ZillowVERIFIED Gretchen Knipe was incredible to work with in selling our home. After a setback with the first potential buyer, she artfully helped us to retool our plan and successfully negotiated on our behalf with the second buyer. All the while, she was compassionate, upbeat, determined, kind-hearted, and professional. Gretchen was our friend before she became our realtor, and we wondered how that would work out, but she rose to the occasion and never blurred the line. In the end, she patiently and carefully helped us sell a house we loved in favor of buying our forever home, and she was always helpful but never pushy, answering difficult questions that we posed to her with aplomb. She was nimble, creative, and even fun to work with. Highly recommended, indeed!

ZillowVERIFIED Peter was wonderful to work with. He and his whole team kept me informed about everything that was happening throughout the sale. He also was very reassuring about the sale of my house since I needed help selling it quickly. He delivered on all of his promises too and house was sold very quickly. I cant say enough about how much I appreciate him and his team and would recommend him and his team to everyone I know.

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Peter Chiarkas. He is professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. All the attributes you want from a professional realtor, he has. And beyond those traits, he understood my situation and what I was looking for from Day 1, offered his opinion on the properties we looked at, and always encouraged me to NOT settle.... that we would find the absolute right place. And we ultimately did. I also worked with his team members from time to time, and they were equally professional and truly outstanding. Overall, it was a 5 star experience and I'll use Peter and his team for any future real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter will always be my go to for purchasing and selling a home. I was looking for the perfect place for my 91 year old mother, who enjoys autonomy to purchase. She lives in NJ and is moving to Pa. We wanted something nearby my home and Peter found the perfect place. His communication was excellent and his response to any questions my mom or I had were answered swiftly! He took care to look out for my moms interest and assure she was satisfied with everything! If youre looking to buy or sell a home I highly recommend Peter Chiarkas!

ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with Peter and his team multiple times. They are friendly, knowledgeable and understand our needs. After my mother passed, Peter helped my father purchase a new home and was very patient with my dad. If you are buying or selling property in State College or the surrounding area, call Peter and his team to help you.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter, Thank you to you and your team for all your work in selling my sisters home. It had become difficult for her to maintain in recent years, and you truly made the best of a challenging situation. We appreciate you going above and beyond to prepare the house for the market. Your extensive knowledge of the local area was instrumental in pricing the home for such a quick and profitable sale. Our entire family is grateful for everything you did to make this happen for her.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter did an outstanding job marketing and selling a deceased family members home. As the executor of the estate, who does not reside in the area, Peter was everything I could ask for in a realtor. In addition to being knowledgeable of the real estate in the area, he contacted and oversaw the work of the service people needed to prepare the house for sale. He was an excellent communicator who made certain I was informed on all showings and provided feedback on the prospective buyers opinions of the house. I highly recommend Peter as a realtor who will meet all of your needs.

ZillowVERIFIED We are so grateful for Peter and his team. This is the 4th property we have bought/sold with them. Peter knew the local ordinances for long and short term rental properties which helped us decide to sell the property. He helped us decide on a listing price and the property, which was unique, sold in just over a month. Peter checked in with us regularly once an offer was made to make sure we didnt have questions and to assure us that all was going forward with the sale. He and his team were so positive throughout the entire process. The last house we bought with Peter was 18 years ago and his experience is evident.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter was our buying agent for our home in the State College area. He was incredible. He listened to what we were looking for and then brought us a lot of options to consider. More than we had hoped for. He was there through all parts of the buying process to help us navigate the ups and downs. He was available whenever we needed him. He will listen to you and help you find the home that meets your wish list. I can?t recommend him enough.

ZillowVERIFIED I bought my home with Peter 5 years ago and recently I sold my home with him. He was really helpful and responsive during every phases. Especially during selling, he helped me understand the optional renovations of the home, and the cost effectiveness of them. Since I moved to west coast and was selling a home in east coast, he was in charge of everything and offered a lot of flexibility during the process.

ZillowVERIFIED Easiest home buying Ive experienced. Found Peter through Zillow. I had a house in mind and he told me all about it ( and that it needed a lot of work) and then directed me to a house that better suited my needs. Less than a week later we were in escrow on the perfect house for my student daughter.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter is the consummate professional. I was most impressed how he made everything easy for us. Even though we live almost 3000 miles away, there was never a time during the entire process that I wasnt able to communicate with Peter immediately. He even answered his phone on Saturday night to talk with me. Also, his office mates were very professional and responsive. We were so happy with Peter that we are considering selling another house in the state college area, and would absolutely want to work with Peter again.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter and his team knew what they were doing every step of the way, including the all-important setting the homes asking price in the first place. Keena, Krissy, and Alyssa were each competent, friendly, and important parts of the team. The whole team gave us the room to make our own decisions, while always being ready to give important, expert advice if we were considering doing something that would have likely been a mistake.

