About Brian

Brian Phillips is the only person I turn to on any real estate transaction. I have worked with Brian on several projects including several sales of property and the leasing of multiple dwellings. In each sale, Brian presented me with highly qualified buyers. In each and every rental, the tenants were well screened and were in place for long terms with no incidents. Brian is the ultimate professional. He is discreet, always well informed and punctual for all appointments, and always prepared to take care of business. I would recommend him highly - Shannon Ayers Holden.

We met Brian through the local community board and were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism from that very first meeting. This is the second time that we hired him to lease our condo unit and have enjoyed working with him tremendously both times. He is very responsive to questions and handled viewings personally. Brian is a very hard worker who used his intelligence, patience and diligence to match our unit with appropriate renters. In an extremely challenging time for both owners and renters, Brian was an invaluable bridge that allowed both sides to be satisfied with the outcome. We recommend him highly and would happily work with him again - Michelle Morazan

Brian Phillips is the 2025 New York State President of the Residential Real Estate Council (RRC) and a highly respected real estate professional with nearly 30 years of experience as a licensed broker. He was named the 2024 Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) Agent of the Year, an honor recognizing exceptional professionalism, leadership, and community impact. With 18 years at Douglas Elliman, a renowned luxury brand, Brian delivers exceptional service backed by extensive expertise, market knowledge, and a proven track record. Licensed in two Manhattan offices as well as the Riverdale Bronx office, he offers broad coverage across New York City’s most competitive markets.

His RLS membership offers deep insights into Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn, which are dominated by RLS, while OneKey MLS—the largest and most powerful MLS in New York—expands his reach to Long Island, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Hudson Valley, including Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster counties.

Brian’s success is built not only on data but also on relationships—because real estate is a relationship-driven business.
