Testimonials

"We had decided to sell the family home, which wasn't easy--physically and emotionally. We didn't know where to begin! Phil Watson got us started on preparing the house for sale and guided us thru the myriad of details. We had seemingly unending questions, which he patiently addressed over and over. Our house sold very quickly with his expertise and wide array of listing resources. We couldn't have gotten thru the minefield without him and we'll be forever grateful. Any time we can send someone his way we definitely will. You won't find a more professional, knowledgeable and caring agent to represent you."

"Phil guided us through the process and facilitated the sale of our be- loved condo in San Mateo. From start to finish, he handled the process professionally, but as well, he was very friendly and approachable. This was the first property that I've listed for sale, and I had many questions about the process. Phil walked me through everything giving me great comfort and knowledge. When the time came to move forward with accepting an offer, we did so knowing that our best interest had been kept in mind, and that every opportunity to maximize our ability to show and sell the property had been addressed. Anytime in the future I find myself needing to hire a real estate agent or just needing real estate advice, Phil Watson will be the first person I call. He is exceptional at what he does!"

"If you are looking to sell your home, Phillip is the clear choice. He sold our parent's home in Millbrae. We selected him after a thorough search and interview process during which we compared numerous high quality real estate professionals. Just ask him how thorough we were. Phillip came out on top and he delivered exactly as promised. He kept all five of us siblings happy and in the loop. His advice was spot on and he handled all the details managing contractors and preparing the home for sale. Phillip provided cost effective contractors and carefree project management. In addition we received top dollar for our home. It was the highest price any realtor we had interviewed thought was in the realm of possibilities. You can't ask for more: great service, low cost home preparation and the highest price. Based on our experience, I would say Phillip is the clear choice if you need to sell your home."

"I had been referred to Phil Watson from our first meeting I was very favorably impressed not only by his knowledge and expertise but by his advice and ability to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Although I had interviewed others, Phil was my top pick. I asked Phil to return again when my sister would be available to meet with him; he was so patient with our many, many questions. We were selling our deceased parents’ house which lacked needed updates and repairs (the only saving grace was the location and fantastic views). Phil’s task was to sell this house in an “as is” condition. He provided great advice in preparing and staging the house. Phil presented us with complete market data within the neighborhood and area, he was skilled in getting us to tone down our “wishful pricing” which resulted in getting the house sold above the asking price in two weeks time in an already declining market. Phil is very professional and knowledgeable and I would gladly recommend him again and again."

"I cold called Philip based on a brochure I received in the mail from his office. As a technology professional in the web industry, I reviewed his on-line web presence and was completely impressed by his on-line web marketing as well as web reviews. When I called him we immediately connected and he took the time to walk me through-out the process without pressure. The next day I received a wonderful package explaining how the process works and provided me with sample marketing material. He stayed in touch with me for three months before my home was ready to sell. Never once did I feel pressure. He is a wonderful Realtor who is honest, considerate, and a pro-fessional as well as a true gentlemen. Additionally, he has a wonderful staff and connections. His photographer is also quite amazing. I was utterly impressed by the brochures and on-line presence of my home when it was on the market. As hard as it can be to sell/purchase a home, he made it so much easier by answering many questions and providing me with answers and options every step of the way. I highly recommend him!! "

"As an escrow officer for 40 years I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds if not thousands of real estate agents/brokers. I know their strengths, weaknesses, ethics and dedication to their clients. When my elderly mother decided to sell her home in San Mateo and move into an assisted living facility, she asked me who I would recommend to list her property. The first person that came to mind was Phil Watson. He came to her home and very patiently described the selling process. He told her not to worry about a thing. Since she was downsizing quite a bit, she was concerned about what to do with much of her furniture, clothes, kitchenware, etc. Phil told her to take whatever she wanted and he would take care of disposing everything she didn't need. What a relief that was for a 90 year old woman. Mom moved to Southern California and Phil took over. All of her belongings were removed as promised. He oversaw the painting, repairs, carpeting, gardening, staging and also purchased new appliances for the kitchen. Moms house had become quite worn and within weeks it looked like a beautiful model home! It sold in a few days at more than $200,000 over asking!! Phil is hard working, knowledgeable, and dedicated to his clients. A consummate professional with an outstanding team. I highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs."

"Phil Watson has represented us now for two separate home purchases in a 5 year period. The first was a 2 unit investment property and I am happy to say that we just closed on the second property, which is a beautiful single family home. Both experiences were handled with absolute expertise, professionalism and integrity by Phil. I met Phil five years ago when I was finally ready to act on a long term real estate plan that I had dreamed up. After in- terviewing several Realtors (hiring and firing two of them) I was thankfully referred to Phil Watson. From our first conversation I knew I had found exactly the person I was looking for and have never looked back. As an experienced real estate investor himself, Phil is masterful and methodical in serving his clients’ needs. You will feel validated and respected whether your home price is well over or under the 1 million mark. He not only helps a client clarify the type and price range one is looking for but also the specific neighborhoods. This is a huge time saver because, instead of chasing every house that comes on the market, you become very focused on just the qualifying homes that come to market in the preselected communities that are just right for you. The results from this simple tactic are amazing. From electronic document signing to the delivery of a complete organized binder with all the details, docs and disclosures after the close of escrow the Watson Group is a class act from start to finish. If you have stumbled upon this review, consider yourself very fortunate. I urge you to take advantage of this team. You are sure to be impressed."