ZillowVERIFIED I highly recommend Peter Chiarkas. He has worked with us both buying and selling properties in the Centre Region. He was always accessible by text/call and email. We really appreciated his prompt replies to questions and concerns almost on a daily basis! We couldnt thank Peter and his team enough for the ease at which they made all of our transactions flow.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter and his team were just outstanding throughout the entire process from first bid to closing. Peter worked proactively for us since we were out of town, always searching the market for what we were looking for and emailed me the day our place went on the market. He and his team were always available through email or text almost immediately and always followed up with us to make sure things were going smoothly for us with the lender, insurance company, condo association, inspections etc. We couldn?t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Peter for your realty needs. Just awesome!!

ZillowVERIFIED Peter was outstanding to work with. He recommended movers and a clean out company to help me prepare my mom?s condo for sale. I could have not done this without his help. He always kept in contact with me and provided me with any information I needed. The condo sold sooner than I expected. I highly recommend Peter.

ZillowVERIFIED If it were not for Peter, his sense of urgency, and his local connections I do not believe we wouldve gotten the home we did. In an insanely heavily weighted sellers market we toured the home, placed an offer, and had it accepted within a day. This was only the start with Peters team. His office staff, Alyssa in particular, made buying the home THE SMOOTHEST process Ive dealt with. Have no hesitancy in working with Peter and his team.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter and his team were FANTASTIC to work with. Professional, knowledgeable, and kept in contact with me throughout the process. This is the 3rd real estate transaction Peter has handled for me. I purchased my last home 18 years ago and worked with Peter, he was so terrific throughout the process - I was Pregnant with Twins and getting ready to go on bedrest and needed to find a home fast. He was so great, there was no question of who I would call when it was time to put it on the market to relocate.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first-time home buyer, we were inexperienced in the home buying process. Peter and his team were not only knowledgeable in the local market, but they were eager to point things out to help us learn during the entire process. Peter and his team were also very patient in the early stages and also provided good feedback and strategy during the negotiations. Peter and his team were also incredibly receptive and responsive from start to close.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter and his amazing team were so great to work with! Keena is an absolute gem and Alyssa was so on the ball! We started our search while living out of state, and they were so flexible and responsive when it came to showings and all of the questions we had. We also loved Peter?s no-pressure style and how knowledgeable he was at creating competitive offers/negotiating. Plus, he had great recommendations on local services that ended up saving us a bunch of money. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Realtor Peter Chiarkas while searching for our first home in State College, and we couldnt be more impressed. Peter was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and Peter was patient and incredibly knowledgeable, providing us with all the information we needed to make informed decisions. One thing that truly stood out was Peters responsiveness. In a market where houses were selling within a day, he wasted no time in setting up showings for us. Whenever we expressed interest in a property, he was quick to respond and had a showing scheduled within hours. This level of dedication and efficiency made all the difference in such a competitive market. Peters expertise and guidance were invaluable as he walked us through the home-buying process step by step. He made sure we understood everything and helped us navigate the complexities of the State College housing market. We felt confident and well-supported throughout our homebuying journey, all thanks to Peters outstanding service. If youre in the market for a realtor in State College, I highly recommend Peter Chiarkas. His professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge truly set him apart. We are now happily settled in our new home, and we owe a big thanks to Peter for making it all possible.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter is phenomenal. We bought and sold our house with him. He and his team do everything they can to make things smooth. Peter even helped us secure some emergency storage and sell our stuff. If you buy or sell in the State College area you MUST at least talk to Peter!!!!

Review for Member: Peter Chiarkas
ZillowVERIFIED Peter and his team did an excellent job with the sale of our house in State College. Peter was involved in the process right from the beginning and even helped us decide what upgrades/improvements were needed even before we decided to put the house on the market. Subsequently, Peters team was always responsive and helped me through each step (e.g., listing, negotiation, settlement). The thing I appreciated most was the fact that Peters team was able to handle all this for me while I was living 500 miles away! I did not have to travel back once - Peters team handled everything from start to finish! I would highly recommend Peter and his team of realtors - they are extremely knowledgeable, polite, professional and responsive!

ZillowVERIFIED Peter did a great job helping me to understand what I wanted in a new home. He patiently showed me many homes until I finally realized I needed storage space. I was downsizing but still needed space. All the financial details were taken care of. This greatly reduced my level of anxiety.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter was great! He helped me buy my condo and sell it 2 years later. I got a great price on both the buying and selling. Peters advice about timing was so valuable!!!! He saved me 10s of thousands of dollars when I bought because of when he encouraged me to do so. When I sold my house Peters advice helped us to get the sale done on the timeline we wanted for a very good price. As a first time homebuyer and seller, Peter made the whole processes so much easier for me and understandable as well.
