When estate agents talk about local knowledge I like to think mine is right up there with the best as I have lived in Rustington all my life.

It’s a wonderful village which is a great place to live, work and raise kids (I’m a father of two) and there’s a real sense of community and plenty to do.

I’ve been described by clients as ‘not a typical estate agent’ which I’m pleased with. My approach to helping people sell and buy property is simple.

I’m patient and hardworking and not at all pushy. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions people can make. And the last thing they want is a pushy estate agent hassling them to make a decision.

One of the most memorable moments in my estate agency career to date was when a lady insisted I handle her sensitive property sale because two of her friends had highly recommended me.

Away from the office (although I never really switch off) I’m a keen golfer and love spending time with my family especially Friday Film Nights with my son.

I came across Cooper Adams during my time working locally and was always impressed by how they did things. When the opportunity came along to work for an agency that is a genuine trendsetter in how they do things I jumped at the chance.

It’s a great team across all three offices who all work together really well and the only thing I wouldn’t share with them is my secret (well now not so secret) love of Country and Western music.

Pete’s Property Tip: When you’re putting your home up for sale be available.

By that I mean always aim to accommodate a viewing wherever possible. At Cooper Adams, we accompany all viewings and it’s always good for a seller to be able to let viewings happen, sometimes at short notice.

We always give as much notice to vendors as possible but sometimes potential buyers are on tight schedules so a flexible, available approach pays dividends.

I’ve seen this on many occasions when a person walking into an agency office asking for an immediate viewing turns out to be a well-positioned and serious buyer.
