About Peter

With over 20 years of experience in real estate, Peter’s career began with a passion sparked at his very first auction — a 1920s Californian Bungalow sold under the hammer. That defining moment laid the foundation for a career built on results, relationships and leadership.

Peter brings a well-rounded background across sales, property management and sales leadership, having held Sales Manager roles where he successfully mentored agents, drove performance and implemented structured systems to support business growth. His experience spans auction and private treaty sales, residential homes of all eras, land sales, projects, commercial property and long-term asset management, giving clients and colleagues confidence in his strategic advice.

A consistent high performer, Peter achieved place in the $5 Million Dollar Club — a reflection of his professionalism, market knowledge and client trust.

Peter is known for his calm, consultative approach and ability to deliver tailored solutions. Whether leading a sales campaign, managing an investment portfolio or coaching a team, his focus remains on clear communication, accountability and achieving outstanding outcomes.

Peter’s enthusiasm, energy and leadership style foster strong client relationships and high-performing teams, resulting in repeat business and long-term loyalty. He is now looking forward to growing and mentoring a dynamic team with The Professionals Ryder Real Estate Melton team, sharing his experience to build a collaborative, high-achieving and community-focused agency.

Outside of real estate, Peter values family and community. When he’s not working, he enjoys playing the guitar and spending quality time with his wife and children — values that strongly influence his people-first approach to real estate.
