We recently sold our co-op in East Harlem and it was our pleasure to work with realtor Brian Phillips of Douglas Elliman. Brian is a hardworking, diligent and knowledgeable agent. From our first meeting he was eager to get our apartment on the market. Brian researched the area, created a comparative analysis, drew up a comprehensive marketing plan and provided us with a Seller’s Guide to NYC. Brian was always available and promptly returned texts, emails and phone calls. He was skillful at navigating co-op regulations and making sure that both the buyer and seller were kept informed and kept the process moving forward. We highly recommend Brian if you are selling in NYC and particularly in the Harlem area. Thank you Brian!!

Brian did an amazing job. He listed my parents home and within a month they were in contract at full asking price. He was very professional and responsive, I would definitely recommend Brian!

I have known Brian Phillips since 2009 when I met him at a networking group I had organized and we socialized and networked many times. This is why he came to mind when my husband and I were in need of a real estate agent to assist us in looking for a new apartment, as we were planning ahead for a change in household size (due to very stressful, family circumstances in 2023). Brian was immediately able to provide the essential information we needed to prepare for the search and he then guided us through, taking us to see multiple units over an extended period. Eventually we found the right place and Brian shepherded us through a complicated (but ultimately wonderfully perfect for our needs) co-op purchase. The next step was preparing our prior apartment to rent out. Brian provided invaluable information and guidance, and ultimately his expert services matched us up to excellent renters (tenants) in early 2024. I am glad to I met Brian way back when and that we stayed in touch. I always refer to him as our real estate agent / friend, because though we haven’t really socialized much and our relationship is mainly professional, Brian is just a nice, kind, decent guy and also an extremely capable, competent expert in assisting with navigating the complicated and exciting NY real estate market. My husband and I are very satisfied and would recommend Brian’s services to anyone without hesitation.

Brian is excellent. I’ve worked with him on multiple transactions now and he consistently exceeds any expectations. Apart from being extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and trends, Brian is a tenacious and tireless advocate and agent for his clients. Added to that, he is organized, super responsive, honest, careful and great at dealing with other agents and potentials. Brian encompasses all the attributes one would want and expect in a Realtor or broker and, most importantly, he gets terrific results.

April 25, 2025 Brian was a pleasure to work with. I just bought a coop with Brian and he was helpful from the beginning all the way to the closing. Very professional and always kept me up to date anytime I had questions.
