I have been in touch with Phil and South Gulf Cove Reality for several years. I was holding the property for retirement and Phil helped me keep track of value and real estate activity. When I decided to sell Phil helped me determine a good listing price and monitored for interest. When a potential buyer showed interest Phil was very responsive as we worked through the bid and counter process. Phil is knowledgeable, efficient, and extremely helpful. I would be glad to use him again.

Very kind man very informative and knowledgeable

Phil advised us in all the stages of the purchase. Referred us to various experts whether for the inspection, the electricity company, the water and sewer service company. Always available by email and telephone. Very professional, courteous and knowledgeable about the market. Very patient with us for the barrier of the language because we are French speaking. Even going to collect the keys during the finalization of the transaction. In short a service beyond his mandate. We highly recommend Phil to you without any hesitation.

I highly recommend Phil for your real estate agent. We had a really simple vacant land deal. It wasn't simple at all. It was an inherited property with five siblings on the title. Phil handled all the communications with all involved seamlessly. He would stay up till midnight to ensure all was done properly for the sale. It wasn't easy but he got it done with no issues. Go with Phil and south gulf cove reality. I highly recommend them.

I have worked with Phil Van Der Heyden on and off for over 5 years. He has kept me abreast of the property value and activity in the Port Charlot area. He listed and sold my lot when I decided to sell it. He is knowledgeable, communicative, efficient and pleasant to work with.

If you ask us how many steps did it take from lot search to the closing on the house, we may stay all day long on counting those steps. Bur if you ask us what was one common thing throughout those steps, we will say, the presence and help of Mr. Phil Van Der Heyden.

I am a New Jersey resident and attorney. I had a property in the Port Charlotte area and hired Phil for the transaction. Phil did the research, knew the market and advised me on everything from the listing price, negotiated price and the details of the transaction. As an attorney, I work on real estate transactions with many brokers in New Jersey. Phil's work, however, stands out. His level of detailed communication and responsiveness are unparalleled. I would recommend him without reservation.

Phil is very knowledgeable of the market and was very responsive to our information needs. Great experience.

Phil kept me updated on the current market of properties in the area of which we had a plot. He continued to renew the "for sale" until a buyer was ready to purchase. The closing was smooth and with his advice we were able to close the sale without any problems. He kept me informed and advised me of my options of which I am very grateful. Thank you Phil!

Phil is very clear, thorough, goes out of his way to be helpful and easy to work with. I feel he is very honest in the information he gives and listens to his client. He makes the process easy for his clients.

I HAVE BEEN A CLIENT OF PHIL'S AND HE IS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. VERY EASY GOING AND PROFESSIONAL.

Phil Van Der Heyden was the perfect realtor to sell my property. He understood my limitations, since I live so far from the property, in another state. He kept in contact regularly, assisted with upkeep of the property, informed me of values of properties nearby, and demonstrated excellent decision-making skills while advising me of options available to me. He is a professional and an advocate for his clients.
