We have worked with Phil on and off for over 20 years buying and selling many properties in Wellington. So when we decided to sell our family home, as all our children have moved north and we still live outside of NZ, it was a given we would engage Phil. Both Phil and his wife, Cath, recommended what we needed to do to present our house looking its finest. We followed their advice which included staging and some landscaping activity at the end. We were unconditional 10 days later! Settlement was 21 days after we listed our property for sale. Unbelievable at the higher end in a flat Wellington market. Hats off to Phil and Cath for expert advice and for locating the right buyer at the right time. This is the reason we have repeatedly returned to Phil when looking to buy or sell! We appreciate his straight up professional approach.

We first came across Phil when we were looking to buy a high-end apartment in Wellington. It takes allot to impress us when it comes to real estate agents, however Phil did just that. Professional, knowledgeable and not pushy. As a result, when we came to sell our apartment 5 years later, we were only going to use one person and that was Phil. Phil didn't disappoint, the apartment sold quickly for a price we were happy with. We wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend Phil again.

This is my first home purchase experience and thank you to Phil and Catherine for making it a smooth and seamless process. My queries were promptly answered, keeping me informed of the development and the constant guidance and support till the end. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Phil and his team. His professional service and support is invaluable, kept the price negotiation simple and smooth, and I am glad to have Phil and his team as my agent.

Highly recommend Phil Mears. I wanted to sell my home quickly and right from the start he was extremely professional, knowledgeable and hard working to make the sale happen.

We used Phil and Lisa from his team to help us sell our Mother's property in Upper Hutt. Phil's professionalism and understanding of the local market was exceptional and the result was a quick sale above our price expectation - Definitely 5 star service

Professional, friendly, trustworthy and experienced agent who ensured my house sold for top dollar in a buyers market. Phil worked hard to sell my house, providing me with great advice around the preparation of my house for sale and the market. He ran a sharp and effective marketing campaign that generated a lot of interest and his excellent communication and negotiation skills secured an offer and achieved a sale I was thrilled with. Five star agent all round! Thanks Phil!

We returned to Phil at Tommy’s to sell our Wellington property, having previously purchased through him some years ago. Phil has always been approachable, personable, and professional, with an exceptional understanding of the local market. From start to finish, the sales process was seamless — communication was clear, consistent, and we always felt genuinely cared for. We followed all of Phil’s advice and had complete trust in his ability to deliver the best possible outcome. This was an emotional time for us, as we were relocating due to redundancy, and Phil’s empathy and support made a real difference. His ability to tune into what we were going through was truly his superpower. Thanks to Phil, our property sold within two weeks with a great result and a short settlement period. Having now worked with him on both sides of the real estate journey, we can honestly say it’s been a real pleasure. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Phil to anyone.

Phil was so lovely during the buying process- especially for a first time buyer. He was very quick and thorough at getting information from the vendors. He went above and beyond to help the sale move swiftly and was very helpful walking me through the whole process and working with my lawyers. I would definitely work with Phil if I decide to sell one day.

We recently sold our house with Phil and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Phil was a fantastic communicator who really listened to our needs and guided us through every step of the process. He was always available to answer questions, provided clear advice, and made what could have been a stressful time feel much more manageable. Phil’s support, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We felt confident and well looked after throughout the entire journey. We’re so grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home.

Phil and Cath were extremely professional; Phil went over and above what you would expect from an agent. We would definitely use Phil again if selling in the area and would recommend him as an agent. He had all the contacts for helping us sell the property. Thank you so much Phil and Cath.
