Philip was amazing to work with! I worked with him for several weeks and he was very patient and really listened to my needs. He made apartment hunting very easy! I highly recommend him to anyone! You will not be disappointed!
My girlfriend and I moved to Austin without knowing much about the city.Philip really took the time to really understand our needs like living space, amenities, and walk-ability to cool stuff.On tour day we visited multiple properties in different areas of the city. He was able to convey what it would be like living in the building as well as the surrounding areas.There was no pressure to sign one place or another. He really just wanted us to find a spot where wed be happy.He delivered on our second trip. We all went out after to drink a few beers and complain about the state of Texas football. Good times.We worked with Philip again when we moved downtown to a larger brand-new unit. Same awesome process and unfortunately same complaints about Texas football.Well probably move a third time this fall and well definitely use Philips service. Hopefully Texas is better by then.
Posted this to Yelp and thought it made sense to share here as well, as it was one of those uniquely good experiences that make a review worth posting.----Philip was absolutely great to work with. I presented him with a number of challenges, newish to Austin, very specific locations, a VERY quick turnaround, budget considerations, and more - and he over-delivered on all counts.He was friendly, flexible in his schedule, really listened to what I was looking for in a place and adhered to the budget guidelines we discussed. And frankly, he found me a place better than I had expected. Ive already referred him to others and will continue to do so. Genuinely nice guy and great at what he does.
Working with Philip made a cross country move so much easier! When we first looked into moving to Austin we considered going with another apartment locator service, but as we quickly found out, they were not helpful and quite bothersome. We contacted Philip and he was extremely helpful. We sent him a list of things we were looking for and a few months later we showed up at his work to try and find an apartment. We filled out a small guest card (very helpful and a huge time saver as we toured apartments) and then we were off to see some apartments. He showed us about half a dozen, each with their own unique qualities and merits, but all had exactly what we had asked Philip to find for us. By the end of the day we had decided on one. This would have been much more difficult, if not impossible without Philips assistance. He found us some real gems that werent listed on Google or apartment locating websites. If youre moving to the Austin area, definitely give Philip a call. Itll be well worth it. Highly recommended.
Ive worked with Phillip twice now, and cant say enough positive things about him...In my experience, moving to a new place in Austin is drastically different than moving elsewhere. Austin is constantly building and the atmosphere is dynamic. Ill go out on a limb and say Phillip is the physical embodiment of everything Austin. Hes soaked up the culture and history of the city so well that youd be doing yourself a disservice by not giving him a call before looking elsewhere.His knowledge of the city is matched only by his friendly, caring demeanor. Tell him what you want, and hes got 5 places lined up for you instantly. Hes prompt, attentive, flexible, and responsive. He starts with an overview of the city and points out key differences between each area - this part is extremely helpful. He also seems to have friends in nearly every management group around town, meaning he gets appointments instantly and is always informed of every promotion/deal around town. He can take your budget and find a place youd never imagine could have fit within it... Hell also tell you if he feels youre getting ripped off, then show you better options within that range to help narrow down options.I still keep in touch with Phillip and look forward to working with him for my 3rd move. If youre moving to Austin, my advice would be to call Phil now. Youll be glad you did.
I met with Philip to discuss moving closer in-town and met him downtown on a Saturday after speaking on the phone. He bought me coffee, telling me he had the perfect place. He wasnt kidding! I signed a lease with the first place we looked! It was a studio high-rise unit with wood floors, washer/dryer facing the river. The building was in a great part of town and close to biking, trails and kayak rentals.Philip brought me in at a time when prices for the unit were low to fill the building and I got the place for a reduced rate. He exceeded my expectations with a great attitude, character of service and ease of process. I was happy he found something so unique for the price. I left the lease early to move home but if I ever move back Philip will be the person I call for housing in Austin
I found Philip to be a great apartment finder. He was super honest about what was available based on what I asked for, took me to a bunch of places I never bothered to look at, and ended up finding a great apartment for me. Not once did he try to upsell me like apartment finders often do. He took my budget and needs seriously. He also has connections with a number of local property managers which was a huge help when he got a heads-up about an apartment that was not yet available.Great experience, this guy knows what hes doing.
Philip was very responsive and efficient. Hes extremely knowledgeable about the Austin area, and was able to locate an apartment that fit my needs on all levels very quickly. I highly recommend contacting Philip for help finding your new home!
When my girlfriend and I decided it was time to escape New York for sunny Austin we had no clue where to begin. Wed never been to Austin, but wed heard amazing things. I reached out to Phillip and he gave me an awesome rundown of the town. I spoke to a few other locators and all left something to be desired. Philip was always on top of getting back to me - This sounds like a simple thing but apparently its not so simple for many of Philips competitors.The real difference with Philip was that he knew exactly the right questions to ask to match us with the perfect properties. He actually listened to what was important to us and I can honestly say that each property was better than the next. There wasnt a single place we toured that wouldnt have been basically the perfect home. Whether youre new to town or looking to move down the street, Philip will be an invaluable asset to aid in your search.
I have used Mr. Hitts service several times and recommend his service to all my friends who are relocating to Austin, who in turn recommend him to their contacts. Mr. Hitt is very responsive, has a great attitude, really listens to what you are looking for and then provides you with options which hit the nail on the head. I look forward to calling him next time I choose to relocate . I wholeheartedly recommend him without any reservations, A++
Philip was an absolute pleasure to work with! He made a stressful out of state move an incredibly smooth and easy process. Thanks so much, Philip!
Phil is great! Highly recommend calling him and utilizing his services to find your new apartment in Austin, TX.
