We recently sold our Condo in Fashion Valley thanks to Phillip everything the process was so much easier then we could have expected. A lot of the worries we had about selling our home were all addressed and the experience that Phillip had really made us feel comfortable knowing that we would be taken care of throughout the process. His open house got us a solid offer on the first open house that Phillip hosted on our behalf. If you are looking for a honest and genuine agent that knows how to sell your home or help you purchase a new home Phillip is a great agent to choose. He is the most professional agent I have met and has connections in the area that will save you a lot of angst of finding HVAC repair, or Handymen.

Buying and selling property in San Diego is not for the timid or faint of heart! Phillip, as the agent who helped my wife and I through BOTH transactions showed heart, integrity, mindfulness, and grit throughout our journey together! He patiently explained what was happening and what needed to happen. He was very accommodating to our schedules. When any part of the process of listing or responding to offers or the steps needed towards closing escrow stalled or slowed, he was on top of all of it and worked to be certain all parties kept up and on task! In our search for our new home, we met some agents that were less than impressive and showed a lack of professionalism and integrity. Phillip was always solid!

nt. The first time we began the house hunting journey started 3 years ago. We searched for a few months. Phil was always very patient and willing to show us properties and to make time out of his busy schedule and being there even at open houses to help us ask the right questions. He is VERY consistent, on time, patient, and ALWAYs has our best interest at heart making sure to point out the things that he didn’t feel right for us and didn’t try to sell us something that didn’t fit. He is very honest and reliable and we love that he is such a trusting realtor. The first time after searching for a few months, we decided to not buy, this second time around, we began the house hunt journey again, Phil never rushed us and was always patiently giving us lots of options to choose from and REALLy listening to things we wanted and didn’t want. He showed the same consistency, honesty, patience in helping us. He helped us negotiate price and was always keeping our pocketbooks in mind as we discussed the different technical pieces of the house buying process. We trust Phil whole heartedly and would def recommend him again and again to our friends and family. Someday when we upgrade our home, we WILL def have Phil help us. Phil has a lot of expertise and knowledge in the field and was very helpful in sharing things about the process and explaining what different things mean to us too.

I would absolutely recommend Phillip as a realtor to anyone looking for their next home in San Diego. From our first meeting with Phil, it was clear he was organized, qualified, professional, and thorough. As first time home buyers, he was patient and did a great job of explaining the process and what to expect to us. We gave Phillip an idea of what we thought we were looking for and he led us to options within those constructs and opened up our minds to more. He was flexible with the times he showed with us and took great notes while we viewed based on feedback and answered our 100+ questions along the way. After seeing about 25 locations and with no sign of despair and lots of encouragement and understanding on Phil's end, he found our dream home in a location that was off our radar because we didn't think we could afford anything in that location. It was a great fit and he was quick to act when we were ready to close the deal. He represented us well to get a great deal and walked us through the escrow process thoroughly. We felt we could trust him and our best interest was at the forefront. He also went above and beyond to do some final touches on the house that would make our move in easier, safer, and nicer. So, if you're looking for an honest, committed, thorough, and patient realtor that knows San Diego real estate, Phil's your guy! We can't thank him enough.

Philip came to our first meeting with pen and pad taking notes as I expressed my needs and expectations. He had extensive knowledge of my condo building. Through his research he found that I had deeded property that I was not aware of, which added to the value of my condo. That was the beginning of his dedication and his commitment. His efforts to sell my condo continued in a professional, efficient and pleasant manner. Philip was sincere and self-motivated and I would highly recommend his services-you’ll love him!

Phillip helped me sell my condo in Clairemont, San Diego. He is very knowledgeable about property market especially in the San Diego, CA area. He did his research and explained to me the current market at the time of selling my condo. Phillip was always available to answer my questions and to explain anything that I wasn't sure about. He is very responsive, and while presenting me with all the factual data, he's never pushy and allowed me to make my own educated decision. Phillip is very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and attentive. I would hire him to sell/buy property anytime and I would recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you so much, Phillip!

Phillip Saenkov was my Realtor for a 2 bedroom condo that I recently sold. Couldn’t find a more professional person for the job. I live on the east coast and the Condo was in San Diego so there were times where Phillip went the extra mile for me in small issues that came up especially with scheduling and monitoring repairs. With this being my first time selling he was also excellent at answering my questions. If anybody is looking for a Realtor with white glove service, I highly recommend Phillip Saenkov…

My brother and I were looking to buy a single family home in Clairemont as our first rental property. My brother did not reside in the San Diego Area and only met Phillip once during the initial process of picking out a home. Philip was well aware that once he flew into SD we were not going to have a lot of time. He spent half a day driving around to 7 different houses and printed all of the information on these homes for us. He was always well prepared and courteous to our time. I never felt that I was waiting on him; he was always prompt and ready to go. He always kept our best interest in mind and was so helpful in finding a house within our price range. He has a lot of knowledge of the area and within this industry. He had a person or a company recommended for every step of the way: home inspector, plumber, electrician; anyone you need Phillip knows a great person that will get the job done for you. Phillip was with us from start to finish. We found a house together and we closed the deal and even after all this, he is still calling and checking up on us and the house. He is truly invested and cares about the people he works with. I never felt that he was just pushing us to buy, just so that he could make a profit. Even now that we’ve purchased the house, I’m still calling Phillip for anything I need pertaining to the home and he is still as responsive and quick to communicate as he was when we met him. Phillip is a pleasant man to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in California.

