Dustin A. Peters ... Beach Notes
Use this section to write about yourself - don't be shy - Why should a buyer or seller want to work with you? Do you have any certifications and qualifications? What sets you apart from other agents/loan officers?
I have been a real estate agent working in a highly specialized resort market in Ocean City, New Jersey ... the largest year-round South Jersey shore community ... since 1993. My involvement in "Active Rain" only began in mid-December, 2008 ... but as a former educator; my training and inclination is to teach, to prepare, to have the individual learn ... so I have brought that with me to my second career real estate.
I am a retired high school principal from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania having spent 32 years in public education teaching in all three levels: elementary, middle school, and high school. My school/administrative career provided me with some special skills that have assisted me in the real esatate field: in particular ... negotiations, writing, and interpersonal skills.
I have been involved in both residential sales and summer rentals throughout my real estate career. I live, work, and specialize in the northern part of the barrier island that is identified as Ocean City ... specifically the Northend and the Gardens. Having done that, I know just about everything about the area from Sixth Street north to the end of the island.
I have taken an active role with the Ocean City Board of Realtors starting as the Orientation & Education Committee Chair, later teaching "The Code of Ethics" workshops to all new members (which I continue to do). I am starting my 4th year as a Board member for OCBOR with committee roles in Education, Public Relations, and Strategic Planning. I am also on the Professional Standards Committee and serve as a Mediator for the Ocean City Board.
This second career in real estate has special meaning to me, and I view it much more than a job. It's become a "lifestyle commitment" living and working in this resort market here in Ocean City, New Jersey. When I considered making this change fairly early in my fifties, I felt "gray hairs" would probably enjoy working with another "gray hair." As I recently told my wife, it now may be "balding/thinning" buyers and owners might like working with "similar real estate agents." I certainly go the extra mile with all my clients ... I truly value the client relationship with my goal being to "Personalize the Client Relationship."
It is hard not to be active in Ocean City. As I tell clients, renting, buying, or owning in Ocean City is more than an investment, it is a lifestyle change. I am a walker, a biker, and a tennis player ... walking my 10,000 steps and more per day, biking around my living and working area (Northend & Gardens) actually passing all of my sale listings many times a week, and continuing to have the touch for a great forehand lob in doubles matches to win the point.
I'm also a Journal writer, a writer for selected magazines, and a mystery writer trying to do my 100+ words a day before most people think about getting up. But I'm not to busy to provide you with the kind of professional advice in real estate that you should expect. Expectations, relationships, and reputation are what it is all about.
Most Buyers coming into Ocean City are looking for a second home or investment property. Our part of the island has enough variety to provide you with single family properties in one of the most residential sections of Ocean City ... but also offers a variety of sizes, shapes, locations, and prices of condominium properties which is often "the starting point for many Buyers.
If you are an Owner in the Northend or Gardens, you have probably already heard my name, or we have met as I make my rounds throughout this end of the island. If you're thinking about selling your property, or simply want some reliable information regarding its value; I'm the person you want to contact. I value this experience which always further inhances my skills and knowledge.
Living and working in Ocean City has changed my life. I am an advocate for the community, and I value the opportunity to work with new people to the island ... sure, I'd like to sell you a property; but more than that ... I would like you to discover the opportunities that I have experienced here as well.
So whatever your "Buying or Selling Need," I have done it as a Buyer and an Owner and an Agent ... My wife and I purchased a second home, we purchased an investment property, we relocated to Ocean City, and although "not retired," I did retire and move to Ocean City ... but I immediately started a full time second career whereby I have worked with many Buyers and Sellers "buying, renting, listing, marketing, and selling" shore properties in Ocean City, New Jersey.
