Matt Phipps and his entire team were extraordinary in recently selling our home. I reached out to Matt because he did such an amazing job with the purchase of our home years earlier, and I remembered how smoothly of a process that was, especially as a military service member that was stationed across the country in WA state needing to buy a house sight unseen on a very quick timeline. He completely knocked that out of the park, and so it was an easy choice to enlist him to sell our home when the time came for us to move again due to my continued military obligations. I contacted Matt on a Wednesday, we initially spoke at length on the phone about my needs, and we scheduled to meet in person later that weekend (Saturday). My plan was to list our home for sale in about a month or two in order to align with our military move timeline. Due to market conditions, he recommended listing the property ASAP. As I said, we met on a Sat for his team's initial walk through, on Tuesday our home was beautifully photographed, and by Friday it was fully advertised and listed for sale. Based on Matt's strategy for a lightning fast listing, well over 30 families toured our home on the first weekend, and by Monday's deadline for offers that he recommended, we had numerous offers, the vast majority well over list price and with incredibly favorable terms. Because of our complicated timeline and upcoming cross country military move, we needed a quick close and rent back, both of which Matt and his team expertly delivered. He masterfully handled all of the negotiations and succinctly summarized everything to me with consistently clear communication, all with minimal to no disruption to me during my extremely busy hospital work days as a physician, and ultimately nailed the timeline and terms. He succeeded in getting us our ideal offer that was well over list price, with an extremely generous rent back, practically waived inspection (no single item less than 5k), all in lightning fast timing. From the time we initially spoke to being under contract was under 10 days, which blew away even my wildest expectations. Matt Phipps and his entire team are courteous, very considerate of his client's needs, extremely competent and professional. The stressful process of (both initially buying) and now recently selling were made so much easier, to an almost unbelievable extent, primarily due to Matt's incredible knowledge of the market, unmatched skill as a strategist / negotiator, and outright excellence in managing every aspect of the home sale process. I cannot recommend Matt and his entire team highly enough. He got us the deal we needed in record time with minimal disruption to our very busy life (with three kids under 5 and a lot going on in a chaotic household). Bottom line, Matt is an absolute master at his craft, and also a gentleman who honors his word and is incredibly honest and trustworthy. Matt's team hit a grand slam for us at their first at bat. They completely blew us away and totally exceeded our wildest expectations. read more

A few words come to mind when I look back at our experience with Phipps Realty. Integrity, Confidence, and Encouragement and Support. We had the joy of working with two agents, Connor and Ginny. Right away, my family knew we had made the right choice. Connor was the perfect mix of friendly and straightforward. Ginny brought a level of support and communication almost unheard of these days. We always knew what was going on without having to chase our agents for information. Both were in constant communication to let us know where the market was going and what we could expect. Ginny would even share uplifting quotes or stories from their team meetings just to ensure our spirits stayed high! Once we prepped the house and completed the paperwork, our home went on the market. The work Ginny and Connor put in was an instant success. Our open house brought in many families and within a few days, it sold! I credit this to their knowledge of the market, the amazing photos and write up of our home and the extraordinary effort by the entire team at Phipps Realty. Incredibly, thanks to Ginny, we also came to an agreement on the property of our dreams that same week! Looking back at our experience it was a miracle the way everything came together. None of this would have been possible without the team at Phipps Realty, especially Connor and Ginny. Selling and buying a home can be a stressful experience. Having the right people supporting you makes all the difference in how this experience unfolds. We would not change anything! My family will be forever grateful to both Ginny and Connor. We give them the highest recommendation possible. If you are looking to sell or buy, go with Phipps Realty, you will not be disappointed! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Phipps Team! Buying a home is a major undertaking, but buying one from out of state could have been overwhelming--if not for their incredible support, professionalism, and expertise. From our very first conversation, they took the time to truly understand my needs and priorities. They guided me through every step of the process with clear communication and made me feel confident, even from hundreds of miles away. Whether it was video tours, market insights, or prompt responses to all of my questions, they went above and beyond to make me feel connected and informed throughout the entire home-buying journey. When it came time to make an offer, The Phipps Team's expertise and strategy helped us win in a competitive multiple-offer situation. I couldn't be happier with the outcome--not only did we secure the home, but it's in a truly wonderful neighborhood with great amenities and a welcoming community. Once I closed on the home, the team continued to impress me by helping me rent it out. Their knowledge of the local rental market, along with their network of resources, made finding reliable tenants a smooth and stress-free process. They handled everything with the same care and attention to detail that they showed during the purchase. The Phipps Team truly sets the gold standard for real estate services. Their dedication, knowledge, and personal touch made buying and renting a home from afar not only possible but an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional real estate professionals--you will not be disappointed! read more

