PURCHASED! Nakara

We have recently purchased this unit at Nakara.

TESTIMONIAL: "Residing in Darwin wasn’t much help when trying to locate a high performing investment property in the current competitive market. By utilising Tod’s 30 years experience in the industry, I quickly secured a great property in a much sought after area. Not only that, but also eliminated any competition when Tod effectively secured a property that hadn’t even hit the market yet. To top it off, we secured at nearly $50k less than market value!

At our first meeting we discussed my investment criteria and Tod was able to identify a suitable property very quickly. Tod develops a good rapport and was good to deal with.

Tod enabled me to stop thinking it would be a good idea to buy an investment property and make it happen. I am a busy professional with little spare time, and previously I had no time to spend the hours of follow-up required to research and inspect properties after reading the real estate Ads in the NT News on the weekends."

PURCHASED! Nakara

We have recently purchased this unit at Nakara.

TESTIMONIAL: "When buying our first home, we had to consider a long term view, a well placed house that would grow as our family would. When a friend personally recommend Tod’s services, it made sense, allowing us to be secure in the knowledge that this huge decision was an informed one. Tod did all the dealing, negotiating directly, found us a great family home in a great area. This allowed us to take timely advantage of the first home buyers incentive, combined with Tod’s negotiating we saved nearly $15k."

PURCHASED! Sergison CCt Rapid Creek

We have recently purchased this unit at Parap.

TESTIMONIAL: "Buying interstate can be a nerve racking task. Having only visited Darwin once (about 10 years ago) made it even worse. Why risk buying something that may be in the wrong part of town, or with some unforeseeable problem? I found Tod to be quick, efficient, also easy to get in touch with and deal with and for a small investment (compared to the price of the property) it was well worth while. I expect that the service provided by Todd will pay off ten times over with the property I have secured."

PURCHASED! Parap

We have recently purchased this unit at Parap.

TESTIMONIAL: "The combination of record low interest rates, generous Government incentives, high rental returns, low vacancy rates and a buoyant local economy with positive outlook were all key factors in my decision to invest in residential investment property in the Darwin market. However, these same factors also mean the market is very competitive, particularly in my target price range. Furthermore, not being a Darwin resident puts one at a distinct disadvantage when looking to enter this market. That’s where having someone on the ground that knows the local market and who will actively operate in your best interest tips the balance back in your favour.

I could have attempted my own property search remotely, but without the necessary inside local knowledge that could have been disastrous, and would have required a number of trips to Darwin, as well as dealing with a number of second parties. Alternatively, engaging local seller’s agents would not have guaranteed impartiality or access to the wider market. Using Peterson’s Property Search delivered a service that provided more than just an unbiased property search. Tod Peterson was able to exploit his local market knowledge to identify locations with the best prospects, including inside information on factors that may influence future returns in a particular area. His service was further enhanced by the added value of Tod’s advice on different matters, including selecting a conveyancing and property management agent, as well as being proactively engaged in the whole process from candidate property identification, evaluation, negotiation and contract execution through to liaising with other parties on my behalf.

Peterson’s Property Search has definitely made the whole exercise of investing in Darwin’s property market far easier than I initially anticipated, principally due to Tod Peterson’s dedicated service to his clients."

TESTIMONIAL: "I am a young NT miner, fly in and fly out and a first home buyer. I had no time, and no experience looking for property so I engaged the services of Petersons Property Search. Tod Peterson found a property just what I was looking for, secured it at a very good price and in a timely fashion, his advice was spot on. I felt secure Tod was looking after my investment interest throughout the process. I have had a hassle free, no stress experience and have referred Peterson’s Property Search to my friends and relatives."

PURCHASED! Brinkin

We have recently purchased this unit at Brinkin.


TESTIMONIAL: "As a first-time property investor/homebuyer I came to Tod for peace-of-mind that I was purchasing the right property. I am also a FIFO worker and whilst I had been scanning the property pages in Darwin for several months, I found that I didn't have the time to pursue things much further, and also that the properties I was interested in were getting snapped up very quickly. Before I even signed up with Tod's services he was on the hunt for a suitable property for me! Within days he had found a couple of properties to both of our liking though probably not something I would have picked for myself initially. We were able to secure this property within a couple of weeks and I was very happy with the purchase. Not only was it leased out for a good rate of return which would help me pay off my mortgage quickly and also proved to be a good investment, we were able to purchase the property below the advertised price. I would highly recommend Tod's services to anyone wanting to buy property in Darwin without the hassle or worry of trying to do it alone."

PURCHASED! Stuart Park

We have recently purchased this unit at Stuart Park.

TESTIMONIAL: "I recently used the services of Peterson’s Property Search in acquiring a residential unit in Darwin.

As I live and work in the north west of WA I was reluctant to use up my annual leave to travel to Darwin to spend weeks hunting on the ground myself for a suitable property.

During discussions with Tod I set out my parameters in terms of my target property characteristics and my price range.

I found that Tod was very proactive in immediately setting out to locate and inspect properties within my criteria.  He provided a great deal of useful information as well as his personal perspective on the properties including emailing back photographs that he had taken during the inspections.

I often travel through remote locations in my work and can be outside ‘phone service during the day or for longer periods.  Tod was always very diligent in returning my calls and made himself available at the times when I was free to contact him.

Not only during the search for my property but also afterwards in assisting with organising the conveyancing, pre sale and rental inspections and suchlike Tod maintained regular contact.  He kept an eye out for me and continually liaised on my behalf with the other parties, relaying updates to me on the progress of the purchase and settlement.

The end result was that Tod secured on my behalf a property within my criteria and price range that I am very pleased with.  I am happy to recommend Peterson Property Services and if I were in the position of searching for another property in Darwin I would have no hesitation in using Tod's services again."

Although our needs are quite particular, Tod has persevered and found a number of suitable properties. Tod’s commitment to understanding his client’s needs and keeping them informed every step of the way is noteworthy. Peterson’s Property Search provides a unique service to those who are serious about buying and want someone who knows the market, the real estate game, and is acting only in the interests of them - the buyer."

PURCHASED! Mosec Street

TESTIMONIAL: "We knew we wanted the property as soon as we saw it, and wanted to give ourselves the best chance to secure it. The fact that it was going to auction while we were overseas should have posed a big problem, however we were successful on the day due to Tod’s assistance.

From the time we enlisted Tod’s help he was professional, committed and made us feel as though we were in safe hands. He constantly communicated with us in the weeks leading up to auction, and we were on the phone with him when the hammer fell. Tod’s knowledge of the market and industry was very valuable, as was his ability to be calm & rational during what was a very stressful time for us!

We were well aware that properties in this area of Darwin rarely hit the market, and that if we missed out we may have to wait some time to find another. Thanks to Peterson’s Property Search, Tod helped us move into our dream home, and not the other bidders!"
