As first-time home sellers, Pete was a wonderful guide to help us navigate the process at all stages. After signing with Pete, we were able to list our home quickly and, after following his advice, we received multiple offers above asking price within one week of listing. Throughout each step, Pete was proactive and responsive. We are grateful to him for his work selling our home and, if we hadn't moved across the country, we would continue to be his clients.
Peter was very professional, paid attention to details and kept up with the market trends which in turn helped me make decisions on way forward. His knowledge of the DC Condo market was very valuable to the process. He was available to help even after the sale with things that came up and this made everything stress free. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to sell their property.
Pete is a great guy who inspired confidence as we navigated the uncharted waters of searching for our first home, and we're happy with the decision he helped us make. Throughout the process he was able to give us realistic pros and cons, tell us about schools and hot spots, explain exactly what we were signing, and recommend professionals like inspectors. Since closing, we've stayed in touch and he's helped us with his local knowledge in ways beyond real estate -- things like finding good local doctors. I unreservedly recommend him if you're looking for a home, whether it be a condo, house or townhome.
Pete did a great job assisting us with the sale of our condo in a depressed market. Pete put together a good marketing package and attracted lots of attention to our condo on the DC District Wharf. He also spent countless hours there hosting open houses every week or two. And Pete helped us arrange cost-effective staging of our home using furniture and accessories almost entirely on-hand. It was a tricky closing process but Pete helped manage us through it. And he charges reasonable commission fees! Thank you Pete!
Peter is a wonderful realtor and helped me in every step of the process of purchasing my home. He was always educating me throughout the process, always prompt in his responses, always worked on availability as much as was possible. He was thorough in our searches and in advising me in what was important and what to look out for in deciding which home to choose. He was great in negotiations and ultimately was a major factor in helping me win the property that was best for my family. He is a seasoned professional and I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a trustworthy and well spoken realtor.
Peter sold my house and my mother's house. The process was so easy. He advised on what work to do to prepare the houses, suggested people to do the work and arranged for them to come. They were fast and did a great job. Peter helped my elderly mother to fill out the necessary forms. With relatively little investment, both houses sold for great prices (I couldn't believe how many offers we received) and closing was easy. I will advise my sister to have Peter sell her condo when she is ready to move.
Pete was referred to me by a friend as a trusted relator. She was absolutely correct. As a first time home owner I was new to the whole process. Pete expertly guided me through the process of purchasing my first home and was there every step of the way. The idea of buying my first place seemed daunting but that was not the case with Pete's guidance. From knowing what to look for at open houses, recommending excellent and reliable lenders and inspectors, to negotiating and leveraging through closing Pete always put my needs first and made sure I was well represented. If you are looking to buy or sell in Arlington or DC, I strongly encourage you to work with Pete Frias. He provided me with an excellent home buying experience and I can guarantee he will do the same for you.
Peter was great. Came in with confidence, knew the plan on how to get my condo sold. Great advisement when the market was cooling down, and knew when to get it on, and got it shown to multiple potential buyers.
Pete is a FIVE STAR Agent and Real Estate Professional. Pete was recommended to me through a very close friend. I called him up and the rest is history. Pete's follow up, follow through, and commitment to a high level of service is unmatched. He is consistent, accessible, and has an impeccable level of customer service. I sold my home and purchased a new home all within weeks of each other, and I could not have go through all of these transactions without the professionalism and commitment of Pete. He is well versed and knowledgable about the entire DMV area and will be my ONLY real estate agent for future transactions. You can not go wrong with Pete Frias!
When we made the decision to sell our beloved home on Capitol Hill we felt it would be prudent to have a local realtor represent us and oversee the purchase since we lived in California. We were familiar with Peters work on the Hill and so we contacted him. He helped us determine a range for our asking price and managed the purchase contract negotiations. He arranged all required inspections and follow up repairs working closely with our renters/buyers on scheduling. He kept us on schedule through closing. Peter was professional from start to finish and we highly recommend him.

When I was finally ready to sell my Capitol Hill condominium, I was already living eight hundred miles away and the property needed a lot of work to get it ready to show. Pete handled everything from hiring a cleaning crew to new carpet and paint, repeatedly going above and beyond the call of duty to get my place on the market and sold quickly for significantly above the asking price. Pete surpassed my expectations again and again, and I would unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor in the greater Washington, D.C. area.
Great experience selling my condo in DC while I was living overseas. Pete made the experience easy. Great communication, easy paperwork. Highly recommended.

Peter is a wonderful person and a highly skilled realtor. He was my advocate through a difficult transaction, which was very costly to me in time and money. Throughout the process, he was proactive in getting updates and keeping me informed, and negotiated successfully on my behalf more than once. Having more than 25 years of experience, he is very knowledgeable and extremely thorough. I highly recommend him and hope to work with him again in the future.
