We found the staff at Peter Lees Launceston to be nothing but helpful.  As we were moving from NSW it wasn't possible for us to view the property prior to leasing it.  Peter Lees Real Estate was by far the most organised and helpful real estate agency we dealt with.  We were kept in contact with over the application period - not once did we have to call.  All responses were prompt.  Everyone we spoke to was really friendly.  We will definitely recommend Peter Lees Real Estate to anyone looking to rent in Tasmania.

Just a note of thanks for the real estate information you have been sending us, it is always of interest and in due course we hope to buy further property through Peter Lees Real Estate - and while we are writing to you, may we again thank all concerned for the superlative service you always give us in looking after our initial and small investment.

In particular we would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tireless assistance that Ms Helen Ryan renders. There have been too many instances to mention specifically. Her help, advice and happy personality would be most welcome to a Launceston investor, but bearing in mind our distance from Tasmania (we presently live in W.A.) it sure makes all the difference to us.

With best wishes to all,

Ardan and Wendy McGuinness

I’d recently had positive dealings with Vicki when assisting a family member with a property matter so when Vicki advised me of a property that might be of interest I was quick to investigate.

The property was being marketed as a silent auction. Vicki ensured I understood how the process would work, and while she assisted me through the process she also represented the seller by working to achieve the maximum sale price without being pushy, knowing this could drive me and other prospective buyers away.

Vicki’s experience in the industry was evident from the way she worked with all parties throughout the process to achieve the desired outcome. She was wonderful to work with and I’d have no hesitation in working with her again in the future.

Thank You, Polly

I selected Peter Lees to list my home based on their marketing technique and the rapport I quickly developed with Vicki. Their technique appealed to me as I wanted to avoid the use of open homes and potentially excessive advertising costs. Through her knowledge of local buyers Vicki was able to focus her efforts on genuine buyers rather than having hordes of people shown through my home.

Throughout the process Vicki worked closely with me and my family, and prospective buyers, to ensure all parties were happy with the outcome. While I hadn’t been optimistic of a sale (given my past experiences with selling real estate) Vicki sold my property for a price that exceeded my expectations within weeks of it going on the market. Vicki was a pleasure to work with.

Thank You, Margot

Your ads on 7LA had driven me mad for years. Out of pure frustration I thought we had nothing else to lose but to give Peter Lees Real Estate a try. 3 other agents for one house, one other for another house, nearly $3000 later we have a sale on a property. I consider both the homes would be relatively easy homes to sell.

Joe listened, he took time, any feedback he gave was honest and supportive (NOT BY SMS) which appears to be common practice now with other agents. Joe and the team came through with a sale within weeks of taking over Harold Street, because of the reduction to our cash flow, as we have had 2 properties empty for months. Ainslie Gve had to be rented, the rental department have been wonderful and I am sure given time Joe will sell this property also.

I have many horror stories (as I think you refer to them as) but I have again learnt that you never say never. I cannot see us ever dealing with another real estate other than Peter Lees and Joe in the future.

Anon.

I don't know how we could ever thank Joe and also Larrisa for all they did in getting us into our first home. I spoke to Joe on monday the 9th March 2009, which was a public holiday! This was my first impression and from that day on Joe couldn't have been more helpful. I first spoke to Joe about another property and it was then he told me about Lennox Street. To make a long story short, we looked at this property on the 15th of March and Joe had us moved in by the 15th of April.

From what I can gather from hearing other peoples stories this was an extremely fast process and what makes it even more extraordinary for us is that Josh and I got married on the 4th of April.

With a lot of help from Joe we had everything in the bag and organised before the wedding, which meant we could go on our honeymoon and not worry about a thing. Thank you so much!!!

Buying your first home is a very daunting experience but I could not have done it without Joe's help. He took time out to come to our home and explain everything on a sunday evening. He was always keeping us up to date anytime something happened and went out of his way to make this process as smooth as he could for us!

