Pete helped my wife and I purchase our starter home 15 years ago and then more recently our dream home 5 years ago- both in Pasadena. Over that time we have developed a personal, long lasting relationship with Pete and nary a holiday goes by that Pete still does not reach out just to hello. We would never consider going to anyone else for realty services. Even my dad, who was a tough customer indeed, was impressed by Pete's knowledge of the market, his high ethical standards as well as his genuine warmth. Pete still calls on my mother from time to time. He is a class act.

Pete was recommended to me by my friends who had recently purchased a home using Pete as a realtor. My family members have a home in Pasadena that they wanted to sell, so my goal was to interview a few realtors in the area.
Pete was pleasant on the telephone. He asked me questions about my family's goals and we talked about the market and what we each saw. My knowledge of the residential market in Pasadena is limited, so it was nice to pick his brain based on the square foot comparables and what is the reality in Pasadena. We planned for a time for my family and Pete to meet. The

Pete Whan helped my parents sell their home of 50+ years. He gave us exactly the right counsel on what to repair/upgrade, what not to repair/upgrade, had great recommendations for workers (critical for selling an elderly person's home and not spending a fortune), priced it just right, the sale time estimate and ultimate price he knew we would get were spot on (also critical) and he was so sensitive to my folks' emotional attachment to the home and handled them perfectly. He is not a realtor who does a deal and you never hear from him again - he develops the long view relationship, is
