A quality I look for in people I do business with or hire as an employee. I have known Pete for many years now and and know him to be inherently honest and hard working. In my business I need people who will tell me the truth and get the job done. That is Pete. I can always count on him." June 21, 2008

I have known Pete Cullen personally for more than five years. In addition to being a trusted friend, he has been an excellent real estate agent. He helped me find and purchase my first investment property and we are in the process of looking for another. 

His knowledge of the local market, including neighborhoods and economic conditions, in addition to his extensive construction background, has made him a valuable resource. As such, I have referred him to several family members and friends, for which he was able to find excellent properties.  

I would be pleased to recommend Pete for anyone looking for an experienced, trustworthy realtor.

Sincerely,

Michelle Doughty

When we were ready to buy a new house and ran into Pete Cullen we realized that we had found the perfect buyer's agent.   The subsequent few months proved that assertion to be correct.

Pete is one of those rare, at least these days, people who care about genuine quality service and following up with the details.  When we started our hunt we weren't sure on the type of property or area we were looking for.  Pete was patient and we never felt any pressure from him to ‘close the deal'.  He was quite forthright when he didn't think a property was suitable and never pushy.  In the end we found the perfect place and Pete closed the transaction very quickly and easily.   Pete's background in Construction management prior to real estate is a blessing to the buyer - not only can he offer ad-hoc inspection advice, but when it comes to inevitable fix-ups or repairs he can instantly get you set up with quality contractor.

He is also somebody we now consider a friend.

Highly recommended.  Thanks Pete!

- Paul & Kristina, Aptos

"I can't speak to Pete's real estate expertise as Pete and I haven't worked together in that capacity, but here is what I can say... I've known Pete for ten years. Where we have spent the most time together is on the bow of a sailboat. If you've never sailed, what you learn about someone in that arena is about their character. Here is what I can say about Pete: Pete's got your back. Always willing to chip in and help, he's a committed team player and a clear communicator. He approaches every situation with an intent to do thorough, quality work. Embracing any challenge that surfaces, Pete always makes the extra effort and guarantees success.

Based on my knowledge of Pete's character, I would confidently engage Pete as a real estate agent and I am positive he would do a professional job." May 21, 2008
