Peter was thoughtful in his recommendations, had great knowledge about the housing market. It took us a year to find a house that met our needs and Peter never rushed us. He approached the low inventory and fast paced bidding with humor that fit right with ours! He also made great recommendations for additional services (lawyer and home inspection).

Peter is the Man!! He is very helpful and very knowledgeable about the Market. He makes me feel so comfortable around him. He is not only my broker but also a very good friend to me. I appreciate what he has done for me as I am a first time home buyer. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends who want to buy a property in Boston area!

Peter is a great realtor and partner. In the overly aggressive Boston-Metro market Peter knows how to play the game. He would turn contracts around in record speed, make himself available at any time of day or night to talk strategy and connect with other realtors involved in the transaction at any time in order to keep the deal moving forward. I really appreciated Peter's sense of urgency and willingness to come up with creative ideas to win a deal. I can't recommend him strongly enough! Well Done!

Peter was a real godsend for us. He not only had the tangible and intangible skills and sensibilities to win the offer for us, he was also a real pleasure to work with at every step. He was down to earth, frank, understanding, and quickly responsive. It seems that a good real estate agent is hard to find, but when we found Peter, we knew we had to look no further. Our experience couldn't have been better.

Peter is an absolutely outstanding realtor. He provided honest, helpful, specific insights about the condition and value of every property we considered. In at least one case, his comments convinced us not to make a bid we certainly would have regretted, even though it would have been profitable for Redfin. When we did ultimately find the right house, we knew there would be several competing offers. Peter helped us develop a multi-pronged strategy to make our offer attractive to the seller. He never pressured us to settle for anything less than the perfect house, or to spend more money than we were comfortable spending. The rest of the Redfin buyers' team is also awesome. We're grateful to Claudia and James for helping us visit the property repeatedly between contract and closing, and... Show More

He was extremely responsive and was always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. Cambridge is a very competitive market, and I firmly believe that my offer would not have been chosen had it not been for Peter's expertise and guidance.

We absolutely recommend working with Peter! His honesty and experience made him without a doubt the best realtor we've worked with. At each house we viewed with Peter he was able to point out potential trouble areas, and give us an honest and practical opinion about whether he felt the house was priced well, backing it up with solid reasoning. When it came time to make an offer on our dream home Peter guided us towards what he felt a winning bid would be, and continued to work with us in building an agreement that guaranteed us a few extras that we really loved and wanted to keep. Peter is a professional and an honest guy - you won't regret working with him.

A very good experience. I've been a party to a few RE transactions before, somve very recent, so was fairly comfortable with the process. But I was a complete newbie in this market, and Peter was very helpful in providing answers to the questions I asked, and refering me to sources of more detailed information. We had a tight timeline for submitting the offer, and he was able to finish the paperwork just in time (and after normal working hours), so that we get our chance. His 0-pressure style of providing his opinion and sharing his experience was a true treat! And the Redfin team was superb in every way as well. We had a very smooth transaction, with almost no stress whatsoever. And that says a lot about their professionalism in this crazy market.

He has great insights and was very observant about the property. There is no difference between a full service real estate agency and Redfin .

Really really helpful! We worked with Peter for almost 1 year for our house hunt and he patiently helped us look at houses all over the Boston area. As first time home buyers, we learned a lot from him. Sometimes he would be able to attend himself and sometimes would send an associate agent. He would point out if he found any issues with the potential house and also give advice on how much it would typically cost to fix it. He was never too pushy, which is an absolute must when you are taking such a big decision. If we had any questions, he made sure he got back asap. Highly recommended!!

Peter didn't have as much follow-up advice in terms of finding properties to look at, though. What we got out of our interaction was mostly a good experience extending an offer.