We have worked with numerous realtors over the years, but none compare with Pete. He was always available, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Our mistake was that we did not follow all of his advice. We forgot that he had much more knowledge than we did. Not only do we trust him, but we like him. He helped both buy and sell. If you contact Pete, you wont be disappointed.
Because I was very happy with the last house I sold with Pete, I used him to help sell my longtime primary residence on Capitol Hill. If I sell another house in Washington, it certainly will be with him. He made sure everything looked at its best to get top dollar for a 113 year old row house that had been sporadically renovated by me over the years I was almost 2000 miles away when he showed it and went to closing on my behalf. Any headaches in the process were on him. meanwhile I could enjoy the comfortable tropical sunshine of Highland Mexico.
We have known Pete for over 20 years. He has help us buy and sell at least six properties. He is the only one we use. Pete is the most knowledgeable Agent on The Hill by far! Great guy to work with and someone who has your interest foremost. You can TRUST Pete.
Peter is a very knowledgeable and experienced realtor in the DC market. This is the second time Peter and I have worked together on a sale. This time was myself as the seller. Everything went very smoothly from beginning to end. Once the house was listed we had great luck and an offer within a couple days. I would recommend Peter Frias and Formant Property Group to anyone who is looking for a quality home buying experience.
It took me a couple of years to find the perfect house in Georgetown and during that time Peter worked with me tirelessly and patiently. I am a first time buyer and Peter was able to guide me expertly through the sales process. He is a professional who understands the industry very well.
Pete was very patient with us in our search for a home, and was always available to get us in for a showing. He is very knowledgeable about the DMV area and all of its neighborhoods and was flexible in terms of getting us in to see properties in all different neighborhoods. Once we found the right place, he helped us to quickly put together a competitive offer for our home. We are truly grateful!
We worked with Pete to buy our first home. He made the process very smooth, easy, and quick for us! We had lots of questions about what to expect and he held our hand through the whole process in a very friendly, even-keeled way. Now that we are "homeowners," he continues to check in to see if we need support or referrals to various services.
Peter was recommended to me by someone in my condo building who had a good experience with him. I told him my particular circumstances which were that I was unable to get a renter for several months and forced to sell my condo quickly to make up for the lack of income. He was highly responsive, gave me good suggestions and listened to my feedback. Because of his ideas and efforts, the very first day he showed the property, Peter was able to get a bidder at almost my exact asking price. I don't think I could ask for a better result from a real estate agent. I highly recommend his services.
I found Peter through Zillow. I knew his real estate firm specialized on Capitol Hill and he had excellent ratings on Zillow. My condo was a small efficiency next to Union Station. I had the unit completely renovated but Peter felt we should stage the unit with some furniture, hoping to get the top dollar. This added a little extra expense, but I do feel it helped to get a lot of potential purchasers into seeing the unit. We did adjust the price once, but then a contract followed very soon. Everything dealing with the closing went smoothly. Peter was always available to talk and he was very good at keeping me posted on the activity at the condo. I believe we did get the top dollar for this unit and so I was happy, Peter was happy and the new owner got a terrific unit that was in excellent condition and in an unbelievable location.
Peter is a great agent for a first time home buyer. He was incredibly responsive and answered many, many questions throughout the process. He has a solid knowledge and understanding of the industry, and when he did not know something, he tapped his networks and resources to get us the answer.
Peter answered all my questions and advised me on improvements to make without spending too much money prior to listing. He made excellent recommendations for people did wonderful and fast work. He advised me on staging and the asking price. Then he helped me understand the many offers I received so that I could choose the best one. Most of this was accomplished after I had already moved to a new city. The process could not have been more seamless for me.
Peter helped me with my condo, and it could not have gone better. The first day of listing, we received a bid for exactly the price we wanted. He helped with staging and other important aspects. Peter is organized, professional, and I would recommend him without hesitation
As first time home buyers, Pete guided us through the process with no pressure whatsoever. Because he was constantly keeping in touch with our finance company, the title company, the seller's agent, and the inspector, he was able to be a resource for all of those resources at once. Any time we had questions or concerns, Pete didn't hesitate to respond with a phone call, text, or e-mail. If and when we ever sell our place, we'll be hoping that Pete hasn't retired or moved away, because we intend to utilize his experience any time we can.
Pete worked with me for over a year to find a home in DC. He helped me from the initial stage... of being new to DC, and looking to get into the market here--to the final stage--closing on a home on the Hill. In the course of that time, not only did I grow in knowledge of the market and my interests, but I also went to Nigeria for a work assignment for 3 months, got engaged, and was married. My fiance (at the time) also ended up in the hospital for a few days for an emergency procedure as we were getting our contract ratified.Pete was a consummate professional, patient and helpful throughout all of this. Not only that, he is very good at what he does! He is on top of the market, has a strong network (for all the other people you'll need to work with--inspectors, lenders, etc), gives personal attention, and is flexible with his schedule. Pete is also easy to work with--he never pressured us, he never tried to sell us more than we needed. He took time to understand what we were looking for, and worked with us in a genuine, sincere effort to find the right home.My wife and I highly recommend Pete. We could not have been happier with his assistance. With his support and hard work, we closed on a house one week after our wedding (while on honeymoon), and returned to our new home waiting for us. We're very grateful to have worked with Pete, and would do so again!
