Peter David Gum, Realtor; Keller Williams Advisors — Local services in Burlingame

My wife and I worked with Peter for nearly a year scouring San Mateo County for a suitable investment property. In all I think we must have made over ten bids together, chasing after properties that garnered multiple "over-bids" and, finally, as the market turned, securing a great deal after maintaining strict discipline on pricing. My sense is that any other broker would have lost his or her patience after it became clear that we weren't "overpayers", and that there might be more price-insensitive fish to fry, but not Peter. He stayed right in there with us, always patiently following up after every missed deal, learning more about our requirements and honing in on the right requirements. I found his work ethic impressive, and his dedication to his clients extremely admirable. If you get a chance to work with him, you'll immediately know you've got a reliable, dependable partner for not just one deal, but for any other transactions you may do in the future. He's very much in it for the long-term, and that's a rare quality you find in professionals these days. For me, that's paramount. Additionally, his knowledge of the Peninsula is very strong, and being a landlord himself he has great insight on what makes a rental property successful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking either for a residence or a residential...

I worked with Peter on acquiring a rehab project where we took a run-down 2 bedroom, one bath property and converted it to a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home. Peter helped provide guidance in researching and finding the property, going back and forth on ideas for improvements and costs, and market insight into potential After Repair Value. We looked at A Lot of houses before finding the right one and he examined each potential investment as if he was spending his own money. I'm very grateful for his patience and being a knowledgeable sounding board. Peter has a good grasp of property valuation, the rehab process, construction, costs of materials/labor, and has a good sense of what can be done to improve floorplan, amenities, finishes, and landscaping. Most important, he scrutinizes neighborhood valuation to ensure that the cost basis and total rehab costs are low enough to support a list price that is reasonable for the neighborhood at time of sale. My project was a great success and I can't wait to work with...
