Outstanding service from start to finish

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.

This First Home Buyer highly recommends

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.

Amazing agent with so much passion to help

Amazing agent with so much passion to help

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.

Review of Phil Carmine, at Tremains in Taradale:

Review of Phil Carmine, at Tremains in Taradale:

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 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.

Able to handle the tricky situations

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 is amazing!

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!

Brilliant Agent. Fantastic Result!

Phil was professional and helpful right from the start. His market knowledge was extremely helpful as he guided us through the process of putting our first home on the market. He was able to give us advice on presenting our home well, and talked us through the marketing options, giving great advice on the best options for us. He went above and beyond to get potential buyers through our property and communicated with us throughout the process. We were so happy with the resulting sale of our property and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home.

Phils valuation was perfect. His level of communication kept the process stress-free

Phil is not your cookie cutter real estate agent. He always had a plan b, but worked hard to ensure plan A worked. His level of communication and way of making sure we were getting looked after made the whole process stress-free. The advice he had around both selling and purchasing was gold. He's honest, he's reliable and he's personable.
