Todd is great to work with! Low pressure and he really helps point out the good and the bad with all properties! Never once felt pressured to do anything I didn't want to! Very helpful and accommodating with scheduling showings! I would recommend him to anyone that is looking to purchase a home! Very knowledgeable of all aspects of home buying and inspections and really knows what to look for when shopping around!

Todd was very professional when it came to finding and purchasing my home. He was laid back and let you make all of the decisions while offering insight when needed. Todd would go out of his way, and did go out of his way to ensure I got the home that met my needs the most. Now if I have any real estate questions he is my first contact and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.

Todd was referred to us by my sister who uses him as her realtor when buying rental properties. He was great to work with. He is very prompt and honest and we found him to be very helpful in the search for our home. We highly recommend Todd to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We intend to consult him in our future endeavors.

We were very happy with Todd Peterson's assistance in selling our RENTAL property. He sent weekly updates to let us know the number of showings and we appreciated the feedback and comments from those who viewed our property. Todd was always upbeat, friendly and encouraging in the tough market we were selling in. We would definitely call on Todd in the future to again act as our agent! Sincerely, Stephanie and Jim Langston

I found Todd to be very knowledgeable and very helpful during my search for a house. I liked the fact that he didn't pressure me or rush me along in the process, he promptly responded to any question that I had, and ultimately he was able to successfully navigate the process required to purchase a HUD home. Highly recommended.

Todd was very helpful when I was buying my house he would give me honest impute what he thought the houses I was looking at where worth, he would point out some things that I didn't catch in my personal inspections, that where good or bad. He never seem to really care about the amount of houses i looked at, I know i must have looked at over 15 house before buying one. I would highly recommend Todd Peterson as a realtor for first time home buyers. One last thing that i really liked about Todd as a realitor he told me he was going on vacation for a week and I proceeded to send him the house addresses i wanted to look at and he would still while on vacation send me all the information about the house.

When we met Todd we were new to the area and new to the home buying process. We were very lucky to have him help us buy our first house. He did more than just show us houses, he helped us learn about the whole process from financing to insurance. It was nice to have someone that was available to us when we had questions or wanted to see houses. He always responded promptly to our emails, phone calls, and text messages. We have been in our new house for about a month and a half now and we are very happy with it. We would highly recommend Todd, he did a great job and we consider him our first friend in our new city.

My husband and I were trying to decide on an agent to help us find our first home together and we had worked with several before meeting with Todd Peterson. Todd was very personable, honest, and definitely seemed to go out of his way to make sure he provided the best experience for us as possible. After viewing several houses, Todd made a call to a past client who was originally on the market as for sale by owner but he was more than willing to work with Todd due to his own good past experience with him. It turned out to be the house we made an offer on and bought. Making the offer, signing papers, and the whole process was really manageable and Todd was available for any questions throughout the process. In the end, Todd helped us find the perfect first home for us at a price that couldn't have been better! We would definitely recommend him to anyone! Less

I was referred to Todd and contacted him with a general idea of what I was looking for, and then Todd went to work to try to find homes that would fit what I was looking for. We toured a lot of homes, and all of them had qualities that I was looking for. He had a great knack for understanding what things I really wanted to zone in on, and directing me to properties that would fulfill those. After a few weekends looking at houses, I finally settled on the house I wanted to go for. He did a great job of explaining the process to me since I was a first time home buyer. I always felt like he was looking out for my interests and made the whole process very smooth. He has a great personality, and I enjoyed his ability to be professional when he needed to be, but also not be afraid to work with me on my level. He gave honest, straight-forward opinions and advice, but still made sure that I was making the decision for myself. Less

My family and I were living in Sierra Vista, Arizona when my wife, who is an Active Duty Soldier in the Army, came down on assignment for the Rock Island Arsenal. So after talking it over, we decided that we wanted to buy a home this time instead of renting a home like we were doing at that time. I went online one evening on the internet and since we had worked with Remax Realtors in the past, I conducted a search for agents in the Rock Island/Quad Cities area. Lo and behold, Mr. Todd Peterson's name was the first one to pop up, so I sent him an email letting him know that we would soon be moving to the Quad Cities area and were looking to buy a home. Todd sent us a few of the listings that were in the area within a few short days, and my wife and I began looking through them. After searching through the listings that he had sent to us, we decided that we (my wife and I) were going to fly out to meet with Todd and take a few days to make some visits to the homes that we expressed interest in to him. So we flew out to the QC area, and met with Todd and began our search. After about two houses in of viewing, he began to get a good feel for what we were looking for, and we noticed just how personable he is and how much effort he puts in to helping his clients. We looked at several homes over a 3 day period with two of them ending up as good prospects; but both were missing a few small details that my wife really wanted. The thing that really impressed us about Todd the most, was his professionalism mixed in with a lot of personality; plus how fast he picked up on what we were looking for in a home. It was like we clicked right off the bat; like we had known him for years. After the first couple of houses that we looked at, he eliminated a few of the other homes on the list just because he knew that we would not be interested. Although we didn't find what we were looking for on that trip, we were confident that he could and would find a place while we were headed back to Arizona. And sure thing, he did. We had been back in AZ for about a day or two, and I was back online looking at the list of homes that he sent to us, and we found the one we were interested in. To be sure that it was really the one, my wife wanted to get a better warm and fuzzy on it, and since flying back out to Illinois was out of the question, we asked Todd if he would go to the house, take a good look at it, and take pictures of it. We were confident that he knew what we wanted in a home and that he would let us know if it wasn't what we wanted. To end this long story, he went and looked at the house for us and took pictures of it; inside and outside...I mean a lot of pictures of it. It turns out that this was the house for us. So basically, through Todd going to look at the house for us and take pics of it, we were able to make our decision on buying that house, UNSEEN. I will tell you that it was the best decision we ever made. We are very happy with our decision and very please with Todd's efforts. To this day, our families are very good friends. I would recommend Todd Peterson as a real estate agent to anyone. We came to find out at the signing that we were his very first sell. I will tell you, that if we had to do it all again, we would chose him again. Mr. & Mrs. Anthony and Collette Jones Less

