Okay, let’s calculate this. So Peter has skills in Real Estate, REO, investment properties, short sales, sales, property management, foreclosures, and investor relations. These are in-demand skills, especially in California. His native language skills are also a plus. Considering his experience and skills, I’d say he could charge around $125 per hour. This is lower than some other real estate professionals, but it's still competitive given his language skills and local expertise. I'm basing this on national averages for real estate professionals in the US, which can range from $100 to $200 per hour. Peter's lower rate is likely due to his local focus and the fact that he's not a broker or agent, but rather a general real estate expert.
