PHIL, was reliable, very helpful in helping us to resolve issues and has good communication skills. He was always available and amenable.

Many of my neighbours have sold recently or are trying to sell and Phil is getting better prices than any of them. He communicates very well so when an offer came before auction $30,000 more than a similar home I jumped at it. If your looking for a bloke who delivers on what he says and tells you how it is then Phil's your man.

Phil was easy to talk to and answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly. As first home buyers, Phil made our purchase smooth and straight forward. We would recommend Phil to anyone looking to buy. Thanks Phil - for all your help!

Phil was the most efficient and hardworking agent we have ever used. He achieved a sale price well above what we were expecting in only four days. I would not hesitate to recommend Phil to handle the sale of you property

It has been a pleasure dealing with Philip and Hocking Stuart, very professional and easy to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble for him, our son who was unable to make it to the auction missed viewing the property, Philip was very accommodating making an appointment on a public holiday to show our son through his house. Many thanks Phil.

With historically low interest rates currently in place the hunt for property is extremely competitive and nowhere more than on the Mornington Peninsula. My wife and I have been lending a helping hand to my son and partner in this search that took us from Rye to Dromana. After about six months of disappointment I began to think we simply were not going to get on the home owner's train in this area. Phil Down from Hockingstuart placed our names on their early alert service which provided us with an edge into this competitive situation. He sent us a picture of a house that I immediately felt was right but it was not available for some weeks. When I spoke to Phil about it he made special arrangements for us to view the property and he came in to do this on his (no doubt very valued) day off. Phil took our offer straight to the owner and rang me twice on the way home to discuss the situation. Twenty four hours later the house was sold to us through a very organised and streamlined process. We are extremely satisfied with our purchase and the service we received and have no hesitation in recommending Phil Down from Hockingstuart to anybody buying or selling property on the Mornington Peninsula.

From start to finish of the sale of our property Phil was open and honest about everything. He didn't make promises he just told it as it was and he was spot on in every way. We could not have asked for a more professional person to represent us and our property and the result was outstanding. We were recommended Hocking Stuart Rosebud to manage our property and they did a sensational job over the years and because of that trust, we didn't hesitate when it came time to sell and we only have admiration for Phil and his team on the outcome. 5 Stars +

Very quick efficient sale

Phil came to meet my partner and I at the end of a long and frustrating search for our first home. He was quick, available, reliable, persistent, trustworthy and a nice bloke. Not something I could say for all the agents I now know by first name. We will never forget Phil's hard work for us. Thanks so much.

Upfront, quick, easy process. Made himself available, returned phone calls promptly and also accommodating.

Phil did a great job selling our land. We were extremely happy with price and all aspects of the sale. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Phil in the future.

Thank you for your support in helping us to sell our house. Is was easy to communicate with you and you worked late hours to secure the sale. We felt comfortable and at ease with our decision and not pressured in any way. The follow up and advice post sale has been much appreciated. Your knowledge and experience has been evident. Thank you