Yours Kindly, Alice Burr

We found Joe to be very friendly and considerate. He went out of his way to guide us through our sale of Bulwer Street, Longford. This same professional service was also outstanding when we purchased 429 Pateena Road. Joe was like a friend not an agent. He liked to have cups of tea and sit and discuss any problems we might have and was only too happy to suggest ways to help.

We were extremely happy with the way Joe handled our business. Anytime Joe wishes to call in he is most welcome!

Thanks Joe

Yours Faithfully,

Tamsen and Danny Bishop

Joe is a very pleasant and capable agent who has my full confidence.

Joe has been on the ball the whole way through my recent sale when actually to be frank I was having difficulty getting this property even handled. I live overseas which means I am unable to do anything but rely on the agent. He has been extremely thorough, explaining each step and development in great detail so I have been apprised of the situation all the way along.

Joe was also patient with me and dealt with my concerns and issues very professionally and in the end negotiated a fair price in a rather slow rural area and market. I can happily recommend his services to any potential vendor.

Regards Paddy

We write to convey our appreciation for the work done by Paula Coote which resulted in the prompt sale of our house. Paula’s appraisal indicated that her price was realistic and in line with our own estimate. The regular phone and personal contacts kept us fully informed. This was important to us and at no time did we feel left out of the process.

We felt comfortable with the way the escorted inspection appointments were handled. Feedback after each inspection kept us informed. The end result fully met our expectations.

This is the third house we have sold through your company and the professional service provided to us once again, was much appreciated.

Please pass on our thanks to all involved in your organisation. We will not hesitate to recommend the service you offer to our family and friends.

Your Sincerley, Bob & Audrey Partridge

We have sold and brought a few properties but this as our first time dealing with Peter Lees Real Estate, and how lucky were we!. Yep that's right we were fortunate enough that Vicki was sent out to us. Vicki is the most professional, enthusiastic person. She is an absolute gem and a credit to the Peter Lees team and we can't thank her enough.

Mel and Chris Cherry

My partner and I were extremely happy with the service given to us from Peter Lees Real Estate, we were not harassed nor did we feel pressured to make a decision, hurried, unlike other real estates, we were given the space to look at properties in our own time and any problems/queries we had were attended to straight away and with ease.

Overall, we were very pleased and we will not only use Peter Lees Real Estate again but we will recommend you to our friends and family.

Holli Chester

I am truly grateful for the quick sale of my house. Vicki worked hard to achieve an adequate price in the uncertain economic climate and I am more than pleased with the outcome. I recommend Peter Lees Real Estate to any buyer or seller.

Very many thanks to you for the beautiful hamper of goodies.

Margaret Walsh

With the purchase of our new home, Peter Lees Real Estate were very friendly and professsional with all dealings and correspondance. It was a pleasure to do business with them.

P.S Kim and I enjoyed your basket of goodies.

Regards, Mitch and Kim

I was happy with the service received during the 12 months through Peter Lees Real Estate. Everyone was friendly, professional and helpful.

Should Peter Lees open an office in Hobart I would gladly use your services again.

Thank You,

Sylvia Sieger

I had a bad experience with a previous tenant but Peter Lees quickly found a responsible new tenant to look after my investment.

A complete investment property management package that allows me to focus on my other business interests, knowing my property is in capable hands.

Peter Lees quickly returned my call to arrange a meeting to discuss managing my property and they gave me great advice about ways I could finish the property to achieve a maximum weekly return for my investment property.

An empty rental property is bad for my cash flow and Peter Lees successfully found a suitable tenant within 1 week.

Thanks, Josh Noble

In a very difficult market, I could not have asked for more!!

Jonathon is an excellent communicator who provides regular updates when there are things happening. Jonathons honesty in market conditions and the saleability of your home really help in understanding your own expectations.

I could not thank him enough for his enthusiasm and other personal attributes that help you know you are in very capable hands.

