I have been told that I have a reputation for being a no nonsense agent with a straight-up approach which has gained a wealth of repeat customers and clients. Let me help you achieve a premium price for your property.

Born and raised in Central Otago makes this region home for me and cemented a long term plan to settle here permanently.

It took longer than expected, however here we are. My wife Rose and our three sons, Sam, Jack and George arrived from the Kapiti Coast in 2004 where I managed a large real estate office and previously sold property.

My Real Estate career began 25 years ago at Lawrence, West Otago while running our Backpackers Hostel (Oban House). Real estate sales took my full attention and became my passion which lead us to sell Oban House and move to where the real estate market was larger. Dunedin was home for several years before relocating to the Kapiti Coast. This proved to be a great move for our family as the real estate market was very busy which helped my business grow very quickly.

I enjoyed the competitive environment of working within a large team and for a

multi-office company which provided a high level of training. The knowledge and experience gained over this time was very rewarding which provided many awards as a top national performer within the industry.

The next challenge was to gain an agents licence (AREINZ) which was issued after two years of study and block courses at Massey University in Wellington. This licence enabled me to start planning the set up of my own Real Estate Business.

The plan to relocate to Wanaka came to reality in 2004 when the offer of a one year contract to manage an existing Wanaka real estate company was accepted. This ended up being nine years until finally, Prime Real Estate was formed and we opened our doors in February 2013. I have been told that I have a reputation for being a no nonsense agent with a

straight-up approach which has gained a wealth of repeat customers and clients over the past decades. I like to help people achieve their goals and gain premium prices for their properties.

"My husband and I have worked with Phil Gilchrist and his team at Prime Real Estate over the last few years.  We have been on the buy-side and sell-side of his services and regardless, we have found his approach to be highly professional and responsive, and very importantly, extremely transparent and authentic.  We were always kept informed of progress each step of the way and all our requests were efficiently and positively dealt with.  I am pleased to say that we also achieved results above our (and market) expectations every time!  Phil is an experienced realtor and what you see is what you get.  No bells or whistles needed as his proven track record speaks for itself and demonstrates his success.  Sincere thanks to Prime Real Estate for incredible and reliable service.  We would wholeheartedly recommend you seeking advice from Phil if you are looking to buy or sell in Wanaka."
