Owner/Director

Realty San Miguel is owned and operated by Philip Hardcastle. Philip oversees all of the strategic planning of the company, day to day operations, marketing, and personnel. He is exceptional in sales, and works tirelessly at providing outstanding service from beginning to end of each transaction. Philip has a passion for educating his clients about their options, and his expertise in both construction and real estate provides the perfect platform. He can often be heard explaining to his clients "I'm going to tell you what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear."

Thus, Philip is known for his honesty, integrity, and fairness to all parties involved . He also stays up to date on changes in the market, relevant legal issues and local happenings which might affect buyers and sellers in San Miguel.

Philip has a long history in construction and sales. He worked as a design-builder for over 28 years, and owned his own company for most of that time. He has designed and built residential and commercial buildings in Texas, Hawaii, Cambodia and Mexico. Because of his strong and varied business skills, he has also held a position on the advisory board of Jim Rohn International, a multi-million dollar company based in Southlake, Texas, for over 10 years. Something of a jack of all trades, Philip is also a skilled carpenter and builder of fine furniture.

Born and raised in Texas, Philip attended A & M University, where he studied architecture. As a young man he moved to Hawaii, where he ran a successful construction company for ten years. He then returned to Texas, this time to Dallas, where he developed a strong reputation in residential construction. He is currently a full time resident of San Miguel.
