Our Testimonials

    Peter did an amazing job helping our search for a house in the Hudson Valley area. His expertise in the market and geographical knowledge was instrumental especially in decision making around price, area, proximity to different areas of interests as well as potential resale values. He has always been very reachable, responsive and willing to lend a helping hand in the entire process. It’s tough to imagine going through the entire process without someone like him and guide you through the process!!  user9189991

    Peter was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and communicative. Made my first-time home purchase a much smoother experience and provided a lot of expertise at every stage of the process. He knows the area well and the whole experience was certainly a lot less stressful than it might have otherwise been!  Othello M.

    Peter and Stella were great to work with as we searched for a home. They were proactive in finding potential homes that met our criteria, responsive throughout the entire process, and helpful in guiding us through the closing. They were extremely knowledgeable about the entire area and the general market environment.  Mitchell S.

    I met Peter about 8 months ago through a recommendation from a friend and I was quickly impressed by his local knowledge, his patience, and focus on a true partnership. Peter extensively toured the market with me and provided excellent guidance throughout the process. He helped me define and ultimately find what I was looking for. He communicated frequently and never fell short of providing me with useful information on the area, restaurants, shopping, and for things to do which was very helpful given that I am new to the area. Having said that, Peter really excelled once we moved to putting an offer in for the desired property. I could have not been more impressed by his guidance through the bidding and closing process and achieved a very favorable result at the end. Furthermore, even after the closing took place Peter helped me to set up my new home with the required services and never fell short meeting service providers with me at the property or helping out if I could not come up from NYC. I can highly recommend him and would absolutely engage him again. Christoph D.

    Peter is an excellent real estate agent. He’s a good listener and quickly understood exactly what we were looking for. And when he found the perfect place for us, he was smart enough to get us to see it immediately before it got away. Also, he was always available to answer questions and provide much needed advice on everything related to buying a new home in the Hudson Valley.  Tamarkotz

    We would not have found our perfect house if it wasn’t for Peter. He guided us throughout the entire process with so much wisdom. He was attentive to our preferences, and available 24/7 for anything we needed. Having someone like Peter on your side while buying a house is invaluable, as it made the experience fun, meaningful, and fulfilling. We can not recommend Peter highly enough!  Eliza B.

    Peter did an outstanding job helping us sell a family home from our parents’ estate. He came out to the house at our convenience on a weekend on two occasions, since we live out of state. He had very good advice on the minimal but crucial things to change to sell the home at the best price. He suggested several professionals that gave competitive quotes and provided great service. Stella’s photos of the room and property were crisp and extra bright. House sold from bids that came in the first weekend. Peter reached me while I was on a business trip for the final negotiations and gave me great summaries of the bids and the issues that needed to be resolved so we could work through rapidly. We are recommending him to our other local friends.  telfertempelman

    Peter provided honest and effective advice that allowed me to quickly sell my property. He gave 100% of his time and ability to selling my property at a reasonable price. He always made me feel comfortable and confident that our agreed upon strategy was the right way forward. His diligence resulted in multiple offers (about 17) many being way above asking price. I found Peter to be a true professional and a truly decent person.  jhetwills

    We’ve bought and sold multiple properties over the years. Peter is, by far, the best agent we’ve ever worked with. He is knowledgeable, patient, extremely hard-working, and goes above and beyond to help. He is an excellent communicator and answers all inquiries quickly. Very personable, with a great sense of humor and relaxed temperament. Follows through, even after the closing. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.  Ginnie G.

    I worked with Peter for almost a year in a red hot housing market. I’m sitting on my back porch now in my new home in the Hudson Valley and it was nothing short of a miracle (and thanks to Peter) to get here. In addition to a crazy market I was emotional and cranky most days – Peter may have tired of it but never showed it. He continued to be patient and calm from offer to close. I cannot stress how important it is to have local representation who knows the players in the process – Peter is just that. You would be incredibly lucky to have him in your corner. Thank you Peter!  Cynthia B.