Jonathon comes with my highest recommendations if you are looking to sell a house. A massive thank you.

Regards, Mathew Kenna

We have tried many agents over the years and have found the Jenman style of selling as used by Peter Lees to have the best outcome for me, the vendor.

Peter Lees representatives Paula and Joe used the Jenman method to secure us for more than expected for our home sales. Paula sold three properties and achieved great results each time. I would not hesitate to have Paula appraise or sell any property anywhere.

R. Welton

As a purchaser from another state, Michael’s service has been exemplary. When we indicate interest in a property he gives us an honest appraisal to enable us to make a fully informed decision. He always follows up on our enquiries and understands our needs as investors.

R & D Curtis

We purchased our first property in Tasmania, in Newnham, in 2003 with the help of Michael. In 2004 we purchased a second at Rosevears, once again with the help of Michael. In pursuance of a portfolio of properties we purchased a third property at Mowbray, once again with the help and advice of Michael and the office team. This purchase was in 2005 and all three properties have been rented to quality tenants found by the team at Peter Lees.

Our most recent purchase is in Rocherlea and the tenant is described by our leasing agent, Helen Ryan, as a ‘darling’ tenant. Michael Ukhoff facilitated this purchase for us and once again we were well pleased with his help and advice.

The quality of the advice we have been given by Michael and the supporting office staff at Peter Lees Real Estate, has ensured our continued return and ongoing use of their first class services.

D. Curtis

Michael was always happy to answer my questions when I was purchasing this property and always got back to me in a timely manner.

Your office staff have been nothing but helpful and efficient – many thanks.

N Dubecki

Rebecca is a credit to the Peter Lees team. Thank you so much for everything Rebecca, you made a process that could be quite stressful into something that couldn’t have been easier. Thank you for your hard work and professionalism.

J. Hollister

Chris Murray

The great shame of the 3 years through which we rented from Peter Lees was that we rarely had a reason to visit the office and see the lovely staff.

The service was Always professional, friendly and reliable.

S. Murphy

Karen was very courteous and helpful at our inspection and all questions answered at the time suggesting excellent knowledge of business.

S. Yapp

We have been dealing with Peter Lees Real Estate for the past 3 years and found all the staff friendly and helpful whenever we made contact. More recently we had our house in Waverley sold by Peter Lees and in particular got to meet and deal with Jonathon Jessup, who sold our house within the price range needed and in the time we gave.

We found Jonathon to be a good natured, quiet spoken young man who was attentive, helpful and made himself available to us on short notice. He let us make our own decisions without any pressure,ever, and always presented himself professionally, yet friendly and enthusiastic.

Thanks, R. Kirsopp

Jonathon Jessup of Peter Lees Real Estate recently listed our 5 units and sold them for our asking price within 3 working days. We found Jonathon to be highly motivated, easy to communicate with and always returned our phone calls.

The Peter Lees Real Estate sales philosophy was explained to us in detail and the realistic asking price and first offer made to us was the outcome we were happy with. We would highly recommend Jonathon Jessup.

David & Maria Payne

I have been in touch with Jonathon for about a year, while I have been renovating my house. Upon completion of this work he came up to give me a quote on the selling price. I at that time had found a house to buy with Peter Lees Real Estate and Jonathon helped me buy this property without any stress. He then listed my property for sale and within a week with Michaels help has sold it for \$5000 more than what I would have accepted.

If you were thinking of buying or selling a property I would definitely recommend Jonathon to give you some help. Jonathon also sold my property without a signboard.

Shane Quarry

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Jonathon and all the crew at Peter Lees.

The market is a bit tough at the moment, I wanted to sell and with advice from the experts I did!!! Honestly I could not recommend a better real estate agent.

If you want sold, speak to Jonathon!

Dennis Buckley

Dear Jonathon, we would both like to thank you for the sale of our house. We were very impressed by your sales skills and how quickly you secured a contract.

