Phil Gilchrist from Prime Wanaka recently sold our 5 Star Luxury Bed & Breakfast business and home. Phil was recommended to us by friends, he had successfully sold their property by auction.


Right from the very first meeting with Phil we found he listened to our requirements and was sensitive to our needs. He explained all the different methods of marketing our property and why he recommended us using a ‘Dead Line Sale’


We found Phil to be very professional and considerate throughout the whole process. He always responded to any of our enquiries immediately and showed us patience and respect.


We highly recommend Phil, and regard him as the best Real Estate Agent we have ever dealt with, he worked extremely hard for us and achieved an excellent result.

‘Excellence in home selling’


Phil and the team at Prime Wanaka have been outstanding. My experience includes both the purchase and the sale of my home. I was greatly impressed by the service I received as a buyer few years ago that when it was time to sell my home I entrusted Phil. He is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, hard working, an excellent communicator and has great attention to detail. I sold my home from the distance, the team at Prime Wanaka made the process seamless. Highly recommend Phil and the team at Prime Wanaka.


Kind regards,

"Their level of personal commitment to sell our property was exceptional."

We have owned a twin unit investment property in Anderson Road Wanaka. We purchased the property back in 2007 of plans. It came to pass that we should move on so the decision was made to put the property to market. Then course we were confronted with the question; “What realty company should we work with. […]

We have owned a twin unit investment property in Anderson Road Wanaka. We purchased the property back in 2007 of plans.


It came to pass that we should move on so the decision was made to put the property to market. Then course we were confronted with the question;


“What realty company should we work with. Do we use a large national company or a smaller local business that is in effect a family business?”


The outcome was as good as pennies from heaven, we meet Phil Gilchrist Managing Director of Prime Real estate Ltd.


Phil and his family members run a highly successful business and their level of personal commitment to sell our property was exceptional.


There was none of the typical sales chatter many large players employ to condition the vendor. Our meetings were highly professional, honest and instructive.


From get go to acceptance of an offer, took little over 1 week.  The result was an outstanding success thanks to the Prime Realestate way of working carefully with both the Vendor and Buyer. We are planning to build a new retirement home in Wanaka next year and without second consideration we will be back with the Prime team.


From our experience, it is not about how many agents a realty business employs. It’s about professional dedication and respect for both buyer and seller that gets the best results over the finish line.


Thanks again to the Gilchrist team … what a splendid result!!

"Phil impressed me from the outset"

I bought an apartment in Wanaka in 2021 and Phil was the agent. Phil impressed me from the outset giving all the necessary information, space for decisions, support and help but never pressure. I didn’t hesitate to get Phil on board to sell the same apartment two years later.    Phil is at all times […]

Phil is at all times a gentleman; quietly spoken but informative & efficient. I was out of town when the sale went through, Phil organised for me to complete the process with a colleague close to my location making the entire process stress free. 


 


I would not hesitate to use Phil, Sam & the Prime Team in the future to buy or sell property.