    Peter Ilani is a highly skilled agent who I strongly recommend Peter provided clear guidance to me throughout this process, his knowledge of the area and his understanding of the market were invaluable. There was no question he could not answer. What I really appreciated was the clarity of communication, there was no drama, no hyperbole. Three days ago, I moved into my new home. I am grateful for Peter’s professionalism; it made all the difference, and I am delighted with the outcome.  zinghall

    Peter helped my wife and I land our first home with his caring guidance and thoughtful advice. He knew the market and the situation well enough for us to put in a smart and competitive bid in a hot market. Thanks to his support we landed just where we wanted in Rhinebeck! I highly recommend Peter – he is willing to go the extra mile for his clients!  thedavebright

    My experience with Peter Ilani was amazing. He is very thorough and detail oriented and helped me with all the details . His response time is unparalleled. I recommend his services to x as my one buying up here in Hudson Valley.  Suzie B.

    Peter and Stella are outstanding. This is the second time we’ve used them — once as buyers, once as sellers — and I can’t say enough nice things about how much they helped us. Very knowledgeable about the area; they seem to “know a guy” for every possible situation. And Peter was so helpful throughout the long sale process, always able to explain in simple terms what was happening and what was coming next. We’ve bought and sold a number of homes over the years and we can’t recommend Peter and Stella enough.  Steve S.

    If you need an incredible realtor, look no further. Peter is a solid guy who knows his stuff. After talking with me and my husband about what we were looking for, he showed us a variety of houses, each a winner in their own right. It was clear that Peter really took our preferences into account and set out to give us options, explaining the pros and cons of each. Thanks to Peter, we ended up with a place and a location that we love, that makes sense for us and our lifestyle. What we really came to value is that he leaves no stone unturned — he’s proactive in researching information, his attention to detail is unparalleled, and he persists through challenges encountered along the way. He also has a wealth of practical knowledge about the process, properties, and how things work, which we found invaluable. Lastly, he has great integrity, which these days is refreshing. If you want an incredible realtor, Peter is your guy.  pskw50

    Peter made it possible for us to buy a home in the Hudson Valley. He was very patient with our special – and potentially contradictory – requests to find a home that suited us as a weekend house but that would also allow our elderly parents to live there. We covered a lot of ground over a long period of time, but he never complained and was always responsive to our needs. He was more of a trusted guide than an agent. When we found our place, he walked us through the deal, offered insights on some longer term upgrades, and recommended local contractors and suppliers. Peter is the consummate professional but also a warm human being. We jokingly referred to him as “Uncle Peter” but with good reason. He was a delight to work with and we unhesitatingly recommend him to others.  J Hosking

    can’t imagine going through this process without Peter and Stella Ilani. They made the home-selling experience as easy and stress-free as possible. They helped us navigate every step of the way, and were masterful in planning for and heading off issues in advance. They know the market, the communities, and the important considerations that don’t necessarily come up, but that the buyer or seller really want to think about. They were always available and they patiently and thoroughly walked us through any questions we had. In addition to their professional excellence, Peter and Stella are truly delightful people that we felt lucky to get to know. We will miss them!  user21940501

    Peter was our realtor throughout the home buying process. He was not referred to us, so initially we went in with blind faith, hoping he was the right person. We have never regretted our decision. He was patient with our unfamiliarity of the Hudson Valley and took the initiative to educate us, with a good cross-selection of home viewing that went beyond our initial scope, which helped introduce us to the area. We recall our first day trip with him, where he also thoughtfully included a goodie bag of healthy snacks for the trip. As we went through the viewing process, we came across a few other agents and each time, were still thankful we had aligned with Peter. We felt at all times that he was carefully listening to both of us and merging our feedback to come up with the right house. Moreover his knowledge on the area and on housing construction in general, was very good and very helpful. The house we ultimately settled on was far from an easy sale, which pushed all of us to our limits. Peter remained very professional through this trying process, stayed on top of things and hung in there. We also appreciated his good humor and banter to help lighten the stress. Following the sale, he has continued to support us with helpful information and local service providers. It has been a pleasure getting to know him and we would not hesitate to recommend him.  Evans N.

    Peter was terrific. He knows the area, understood what was most important to me, showed me viable options, walked me through the deal, reminded me of important deadlines and to do’s and even recommended local vendors for every need. I highly recommend Peter Ilani!  zuser20160905065530669

    I have absolutely only good things to say about Peter and Stella. I am lucky someone referred them to me because in the first meeting I knew he would be the one I would choose to sell my house. Never any pressure, freely gave information and advice and extremely patient from start to finish. I was very nervous about the whole process as well and Peter is quick to reply to any concerns I had (even if my attorneys should have been the ones I probably should have bothered at times). I highly recommend this team whether you’re looking to purchase or sell.  danteslair0807
