Bio
Born in London; reared in Dublin and a New Yorker by choice since 1990 … Peter’s first real estate purchase was in 1995 at the age of 26 – he purchased a foreclosed co-op for $ 22,000 in Sunnyside, Queens. He sold it 6 years later for almost 7 times the original purchase price.
Peter has owned co-op’s and condo’s; bought & flipped foreclosures; been a renter & landlord; served as a Treasurer on co-op and condo Boards; acted as a general contractor/developer of a four unit condo property and successfully executed a 1031 like-kind exchange. For these reasons, he can educate and advise his clients speaking from first-hand knowledge and experience.This immigrant’s American dream is alive and well and living in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. He visits a dog park every day in the shadow of the federal courthouse where he was sworn in as a US citizen. How is that for local?
Peter believes that real estate is not about location, location, location but where you are in life.
