TOOP+TOOP has expanded its presence in the Adelaide Hills with the acquisition of Belle Property Adelaide Hills, including its established office at 50 Mount Barker Road, Stirling.

The move brings together two highly regarded local real estate teams, with long-time Adelaide Hills property identity Phil Crowder joining TOOP+TOOP alongside Elsie Burvill, Angelica Curtis, Karen Van Der Heyden and Property Manager Jolyon Oakey.

They will unite with TOOP+TOOP’s established Adelaide Hills advisors, Anita Hardingham and the Lindsay team, comprising James Lindsay, Bronwyn Lindsay and Sarah Phillips.

Together, the group creates a formidable local team with deep knowledge of the region, longstanding community connections and extensive experience across Adelaide Hills sales and property management.

For TOOP+TOOP, the new office represents an important investment in a region that has been part of the agency’s story for more than four decades. While the business has continued to represent buyers and sellers throughout the Hills, establishing a permanent base in the heart of Stirling will allow the team to provide an even stronger level of local service.

TOOP+TOOP Director, Bronte Manuel, said the acquisition was a natural progression for the business.

“The Adelaide Hills has always been an important part of TOOP+TOOP. Our team has represented some remarkable homes and worked with generations of local families across the region, so having a permanent home in Stirling feels like the right next step,” Bronte said.

“Phil is one of the most respected real estate professionals in the Hills. He has built an exceptional reputation through his experience, local knowledge and genuine care for his clients. We are thrilled to welcome Phil, Elsie, Angelica, Karen and Jolyon to TOOP+TOOP and bring them together with our existing Adelaide Hills team.”

Two Established Names, One Local Team

A long-time Adelaide Hills local, Phil Crowder brings more than 20 years of real estate experience to TOOP+TOOP. During that time, he has become known for his approachable manner, strong negotiation skills and considered understanding of the local property market.

His decision to join forces with TOOP+TOOP brings together Phil’s extensive local relationships and market knowledge with the reach, resources and marketing capability of one of South Australia’s most established independent real estate agencies.

For Phil, the move creates an opportunity to offer his clients the benefits of a broader network while maintaining the personalised service that has defined his career.

“Joining TOOP+TOOP is an exciting new chapter for our team and one that feels like a strong fit,” Phil said.

“We share a commitment to outstanding service, quality marketing and achieving the best possible result for every client. Importantly, we also share a genuine connection to the Adelaide Hills and an understanding of what makes this community and its property market so distinctive.”

“Our clients will continue to work with the same local people they know and trust, now supported by the technology, buyer network and marketing expertise of TOOP+TOOP.”

Bringing Together Trusted Adelaide Hills Advisors

The new Stirling office will bring together a team of trusted professionals who have built their careers and reputations throughout the Adelaide Hills.

Phil will be supported by Elsie Burvill and Angelica Curtis, working alongside TOOP+TOOP’s established Adelaide Hills advisors, Anita Hardingham and the Lindsay team of James Lindsay, Bronwyn Lindsay and Sarah Phillips.

On the property management side, Jolyon Oakey will join forces with TOOP+TOOP Property Manager Bianca Basso, further strengthening the level of local expertise and service available to landlords and tenants throughout the Adelaide Hills.

Rather than building a local team from the ground up, the acquisition unites professionals who already understand the region, its properties and its people. Clients will benefit from greater collaboration, an expanded network of buyers and the combined knowledge of advisors with extensive experience across the Hills market.

From character homes in Stirling, Aldgate and Crafers to family properties, lifestyle holdings and acreage throughout the surrounding townships, the Adelaide Hills market requires a nuanced approach. Each pocket has its own buyer profile, property style and local considerations, making genuine experience within the region particularly valuable.

The expanded team combines that on-the-ground knowledge with the strength of TOOP+TOOP’s wider database and marketing network, including TOOP VAULT, which connects properties with more than 42,000 registered buyers.

Now Open at 50 Mount Barker Road

The new TOOP+TOOP Adelaide Hills office is located at 50 Mount Barker Road, Stirling, placing the team in the heart of one of the region’s most active and connected townships.

The office provides a welcoming local point of contact for homeowners considering their next move, buyers searching throughout the Hills and landlords seeking experienced property management.

For TOOP+TOOP, Phil Crowder and the wider Adelaide Hills team, it marks the beginning of a significant new chapter built on shared values, established relationships and a collective belief in what Adelaide Hills real estate deserves.
