Welcome to the PETER de GRAAF Real Estate Team

PETER de GRAAF
Team Leader
& Sales Representative

Peter de Graaf brings energy, hard work and more than a combined 30 years of experience to every real estate transaction. Since joining RE/MAX in 2004, Peter has been one of the company’s top agents, and the team was the #1 RE/MAX team in Muskoka in 2016-2024. The creation of “The Peter de Graaf Real Estate Team” was the culmination of all his years of experience and the realization that the world and the Real Estate business were quickly changing and it was time to embrace “change” to take his business to the next level or get left behind like so many other realtors have experienced. The team approach to Real Estate also provided Peter and his team members with an improved quality of work/life balance which has given them more support and enjoyment/satisfaction within the office, enabling them to spend more time doing the other things in life that they love to do as well as spend more time with their families. The team has produced happier Realtors that, as a result, are better able to provide a higher level of service to their clients. It has become a “win-win” for the agent and client. The team approach to Real Estate is the only way to meet today’s consumer and industry demands-it is the “future of Real Estate”. Peter is the proud father of Abigail and Kate and lives in Bracebridge, ON with his wife Kim. Peter is an avid traveler, outdoors and sports enthusiast, on/off road motorcyclist, snowmobiler, skiier and cottager. Peter attended the University of Guelph where he obtained a degree in Management and Economics.

Team Testimonials 

PETER de GRAAF

PROUD TO REFER THIS TEAM! – I can’t sing my praises for Peter and his Team loud enough. The property that was SOLD wasn’t without its challenges and I was impressed by their endless follow up and excellent communication. Whenever I am asked who I would hire to take care of my real estate needs, I proudly refer The Peter deGraaf Real Estate Team!
~ Heather A., Muldrew Lake

THE BEST EXPERIENCE BY FAR – I’ve had lots of experience with real estate. I’ve bought or sold five or six houses, and I’ve got to say that of all the agents that I’ve dealt with, Peter’s the best. Peter gets it. He really does. What we really liked was that he listened. He let us drive the process and not the other way around. He could have tried to push his own listings down our throat, but he didn’t.
~ Cottage buyer Steve O., Toronto/Gravenhurst

PETER WAS ONE OF A NUMBER OF AGENTS we asked to come in and evaluate our home for a possible listing. We found him to be very personable and very professional. He had excellent insights and comments about our property and handled our questions and concerns honestly and directly. He did not give us a quote on his first visit, but came back in a day or so with an intelligent, thoughtful presentation that included the most up-to-date information available to support his estimation.
~ D.G., Bracebridge

– Natasha & Dustin McNabb

WE HAD THE PLEASURE of working with Andrew Pegg as a first-time home buyer and the experience was absolutely outstanding!! Being a first time home buyer we were so new to everything and very nervous to get into the market, but Andrew made the experience so much fun and provided strong knowledge for each property we looked at, as well as amazing patience with us. Andrew has strong communication, super quick responses, and fully understood the home we were looking for. We were able to purchase our first home because of Andrew’s amazing commitment to our needs.

ANDREW KEITH

WE HAVE USED ANDREW KEITH moving from Burlington to Bracebridge. Andrew made this transition possible for us and our two sons. We bought three homes and property in Bracebridge and every transition was seamless. Easy and well executed. Andrew has excellent communication skills, an eye for detail and most importantly, he gave 100% effort and attention and continues to support us here in Bracebridge. He doesn’t stop just because he sold us homes, He continues to make sure we have everything we need to settle in, Highly recommend Andrew Keith!
– AMB

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Andrew Keith represented the sell side in a prospective transaction and I could not have asked for a better agent to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and always open to chat at all hours of the day. Andrew went above and beyond what I’ve seen from typical agents and did so with the added complexity of being 100’s of kilometers away. Don’t think twice about having Andrew represent you for any transaction – you’ll be lucky to have him!
– AK

ANDREW KEITH IS A FANTASTIC AGENT. We have been working with him for 3-4 years now. He helped us find our perfect property to build our new home. We must have asked him to take us to 20+ various properties and homes over the last few years and he always made himself available to us anytime. I highly recommend Andrew if you would like to buy or sell in the area.
– JL
