Listing our property was quick and easy. Phil kept in contact with interested parties which resulted in a quick sale.

In 2024 we put our 465-hectare Dairy, Beef, Forestry Farm up for sale. Initially we had very little interest from buyers regarding the sale of the farm. We believed that potential dairy farmers were not interested in buying forestry, and forestry farmers were not interested in buying higher-priced dairy farmland. Phil came up with the idea of subdividing the forestry from the dairy platform by possibly dividing the farm into two blocks. One block consisting of mostly forestry and the other block for dairy farming. This worked out to be the catalyst to bring back buyers wanting only forestry land and dairy farmers that wanted the lower dairy platform. As a result of the subdivision, a higher total price was realized from the sale of the farm in November of 2024. Phil did a fantastic job of keeping my wife and I fully informed during the marketing process. Ian and Valerie Rew

Phil worked hard on our behalf ensuring a smooth process for the vendor and purchaser in what was a quiet market. Good communication and marketing.

We purchased a grazing block through Phil Badger. Phil was super approachable from the get-go. He has great knowledge about the area and the specific property. The purchase process for us was a long one (due to sub-division) and Phil was always available and happy to answer our questions, provide guidance and keep us informed on progress along the way, including post-settlement. We would definitely work with Phil again in the future and thoroughly recommend him to potential buyers or sellers. Thanks Phil.

Phil was great to deal with, really looked after our interests, particularly in a tough climate and got us the best deal on the day.

Worked hard and very considerate. No pressure and relaxed experience. Easy to work with. Very good marketing. Drone marketing was great. Would hire him again and recommend him to others.

He did well. He’s easy to work with and he and Marlene are a lovely couple. We have lived on the farm for 50 years(approx.) and hadn’t had much to do with real estate people. We were very happy and would recommend them.

From the moment we called Phil for an evaluation to calling him a fortnight later from near the bottom of the South Island and saying "put us on the market " we couldn't have felt safer. By the time we arrived home the marketing was organized, photos taken and open homes up and happening. From those instructions to put us on the market we were in the auction room 4 weeks later and successfully sold our beautiful home. Phil was incredibly patient, helpful, and informative. Always available to answer any queries we had or put our minds at rest when we got a little nervous. We cannot speak highly enough of the service Phil gave us. Thank you very much.
