When thinking about investing, I started to have a look around at what was available in the local area and found myself attending an open house which was held in Kellyville Ridge. I met with a young man working for LJ Hooker who was representing the townhouse for sale, we had a conversation which led Phillip Nicolas coming to our home for an appraisal. Phil came prepared, he had done his homework, presented himself very professionally, he was articulate and knowledgeable. We had decided to sell our home and upgrade instead of investing in another property at the time, which led us to buy a block of land in North Kellyville, which we were going to build on. The land was not registered at the time and Phil said he would keep in touch with us, to keep us informed of the current market conditions and see where we were up to. Phil kept his promise, he managed the relationship beautifully, never pushy, always polite and respectful, but always kept his word. If Phil said he would call by a certain time, he would, so when the house was ready to go the market, Phil was our ONLY choice of agent to go with. We did not look at anyone else to sell our home. I felt that Phil would be able to negotiate well, he would get the best price for us and he had the market knowledge which gave him the credibility to get the job done....and he did. I would highly recommend Phil to anyone and I have, I find Phil to be honest, credible and professional. Whilst Phil is a great relationship builder he has a certain strength that enables him to stay on track and get the best price. Phil does not come across as a cheesy 'Salesman' thanks goodness. I have actually used Phil as an example to my team of Sales people of recruiters, from the first meeting and the impression he left, through to the management of the process and the outcome. Yours sincerely, Sue Lamb

We met Phil about two years ago and ever since he has kept in touch with either a quick visit or phone call. His warming personality and genuine interest was comforting and reassuring. When it came time to sell, there was no question who we would ask to be our agent. We felt no pressure and believed in Phil's experience, honesty and integrity. Both Hayley and Phil lead us through the marketing process with their commitment and enthusiasm and we saw them more as friends rather than real estate professionals. On auction day we achieved a record sale for Kellyville Ridge and a sale price that far exceeded our expectations. I have had no hesitation in recommending Phil and Hayley to friends and neighbours in the area and will continue to do so. Not only were We were so relieved with the sale of our family home, and it was all due to the commitment shown by Phil and the professionalism that is second nature to him. Thank Phil and Hayley for the record sale!

We recently sold our home at Kellyville Ridge using LJ Hooker at Stanhope Gardens.The agent we engaged was Phillip Nicholas. Right from our first meeting we realised he knew his business.Philip was extremely helpful in giving us good advice including the likely valuation of our home. We only had one open house,with it selling that first weekend.The amount we received exceeded our expectation. All our dealing with Phillip were very positive and professional and we would certainly recommend him to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying in The Ponds/Rouse a Hill area. A big thank you to Phillip and Haley on the stress free sale of our home. Paul and Kerry Thompson.

After buying our house through Phil, we were so impressed with him we immediately contacted him when it came time to sell it ourselves a few years later. We were genuinely so pleased with his service, a friendly down to earth guy who knew our area very well and kept us completely up to date at all times. He and Hayley were a pleasure to deal with and it would be great if all agents were as competent and cheerful! Top marks!

Phil and his team were excellent to deal with. Always very pleasant and provided timely feedback in all the process along the way. They delivered what was expected and we felt that they looked after our interest as best as they can. We will be using Phil and his team for our next sale.

This has been my fifth move since I bought my first home in 1998. I have been avoiding this current move due to bad realestate experiences in the past. Phillip has been a breath of fresh air . He keeps you informed all the way and had made the process seem very simple. He was always polite . Friendly and nothing was an obstacle to him. He is a true professional and I would recommend him and LJ hooker to friends and family. He has restored my faith in realestate agents. They are definitely not all the same. Thanks Phillip I wish you all the very best for 2015 Regards Ascanio
