About Phillip

I am passionate about people and building long lasting relationships with them. I love living in Newcastle and am very parochial about how great it is to live in such a wonderful part of Australia. I pride myself in building strong rapport with clients due to my professionalism, honesty and high work ethics. Prior to becoming a Director/ Business Partner at Crawford Real Estate I worked at Newcastle Permanent Building Society (The Perm) for over 10years in business development and relationship management, in-fact the last 5years as the Treasurer. Having worked in the finance industry for over 20years mostly in the Financial Markets sector I have gained extensive knowledge of how the mortgage market operates and how this relates to the Reserve Bank of Australia when it is setting the official cash rate which influences the interest rates banks charge for mortgages. This has a major impact on the housing market when it comes to people buying and selling their homes which can be very stressful and with my knowledge I help my clients understand the process and lessen the stress. My passion for getting the best results for my clients is matched by my passion for supporting local charities such as Variety the Children’s Charity. Crawford Real Estate provides services including property sales, property management (rentals) and will work with clients for all their requirements relating to real estate. Away from work I love spending time with family and friends, travelling, collecting wine, playing golf, watching the Newcastle Knights and enjoying the lifestyle the Newcastle region has to offer.

Excellent market knowledge with a very professional sales approach.

We have used Crawford Real Estate to manage two rental properties in the Newcastle area for almost 30 years. They have done a very professional job over that time. When we decided to sell one of the properties Phillip Swan become involved in the sale process. He accurately assessed the property's value and negotiated a very good sale price. He kept us up to date every step of the way during the short time that the property was on the market. We highly recommend Phillip Swan. So much so, that we will use his services to sell our second property.

Excellent agent

Would highly recommend Phil, he's an incredible agent who has gone above and beyond for us and secured us a result we are ecstatic with. We have limited experience with the property market and Phil provided all the guidance and expertise we were after from our agent.

great negotiator

Phil accurately gauged the market appeal of the property, and the buyer interest. He communicated clearly and on the day, negotiated a good outcome for all parties. Thanks, Phil.

Professional and friendly!

Phil was easy to deal with and very open about the property we were interested in. Always accommodating and prompt to answer any questions I had. As afirst time buyer, I had many. He helped me understand what to look out for and research I should be doing independently. Easy to deal with and I would be happy to deal with him again.

Genuine Outstanding Personalised Service

Phillip's reputation for professional quality service, and an honest genuine approach, is completely understated next to the actual experience. Throughout the sales process I saw a passion and dedication demonstrated and backed by close-knit team that easily met my very high expectations and took the sales-vendor relationship above and beyond. His and their ethos of achieving the very best outcomes for all is frequently demonstrated through consistent and timely communication, clearly based on extensive experience, and backed by relevant thorough current market knowledge. I honestly gave Phillip a run for his money and in response saw a genuine depth of character and seasoned professionalism shine through. Seriously can't thank him enough!
