A little about me

Introducing Phil Gilchrist, Your Trusted Central Otago Real Estate Expert

Welcome to the heart of Central Otago, where I, Phil Gilchrist, proudly call home. Born and raised in this picturesque region, my roots run deep, solidifying a lifelong commitment to make Central Otago the permanent backdrop for my family and career. The journey to settle here was a deliberate one, and despite the twists and turns, I find myself standing in a place I can genuinely call home.

Family is at the core of everything I do. My wife, Rose, and our three sons-Sam, Jack, and George-made the transformative move from the Kapiti Coast in 2004. Prior to our arrival, I managed a thriving real estate office and had a successful tenure in property sales.

My real estate journey commenced 33 years ago in Lawrence, West Otago, where I balanced real estate sales with running our Backpackers Hostel, Oban House. The allure of real estate soon became my passion, leading us to sell Oban House and relocate to areas where the real estate market presented more significant opportunities. After a stint in Dunedin, we found ourselves on the Kapiti Coast, a move that proved instrumental in the rapid growth of my business, thanks to a bustling real estate market.

Working in a large team and for a multi-office company in the Kapiti Coast provided me with a competitive environment, rich training, and invaluable experience. The culmination of these efforts resulted in numerous awards as a top national performer within the industry.

The next logical step in my career was pursuing an agent’s license (AREINZ), a feat achieved after two years of intensive study and block courses at Massey University in Wellington. Armed with this qualification, I began crafting the blueprint for my own real estate business.

The dream of relocating to Wanaka became a reality in 2004 when I accepted a one-year contract to manage an existing Wanaka real estate company. What was initially a one-year commitment blossomed into nine fruitful years, culminating in the establishment of Prime Real Estate in February 2013.

Over the years, I’ve earned a reputation for being a no-nonsense agent with a straight-up approach. This straightforward attitude has cultivated a wealth of repeat customers and clients who appreciate my commitment to helping them achieve their goals and secure premium prices for their properties.

I am [Your Name], and I am dedicated to making your Central Otago real estate experience seamless, rewarding, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, trust in my expertise to guide you through the journey.
