Extremely easy, Philip was very professional whilst also being approachable and down to earth. He kept good communication throughout the whole process so we never had to ask where we were at, he delivered everything he said he was going to. To be honest, In the past I have hated dealing with real estate agents, I found them really pushy and untrustworthy. My experience with Philip was quite the opposite he never came across as a ‘salesman’ which is something I really respected. I can honestly say my experience with Philip was the best I have ever had with a realtor!

Dylan

Paul was extremely patient and professional nothing was ever a problem, he worked well with Phillip and always seems in control. subsequently his behavior after the purchase was at an incredibly high standard. Not only this but both Phillip and Paul were extremely organic and genuine which is the real X Factor that is missing when dealing with a lot of other real estate professionals, both myself and Rachel, my partner have made comment about this being a rarity when placed in contrast to the rest of our dealings with Real Estate agents in Southland. Simply put when it comes to us selling our home we will only go with Paul or Phillip regardless of who they're employed through.

Craig & Donna

easy to deal with

Andrew & Jacinta

As it was the holidays the Ray White team actually got Paul Sterk to contact us and he was great he arranged for us to see all the house we had picked and by about the second house knew what we were looking for and knew that house number 4 would be it.
