What clients say
Sixteen Years. Three Days On Market. One Team.
The Royster Real Estate Team have been my realtors in both buying and selling for the last 16 years. They worked hard to get me the best offer when selling my property. They're extremely responsive and cared about my time and my needs. Peter and Vicky allowed me to work at my own pace throughout the process which was extremely important to me. They take the stress out of the process.
The personal attention was there from day one — paint, floors, the photographs. Here we are 16 days later and we're under contract. I will forever recommend and hire you.
We moved out of the country during the sale of our house, and Peter became our house's surrogate owner — coordinating maintenance, being our eyes and ears. Look no further.
Peter did not fit the mold of realtors out to just get you a "house" and move on, he was there to make sure you got a "home". Being new to the whole process, Peter patiently walked me through every painstaking detail and every question I asked of him. On top of that, he gave me unbiased opinions of each and every home we viewed to enhance my decision of things I didn't know to look for, but didn't pressure me in any way; it was all my pace and the market. Now many years later I found myself needing to sell my home. You can guess who I called. The sale was effortless, and the photography he did made my house look far more stunning than it was; in my opinion. My house sold the same weekend it went up for above asking price.
