    About Peter Maw

    Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, I quickly realized how lucky I was to live an hour away from one of the greatest places on earth, Whistler, BC - the birthplace of many of my fondest memories. My weekends and summers were spent in Whistler visiting my aunt, uncle and cousins. Spending time in the mountains was always exciting and comforting to me. There was nothing better than spending a day on the hill and coming back to a warm home to relax with family and friends. I learned to appreciate the resort lifestyle at a young age. I headed off to University in 1995 to attend the University of Victoria where I received my Bachelor's degree in biochemistry. Each summer I would head up to Whistler to mountain bike, golf and work. After graduating, I made my way back to Whistler full-time where I spent my time working for Intrawest, skiing, biking and golfing. In 2000, I decided to leave Whistler and head to Los Angeles to further my professional career. I received a job offer from UBS Warburg, a Swiss-based investment bank, where I worked as an analyst for two and a half years. Banking was an invaluable experience but I decided to pursue a more balanced lifestyle and get back to what I love the most - the mountains. Five months before "retiring" from banking, I visited Mammoth Mountain for the first time and fell in love with the place. I visited the resort several times after that and soon realized it was no coincidence that I was skiing in a foot of fresh powder under a blue bird sky each time I visited. It soon became clear that Mammoth was going to be my new home after meeting Larry McKee, Owner and President of Century 21 Mammoth Realty, and fellow Whistlerite. I moved to Mammoth in October 2003, and purchased my first home. Living in Mammoth today reminds me of the way Whistler was several years ago so I'm excited to be a part of its future. 32 feet of snow, 300 days of sunshine, skiing, biking, fishing, golf and a career that I love: I love it here! In July, 2005, my wife DeDe and I were married at the Hayden Cabin in Mammoth and since then she founded her preschool "Mammoth Montessori Children's House." DeDe and I met in Mammoth, were engaged and married here, and now have a beautiful little girl, Grace, and our energetic son, Sawyer! Mammoth is treating us well!

    Nothing is more important than efficient, honest representation in Real Estate. Sierra Manors in Mammoth Lakes, Ca is our 3rd successful close with Peter Maw. Our first escrow, 15 years ago didnt go so smoothly aEUR" Due to the listing agent - Not Peter. But Peter stuck by us and assisted us through arbitration, which we won. That sealed the deal and weve worked with him ever since. That unit today, is a hefty little cash cow! So with his help we bought another and another, which closed this week. Peter Maw is honest, intelligent and understands the individual complexities of each transaction. Hes an expert in Mammoth Lakes and San Diego and even helped us shop in Palm Springs. Dont look elsewhere. Peter Maw is your guy.

    Pete and DeDe were really great to work with. They worked with me during a very high conflict sale. They remained neutral and professional throughout the entire home sale process . They went above and beyond the duties of what one would expect of their real estate agents. The integrity and professionalism was outstanding !

    Peter Maw has turned our Mammoth Dreams into reality not once, but twice. We first connected with Peter in 2011 while searching for a property in Mammoth Lakes, California. He found us the ideal unit, and weve been enjoying it ever since. When we decided to upgrade to a larger condo recently, we turned to Peter again. True to form, he delivered a seamless transaction. Peter is a dedicated and skilled Realtor who puts his clients first. Notably, despite the chaos in Californias insurance market, he guided us to an excellent insurance carrier. We wouldnt trust anyone else. Our new condo is ours, and were settled in. Thank you, Peter!

    When I set out to find a great agent to represent me as a buyer, I was certain that I wanted someone with good communication and follow through, was willing to answer all the questions that I had, and was a strong negotiator to secure the best deal. After a successful experience buying in Mammoth Lakes, I can say that Pete and his Team checked all the boxes! I didnt know I was getting an entire team when I first spoke with Pete, but I'm glad I made the call! Super friendly, always willing to answer questions and respond quickly. They made me feel like their only customer, and I was nowhere near their highest commission. Clear communication and consistent follow through. Pete and his Team are experts at negotiating buyer requests and navigating seller expectations. Even with a very unusual escrow with a less than ideal inspection, I felt prepared to move forward and was able to close early. I couldnt be happier! Hiring this group was the second best decision I made, after buying a dream property!

    Pete and Dede are very knowledgeable about the market, housing preparation, and staging. Also, the communication with them was great which is important to us. On the other hand, they were following up very closely with all potential buyers and kept us updated. If we buy or sell again, we would love to work with them again!