Peter was a pleasure to work with. I very much appreciated his points of view and his commentary. He was very helpful in pointing out potential issues with homes we were touring, which was extremely useful given that we were primarily touring very old homes which would need some work. While some agents may gloss over such concerns in favor of a house's big pluses, from Peter we heard about both.
Peter also helped guide us expertly during a prolonged negotiation process (6 months). We can't thank him enough!

Peter was there to answer our questions and provide guidance through the process. Unlike other agents I've worked with, who can't seem to give straight answers, Peter was able to give us an unbiased opinion about a whole range of subjects: from current state of the market to very specific items during our inspection and walk through. Peter was amazingly responsive to all our emails and questions. Even when he wasn't able to join us when visiting an open house, he was able to give a lot of feedback and insight just over email.

Peter is very experienced, very knowledgeable, very available. He makes great recommendations and will tell you like it is. The only reason I wouldn't give him full 10 points is that his attention to detail on paperwork matters was lacking. There were very blatant mistakes on a number of offer drafts that Peter wrote up for us and if we hadn't edited them thoroughly there would have been some problems.

This is my second time working with Peter. A little bit over a year ago I worked with Peter to buy a multifamily and he was excellent in guiding me through the first time home buying process. I am now keeping the multifamily as an investment property. When we decided to buy a single family out in the suburbs, we didn't hesitate to call Peter again after our great experience last year. Again, Peter was knowledgeable, helpful and responsive from the first moment we called all the way through closing. We would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking to buy.

Peter is an amazing agent. He was incredibly helpful throughout the whole (long!) process, and we always felt like he cared about what was best for us - not for the bottom line. He was always honest with us, and helped us understand what it takes to win in this crazy market. He is also very knowledgeable about old houses - which is very important when waiving inspections is common practice.
The only comment I'd make about him is that he prefers to converse over phone instead of email. If you are looking for a thorough and quick response, give him a call instead of emailing. Once we learned that, all our interactions exceeded our expectations! Of course he's also responsive in emails, just even more so on the phone.

From the first time we met with Peter for a home showing he was very professional and incredibly friendly. He always asked the right questions and tried to leave a positive lasting impression with the selling agent, especially if he sensed we were interested in the property.

Peter was a dream to work with. He is knowledgeable, honest, and upfront.

Not only did he address each and every one of our questions and concerns, Peter also took the time to followed up with us afterwards.
We choose to purchase a new construction home and requested customization. Peter was very honest and informed us to be prepared for a potentially bumpy ride.

Peter is the best RE Agent we have worked with. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He is detail-oriented and is quick in response to our questions or concerns. He is honest and helpful, and always looks out for our best interest. He made our buying process so smooth and stress free in this crazy market. Peter is fantastic. I highly recommend him.

We really like Peter. He is terrific! He is very professional, very knowledgeable! Most importantly, he fights for buyers. He helped us to make the whole buying process smoothly. Even his team mate is very good. They ask the right questions, looking for more detailed information about houses. If you are looking for a good real estate agent, Peter is the one to call!
Peter was great to work with. He stuck it out with us through multiple offers and some close calls. His advice was stellar and he was very knowledgable and friendly. His attention through our home buying experience made buying our first home fairly painless. He gets our highest recommendation.

We started looking for our first owned apartment in June. It was hard to find an ideal apartment under such a crazy market. Houses are sold within one week once they are listed. Before Peter and Redfin we had tried with other agents. Without the proper estimate on deal price and the understanding of "a good offer", we missed 2 ideal houses on the second or third round "offer competition". We were very upset and that time we met Peter. He really helped a lot. He is very trustworthy and careful and he pointed out the potential problems already or may exist for each property we visit. Moreover, when we finally found our loved apartment, thanks to Peter's advice, we paid lower than we initially planned to pay and still got our offer accepted. He figured out what is important in the offer... Show More

