Phil was very response to and aware of my needs. He had a very strong knowledge of the current property market in Napier's various suburbs.

Phil did a great job over the whole process. We had a few challenges with delays with our bank, but he remined calm and helpful through this phase. He did a brilliant job through the negotiation process, and we felt his feedback was fair and reasonable. Really, made the whole experience less stressful and we are grateful to him for that.

Phill was fantastic to work with throughout the sale of my house. He is extremely knowledgeable and always took the time to answer every question I had, no matter how small. His professionalism, dedication, and clear communication made the whole process much smoother and far less stressful. I would highly recommend Phill to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Phil helped me immensely with the purchase of my first home. Phil provided valuable property advice, providing comparable sales data and property documentation in a timely manner. I really appreciated his preparedness and flexibility when it came to arrange private viewings. As a first time buyer, Phil was patient and prepared to answer the myriad of questions I regularly had about multiple different properties. Phil provided straight forward advice and guidance. I found Phil to be very knowledgeable about the market, professional and he really helped build my confidence as a buyer while we worked together to find my first home.

As first-time buyers, it was nerve-wracking, and we weren't sure what to expect, but Phil explained everything in detail. Taking calls odd hours of the day, texting with no issues. Only willing to help and assist as much as possible. Knowing the markets and the arrears around. Even after moving in, he is still keeping in touch to find out how the move went and if everything is all right. Keep on being such a good agent with so much passion to help, it will make it easier on everyone buying their first home. We are grateful that you were our agent and will definitely refer you to others.

While my experience with buying and/or selling real estate is limited and I apprehensively entered the process as a virtual novice, my experience with Phil Carmine at Tremains in Taradale was thoroughly enjoyable. Tremains in Taradale had been recommended to me by a friend who lives locally in HB. I approached Phil during a quick drive-by while I was in HB, keen to set up a link with his company several months before the option of a sale was actually possible. I was coming from the other side of the North Island, reaching out from New Plymouth for his assistance in selling my father's home in Hawke's Bay. From the very first moment I contacted him, Phil was accommodating, pleasant and professional and he kept all communication clear and unambiguous. Nothing was too much of a problem for Phil and he even once or twice turned up on a weekend or his day off to meet with me and offer advice on the few occasions I had been able to make the lengthy five-hour drive to be in HB. It mattered not one bit that we had to conduct much of the process remotely, via phone call, email or text on the occasions I was not in HB. I was delighted with the result, with my father's home selling above GV in less than a month. I truly now regard Phil Carmine as a friend and would instantly recommend him to anyone (in any part of the country) to contact him for his services.

Phil was an outstanding agent throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to understand our needs and provided clear guidance at every step, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.

Phil is amazing at what he does. He was very flexible and passionate from the first day we met him. His intentions were pure and genuine and filled with positivity as he helped navigate this journey with us to purchasing this property. Would highly recommend him. 10/10

Phil was easy to work with, and made himself available over the summer holiday period. Nice, no bullshit guy.

Phil guided us through ever step of the journey with sound advise and knowledge. He genuinely takes an interest in the process and endeavored to get the best result possible for us which he achieved. Phil handled the whole process himself so we were kept well informed. We thank you Phil and genuinely appreciate your efforts.

Phil was really great to deal with, in a very relaxed and friendly matter. There were a few tricky situations during the purchasing process, but Phil dealt with these in a very professional manner and obtained the best solution for all parties. I’d highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to buy or sell. I’ll be using him, when we decide to sell, but he’ll have to wait awhile, as we just love our new home.

Phil was great to work with! He was the most honest agent we came across. He made sure to tell us to be realistic with what we were offering as he cared about us as people, not just as commission. From the day we met to the day we settled and beyond he was super approachable, easy to get a hold of and nothing we asked was too much. He got stuff done almost immediately. I would recommend him to any buyer or seller in a heart beat!