Many thanks, Michael & Joanne Cotton

Jonathon Jessup has always been friendly and efficient in all our dealings. He has been in regualr contact for the past 5 years and was therefore the natural choice when I decided to sell my home.

He showed a very good understanding of the local market and nothing was too much trouble for him.

I was also impressed by the teamwork at Peter Lees Real Estate, in particular Joe and Paula who worked with Jonathon to achieve an excellent result.

Jonathon displayed honesty integrity and professionalism in all aspects and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any prospective client.

Lucy Hay

Peta-maree was fantastic to deal with and has been very friendly and prompt.

J. Mitchell

The staff at Peter Lees have all been very helpful and are to be commended for their honest and friendly approach in assisting us through the whole process of settling into a new rental residence.

Anonymous

Peter Lees was great – very professional, courteous and friendly. They made my move down from far north Queensland very easy. I had a place to live within 2 days. (P.S Thanks Peta-Maree)

T. Ainslie

Great Service – we had a faulty hot water system issue which was attended to promptly. We also had a unforeseen issue housing our cat “Gimli” which was accommodated for without fuss.

Also, the ‘welcome basket’ was well appreciated, Thanks!

We were allowed to occupy the premises sight unseen due to our unique circumstances (moving interstate) which to us was a real stress reliever!

P & L. Heaton

"I have been associated with Peter Lees Real Estate for many, many years as a home purchaser and residential property investor. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter Lees Real Estate to anybody seeking the highest professional and ethical standards associated with purchasing, selling, or building and managing a property investment portfolio."

Doug John

Your service was so good that I cant think of any ways that you could improve it – Well done! I was given a cappuccino while I signed the contract and a hamper of goodies for my new rented home. Thank you Helen for being so warm and meeting every request promptly and without question.

P.J Bone

Peta-maree has been friendly and warm whenever I have spoken with her. She has provided information promptly when I have requested it.

It has been nice to have friendly and professional ladies assist and provide information when either telephoning or entering the office.

Thank you Peta-Maree.

Karen VanderVeen

We are really happy with your prompt response to our application. Also we requested for the lawn to be mown and it was attended to within a day. Thank you.

Arok Aleu

Helen made our shift from Queensland a lot less difficult than it may have otherwise been. After spending many frantic weeks trying to arrange a suitable rental, Helen and Peter Lees Real Estate sorted everything out for us. The service provided put other agents to shame. Thank you so very much.

Amanda Woollams

After a very frustrating morning visiting various other real estate agents and being treated with indifference at best it was a nice suprise to walk into your office to be pleasantly met and helped straight away. During the whole process of leasing the property the staff where all excellent and are a credit to your business, if I need to lease or buy a property in the future Peter Lees Real Estate will be my first choice of agent. Thank you to all the staff.

Ian McDonell

I was very impressed with friendly service at Peter Lees. Within the week they had helped me find and approve a rental property. They even let me use their trailer for free! and provided me a hamper of start up essentials.

Peter Lees Real Estate was a friendly introduction to great service in Launceston (as I am from Hobart). No other real estate people up here have dealt with me in such a friendly and professional manner.

Andrew McDougall

To the Asset Management Team:

A brilliant group of people, dedicated to assisting us in such a speedy manner, Thank You. Our new rental home is lovely and the efforts on your part made the move so simple. Thank you again.

Jennifer Donnelly & Stephen Kennett

While searching for a new property to rent I dealt with a few well known real estate agents in Launceston. I was the most impressed with Peter Lees Real Estate, other real estate agents could learn a thing or two from you. I am still waiting for one real estate to ring me back.

Peta-Maree kept in touch with me every couple of days to let me know what was going on, even when there was nothing to report.

I should give you a present for all your help and assistance, by the way I loved my present.

Donna Reid

We found Peter Lees staff to be very efficient and helpful. Their rental contracts are comprehensive and appear to protect both the renter and the property owner very well.

