'We Got $20,000 Off The Asking Price For a Two Bedroom Unit...'

I called Tod after I wasn't getting anywhere with looking for an investment property in Darwin. I was wanting to buy off the plan for a new unit, but the prices people were asking for for what you ended up with, was too much. In a week, he had found a few comparable choices and took me to see them. Tod dealt directly with the developer, and we got $20,000 off the asking price for a two bedroom unit in Rapid Creek.

Tod is even organising a rent appraisal on the unit so that I can be sure its being advertised for the right price after completion. Tod has kept communication flowing, even though things have been very busy my end - Thank God for message bank and emails!

I would recommend Tod to those that are time poor and want quick action - and made the process very trouble free. The hardest thing I'm finding in the whole process, is waiting for the unit to be finished so I can  see my new property!' - Rachel Dixon
'He Secured Us An Off-Market House - Perfect For Us And At a Very Good Price...'

My wife and I were a bit apprehensive looking for our first home to buy. We didn't know much about the whole process, and we were worried about being ripped off by a real estate agent looking after the interests of the seller, not the buyer. Thankfully we found Tod at Peterson's Property Search.

His behind-the-scenes knowledge of the Darwin market secured us an off-market house - perfect for us and at a very good price. He liaised with the sellers on our behalf and managed to get several expensive engineering reports included in the sale price. The amount of time he put in over the course of the settlement was just fantastic. We are more than happy with Tod and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the Darwin area!' - Peter Meyer

'The Exact Type and Location of Property We Were Seeking...'

My husband and I were advised to purchase property in one of three locations in Australia that were earmarked for a strategic retirement portfolio investment. Darwin being one of those locations, we were happy to be introduced to Tod Peterson, who has sound knowledge of the Darwin market.

Tod's dynamic style and energy ensured we were involved and consulted extensively at each stage of the search. We live remote, so this could have been complex but Tod made the operation as smooth as if we had been right there on the spot. We were thrilled to find, from a carefully prepared selection, the exact type and location of property that we were seeking and Tod negotiated to secure it for a competitive price.

We recommend him to buyers, particularly busy people, people who are not able to do extensive and time-consuming legwork, or those with limited knowledge of the Darwin property market. On a personal note, we both found Tod to be an extremely pleasant person with whom to do business. Thanks, Tod.'  - Lynda Pascoe