My experience working with Pete was highly personalized and positive. A good friend recommended him based on her fantastic experience. She connected us by email and Pete was very responsive. We set a time to talk by phone shortly after and we made arrangements for me to fly to D.C. from the Midwest to begin the search. He was very thoughtful about my limited time, so he worked hard in advance to narrow the options to the most appropriate selections. When I adjusted my criteria and preferences, he was right there with me at each step and kept an impressive amount of information in his memory. As a D.C. native and long-time realtor, he seems to know every corner of every block in the area.
Peter helped us buy our home in Eckington and he was fantastic. he worked with us over 5 months as we looked and was helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable the entire time. We told him what we were looking for and he would consistently send us options often long before we were able to find them ourselves on real estate websites. He had a honest and very low pressure approach. He never tried to create any sense of urgency and would often let us know if he thought a property wasn't right for us. The time he put into helping us was also impressive. If we couldn't get information about the property before visiting, he would go on his own without us and let us know if he thought it might be a good fit. All around a great experience that made us feel good about our purchase.
We had a great experience working with Peter to buy/sell. He worked with us for over 6 months to find the right "forever home" for our family, and was very responsive to our feedback throughout the process of looking at various homes. We were comfortable asking him questions and relying on his advice. He helped us look in NW DC as well as Montgomery County, until the right house came along. Preparing our offer paperwork was seamless, and Peter kept us informed every step of the way during the purchase. Peter subsequently shepherded us through the selling process by helping us create a reasonable timeline for moving out and preparing our house to go on the market. He had a specific marketing strategy in mind for our house, and provided wonderful references for painters and stagers to help our home look its best when it hit the market. We received multiple offers, all above asking price, and were absolutely delighted with how the sale went down. Peter is very experienced, and clearly enjoys his job, which makes all the difference!
We met Peter when we were deciding whether to rent or sell our home when we retired. He gave us a good idea of what to expect in a sale, so we contacted him a couple of years later when we were ready to go. He was very easy to work with - responsive, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We followed his advice, and don't see how our sale could have gone any more smoothly. We got an offer for our asking price on the first day, and he was extremely helpful as we worked through the details necessary to close the deal. We recommend him highly.Frank Morring and Bea Edwards
I went with Pete to list my Cap Hill/NOMA home based on his knowledge and presence in the neighborhood. He knew exactly what I needed to do to get the home listed quickly with minimal expense but he sold it for top dollar! We had multiple above asking price offers after just a few days on the market and closed in 30 days. I would highly recommend Pete if selling your home in DC or if you are looking for a new home in the area.
Responsive, thorough, knowledgeable, and amenable. Peter agreed to take on our sale of a co-op, a task from which some agents will shy away. He was able to secure our full asking price and made the sale work despite our concurrent move overseas. Peter did an excellent job selling our house and I give him my highest possible recommendation.
A job transfer moved us here from Colorado. We had been referred to a larger Agency but were not happy with the agents assigned to us so set out on our own. Peter happened to be the listing agent on a property we wanted to see on a weekend house hunting visit. He returned the call, asked a few questions and found a few more properties to show. We didn't find what we were looking for that weekend but he figured out what we were looking for as far as the commute time for my husband and my needs for a bit more space. Peter was good at giving us a quick overview of neighborhoods within the Beltway, He responded quickly to any enquiry we had and injected bits of wisdom regarding the different living style we were about to experience. He did find us a "home" and I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to friends.
Peter was knowledgeable about the area and the market. He recommended repairs, staging and pricing to get us top dollar. And he was able to work with us even after we had moved out of state.
Pete is an excellent realtor and I recommend him. We were not familiar with the DC area and Pete's expertise in every facet of looking, deciding, and purchasing a condo made the entire process very positive and pleasant. He understood our needs, showed us a variety of neighborhoods, and kept us continually updated on new listings. He was extremely responsive and easy to work with.
Peter Frias approached the sale of my property very professionally.He advised me to make certain improvements that made the property more attractive to prospective buyers. His knowledge of Hill properties and what makes them sell plus his network of other realtors brought in several potential buyers.He also provided good advice in selling personal items through an estate sale.He's a very personalable guy and fun to work with.