Phillip has successfully handled the sale of my condo in UTC. Phillip was great to work with as he has a lot of industry knowledge and kept me informed during the whole selling process. Almost on a daily basis he would let me know the status of buyers seeing the home. I wouldn't ever consider buying or selling a home with anyone else in the greater San Diego county area. Our expectations were always exceeded and our needs always anticipated. Most impressive to us was the level of professionalism, personal touch and excellent communication that we received from the very beginning of our home sale process and all the way until the very end. I would highly recommend Phillip as a Real Estate professional for all your Real Estate needs. Thank you and have a great day.

Where to even begin! Finding Phillip felt like finding a needle in a haystack. Being an OCD planner, I spoke to multiple realtors and no one was remotely as helpful or responsive as Phillip was from the start. I started working with Phillip 4 months before my actual move (from Miami, FL to San Diego). He was so patient with all of my OCD questions, and set me up with easy access to view listings as my apartment search/move date approached. When the time came to view listings, I was flying into San Diego the morning of our appointments. When my flight was 3 hours delayed, not only did Phillip reschedule ALL of our appointments to accommodate but picked me up from the airport so I wouldn't have to worry! Once I chose the listing, Phillip worked diligently to help finalize everything as quickly as possible and made sure that all of my requests were accommodated. All in all, I am beyond thankful to have found Phillip!! He will surely be the name I pass on to any friends/family looking for a new home and will be the only one I call when it comes time to move again. Thank you again Phillip, you are the best!!!

Where to start! I've known Phillip personally for a few years and choosing him as my agent when deciding to sell my Pacific Beach townhouse was a no-brainer. I was blown away by his professionalism, his knowledge, and his ability to make things happen effectively and efficiently. From bringing in the right pros to install carpet and paint, to having the home staged beautifully, to dealing with needs and demands of the buyer - Phil made everything as easy as possible on me. The home looked beautiful and sold for a record setting price within days of being listed. I couldn't have asked for anything more from my agent and am unbelievably happy with how everything worked out. I'd recommend Phillip to anyone looking to buy or sell a property - he's the best in the business.

I rated Phillip's services five stars because he did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Phillip as he is resourceful, honest, responsible, and effectively handles difficult situations. Phillip is a great realtor and very pleasant to work with. I recently purchased a condo in Rancho Bernardo area. Phillip was quite knowledgeable about the area, and did research every property I submitted offers for. With Phillip I felt confident that I was offering the right price, and as I result I am very happy with my new home. Phillip has strong communicational skills; he kept me updated on everything that was happening with my sale. He successfully communicated with the seller's agent, lender, and escrow in an efficient way to ensure that everything went smoothly. He was easy to reach, and would return my calls, texts, and e-mails promptly.

We just cannot say enough about Phil. It takes a special person to handle my families crazy antics. This was our second time working with Phil. We purchased a condo 2 years ago in North Park and had a fabulous experience. When we decided it was time to cut ties with our new place and find a new home, it didn't matter how many recommendation we got from other people, Phil was still our guy. We came back to him and have never been disappointed. Selling a home and buying a new one is always a stressful event, but having Phil as our realtor actually made the process go as smoothly as possible. My husband and I have a crazy schedule and Phil was always available to look at the umpteen million homes we threw at him. He gave actual true feelings on places when we were unsure and that is hard to come by. A lot of people will actually just say anything to please you but he was honest. And we appreciate that. We just closed on the sale of our property and are set to close on our new one in just a few short weeks....all with Phil's attention to time and detail we will be getting in a lot sooner than e would have. It is nice to feel like we have a life long friend vs. just a business arrangement. It'll be sad when we don't get to explore fun and crazy properties with him again. Thank you so much Phil you have been an absolute blessing to our family.
Description of Work: In 2015 we purchased our first home together with Phil. This year we wanted to sell and upgrade into a larger home. We sold our condo with Phil's assistance and purchased a new home with him as well.

Phillip is everything he promised to be when we first met him as we searched for a realtor. He was in constant communication with us, responding to emails and phone calls very quickly - always the same day. He gave us lots of relevant information as we began our search for a rental property and was available to visit Open Houses with us based on our schedules. He is very knowledgable about the San Diego real estate market and worked hard to be sure we were getting what we wanted. He easily switched gears when we decided to look for a condo instead of a house, again giving us several choices and helping us to make a smart decision by providing a thorough analysis of the pros and cons of purchasing different properties. He was also very helpful as we went through the escrow process, helping us to make sense of everything we were expected to do. We would definitely use Phillip as our realtor in the future, and would recommend him to family and friends.

Philip went above and beyond our expectations. We've worked with many realtors before and Philip is the best by far. After searching for almost two years of buying a new home, Philip was the one to make it happen. Our only regret was not starting with my him from them beginning. He was very patient with us and clearly understood what we wanted. He was able to find exactly what we were looking for in a short period of time. He is very experienced realtor who knows how to make an offer and close the deal. I would recommend him to our family, friends and to the readers of my review 100% . He deserves 5 stars cross the board. He is very detail oriented and very organized when it comes to handling documents. He ALWAYS replied promptly to emails, phone calls, and texts within minutes, and always kept us informed. We are very pleased and lucky to have found Philip. After the purchase of our home, he still followed up with us to make sure we had all the information we need.

Phillip is by far the best real-estate agent I have worked with. He is very professional and kind, making him easy to work with. He was always quick to respond and was able to help with any issues we had when completing the process of purchasing our new home. He was always active in all the property showings that we requested as well as with any paperwork we needed to fill out. Phillip was always able to work around my schedule which made things so much easier on my part. I never had a single issue with him, therefore I highly recommend him to anyone searching for the perfect agent.
