We were so fortunate to have Phil come our way to help navigate us through a difficult and involved deceased estate. 

Phil went out of his way to come and meet us at our convenience and to fully explain to us what Tower would be able to achieve for us in our quest to finalise the sale of our uncle’s property.  He is both personable and has the ability to put simply the procedures and systems that need to be in place, to achieve the best possible sale.

To us Phil really became a “project manager” of the whole process of selling the property from beginning to end.  All unnecessary worries of dealing with the large numbers of people involved were removed. 

We were equally impressed with the agent that Phil found for us and the auctioneer for the day.

We can only recommend him and Tower to the highest possible level and thank him for all that he did for us. 

Phil W, Executor (Melbourne VIC)


“Phil, thank you for all your support, professionalism and diplomacy with the selling of our home at a difficult time for us.”

Vendor (St Kilda VIC)


Dear Phil,

…Could not have done it without you mate.

Buxton Real Estate ( Mentone, Vic)


“The last couple of years presented some challenges to me. The passing of three family members left me as executor for their estates. It was an overwhelming experience and with advice from my solicitor, I decided to engage Tower Property Advisory. From the beginning it was a stellar choice. Phil was extremely helpful and definitely made the process of selling easier for me. He was available to discuss issues and guide me through a fairly emotional time. I was relieved of several tasks when Phil organised estate agents, inspections, reports and consultations. The connection was beneficial and I felt completely confident in the obvious experience Phil brought to the table. The professional support he offered was insightful and the final auction resulted in a price that exceeded expectations. I would recommend Tower Property Advisory without hesitation.”

Cathy, Vendor (Melbourne VIC)


Hi Phil, Thanks for your guidance and assistance - the journey has been so much easier and a terrific outcome.

Vendor (Prahran VIC)


It has been a pleasure working with Phil and having the support of Tower through this sale process. You have all taken a huge strain off me at what is quite a challenging time.

Alan, Vendor (Northcote)


Hey Phil…great result! That made the thinking, effort and expert advice worthwhile. Thanks! I can’t quite believe it still…thank you so much for everything you have done to make this process so smooth and navigable. Hugely appreciate your efforts.

And thanks again for all your help over the last year or so. We’ve hugely appreciated your efforts and advice through this process. Couldn’t have been a better outcome - just getting our heads around it still. 

It is funny how ‘place’ can be so important to your identity - I do feel like I have said goodbye to a huge part of my history and that is tough. The service you have provided helped so much - you respected the importance of this property to us and guided us toward making the most of the opportunity it offered. 

So thank you.

Vendors (International)


Thank you again for all you did in preparing our property for auction; for selecting the real estate agent and for support on Saturday. The result was really outstanding.

Bob, Vendor (Seymour, VIC)


Many thanks once again for your thoroughness and wonderful assistance throughout the entire process of selling my rental property.

I will not hesitate to recommend Tower to anyone in need of excellent service.

Terri, Vendor, (Hawthorn East, VIC)


Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

For your caring, understanding and support in selling mum’s house. I am so appreciative and grateful I had you. You made the process so simple and stress-free for me.

I hope you and your family are all good in the lockdown.

Thank you again.

Peter, Vendor (International)


I wanted to take a quick moment to say thank you to the team at Tower Property Advisory. It’s rare that I take the time to do this however I thought important to share my experience. Recently I went through a marriage breakdown and the associated court and legal proceedings for this to happen. Unfortunately it was difficult and it meant that I needed to sell off all 4 investment properties in 3 different states, while go through a divorce and try to deliver on my family and work responsibilities. It was very clear that I was not going to be able to do this on my own.

I was lucky enough to source the help from Tower Property Advisory. Outsourcing this difficult responsibility was one of the best decisions that I made. After taking me through the process at a pace I was capable of managing, they helped me to prioritise the sales, manage tenants out of properties at no charge to myself, secured the best real estate agents within the area, Coordinate Marketing campaigns, renovations, staging across all 4. Mike was with me at Auctions and assisted in driving up the price of the property. Importantly Mike was incredibly understanding of the fact that my marriage and conversation had broken down and managed the discussions and decisions between both parties.  

Costs were managed appropriately and second quotations were sourced when either Mike or myself were unsure of value. In addition to this Tower will do their best to make their fees cost neutral to you by negotiating with Agents to reduce their own fees. While this wasn’t possible across all properties it made the process affordable and manageable for me. I like most don’t buy and sell property daily, understanding the market and real value can also be a challenge particularly in 3 different states. Working with Mike and the team at Tower was one of the best decisions I have made and would recommend the team to anyone.