Peter is a superb real estate agent. He has many years of experience in the Greater Boston real estate market and that experience was clearly a key factor in our successfully purchasing a home. After looking for a home on and off for a few years, we had encountered many real estate agents and Peter is clearly among the top two or three we have met. We first met Peter at a Redfin orientation class. He was enthusiastic and encouraging, answering all our questions and addressing our concerns. Peter guided us through the search and the OH experiences, helping us to understand current market conditions in the Greater Boston market and what it would take to have an offer accepted. When we finally found the property we purchased, Peter was incredibly helpful in putting together an offer that... Show More

The thing I liked about Peter is his quick response. He was always available to answer question. Peter helped us through the buying process and it went smoothly.
Peter was great. He came in and took over for other agents from Redfin and made the transition virtually seamless. He made himself available to see all of the houses we wanted. He was always honest with us-- he never tried to push us and was always looking out for our best interest. He let us come to our own conclusions, with guidance where we needed it. He quickly pulled together our offer, even after we had changed our mind from making another offer in at the last minute. It's been a difficult market this year and Peter smartly suggested things to set us apart in our offer, which got us the house -- a miracle this season!

Peter gave us the sense that he was an "old pro" in the real estate biz. He did a great job turning around our last minute bid and he helped us with bidding strategies so that we got the first house we bid on in a crazy 15 bid situation. He was friendly with all the professionals involved in our deal, which definitely worked to our advantage, and he even helped us out with our home inspection, explaining all the gritty details of living in and maintaining a hundred year old house. Best of all, he negotiated us a better price when our appraisal came in low. Score!
As first time home buyers we probably could have used a little more hand-holding throughout the process, but overall we were very satisfied with Peter and our home purchase.

As a new homebuyer, I was looking for a multifamily in a very competitive market. Peter encouraged patience and waiting for the right thing to come along. When I saw something I liked, he worked with me to go from absolute zero to a submitted offer in the space of an afternoon. When we received some interest in the offer, he had good insights about what might make for a winning offer, which made the difference having the offer accepted. Being new to this process I had a ton of questions, some of which I called about at odd times, and he was always very responsive, always had an answer or an explanation, and I never felt rushed, even though I know this was a very busy time of year for agents. He gave me several recommendations for each of the services I needed to find: home inspector,... Show More

Peter was also able to assess the condition of the houses we were looking at and help us get an idea of what work the house would need and how much that may cost. For every house we looked at with Peter, Peter would take the time to go over every inch of the house with us, and for every house we put an offer in on, Peter took a lot of time to put together the best offer possible. For the house we ultimately purchased, Peter was heading away on vacation when we were looking at the house and making our offer, so Peter wasn't able to work as closely with us on that offer, but Matt took over in Peter's absence.

My father-in-law was clearly impressed with Peter after his first meeting, which believe me, says a lot. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone and everyone.

The property I wanted had multiple offers from the open house. Peter gave advice on how to approach it and my offer was accepted. We worked through a few bumps with the negotiations and the cloing went smoothly. I would recommend Redfin to anyone who is looking to buy/sell in an area. I thought they were great and took care of all the details. Peter even arranged to have the P&S emailed and docusigned so I could complete the offer while I was out of the country. Highly recommend!!

I'd reached out to Peter Phinney's help in finding an investment property in the Back Bay & South End area. He'd stood out from other brokers that I'd dealt with in that he was candid about possible problems with units that we'd viewed, didn't steer me towards any particular unit and was quick to pick up on which aspects of each units I liked. When I'd found a place that I liked, he was extremely helpful throughout the offer process - both in connecting me with mortgage brokers for financing, strategizing re: the offer price, navigating the bidding war, and throughout the process of having to withdraw from the deal.

Peter was absolutely fantastic. I had worked with two other agents during the previous months, and Peter was the first agent that I felt was actually on my side instead of just pushing for a sale. He gave honest and critical advice for the houses we visited, was knowledgeable about neighborhoods, and made suggestions on how to continue our search. We ended up purchasing a bank owned property, so I expected the final transaction be complicated and painful, but it wasn't at all. Peter and his field agent really went out of their way to make sure everything happened smoothly and on time.

