Both my wife and i have known Philip over a long period of time and this is the 3rd house we have sold with Philip and bought 1 with his assistance overall we have owned and sold 4 houses over 46 yrs living in Whitby. Philip has been very committed and with some of sales at times when the market has been soft for sellers he has always managed to get our sale over the line in tough economic times. Phil is punctual friendly professional, at all times has kept us informed of the processes and decisions we highly recommend Phil as an agent. When not buying or selling and we see Philip around the suburb he always has time to stop for a chat and catch up about what is happening locally. As we bid farewell to Whitby after 46 yrs we wish Philip and his team all the best and every success for the future. Neil & Jane Hickey

We were selling a modest house in need of maintenance. His advice was practical and considered. The house sold on schedule.

Basically we chose Harcourts because you were available over the holiday period when we were ready to put 10 Deptford Lane on the market. You offered a more competitive commission rate than the opposition and you were willing to list the property without extra advertising, photos and staging. We felt that as you were based in Whitby Village you would have the best market knowledge of the area and know or attract likely buyers. We were kept well informed by you regularly and you were able to find a serious buyer within a surprisingly short period. It can be a stressful experience selling a property but we did not feel that you put us under any unnecessary pressure. You acted professionally throughout.

Philip provided clear advice and updates. He was knowledgeable about the area and could advise us on the best steps to take, and the merits of different offers. He provided constant support and avoided making us feel pressured in any way.

Philip was great in many ways, brilliant communication and feed back, very friendly and relaxed demeanor. A pleasure to work with.

Philip was involved in the purchase of our home (via Professionals) over 15 years ago, and oversaw its recent sale, under the Harcourts brand. He is trustworthy and engaging and was a natural choice for us. Working with the wider team, Philip led a well-managed marketing campaign resulting the sale. Negotiations and communications were well honest and timely.

In all honesty selling a house remotely is not easy at all. Philip and Harcourts went out of their way to make it as easy as possible. So I have nothing but praise for Philip. Thanks for your time and patience Philip Lynne

We were selling from out of town and a quick internet search pointed to Philip and his team as being the market leaders in the area. We went straight to them and were not disappointed. Great team, no nonsense, and professional service from all involved. Highly recommend.

We could not have been happier in our dealings with Philip. He was very open and communicative. No question was ever too stupid and he really made an effort to make sure we got all the information we needed. When it comes time to sell this house, there is no doubt we will be turning to Philip to help us do it! A true professional.


Philip's real estate knowledge is second to none and the vendor is the beneficiary of his superior expertise. He is proactive with updates throughout the process whilst providing professional support. In my experience, as a vendor, Philip surpasses any other agent that I have ever engaged.
