Pete Whan Real Estate Broker - Pasadena, California

Robert R.

Mr. Whan is the epitome of the business professional. He is hard working, dedicated, ethical, and loyal. During the 61 days of selling my grandfather's home, Pete fought to give my grandfather everything he asked for. My grandfather requested a "no-lower-than" net profit and Pete not only made that happen but was able to give my grandfather $29,068.59 more. During the entire process, Pete maintained constant communications, 7 days a week and at any hour set by us. Whenever updates or offers were made, he quickly reached out. When problems or concerns arose, Pete not only informed us but provided his recommended solutions to correct the problems or concerns. There were times during the selling process that we met with difficult buyers (or their agents). Some tried to take advantage of the market and the home's condition to benefit themselves and reduce my grandfather's profit. Pete said no to these tactics and fought to keep all negotiations fair and honest while protecting my grandfather. Pete was not the only professional party that we interacted with, but his staff was too. They kept us up to date with all communications, escrow updates, and timelines as changes were made. Without a doubt, Pete's knowledge, honor, tactics, and techniques are beyond reproach. My grandfather and I didn't feel like we had a real estate broker on our team, we felt like we had a caring family member ready to go to the ends of the Earth to help us. Pete cares about his clients, so much so, that when my grandmother passed away during the selling process, he ensured we were not bothered with unurgent updates and paperwork, even attending my grandmother’s funeral to pay respects to her and my family for our loss. Even now, after our home was sold, he continues to remain in contact with us to see how our family is doing, not talking about business, but keeping it personal. It is because of our interactions with Pete Whan that I highly recommend having him on your team as a buyer or seller. Without a doubt, Pete and his team will work hard for you!

Pete is a compassionate and caring professional who is here to help you not only find your house, but is a presence and valuable resource long after you have cleared escrow. After losing my home in the Eaton fire, Pete was not only quick to offer contacts and resources to help me make decisions, but he was (and remains) generally concerned for the well-being of his clients, willing to help wherever he can.

I have a large extended family and we have used Pete Whan to sell three of our family’s houses over the last 5-10 years. This month, Pete helped my elderly uncle sell his house. Pete was very respectful & responsive to my uncle’s needs and questions. He met with my uncle (and 2 of his nieces) on three separate occasions, and was patient when he needed to repeat himself in order to make sure my uncle understood what Pete was saying.
He provided information from the real estate market to help my uncle decide the price of the residence. Pete was responsive to all emails & telephone calls concerning any questions we may have.
Pete had a fair commission price and was upfront with different scenarios concerning how his commission price would change-Ex. If the family found the buyer (neighbor), or if Pete found the buyer.
We will definitely use Pete Whan in the future for our real estate needs.. Thank you.

Pete Whan is truly your realtor for life. I have known him for about 20 years and he sold my parents', my cousin's and my uncle's homes over the past 8 years. His knowledge of the market is exceptional which means he prices homes perfectly to maximize the selling price. He also is adept at suggesting a bit of work (or none) that will support the top selling price. It is always a difficult prospect to sell a long time family home and Pete is aware of this and addresses this issue with sensitivity and patience. Also, many realtors will sell your house (or help you buy) never to be heard from again. Pete stays in touch, has recommended contractors, other workers, provided valuation assessments of my home and is invested in all of his clients. I cannot recommend Pete enough.

I really enjoyed working with Pete. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and he made the job of selling a house stress-free. He gave weekly video updates on the sale of House which I enjoyed having. His personality was very calming and self assuring I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell a house in Pasadena.

Pete was great. He is knowledgeably about the business. He is patient and explained all the details to me that I could understand and be confident about investing in my new home.

We both sold and bought a house with Pete and couldn't be happier with the results. With the sale of my father's home, Pete was very helpful with advising us on how to prepare the house for sale and how to price the house. He assisted us every step of the way. He priced the home just right, bringing in multiple offers, a number of them over asking. The escrow company he recommended we use was excellent as well.

We'd also never bought a home before, but once we were ready to do so, we called Pete to help us again. He provided the same excellent service, advising us on pricing in the neighborhood and guiding us through the buying process. He stayed in close communication with us throughout negotiations and escrow, even though we started the process during the winter holiday. I highly recommend Pete Whan as both a seller's and a buyer's agent.

Pete and Jessica helped me find my first home, a place to call my own. I needed a lot of help with navigating the process, but they got me to the finish line! Wholeheartedly recommended!
