Peter Wardhana

Words cannot describe our gratitude towards Peter for helping us purchase our first home. From the moment we met Peter, he had a vested interest in not just finding us a house, but really helping us find the perfect first home. At our first visit with him, he took time to really get to know us. He sat down to find out what we were really looking for in a home. Through the course of a few months, we looked at many homes with him. He definitely had a sense of what we liked and wanted. He was always prompt and responsive in his communications through email, phone, and even text message. Being first time home buyers, he answered all our questions and walked us through each step. He helped us in depth through the offering process, loan process, inspections, etc. He appropriately held our hand through the process and this was so welcomed and appreciated. When we finally purchased out home and moved it, he even walked around the home with us to make sure we understand safety features in a house. All in all, I can’t imagine having a better realtor. He really seems to enjoy his career and it really shows. He really loves to see people happy with their homes. His service is impeccable. If I could give him 6 stars, I would! Highly recommended!

Peter is the best in the business!!!
I have worked in Real Estate and Construction for most of my life and Peter is number one by far!!! He worked with us every step of the way making the impossible possible. Every time we would make an offer, his advise and experience was invaluable. We were up against some very tough competition but with Peter on our side and his knowledge of this area we were able to buy our beautiful home.
He came highly recommended to us and it proved to be the best advise we ever had.
Peter is the best and makes himself available to get you the home of your dreams!!!

When I bought my first house in 2004, I was recommended to use Peter by several friends. I enjoyed working with Peter then and through the years he’s helped me answer questions and give me advice regarding my home. So when it was time for my wife and I to look to purchase a new home, we decided to work with Peter.
This was the first time my wife was involved in a home purchase, so it was a little intimidating for her. Peter did a good job in our first meeting of getting to know us, our situation, and what we were looking for in a home as well as his insight on the current market environment and trends. The first time Peter took us out, how showed us about 6 properties of varying qualities. I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but it was great to get a sense of what was really out on the market, to have realistic expectations, and to learn to see how some properties might be over or under valued. Peter has a wealth of knowledge from the many years he’s been in the business, has a great eye for homes, is willing to share his insights.
The next few times we went out, Peter had a better idea of what we liked and didn’t like and we appreciated his frank and honest opinions of what we saw. Sometimes we’d walk in a property and after a couple minutes, he’d tell us that the house wasn’t a good fit for us (which we agreed) or that it wasn’t suitable for a particular reason. He’d tell us if he thought it was overpriced, which we also appreciated.
When it came time for us to put down an offer, Peter did a great job of guiding us through the process and helping us come up with a competitive bid. Unfortunately two of our offers were not accepted (we felt that the seller’s terms had some quirks or issues that we didn’t feel compelled to meet) but over the course of the 5 month process, Peter would keep us informed if he saw a potential property that might be of interest to us. When we saw a third property we wanted to put an offer on, Peter helped us construct a competitive bid and did an awesome job of advocating for us. We got our bid accepted, with much thanks to his help!
During the escrow phase, Peter continued to work with the sellers, the appraiser, and our loan officer to make things go smooth. His eagle eye caught a couple of minor issues that the home inspector didn’t even catch!
Peter was always very pleasant to work with, friendly, accommodating to the crazy work schedules of my wife and I, insightful, proactive, a good listener, an expert in his field, articulate, an advocate for us, and so much more. We never felt rushed, like he was just trying to get us to purchase something– he wanted us to find a house that we’d have no regrets about. We had friends who were looking for homes at the same time that we were and my wife and I would comment about how their process was going and how we were glad we were working with Peter. We hope to be in our new house for a very long time, but we wouldn’t hesitate to use Peter again or recommend him to any of our friends!

If they’re were 100 stars I would give Peter a 100 stars! I chose Peter based on his Unilocal reviews and I’m so glad! My boyfriend had a house that another horrible realtor wanted to short sale! Peter ended up listing the house for a regular sale and worked with us on getting the house ready. Peter guided us through the process of getting the house ready and recommended hired help when we needed to fix anything. It was a really good experience because we even made profit during this economy! Peter was honest, professional, and fun to be around during this process. We will definitely use Peter when we purchase our next home and refer him to our friends!
Peters team was also awesome through this whole experience!

I was referred to Peter through one of my best friends from high school and he recently helped us close on our first home purchase. I can not imagine going through this experience as a first-​time home buyer without Peter. I really liked how Peter first sat down with us to just get to know us as a couple and get a sense of what we were looking for before just going out to look at homes right away. We looked at over 50 homes in a 5-​month span and we really appreciated his patience and availability. We often contacted him at the last minute to see a home that had just hit the market and Peter was always available in working with our schedule to show us the homes we wanted to see. He has a great grasp and feel for the latest market trends and his experience, reputation, and expertise allowed us to ultimately beat several others out in a multiple-​offer scenario in a highly competitive market and area. We were able to close within 30 days without any issues and he made our first home purchase a smooth process with no regrets. Whenever I or a friend needs a realtor in the future, I will always request Peter first!

