"Always Available"

""We feel very fortunate to have hooked up with Pete Madden and his team to sell our home.

He and his team made the entire sales process as smooth experience. We did not just get a Real Estate Agent, but we feel as we gained a new friend. He is super pleasant to work with. Any time of the day Pete is always available to answer a question either by phone, text, or email. The other important factor is that he lives in the town he represents which is so important in today's volatile market. We enjoyed every aspect of working with Pete."

- John and Holly W., Maple Glen, PA

"Friendly and Down to Earth"

"Pete Madden's expertise in current market values and prime locations in Ocean City helped me find the right home. Pete's honesty and integrety were invaluable as I felt that I could trust his assistance in making a good financial decision. He is friendly and down to earth which made the process go smooth and made me feel comfortable. He treated me like a personal friend. He was definately the man for me and sure to be the one for you, too!"

- Catherine C., Ocean City, NJ

"Loves this Community"

"It's because of Pete Madden we're in the house we love. We had been casually looking for more than two years and had very specific needs. Pete assured us that he would find the right home. Through his extensive network of contacts he notified us about this house before it even went on the market. The moment we walked in the front door, we knew he hit the nail on the head. Three days after the house was under agreement someone had noticed Pete in front of the house and called to say they were interested in the house and Pete had to tell them they were too late. He continued to use his resources to help flip our former home in fourteen days. All of this was accomplished in a down market.

Pete is as real as people get. He gave us 110% from day one, and has continued to work just as hard after the sale. You get a true sense that Pete loves this community and he works hard to make sure you feel the same way."

- Bill and Anita M., Palermo, NJ

"Made Us Never Doubt His Opinion"

"We recently purchased a lovely home in the Gardens section of Ocean City. The house has every amenity needed for our large family which includes 8 grandchildren. We had been in the search for a house at the shore for years, and the main reason we finally settled on the house we purchased is because of our realtor, Pete Madden.

Pete's knowledge of properties and land available for sale in the Ocean City area is vast. That, coupled with his grasp of current market prices, made us never doubt his opinion on property values. He was excellent at comparing properties and never hesitated pointing out the pros and cons when asked.

Pete was very astute in analyzing our likes and dislikes, and kept on track while showing us properties that accommodated our needs. During the time we were actively looking, he lined up appointments at available properties in a succinct time frame, and we always felt our visits were productive. He also, after analyzing our needs, suggested houses we might not have considered which, in the end, was what led to our final purchase decision.

Once the agreement to buy was established, Pete's attention to detail became apparent. He facilitated every facet of the purchase process. From arranging the inspection to overseeing some needed construction work, Pete's availability and prompt response made for a smooth transition.

We could not attend the Closing (nor could the sellers) but Pete's organizational skills and availability - made what could have been a difficult process, a very simple transaction. The bank, the insurance company, the legalities, all came together for a seamless Closing. He also accommodated us by agreeing to have the sale completed in Philadelphia.

We highly recommend Pete Madden for his communication skills, his knowledge of inventory, his prompt response, his attention to detail and his professional manner."

- Suzanne and Philip F., Merion Station, PA

"Never Pressured Us"

"Pete did a terrific job helping us find a great summer home in Ocean City. He is very professional, always available and very well informed on the market. Pete worked with us for the better part of 2 years, never pressuring us to rush our decision. He helped us not only find a home to purchase, but also located the perfect home for us to rent while we continued the search for our summer home. Even after we negotiated our purchase agreement, Pete continued to provide us with excellent support. He has excellent contacts in the related legal, insurance, home inspection and home improvement fields which we were able to rely on throughout the closing process. We highly recommend Pete's services to others."

- Mike & Kathy P., Holmdel, PA

"Our Experience was Phenomenal"

"Pete made buying our beach home so simple. He really listened to what we needed and what we wanted. Pete then found us the perfect house. We were looking for something great for us and also something that would make our tenants happy. Pete found it and closer to the beach than we expected. Pete has exceeded our expectations in every way. He made the process easy and enjoyable. He was always accessible, answered our questions honestly and found us the house of our dreams. Our buying experience was phenomenal. We couldn't be happier to join the Ocean City Community and would not hesitate to recommend Pete to anyone buying a home in Ocean City."

- Kevin and Amy M., Glenside, PA

"Confident and Informed"

"Pete is a pro. I was selling one property and buying another and he was always a step infront of me. He made me feel confident and informed throughout the process. I have recommended Pete to friends and family because he is a man of high integrity and always looks out for your best interests."

- Michael B., Wilmington, DE

"Attention to Detail"

"In May 2010, we settled on our vacation home in the Gardens of Ocean City, New Jersey. Purchasing/Building a home long-distance can be an overwhelming experience. However, with Pete's guidance through the entire process, we were able to find exactly what we wanted and sailed smoothly through any obstacle that came in our way. His attention to detail through this process was incredible. In addition to Pete's outstanding professionalism, his expertise was tremendous - whether it was recommending a quality inspector, helping us set the parameters to narrow our search, or always being available to answer any questions we had. Prior to building our home Pete assisted us in renting the previous three years. Again, Pete made this experience "simple."

It is imperative to have a real estate agent who can respond at a moment's notice, assist in overcoming the hurdles that arise during the home buying and building process, and stand by you every step of the way. Fortunately, we were able to find all of those traits with Pete. Pete was always available by text, phone or email. We never had to wonder where he was. We would gladly recommend Pete to anyone looking to buying or renting a home in Ocean City."

