Peter Au is a principal and co-founder of the Avant Team at Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, where he is recognized for his strategic mindset, depth of industry knowledge, and steadfast commitment to client success. After graduating from the University of California, Irvine, he began his career in real estate in 2005 and worked in residential lending, property management, and escrow services before transitioning into advisory work.

Known for his calm presence and strong analytical instincts, Peter has built a business driven by loyalty and long-term relationships. His clients trust his judgment, seek his advice even after closing, and repeatedly return to him when life circumstances or investment goals evolve. Peter believes real estate is an investment in both lifestyle and legacy, and he approaches each transaction with the intention of delivering not just a successful outcome but a meaningful strategic advantage for the families and investors he represents.

Peter has served as President of the Asian Real Estate Association of America’s Orange County Chapter and continues to support community and industry outreach around education, representation, and access to opportunity. As a principal of the Avant Team at Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, he pairs deep local market expertise with global reach, leveraging relationships across the Pacific-Asia region to expand possibilities for his clients in a way few advisors can.