It is with pleasure and gratitude that we share our experience with Peter Wardhana in the purchasing of our new home.
From our very first meeting to even after our closing, Peter displayed extraordinary
professionalism, knowledge, and patience. His local market knowledge and his
relationship in the community served invaluable to us.
Peter took the time to listen to our needs and identify what was the most important to us. While we looked at different homes, he didn’t just show us the home, he provided us with excellent and constructive observations. His vast experience in this business provided a wealth of knowledge that was beyond our expectations. Peter’s expertise made purchasing our first home as easy and smooth as possible and we are extremely grateful to have been able to work with him. We would wholeheartedly recommend Peter Wardhana.

We have bought and sold several houses and Peter is the best Realtor we’ve ever had. He sold our house in 5 Canyons (Castro Valley) in four days with multiple offers above asking price and above what we thought we would be able to get based on recent comps. He knew the neighborhood and various home models very well. We had problems with both our lender and the buyer’s lender and he was able to keep the process moving forward and closed on time. Thanks Peter!

Peter helped us with the sale of our home in San Leandro, CA. His exemplary attention to detail enabled us to obtain the right price from the right buyer of our home. Although there were issues (as there always are with any home sale), Peter and his team stayed on top of the concerns/​problems/​challenges and made sure that WE received the best service possible. Peter was extremely responsive to all of our concerns and questions throughout the sale listing, negotiation, and completion. Although we had already left the area, he maintained frequent contact with us via both email and phone. I would RECOMMEND Peter most highly — and this is from someone who has sold 7 homes in the past.

My husband and I met Peter at an open house he was holding in the Five Canyon neighborhood in Fall 2011. We’ve been going to open houses around the East Bay for almost a year, every Saturday or Sunday, I will let you do the count for the number of agents we talked to. We were amazed how knowledgeable Peter was about the area, the development, the school district… he had a map of all the five canyon area with every single floor plan available which made it easy for us to narrow our search and focus on the neighborhood that has the floor plan we liked. We did not buy the house he was showing that day (it was too big for us) but we definitely wanted to have him as our agent. What we liked mostly about Peter is that he was very professional and organized. He had an answer for every question we had, he was honest and integer and never pushed us to make a rushed decision. The house we ended buying in Five Canyon was an extremely complex purchase with a lot of back and forth with the seller, the contractor hired by the seller to fix few things before closing, the agent… Peter was always patient and friendly and walked us through all the steps, making everything look very easy and stress free. During the (long)negotiation period, we had to be out of the country for a short period and then Peter also had to travel overseas, but he was always reachable even at late hours, getting back to us (or someone from his team) within the hour for any question or follow up needed with the seller. He helped us determine a realistic offer price, and was able to negotiate a significant price reduction with the seller. He also introduced us to an amazing broker who helped us with the mortgage process and to an awesome contractor that helped us do few updgrades to make the purchased house our dream house. We definitely recommend Peter and would use him for the purchase or sale of future properties.

Peter helped me and my husband purchase our first home in Castro Valley, and I have to say he is amazing. We had such a wonderful experience working with him. He was really patient with us, as we took a while to find the right home. Since we were new to the process he helped us understand all the steps involved with the home buying process and what I appreciate most is he really looked out for our best interest as buyers. Not only was he patient with us, he was very honest about the homes, schools areas etc… which I really appreciated. He wasn’t trying to sell us on homes just to make money he really wanted to see us in a home we loved, and in some cases steered us away from bad buys.
I would highly recommend Peter not only because of his experience but most of all because he is a honest, knowledge, nice and caring person to work with, who will definitely have your best interest at heart.

I just like to express the wonderful service Peter Wardhana provided for me. He sold my home in San Leandro with multiple offers within a week. Also, the purchase of my existing home went smoothly. No headaches nor regrets. With his vast experience, you would be well served with his services. Highly Recommend!

My Fiancé and I just purchased our shortsale home in 5 Canyons with Peter in October 2011. After receiving sub-​par customer service through redfin, we decided to go with Peter. Suffice it to say, as first time buyers it truly was a blessing to have Peter as our agent. Although shortsales can be challenging, our transaction was smooth.
Peter is all about customer service and satisfaction. He answered all of our questions in a professional and timely manner, and even contacted us through skype while he was out of the country. His vast experience will pay dividends as you are buying /​selling a home. He is also very accessible which is great. We also went with CMG mortgage, we got a great rate and service.
If I have another opportunity to buy /​sell a home in the future, we will be going with Peter. Again, do yourself a favor and go with Peter Wardhana.

I very highly recommend Peter Wardhana from Keller Williams Realty to represent you as a home seller or home buyer. Peter ‘s experience and knowledge of the industry and of the market are truly outstanding.
Peter recently completed the sale of our home in 5 Canyons (Castro Valley, CA). He made amazing photographs of our home to include on the websites and a beautiful virtual tour slide show. He was also extremely helpful in the staging of our home. The overall process was smooth and very well executed, with the help of his team.
Our home sold in 2 days.
He is now helping us find our next home in the Tri-​Valley area and he is continuing to show his experience, professionalism and knowledge of the industry, market and area.

Peter provided excellent customer service and went above and beyond to make sure we got our dream home. We have searched for a house for almost 2 years and he must have taken us to see over 200 homes. He continues to be very patient with us and was honest in telling us if he thinks the house is a right fit for us. Even after we have purchased the home, he takes responsibility in making sure we are completely satisfied with our purchase. I would highly recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell your home in the tri valley area!