- Rita L., Chaddsford, Pa

"It Was Our Dream To Own"

"I am 50yrs old, have been married for 17yrs, have two young boys and I have worked with my hands for my entire life. I am frugal and know the value of hard work. My wife and I have always loved the ocean in general and the Jersey Shore in particular. It was our dream to own a beach house someday. We had all but given up.

Pete Madden works hard. He stayed in touch with us every year for years even though we were not in a position to buy. When we were ready, I called him and said it would have to be the deal of a lifetime. He was undeterred and called me back in 24 hrs with just that.

Through negotiation, settlement and even since he has been available at the drop of a hat for my every question and concern. I consider him an expert in every phase of property purchase and ownership at the Jersey shore and Ocean City. Pete Madden is smart, straightforward, honest, patient, dilligent, hard working and grateful. Someone I can easily relate to. I owe it to Pete that we were able to find the fabulous South end condo that is truly our second home. We love it there. We go down at every opportunity. It has changed our lives. It never would have happened if not for Pete.

Patient and Sincere"

"A few years ago we happily met Pete Madden, a full time Realtor, resident, coach and most recently, OC Board of Education member, when we stopped by a Prudential Office, “just looking” for a cozy condo in Ocean City.

We toured a few places and headed home impressed by Pete. His first hand knowledge of the town, the advantages/disadvantages of each property shown, and his understanding of our price range and goals, made him the perfect real estate professional for us. He was patient and sincere in his dedication to finding the right spot for us. He matched us with mortgage experts. and we were pre-approved to buy a great little spot on Park Place.

After a couple of years, we knew we would eventually want a larger permanent home in OC and decided to sell. The property sold through Pete’s skills, attention to detail, and integrity. We are looking forward to retirement so he can find us a perfect permanent home in OC.

Whenever anyone talks about moving to OC, we say call Pete first. He is market-savvy, up to date on existing and upcoming property listings and is dedicated to adding you as a happy neighbor in his hometown."

- Shawn H., Merchantville, NJ

"There For Us Even After the Deal Was Over"

"Buying a summer home can be a very stressful investment, but with Pete's guidance and professionalism our adventures became fun and very satisfying. We found our dream house in weeks and Pete has always been there for us even after the deal was done. He is someone we can trust and feel comfortable with his judgement."

- John and Mary Lou B., Southampton, Pa

"Trusted Partner"

"Pete was a tremendous advocate and guide to us throughout the process of buying our home. From beginning to end, we felt 100% comfortable that Pete was listening to us and that our personal and business interests were understood and being advocated. He was extremely proactive and genuinely concerned about our preferences and needs. Above all else, Pete is easy to work with: we never felt "talked down" to and he made the transactional aspects of the purchase quite simple. We really felt like we had a trusted partner every step of the way."

- Melissa L. and Harper W., Philadelphia, Pa

"Took Care of Every Last Detail"

"We had a great experience purchasing an Ocean City property with Pete Madden's assistance. Pete was very responsive to us and quickly found several properties that met the specifications we requested. We successfully purchased our property without ever having to travel to Ocean City to complete any part of the transaction. The first time we saw the property in person was when we vacationed in our property the summer following our purchase and we are delighted with the property, the location and Pete's assistance in helping us rent the property to others. We will definitely call on Pete again if we are in the market to purchase more Ocean City property"

- Rob and Allison F., Ohio

"Honest As They Come"

"To say that Pete Madden is your typical Realtor would be like comparing the Sistine Chapel to the mural on the Moorlyn Theater! It’s not even close. Pete was invaluable to us when we purchased our home. He took care of every last detail including some surprises thrown from the sellers Realtor at closing. He is honest as they come and truly works for his clients and their total satisfaction. Additionally, Pete is well known and respected in the community. He strives for perfection in both his business and personal life. His approach to each sale is to use them as stepping stones to future business, which is a key ingredient to success. Finally, Pete has connections to just about anyone that can provide services to your home and this is invaluable as a new homeowner. Pete Madden in my opinion is the most successful Realtor in Ocean City! My wife and I now have a Realtor and friend for life in O.C."

- Michael and Ann Marie P., Birchrunville, PA

"The Guidence I Needed"

"In 2005, I was purchasing my first home. Being a first time home buyer, I knew I would need a Realtor who would be patient and understanding of my anxiety. Pete provided me with all the guidance I needed. There were various home inspection issues that arose and Pete guided me through every step of the way. He helped me to get a low price, allowing me to put money into the house once I purchased it. Even after purchasing the home, Pete remains a trusted resource to me. His door is always open. I recommend him highly!"

- Andrew M, Ocean City, NJ

"The Perfect Match"

"My wife and I were looking for just the right Ocean City home. Pete listened to our needs and wants and found us the perfect match. I had about a million questions. Pete was always available to promptly answer all of them with patience and intelligence. Throughout the process Pete never pushed and always put our interests first. Even after the papers were signed, Pete continued to guide us through the settlement process, making sure everything was in place and we were properly represented. After settlement, Pete continued to work for us. Pete is not only a great guy, but extremely knowledgeable and professional. Every person in Ocean City that I have dealt with, other realtors, insurance agents and mortgage agents had the same thing to say, “anything for a customer of Pete’s.” I wouldn’t think of working with anyone other him."