Thank-you Phil so much for all you did. The process was made so much easier with you guiding the way.

Best wishes to you for Christmas and 2020 and once again many, many thanks.

Valda Vendor (Niddrie)


Dear Phil

As we come to terms with what happened last night, I wanted to again say a quick thank you for all your assistance throughout this ‘whirlwind’ process.

From the first meeting you provided us with a calmness and this, coupled with your experience, made it a relatively stress-free campaign.

In our wildest dreams we could not have predicted this result - thanks for all you have done to help us achieve this.

Mark Vendor (Carnegie)


Hi Phil

The auction was an excellent result. Your professionalism, knowledge and assistance have been absolutely exemplary and we would have no hesitation in highly recommending Tower Property Advisory to future prospects.

Thanks again for everything.

Derek and Paula Vendors (Kew)


Dear Phil

Just wanted to say thank you for your work. Today’s auction result was beyond my best hopes and everything you’ve done on the preparation and sales end has been stellar.

Well done and thanks again.

Brendan Vendor (Box Hill North)


Dear Mike

On behalf of Mum and Dad, we thank you for looking after this matter. Having the details worked out by someone that knows what they are doing was a relief for the family and we were pleased that you were the ‘go-to’ person with the Agent.

We consider the matter successful too.

Thanks again for being so contactable and easy to work with.

June Vendor (Blackburn North, Vic)


Dear Phil

I really don’t think there are words to describe how very grateful I am for everything you and your team have done to help get my property ready for sale. I simply could not have managed this without you. The result was amazing and a testament to your hard work. Again, thank you.

Anne Vendor (Coburg, VIC)


G’day Phil. I’d just like to say thank-you for the great job you & the team at Tower have done in selling Mum’s house. It was a big job that was handled professionally and with great transparency. I wish you all the best in the future.

Andrew, Vendor (Croydon South, VIC)


I feel the whole team did a wonderful job getting the unit sold. Phil, I appreciate your care, friendliness and most of all your professionalism in the way you handled the project.

Tessa Vendor (Clayton South, VIC)


Tower mapped out the entire sale process. So rather than having to negotiate and deal direct with agents, tradespeople and conveyancers we were able to outsource it all.

Their independence gave us absolute comfort that they were on our side only, not acting in part for the purchaser. The result proved this, with the cosmetic work resulting in a $70K uplift over valuation!

Malcolm Vendor (Bentleigh, VIC)


It was a great relief to be able to outsource the sale of our home to Tower. Their prime focus was taking the time-consuming tasks off our hands and getting top dollar.

Tower even provided funding for improvements and the expense was easily justified by the extent to which the sale price exceeded all agents' expectations. Selling property has so many challenges, but Tower approached the task rationally, respectfully and cost effectively.

Jill Vendor (Essendon, VIC)


The time had come to sell our home and transition into aged care. Our first inclination was to simply engage an agent, as we were conscious of costs given the aged care bond.

But by involving Tower, they negotiated down the commission and marketing budget from the agent, disposed of all our unwanted belongings, funded the required repairs which freed us from the time and stress involved in dealing with these issues.

On top of this, Tower attended the auction with us and the sale result exceeded our wildest expectations

Lotte Muller Vendor (Malvern, SA)


We were very happy with the service we received from Tower Property.  Phil Hoopman was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and ensured communicated with us constantly.  The house was presented so well, we couldn’t believe it was the same property.  We’d recommend Tower Property without hesitation.

Ksenija Skoda Vendor (Pakenham, VIC)


“I’ve worked with you since 2008. There’s a distinct difference between you and other property presenters in terms of your business model, property management knowledge and level of experience. This ensures superior outcomes every time.”  

Adrian Foster Director Hocking Stuart


Tower provided valuable advice and peace-of-mind to me and my co-executor for a deceased estate sale, and handled all the little (and big) things we didn't have time to do ourselves.  Not only did they give us confidence in appointing an agent, agreeing on an auction strategy and setting a reserve price, they also organised and financed improvements that made a big difference on auction day.  Their stylists and tradespeople were professional and incredibly reasonable for the work done, as were their financing arrangements. 

Tower took care of everything from initial quotes to property access, and gave us reassurance that we were achieving the best possible outcome for the beneficiaries. 

Liz Kofoed Executor.


“Just a quick note to say thanks for helping me with the sale, definitely a tough one and I couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you.”