Peter was incredible to work with, especially as first time homebuyers. I had a schedule that was very difficult to work with, and yet Peter always responded quickly, worked around my schedule, and got us in to see properties (I think the longest delay to see anything was two days, and we saw several on the same day). Peter provided clear and reliable advice on how to make our decision, which ultimately led to our successful bid in this very competitive housing market. And perhaps most importantly, he was always willing to take the time to explain issues to us and point out practical considerations for various properties that we saw. He also recommended a lender that ended up beating the four other lenders' terms--by a lot. Overall, Peter consistently went above and beyond and truly provided a full-service realty experience. He will do a phenomenal job for you, no matter what your levels of knowledge and experience are. I hope to use him again someday.
Pete handled all aspects of entering our offer, negotiating price, dealing with our lender, and ultimately getting us to closing, on a tight deadline. Especially unusual and difficult is that ours was a "for sale by owner" purchase, where the seller had no agent and no experience. Pete was not only responsive, he was also proactive, anticipating the needs of the transaction. I not only recommend him, I would also personally use him again in the future.
Pete was a fantastic realtor. It was my first time buying a house, and he was very patient with me, taking me out to see many properties. Though not pushy, he has sound judgment and provided helpful insights about the places we toured. Most importantly, he was a strong advocate for my interests, up through and past closing, including some issues that have come up post-closing. I recommend him with enthusiasm to anyone looking for a realtor in DC.
Peter made the process of looking for a home as pleasant and easy as possible. He really listened to what I had in mind and put together viewing opportunities that thoughtfully fit my criteria. Once he understood what I was looking for, he took the initiative to show me properties that I wouldn't have thought to look at on my own. During the closing process, Peter made sure I understood what was going on and helped get my questions answered. He was accessible throughout and made me feel like a priority. I was impressed with Peter's knowledge of the market and highly recommend him.
Peter took time to show me multiple properties around the area to fit my budget and needs. He also kept me updated on how the buying process was coming step by step.

Peter is an excellent real estate agent. He knew everything about our desired neighborhood, was patient through our barrage of first-time home-buyer questions, offered excellent advice at all stages of the process, and was particularly savvy during some weird interactions we had with our lender.I highly recommend Peter Frias.
Peter was incredibly helpful and supportive as my husband and I purchased our first home in DC. Throughout the entire process, he was always available whenever we had any questions, and we felt valued and respected as his clients. We'd definitely like to work with him again in the future, and will recommend him to others in the meantime.
I couldn't have hoped for a better home buying experience with Pete. My wife and I were just starting the process of relocating when I contacted Pete. He was very responsive to our emails, texts and phone calls. We were not very familiar with the neighborhoods and that is where Pete really shined. Pete is patient. Frequently we had to reschedule due to work-related events and we were having trouble deciding between buying a home in D.C. or Northern Virginia -- he stuck with us and provided an analysis of alternatives. Eventually we decided on a condo in Arlington. Pete's knowledge of markets, negotiation, and the entire home buying process is beyond reproach. He will be our first call when we look to sell or buy in the future.
I just closed on a condo with Pete's help, and I cannot stress enough what an amazing representative he is. Pete is a genuine and honest person--just the type of person you need on your side in the crazy real estate market in our area. Pete is also very experienced, and his expertise and insight was an invaluable resource throughout. This was my first time buying property, and I didn't know anything about the process of looking or making an offer or getting financing. I also came into the process without a clear idea about exactly what I wanted. Pete was an incredible help from start to finish. He frequently sent me listings that fit my specifications so that I didn't have to spend tons of time online looking for myself. Pete knows the city extremely well, and had great insights about different neighborhoods and types of condos. I definitely looked at places I would not have otherwise thought to check out, which was really helpful in getting me to focus in on exactly what I wanted. Pete was extremely generous with his time. He took me on dozens of tours, and even returned with me to the same property multiple times in a few cases. He is a great person to bounce ideas off of -- he never put pressure on me to consider a place outside my price range, and he gave direct, thoughtful answers to questions. I made a couple of offers with Pete, and he negotiated with agents on a couple of other properties I did not make offers on; he is a great advocate and a strong and experienced negotiator. When I did successfully make an offer and ultimately close on a condo, Pete was so helpful throughout the whole process. Again, I knew I could trust him, which is so essential when you're signing tons of documents and making a huge financial decision without knowing all of the ins and outs of the process. We ended up closing on an accelerated schedule just before the holidays, and Pete was great at making sure everything was done on time. I am so excited about my new place, and I could not have done this without Pete's dedication and hard work. I cannot recommend Pete enough. He is a exceptional realtor and a great person.
I would recommend Peter Frias without hesitation. He is pro-active, knowledgeable, and caring. In addition, his recommendations, based on years of experience in the D.C. area saved us a good deal of time and expence. In selling our property, he guided us along every step of the way, providing insights that we simply did not have. In negotiations, he provided sound advice that suited both the buyers and sellers, and led to a stress-free transaction.
