What Clients Are Saying

“Peter Colbert goes above and beyond as a realtor. I have worked with him as both a buyer and a seller and I would highly recommend him. When I moved out of town, he facilitated the entire cleaning, refreshing and staging of my house for sale. He simplified the entire process of putting the house on the market, then worked diligently to find us a buyer. He works in the best interest of his clients - fairly and sincerely. I have complete confidence in Peter - he communicates well and always kept me informed. My house closed last week and I couldn’t be happier.”

Hallie

“A knowledgeable, experienced and tenacious advocate for your real estate dreams in the wine country. Our experience of buying a piece of paradise in Healdsburg with Mark as our agent, was world class. My husband and I have been fortunate to work with the very best in the business over the years and Mark Altes is a headliner!”

Deepa and Thampy Thomas

“Encyclopedically knowledgeable about the real estate market in and around wine country, yet always patient with our questions and hesitations, Peter was the perfect partner for us – a friendly expert who helped us understand the areas and tradeoffs, identify our sweet spot, and eventually acquire our family home in Sebastopol.”

Colleen

and Matteo

“Peter found the perfect home for me 6 years ago and then recently helped me sell it when it was time to move on. Both times he competently and efficiently handled all aspects of the sales and everything went smoothly. When it is time for me to look for a new home again, I would certainly trust Peter to do so.”
