Phil Jones is the managing partner for Coldwell Banker Coastal Alliance and is a director and Immediate Past President of the Pacific West Association of Realtors. He currently serves as a director for the California and National Associations of Realtors and is also a member of NAR’s President’s Circle.
After serving as a military police officer in the Vietnam War, Phil Jones went home to Sacramento, where he declined the recruitment overtures of the local police force in lieu of a career in real estate, an industry his father was in and encouraged him to pursue. He received his real estate license in 1968, his broker’s license in 1970, and eventually became the owner of a Sacramento residential real estate firm. He moved to Long Beach in 1989 and, after leading various firms, in 2000 he co-founded what has now become, by his estimation, one of the top two residential real estate firms in Long Beach.
