Throughout our acquisition of a 220-year-old mixed-use commercial /residential property in historic Old Town Alexandria, VA, Peter Crawford’s knowledge, affable support, and guidance were exceptional. From the outset, he identified issues that we needed to consider, brought clarity to a complex transaction, and helped us to understand and navigate the finances, title, risk, and market considerations that were critical to our decision making. Peter’s analysis was exceptionally detailed and thorough, his regular communication was clear and timely, and his ability to anticipate issues before they became obstacles made a critical difference in keeping the deal on track. No other agent would have engaged at the level Peter did! His efforts included financial and cash-flow analysis, evaluation of property condition, and analysis and synthesis of market data to enable us to evaluate project feasibility. He spent numerous hours at City Hall reviewing historical records of land boundaries and ownership considerations of our 220 year old property. He identified and arranged for reliable contractors to complete the numerous necessary inspections and surveys. In the end, he delivered to us a comprehensive two-volume compilation of all documents related to inspections, appraisal, land title surveys, repair estimates, and insurance documents that effectively comprised a thorough feasibility study. It had been many years since we made an investment in real estate and having Peter as our Realtor gave us tremendous peace of mind throughout this complicated purchase. We felt confident at every stage because Peter ensured that all parties and participants were coordinated and that our best interests were always first and foremost. His professionalism, dedication and calm affability elevated the entire process, and we’re grateful for the five-star plus service and exceptional value that Peter Crawford brought to this historic building purchase.
