About Peter Trautman
With over seven years of experience in the real estate industry, I bring a strategic, detail-driven approach that today's buyers and sellers truly value. Before transitioning into real estate, I spent more than 30 years in the IT industry, where I built a career on problem-solving, data analysis, project management, and clear communication--skills that now serve my clients every day. That technology background gives me a unique edge in real estate. I understand how to analyze market data, leverage digital tools, and manage complex transactions with precision and efficiency. Whether it's pricing a home accurately, marketing it effectively, or guiding buyers through competitive negotiations, I approach every transaction with a methodical, results-oriented mindset. Clients appreciate my ability to simplify what can often feel like an overwhelming process. I believe informed clients make the best decisions, so I focus on transparency, responsiveness, and education at every step. My goal is not just to close a deal, but to create a smooth, confident experience that leads to long-term relationships and repeat business. If you're looking for an agent who combines deep industry experience, technical expertise, and a client-first philosophy, I'm here to help you move forward with confidence.

FAQ
First and foremost, get pre-approved (not just "pre-qualified").
A real pre-approval tells you:
• your true budget
• your estimated payment
• what price range you can compete in
If you’re selling your home in today’s market, the key is to treat it like a product launch—not just a listing. Start by pricing it strategically based on current comparable sales and buyer demand, not last year’s peak headlines, because buyers are more payment-conscious with today’s interest rates and overpriced homes sit longer and sell for less.
Focus on making the home “move-in ready” by handling small repairs, decluttering, deep cleaning, and improving curb appeal—these low-cost items often produce the highest return.
Professional photography and strong marketing are essential, since most buyers form their first impression online and decide whether to tour within seconds.
Be prepared to negotiate: concessions, rate buy-downs, and flexible terms can attract more buyers and protect your net proceeds.
Lastly, work with an agent who can guide you through staging, pricing, and negotiation while keeping the process smooth and protecting your bottom line—because in this market, the best results come from smart strategy, not luck.
I have worked with all kinds of clients, from first-time home buyers, to 55+. I have extensive experience with Relocation clients.
I recently sold a home for a couple that were moving out of the area. Timing was key to this as they were building a new home and needed to close on both within days of each other. My guidance and experience helped make the transition smooth for my clients.
I was in the IT industry for over 30+ years, and felt that it was time for a change. I love working with people, and being able to utilize the skills that I obtained during my IT career led naturally into the Real Estate industry.
I am very comfortable with technology, and keep myself up-to-date on current market trends.
