From the moment we initially met with Phil until the successful sale everything went as planned. Some agents tell you what you want to hear in order to get your business and make statements or promises that sound great but amount to little. Phil was direct, straight down the line and honest. He recommended strategies that he felt would be best for us, stated realistic outcomes without overinflating our expectations. He is knowledgeable about the market and he kept us updated regularly. We got a result above our expectation. Dealing with Phil and his team was an easy experience and it got result according to the timeline we specified - exactly as he suggested we would. For us this was a 4 week campaign that went exactly according to plan and with a minimum of fuss and zero "hot air" to overinflate our ego's or expectations. We highly recommend Phil and his team. Kind Regards, Linda & Elio.

Just using their data base Phil and Lorraine from Hockingstuart sold our property within 2 weeks for a price that exceeded our expectations! They achieved what the other agent couldn’t in 2 months. We highly recommend Phil Down and Lorraine Verdaasdonk if you are looking for an excellent agent. Phone them immediately!

Philip Down is an agent you can trust with confidence. He responded to my on line enquiry with enthusiasm and provided timely follow up to appointments. His expert knowledge and judgement gave us an exceptional result. You can rely on his professionalism and sound advice.

The boys did a great job selling my house. Nothing was to much trouble. A big thumbs up from me

We found Phil to be great to deal with. He assisted us along the way with a clear marketing strategy, and constant feedback from opens leading up to our Auction. He remained professional throughout, maintaining a realistic and common sense approach which suited us. We were thrilled with our Auction result.

When looking at property to buy I always remembered Phil, though we didn't buy from him at the time. He is the perfect combination of no fuss/get the job done without all the hyperbole, and his response times via email and phone are better than anyone I've ever encountered in real estate - immediate (if not sooner!) When it came to selling property we didn't even consider anyone else, and our faith in him was rewarded. A sale prior to auction and an absolutely HUGE profit - couldn't believe it. To sum him up I guess you would have to say 'genuine' - you just know that he's decent and honest and on everyone's side, and you can rely absolutely on what he says. 10/10 Phil, and we're so very grateful!

Hi Phil, Just a line to say how pleased we were with the way you handled the sale of the property. We were amazed how everything took place in 5 weeks from initial contact to completed sale. You were helpful, courteous and sufficient. Many thanks. Alan & Trish Bright

Philip Down from hockingstuart was s pleasure to design with before snd after the purchase . Highly recommended to deal with .

Once again, Phil did an awesome job for us. This time finding us our dream block. From the moment we listed our home for sale with him, Phil kept us informed of any potential properties within our budget but most importantly what we wanted. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Massive thumbs up.

Phillip has been great to deal with through purchase process, he has great local knowledge and helped us with a lot of our questions bout the area in which we purchased.

Phil Down Hocking Stuart - Rosebud pdown@hockingstuart.com.au 0423515490 Hocking Stuart- Rosebud has a great reputation for delivering high quality agents and professional staff. One agent in particular is Phil Down, with his expertise and professional knowledge of the Real Estate Game he went far and beyond to help us accomplish exactly what we wanted. Phil sold our property within 3 weeks at a record breaking price. I believe Phil is there to help you reach what you're looking for and work for you, I would recommend Phil to anyone I know without a doubt.

We spent 3 months with another agent and no sale. We sort other agents. We literally bumped into Phil as he was leaving the office for the day. He didn't put himself first, he took us in and we spent almost an hour with him, going over the details of our parents estate. He even had the patience to come and look at the property with us that day. We had spoken to other agents and we were waiting to here back. Phil did not pressure or show disappointment when we said we will get back to him even though he had spent so much time with us. The other agents didn't even call us back and the ones that did were your classic 'go get em' type that would put people off with their 'Pushiness'. Probably similar to our previous agent We gave Phil the go ahead, we already knew the whole story as Phil was honest and direct about the fees ect. Phil had a contract of sale for us within a week! Not only did he know the right people to take through this exclusive residence, but with his honest, calm, informative approach as well as his pleasant nature, this sale was not just a lucky coincidence. Clearly we had the right person for the job. The whole sale was absolutely streamline; From the sec32 to special conditions, contracts and final hand over. Not a hick up or worry in the world as Phil is one of those rare people these days who actually keep you informed every step of the way. We feel Phil is a highly competent agent with the personality that exudes, pleasant and capable. We highly recommend Phil for any real estate job and recommend he be rated Number 1 in Australia. We all wish Phil the best in work and life.
