Before picking Phil, we identified several top-rated realtors we could potentially go with and interviewed each of them (we just couldn't go off of other people's recommendations alone). Phil stood out as someone that would really look out for us and would have the charisma, tools, and experience needed to give us an edge in this unreasonable market. Well, he certainly proved us right. Phil patiently guided us through the process - all its ups and downs, and all the hope and disappointment that comes with trying to find your perfect first home. We never felt rushed or pressured, and even though I felt like we were being very discerning, he always reassured us that this was the right thing to do and that it was important we find a home we could truly love. When the time finally came and we found "the one", we hit a major snag: the price was beyond our hard limit. Yet somehow, Phil managed to negotiate it down by a sizable amount - very uncommon for a new development. But forget all that - give him a call yourself and ask him questions! He emphasized from the get-go that it's important to have a good fit and to find the right realtor for you. He certainly was the right one for us, and he could be the right one for you too.