John E. Parker

Peter Lees Real Estate has managed my rental property for a number of years now, and they have always found the best of tenants. The staff are so friendly and approachable and it gives me peace of mind knowing that I can trust them to continue to manage my investment property. I am very happy to leave it in their very capable hands.

Diane Conier

It's not everyday you happily remain with the one business for over a decade. Peter Lees Property Management team has been managing my investment properties with professionalism since my introduction to the investment market all those years ago.

I can certainly recommend their approachable and efficient service to anyone requiring a great team who will work with you.

Pam Sellers

Lee and I are first time property investors. After walking in from the street, my initial experience with Peter Lees Real Estate from the receptionist through to the sales person and property management team was easily the best, friendliest and most honest of several such encounters with agents during a short visit to Launceston.

I was well looked after, given coffee and made to feel comfortable. The office staff were hospitable and most importantly accessible after normal business hours 7 days a week.

Since completing our purchase we have found your after sales treatment is excellent, as is the service given by your property management team.

We are kept well informed about every aspect of our property and feel comfortable it is in good hands. Just as important, we know you look after our tenant as professionally as you do ourselves.

We look forward to continuation of such a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Brian and Lea Beattie

We have had our property managed by your organization for a number of years and we recently sold it. I wish to thank a number of people – through you – that we have dealt with during that time. Regarding the rental management, the following staff have provided exceptional service: Gail Oliver and Renee Maynard. They were always helpful, always efficient and demonstrated superior organizational, communication and customer service skills.

For us owning a property at a distance, these staff made our task as landlords possible. Please thank them for us. Terry and Jonathon were both very helpful when it came to selling the property. Again, both were committed to keeping us informed every step of the way – Jonathon when we first considered selling the property last year and Terry with the actual sale this year.

I would not hesitate to recommend your organization to others.

P & A. Milliken

I cannot find or hope to find any other agent who can give me half the satisfaction as I get from the rental department there. I have other properties here in Melbourne which are brand new and I have had to sack both agents because of mismanagement, lack of professionalism and inability to simply communicate. Problems I have never had with the team there at Peter Lees.

I having nothing but praise for them. Keep up the good work!

Thank you all, Ned Tibble

Just a short note to say thank you and to congratulate you for employing some refreshingly professional staff.

From our initial phone call, which was answered by Kristy, it was comforting to know that someone on the other end of the line was 'smiling'. Her tone and approach to us indicated professionalism and sincerity.

We had dealt with quite a few real estate companies in Launceston and were getting sick and frustrated by their approach to people looking to rent properties. Being treated like second class citizens, being told to wait and we'll get back to you when we're ready or can be bothered.

Your team whoever we dealt with treated us equally and more importantly professionally. I acknowledge you and the business philosophies that you and your team endeavour to follow.

As rental people I could not recommend you enough to anyone. People who wish to be treated with dignity and respect by agents who genuinely look after their clients.

Clients being both investors and renters - an understanding of the importance of both parties an their individual requirements and indeed the synergistic relationship they have, many agents appear to have forgotten that one does have an intrinsic effect on the other.

We look forward to dealing with you for many years to come. Whether it be renting, home buying and/or property investment or management.

Yours Faithfully, William Nicholls

We have had several dealings with Real Estate companies in Launceston and we are sick and frustrated by their approach to people looking to rent properties. Being treated like second class citizens, being told to wait and we'll get back to you, "when we can be bothered".

The staff at Peter Lees demonstrated a great understanding of our needs and dealt with them in a most professional manner. Whoever we dealt with at Peter Lees treated us equally and more importantly professionally. I acknowledge the business philosophies that you and your team endeavour to follow.

I could not recommend the rental department highly enough. People who wish to be treated with dignity and respect by agents who genuinely look after their clients. Investors and tenants alike.

Mr & Mrs Nichols
