Sales
Realty San Miguel was founded by Philip Hardcastle in February 2007. For many years, Philip oversaw all aspects of the company — strategic planning, day-to-day operations, marketing, and personnel — while also representing both buyers and sellers. He worked tirelessly to deliver outstanding service at every stage of each transaction and played a central role in establishing the culture that defines Realty San Miguel today.
In 2018, he invited three of his longtime agents to become partners, bringing additional depth, experience, and perspective to the company. This allowed Philip to shift his focus toward the website and marketing efforts. Today, Realty San Miguel has six partner/brokers, with several taking on leadership roles in managing daily operations.
Philip authors the company's monthly Real Estate Market Update, covering shifts in the market, relevant legal developments, and global geopolitical events that may impact buyers and sellers in San Miguel.
His professional background runs deep. Philip spent over 28 years as a design-builder, owning his own company for most of that time, and has designed and built residential and commercial properties in Texas, Hawaii, Cambodia, and Mexico.
Born and raised in Texas, Philip attended Texas A&M University, where he studied architecture. A true jack-of-all-trades, he is also a skilled carpenter and craftsman of fine furniture. He has been a full-time resident of San Miguel since 2004.
Philip transformed my experience from one of acute reluctance to one of confidence. Quick to point out pro's and con's.
I was shocked how fast Phil sold my house. He always called before he came and got close to what I wanted and more than I expected. It was a pleasure working with him and if I ever sell my new house (not a chance) I'd call Phil.
"Philip, we felt confident you would represent our interests fairly. Never pressured while showing us properties."
We used Lilia Aguilar and Philip Hardcastle to sell our home in SMA. It's was difficult to manage the sale of our home being in the US. Both Philip and Lilia took us through the steps necessary to maximize our return. They also were able to offer kind support when our anxiety level peaked frequently. The support staff at Realty San Miguel is also excellent and very professional in the way they managed the sale.
"Philip your proactive guidance through the buying process will always be remembered. I have no reservations about you."
I found that working with Phil was a pleasure....totally objective, helpful, and with a great attention to detail...no loose ends....I highly recommend him!

We had a very good experience with Philip. He's extremely helpful, and clearly understands the needs of both parties.
Philip always present. He genuinely cared for my welfare. I had no doubts following him through with the process.
Philip was patient, informative, and genuinely interested in us. Our friends have since also purchased with his guidance.
We loved working with Jessica. She knew half the people in town and even the most obscure streets, plus she seemed tireless in showing both RSM listings as well as all of the others we asked for. She worked very well with the other realtors who accompanied us to their listings. Her English is flawless, and I also appreciated speaking Spanish with her and her coaching. We enjoyed Gloria, who seemed to be the most plugged in woman in town. We loved being able to also work with Philip. His knowledge of the business, buildings and structures, laws and key people were invaluable to us in processing our transaction. The recommendation we received from friends for him was absolutely correct. If it weren’t for Philip, Jessica, Gloria, Lucero and RSM, we would not be homeowners in SMA today. We are just delighted with the ease of the process, not to mention with our new home.
Phil is knowledgeable of construction costs, properties and real estate law, helping to make an informed decision.
Without Philip we would still be trying to sell our property! His organizational and diplomatic skills saw us through!
Philip handled numerous issues and vast amounts of information. One of the most capable and finest real estate professionals
Philip's expertise is reassuring. It's obvious when you meet Philip that he is a valuable resource to have.
Dealing with Realty San Miguel and more so with Philip Hardcastle was simple and efficient. His quiet and understated approach to buying and selling property is a great comfort during the process. I especially appreciated his punctuality and his willingness to help in all the aspects of the sale. Thank you again.
Philip did a great job protecting our interests. He's smart, efficient, and resourceful.
Philip's expertise, patience, and diligence makes him a valuable colleague you can trust.
Philip is held in warm regard by everyone who has worked with him. I have sought and followed his advice in many matters.
Philip is honest and hardworking. We showed him our condo, he thought he had a buyer in mind. 3 days later - under contract.
Since the onset we had excellent service. Philip -who understands construction- contributed his vast knowledge and professionalism when evaluating the quality of the construction and its market value. In as much as the actual sale, Jessica found the right client for our house and the right house for her client. She was very thorough with processing the sale and following up with all the sales details for both buyer and seller. She is incredibly efficient and patient. All in all, you are a very service oriented group. Thank you for all your valuable assistance
I’ve bought my first home in SMA with the help of Philip. Straight talk, responsive and honest.
