High efficiency, Good service, hard worker. I appreciate your help in purchasing property.

Phil kept me informed all the way through the process. At the end his negotiating skills sealed the deal and I was happy with the price obtained.

Phil was remarkable to deal with. He was very professional and experienced. Knowing and understanding what our expectations where and providing us with the comfort that we were in the right hands. He handled the sale of our property very diligently and exceeding our expectations.

We highly commend Phil for his exceptional service during the recent purchase Of our Rosebud West property. Phil made himself readily available at all times and ensured that we were fully informed He showed obvious concern, and all aspects were addressed, which made the Whole experience stress-free. We found that Phil’s handling of the sale ,to be above and beyond the call of professional conduct. This resulted in the whole process being a smooth and enjoyable transition. In my 45 years of buying and selling my own properties, I have never met a better, honest and caring agent as Philip Down.

In January 2015 I decided to sell my property in Vickie Court Rosebud. Having been in Real Estate for 8 years myself, I pretty well knew what I wanted in an agent and what it takes to sell a property as quickly as possible and with as little fuss. The biggest issue I had was that I live in North Queensland and couldn't physically meet the agents at the market appraisals. Like most people I decided I would chat to three agents who I believed held biggest market share in the area, then book flights and travel down to Melbourne to meet them before picking one to use as my sales agent. I wanted to give the job to someone I thought was very much like myself in business, hard working, loyal, honest, upfront and most of all didn't just tell me "what I wanted to hear" Having spoken to two agents on the phone I decided straight away they weren't for me.... push tactics, upselling a sales plan I didn't like or just sounding slimy...... Many Agents do that well. I was then contacted by Phil Down who straight away came across as pleasant, believable, a nice family guy, had solid area knowledge but most of all a person who I could tell, my target market would relate to and trust. Without even meeting Phil in person I felt confident to use him as the agent, I wanted to represent my property. Very quickly and with no fuss he organised the pictures, advertising and a couple of weeks of open homes. The rest is history...... The property sold in 16 days for a great price and I am one happy seller. I would have no issues recommending Phil and his team to any future seller in the Peninsula area. The follow up after contracts were signed was great and his congratulatory phone call on settlement day was very nice to receive also. I wish Phil all the best of luck for the future and hope his family who I heard so much about, enjoy camping along for foreshore again next year. Regards Ben Chrimes

An exceptional agent both on a professional and personal level. A pleasure to deal with even on his days off would make the effort to attend the purchased house so we can do measurements etc. and even pops in after hours to discuss things. HIGHLY recommend Phil and the whole team at Hocking Stuart Rosebud.

Phil worked extremely hard to sell my property which had previously not sold with another agent. Phil did a great job with advertising and finding the right people to inspect the property and getting us the price we were after, Phil was very quick to reply to emails and phone calls also his weekly reviews of our property were great. I would highly recommend Phil to sell or buy your property with and will using you again in the future. Thank you Regards Karl .

When I met Philip I found him to be very pleasant and not pushy at all. Was always helpful in anything I needed to know and willing to go out of his way.

Thankyou for your support in finding the right unit. From the time I first saw the unit to the signing of the contract your professionalism and helpfulness were of a very high standard.
