my wife could’ve ever wanted! He was not pushy or self invested during the process and respected the fact that me and My Wife wanted to take a few months to really wait for the right house to come to us rather than trying to sell every house that came across his feed. When the right house did come across, he was able to get us immediately on the radar of the sellers and when the first buyers who had gone into contract fell through, the house fell to us. Thanks to Pete we were able to land the home of our dreams at a price that we were very happy with! Pete was consistently available and helped facilitate the entire process, and we felt very secure in his capable hands. Even when issues came up with lenders, Pete remained A valuable resource who let us know what was reasonable to expect and what was predatory behavior and advocated on our behalf and made us continue to feel very supported and knowledgeable, even as this was our first homebuying process. We would highly recommend him to any homebuyer, whether it is your first time or repeat. He will answer all of your questions and truly wants the best for each of his clients. His integrity is rare and something that we will continue to appreciate and certainly anticipate using him again in the future."

  • "Pete is the best realtor I’ve ever worked with!!! He was quick on response no mater the time of day and was willing to help you out no matter what. After our final walk through the dishwasher wasn’t draining and he brought his own snake and gloves to try and fix it for me. I will be using Pete for every house I buy moving forward and could bot recommend him any higher."

  • "Working with Pete was an absolute pleasure and a true bright spot in our home-buying journey. From day one, he was incredibly responsive, communicative, and on top of every detail. We toured countless homes together and made several offers in a very competitive Columbus-area market. Pete never lost patience and always brought a calm, professional, and flexible approach. I was based two hours away during most of the search, so weekends were often the only time I could travel to see homes—and Pete always made it work, even on short notice. I know for a fact he made personal sacrifices to accommodate my schedule, and I really appreciated that level of dedication. What really stood out was his ability to offer creative, strategic advice that went beyond just increasing the offer price. Thanks to his guidance, we ultimately landed a beautiful home in Gahanna—and even managed to get it for about $8K under asking! That kind of win is rare in this market, and it wouldn’t have happened without Pete’s expertise. Cherry on top: even after closing, Pete continues to be a great resource. His background in contracting and home rehabbing has been incredibly helpful—he’s already connected me with trusted professionals for some upcoming projects at the new place."

  • "I had an outstanding experience working with Pete on the purchase of my investment property. From start to finish, he was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me make the right decision — never rushing or pressuring me at any point in the process. What stood out the most was his true consultative approach. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in an investment property and guided me through each option with clear pros and cons. His market insights, renovation experience, and attention to detail helped me evaluate properties not just as a buyer, but as a long-term investor. Throughout the search, he was always available to answer questions, explain the process, and provide honest feedback. Even when it meant walking away from certain homes, he supported those decisions without hesitation — proving he was focused on the right property, not just making a sale. Thanks to his professionalism and support, I ended up with the ideal investment home and felt confident every step of the way. I highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a real estate partner who is patient, zero-pressure, trustworthy, and truly invested in your success."
