Peter Thompson
Property Consultant
Experience tells me it's helpful to know the person who is to handle the sale of what is often your largest asset, your home. Peter is a licensed Land Agent, having completed the necessary studies some years ago and satisfying the stringent criteria the Land Agent's Board requires. Following a background in banking and two retail businesses, Peter has been committed to providing buyers and sellers with a valuable service since 1986. Almost 100% of his present business is from past satisfied clients, either their own properties or their referrals to friends wanting a highly reliable agent. Having lived in Somerton Park as a young person, attending Gelenelg Primary School and later Immanuel College, means that Peter's roots are firmly planted in the area. This is where his work is centred, but Adelaide is the '10 minute city' so he has been known to sell far and wide. Peter's client service priority works. People say "he is the only agent that contacts us!"
