Whenever a problem or question arouse, Peter dealt with it knowledgeably, efficiently, and professionally. He responds immediately to phone calls and has an excellent marketing program, advertising, and holding open houses. I would highly recommend him as a real estate agent.
Buyer of 1623 Arbor Knoll Loop, New Port Richey
I want to take a moment to share our real estate experience working with Peter Ripa. We lost our home to Hurricane Helene in 2024. We had hoped to be able to rebuild our 1924 beautiful home but had to face the fact that there was just too much for us to take on with a 100 year old home. The thought of having to choose another house to live in was daunting. We rented and looked for over a year. Peter was understanding from the get go. He was so supportive, never pushy and always went the extra mile to help us with our search. He entertained us by looking at all kinds of homes and in different cities. We credit Peter with showing us a home that we may not have originally looked at. The home turned out to be impeccably move-in ready. The information he provided showed us how much he researched the area and answered questions we didn't even know we had. We haven't bought a house in over 20 years and dreaded the process. I still can't believe the level of communication Peter provided through texts and emails and how easy it is to use a Docusign program to complete paperwork online. We closed on our home Jan. 2, and couldn't be more grateful for everything Peter did to guide us through the process. His experience, professionalism and deep knowledge of Heritage Springs made every step feel clear and stress-free. Most importantly, we trusted him completely- his honesty, communication and community-first approach set him apart. If you're buying, selling, or doing both, Peter is the person you want in your corner. His expertise and genuine care made all the difference.

I have known Peter Ripa for many years but when it came time to buy a house, I was hesitant to go through him because I never really like to mix business dealings with friends because of the potential of something going wrong and I would hate spoil our friendship over something that goes south. Anyway, I know Peter well, and I know his commitment, (be it family or work), with everything he is involved with. He is quite possibly the most driven person I know so it made it easy to choose him as my agent. I simply trusted him and as expected, Peter did not disappoint. He informed me with every issue along the way and helped me understand in laymen terms anything that was difficult for me to process. Peter was very patient and never pressured me. He guided me through the process from beginning to end with my best interest in mind. If you are looking to sell or buy and want A+ customer service from beginning to end, I would recommend Peter Ripa. He is absolutely top notch.

Buyer of 17859 Pleasantview Boulevard, Land O' Lakes
Working with John was one of the best decisions we made when purchasing our new construction home in the Angeline community. Many people think buying directly from the builder means you don't need a Realtor, but that couldn't be further from the truth. John negotiated excellent terms with the builder that we never would have achieved on our own, and his guidance more than paid for itself. From the day we signed the contract until closing, John was there every step of the way. He coordinated inspections, connected us with reliable vendors, kept us informed throughout the process, and made sure every detail was handled. Whenever we had questions, he was quick to respond and always had our best interests in mind. What impressed us most was how much he genuinely cared. He wasn't just there to get us to closing. He wanted to make sure we made informed decisions and had a great experience from start to finish. If you're buying a home, especially new construction, I highly recommend having John represent you. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication are second to none, and we're truly grateful for everything he did for us.
Buyer of 12158 Broken Oak Lane, Odessa
Me and my husband found out we had to move out of state for a career promotion, and we had less than 2 months to close on a home and move in. We only had 1 weekend to spare in between the holidays, so within a few days of talking, John had 2 days full of showings lined up and organized. He guided us to look at different areas/ neighborhoods of Tampa - giving us market knowledge along the way. He listened to our "must haves" but also helped us compromise to find the perfect home. The home we purchased had a few items that needed repair- with us being out of state it was hard to facilitate these estimates, etc. John went above and beyond to get those items done for us before and after the house transaction. We couldn't recommend him more! Very knowledgeable, not pushy, and made time for us/ worked with our schedules to get this done very quickly.
Seller of 8312 Swiss Chard Circle, Connerton
John Pestalozzi Jr. has always done a great job for us. Relocating out of state twice brings it's own set of challenges. We have complete confidence in John, walking us through all the steps and having honest and considerate conversations with us as both sellers and buyers. John not only excels in his business, but also has the professional connections with other business to assist during all the aspects of home buying and selling process. I would absolutely recommend Westward Real Estate.
