Peter Watts

Vancouver island Real Estate Specialist

After 25 years in hospitality, I have gained an in-depth understanding of customer service. 

My name is Peter, and I specialize in providing personalized and high-quality real estate services to buyers and sellers on Vancouver Island.

As a successful real estate agent, I credit my achievements to my focus on putting "service first". My hospitality and tourism career spanning over three decades across thirteen countries and three continents (primarily in the tropics) prepared me for my current profession. Initially, I managed some of the Caribbean's most extensive dive facilities, worked as a restaurant owner and chef, and later as a hotel general manager, where I won numerous awards for excellence in service and guest satisfaction.

I am an active community volunteer and one of the co-founding members of Tourism Cowichan. Throughout my career, my focus has been on business development, sales, and marketing campaigns. I spend time researching and understanding the market, developing marketing plans that are imaginative, current, and can demonstrate a provable return.

I was born in England and grew up in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) where I developed a love for sports such as rugby, tennis, and water skiing. In my teens, my family moved to Durban, South Africa, where I continued playing rugby for the school/university, local town, and state. I also enjoyed surfing at the local beach but fell in love with scuba diving on a visit to Mauritius. Scuba diving soon became a professional career, initially as a treasure hunter in the Caribbean and later as a scuba instructor in various resorts worldwide.

Real Stories, Real Experiences

Peter was fantastic for our cross province move

Peter was fantastic for our cross province move. As we were moving from Alberta to Vancouver Island, and we didn't have a specific location on the island determined, Peter was able to accommodate our requirements with our wants. He was able to view houses on our behalf, and help us pick the perfect home. Short of helping us pack & unpack our boxes, Peter assisted in every step of our journey!!! We couldn't be more pleased with the help and knowledge he provided.

Outstanding to Work With

Peter was outstanding to work with and was extremely attentive and responsive. At the time we were working with Peter the real estate market was very difficult and stressful to navigate, but Peter was supportive and flexible in trying his best to meet our needs. Peter sought out answers to our questions and communicated them to us in a timely and professional way. My husband and I would highly recommend Peter as a real estate agent.

Eager to Create the Best Experience Possible

Initially, i felt pressure to list, which added more stress when we were trying to find a place to rent. He valued my concerns/criticism, was empathetic and eager to create the best experience possible. Ultimately, he stumbled upon a rental (above and beyond) and everything fell into place. Peter was always mindful, reassuring and very professional throughout the process. We are very happy with the sale.

Truly is a Wonderful Agent

The best realtor in the business! He was the perfect personality for my husband and I. Laid back but still present and aggressive when needed for a deal. We felt completely looked after the entire step of the way of all our deals and falling through in this market. He truly is a wonderful agent that I hope has many more years in him for others to experience him and go through what feels like a stressful process that he makes pretty pain free for first time home buyers!

Thank you so much Peter, I look forward to working with you in my future endeavours as well!

Friendly, Reachable, Professional and Supportive

Peter was very friendly, reachable, professional and supportive. From the beginning, he made us feel very comfortable. Furthermore, Peter was very warm and welcoming.
