Very professional agent.

Phil was very professional in dealing with us the vendors and the potential buyers. He listened to our expectations and offered us very good advice on the presentation, marketing and auction of the property. His experience of sales in the local area was also of benefit and we received feedback following each open-for-inspection day.Thank you Phil for your excellent work and support in this whole process.

Prompt and Informative

Having dealt with Phil Down during our recent house purchase, we were impressed with his prompt, informative and no hassle demeanour. Nothing seems too much trouble for Phil and we would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling real estate.

I definitely recommend Phil and his team

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!

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.

Flawless job - perfection!

Flawless job - perfection!

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

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.