We could not have had a better experience buying our first home with Peter & Redfin! Peter demonstrated a great deal of experience in the field and knew the area (JP) very well, down to the street level. He gave us advice on everything from appropriate offer prices to school districts to getting set up in our new home. He also helped us assemble a great team to complete the purchase process and was available around the clock to answer even the smallest questions. The whole process went very smoothly and was a lot less stressful than we'd anticipated. Thank you Peter!

I am first time buyer. Peter is very kind and patient to teach me. And moreover, my English is so poor. It must a hard time for Peter. I made two offers in 2 months, both of them were rejected by seller. Peter really helped a lot during this 2 months. I appreciate it. I also want to thank Bohdan, he is very warm hearted, showed me plenty of apartments.

I'm a first time homeowner and as you could imagine I had a lot of questions and had no clue what I was doing. Peter was very professional walking me through the process. He handled any obstacles or problems easily and even anticipated other roadblocks ahead of time to make this process as smooth as possible. I will definitely be using redfin in the future and specifically Peter if I stay in Boston.

We have never experienced service from anybody in any company as good as Peter's, particularly compared to other buyer's agents we have used. Even after closing, he continues to help us and feels more like a trusted neighbor at this point than our agent. He knows the local market extremely well and provided both caution and encouragement when appropriate. We would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the Boston area.

Peter was fantastic. We were first-time homebuyers, and he took us through the process step-by-step with a lot of patience. He also knew the neighborhood (Jamaica Plain) well which was helpful in our search. Overall he was a straightforward, no-nonsense agent and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Peter was extremely helpful and supportive. He was with us every step of the way right through the end. He helped us with negotiations and all of the nagging little details. Peter even did some last minute handyman tasks so we could move ahead without delay on the closing. And when our refridgerator delivery was delayed, Peter arranged for a rental for us. We felt like we had a friend in our corner.

Peter is the most efficient, patient, considerate and professional agent I have seen. I started looking for a house two years ago but never got a chance to buy one. I only knew Peter in this August when I found a property I was about to give an offer. I called the field agent Bo at night and he introduced Peter to me to take care of my case. I had a long phone conversation with him about what we wanted and how he would help us to negotiate the price. The next early morning, he sent us a market analysis for this property. He gave very accurate price estimate with appraisal analysis format. I was impressed how fast he can react to your request and very convinced by the price he suggested for initial offer. He prepared a well written letter with our initial offer. He was right and we got... Show More

Peter is the consummate real estate professional. If Peter tells you he will do something, he does it. Peter sold my house in five (5) months. He was wonderful and I would hire him again, no questions asked!!

I recently wrote a reference for Peter that accurately portrays my experience: "Peter was that consummate professional real estate agent - someone you can trust and count on to help you make the best marketing and "closing the sale" decisions. As an Attorney, Peter's legal background only enhances the credibility in facilitative decision-making process. Finally, as parent with small children and a pregnant wife at the time we were selling our condominium, Peter made the transaction seem easy. Thanks Peter!"
professional, got back to me immediately to answer every question. Knows the market and helped me to understand every decision, every step of the way. I met Peter when I bought my condo in 2002, and he was the first and only choice I made when I decided to sell in 2010. OUTSTANDING service.
My husband and I bought our first condo last year and Peter was with us every step of the way. We were not familiar with the process of buying a home, and Peter made himself available to answer all of our questions. He was very honest and we never felt like he was misleading us. He even came with us to the closing just to give us that extra peace of mind, and I greatly appreciated his guidance. When we decide to buy our next home, I will absolutely call Peter and would recommend him to any home buyer.

Peter was great to work with. He really was a variable encyclopedia of information related to real estate. I appreciate that he's an attorney (like me) and was very helpful and professional throughout. When I sell my condo in the coming years, I definitely plan to reach out to Peter.