This is the second time we have worked with Todd. Again he went above and beyond with us. This time we were selling our house and turned to him for feedback and his expertise. We went back and forth on listing it and asked many (MANY) questions. He was patient with us and never once pushed us to list. We finally listed on a Friday and had a call for a showing the very next day. Todd called after the showing with an offer (which was later accepted). We had the house listed for one day, had one showing and one offer. This is almost unheard of in this market...but apparently not for Todd. Today we closed on the home and it is bittersweet. We are happy that Todd sold our home but sad that we will be done doing business with an amazing Realtor. Thank you Todd. You did a wonderful job both as a buyers agent and a sellers agent. We consider you a friend and hope to keep in touch. Less

My Husband and I met Todd at an open house. We were just starting to look for our first home and were not sure on what we wanted. Todd showed us many houses and was very patient while we figured out what we wanted in a home. The House we ended up purchasing wasn?t even house that I asked to see it was one that Todd thought would be perfect for us. We love our new home and we appreciate that Todd helped us find our dream home. Todd never made us feel like he was just trying to make a sale. He made us feel comfortable and always answered any questions we had. He would go out of his way to answer our questions immediately. We liked that he would text or email us. We felt like he cared more about finding us the right house instead of making a sale. We will use Todd when we sell our home and we would highly recommend Todd to anyone. Less

We met Todd by chance seeing a property he listed, and we are glad we stayed with him to show us other properties. He was knowledgeable, but most of all honest with every question and concern we had. One aspect that sets him apart is his willingness to use modern forms of communication. We sent sent constant text messages and emails back and forth to set up showings and make offers on properties we were interested in. This was especially helpful with both of us working full time through the entire process. Overall he was helpful, professional, and made us feel he genuinely had our best interests at heart. Less

We listed our house with Todd and were very happy with all he has done for us. Todd kept us informed at all times. He would send us a weekly report and let us know what people had to say about all the showings. I think we talked to him at least once a week. After a few months the house sold. He also sold our daughtes house in just a week. It was great working with him.

We trusted him to the point of turning our back on our number one choice (or any home for that matter) when it appeared that the seller was not willing to work with Mr. Peterson. It turned out that the seller had a change of heart and we are now in that home! If you are looking for a Realtor in the area we strongly recommend Todd. Less

We used Todd to assist us in looking for a new house. He was always more than willing to help us out and even stop in for a last minute look at a house. He is an amazing Realtor and very knowledgeable. He would make time for us even though he lived in another city and had a little bit of a drive to do it. He told us what he honestly thought and made sure that he did not express any misunderstandings. He was thorough and made everything make sense for us when we did have questions. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone!! We not only gained a wonderful new home but a friend. Thank you Todd! Less

We were relocating back from out of state with limited time to find a home. Todd went out of his way to work with my schedule on a short trip back to not only look at the homes we were interested in but get the offer signed and accepted before I had to leave. Todd's energy and resourcefulness made the process so much less stressful. We are now looking at selling a home and purchasing another property. We look forward to working with Todd again to make it all happen!

We initially chose to contact Todd as our agent by looking on-line for an agent in the area we were interested in, hoping his local insight would make our search more successful. We were not disappointed, Todd was quick to get appointments lined up and when we went to see the properties he had a lot of information at hand about them. Whenever we might have a question he did not have an answer for, he got back to us with the information soonest, Once we found the house we wanted, he walked us through the whole process with confidence and expertise, working well with the seller, their agent, our financial institution, and of course us.

I did most of my shopping for a house online. However, when I found a house I was interested in and requested a viewing Todd was quick to respond. He set up a viewing the following day. At the time, I was about to start my busy season and once I had seen the house knew I wanted to make it happen quickly. He got the negotiation process going and everything after that went very smoothly. He is great at keeping in touch with his clients throughout the process and responding to their needs.

Todd was excellent. I have tried to sell my home twice to eventually take off the market. This time I went with Todd and my home sold in 60 days. Living out of town can make some logistics a little more work. Todd was wonderful and went the extra mile to contact people and get things done that I needed to do during the inspection time. This was a pretty stress free home sale and it is due to Todd taking care of what needed to be done.