We can't give high enough praise/recommendation for Phipps Realty! Over the years we have bought and sold many homes and the one constant in the Rhode Island Real Estate market is Ron Phipps. He is the consummate professional always providing expert advise whether you are selling or buying. You simply can't do better than having Phipps Realty as your agent/partner. We just closed on a home that was for sale by owner. We turned to Ron's expertise to ensure he evaluated the home value to confirm we were getting a good deal. Ron went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Ron created the sales agreement, took care of contacting, scheduling, and meeting all home, paint, fire inspectors. During the fire inspection, I was out of town, Ron had some extra detectors in his car and when the inspector asked Ron solved the problem on the spot, so a second inspection was not required. He thinks ahead cover all contingencies and is ready to ensure your success. You simply can't find a better more honest representative for any Real Estate transaction. read more

I've played a role in over $100M in real estate transactions first as a broker, then as investor, acquisition lead, underwriter or a regular buyer and seller. I have met thousands of Realtors yet there are a dozen or so Id actually use. Phipps is one of those teams that just executed flawlessly on every level. They Set expectations, create fantastic Marketing, cultivate important relationships in the Realtor community (lending very important credibility to all their clients) and perhaps most importantly they don't have too much of an ego to say "you're right" nor are they too timid to say "you're wrong." saying anything to get a listing doesn't sell houses, and they know that. Absolutely first class experience with multiple representations from the team. They will continue to be a lead for our investment and home building teams. read more

Hands down the most seamless real estate transition to date. Joseph Brennan delivered the sale of our home, above asking price, within weeks. We were somewhat timid to sell and buy simultaneously but with Joe and Phipps Realty, we were comforted and confidently motivated to enter the market. Joseph diligently supported our every concern and question. Whether 6 am or eleven pm, he was there to communicate with us and provide exceptional knowledge of what the market was doing and what was to be expected. We were lucky to have him and are certainly recommending him to anyone buying or selling. Phipps realty treated us like family with genuine care and provided us with unparalleled marketing. Five stars! The Anonuevo's read more

We worked with Ron to find our home. He made our home buying experience a positive one. He was professional, friendly, very knowledgable of the market and the area, but more importantly he was intentional about building a relationship with us to get the best idea of finding a home that would be a great fit for us and that we would love. We always trusted his feedback on properties we were interested in. Then, after showing us houses, all the offers, negotiations, inspections, closing details etc. had to be done from 2000 miles away! We appreciated Ron being so accessible, taking our many, many questions, calls and emails as if it were a pleasure, and I'm sure it was not! Of course we highly recommend Phipps Realty! read more

Ron Phipps, his son Matt and his entire team are absolutely the best! He recommended a pricing strategy which resulted in our getting the best possible price. When the appraisal came in a little low, Ron was able to provide additional data which made the deal possible. When we had multiple closing delays due to the buyer's financing issues, Ron stayed right on top and helped make it happen. And when I was unexpectedly hospitalized, I rested confidant that Ron was going to watch out for our interests. Ron Phipps is completely professional, highly experienced and most of all a true gentleman. This wonderful family business has my highest recommendation. read more

We hired Phipps Realty because of the personal connection that we have with Matt and Joe but of course, we knew they would be great; they wouldn't be so successful if they weren't. What we didn't know was just how dedicated this entire team is. Their work ethics, knowledge and professionalism is astonishing. We can honestly say that the successfulness of our transaction was a direct result of their planning and guidance. As business owners, my husband and I have a tremendous amount of respect for this team's diligence in all that they do. We had such a wonderful time working with Joe and can't say enough great things about Phipps Realty! read more

Ron and his team jumped into action when I had a RI Seller who wanted to purchase a property that I had listed in CT. I'm a licensed broker in CT, not RI. I looked at the Seller's marketing efforts using an "entry only" listing service for his RI home sale, and I quickly saw many areas that the marketing was lacking. I made the referral to Ron, and the Seller was over the moon happy with how professional Ron and his team were. Don't think twice about giving Ron and his team a chance to earn your business. You'll be glad you did! read more

Ron Phipps has handled all our retail needs in RI for over two decades. He has been more of a trusted adviser to us. Very knowledgeable and always responsive and helpful whether doing a transaction or not. We introduced Ron to folks relocating at our company and they all spoke highly of his work. You get one-one interaction with the owner of the leading boutique, family owned firm in East Greenwich. I highly recommend Ron Phipps to anyone looking to buy, sell, rent, or even with assistance in managing their property. read more

My father, who was in the real estate business for many years, told my mother soon after they built their last house, that if he could not handle the sale for any reason, she should use Ron. As my dad passed several years ago, my mother took my father's advice and did so. Ron was terrific to work with, kept us constantly informed of the process, and gave us excellent advice when issues arose. I would recommend Ron without hesitation, and have in fact done so since. You will not be disappointed. Paul B. read more

The team at Phipps Realty was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. As a military family who is not from Rhode Island, we needed someone who knew the local real estate landscape cold, and Ron was precisely that person. He offered solid counsel while respecting our needs, a professional to the core. Because of his help we closed a successful sale at a competitive price point with minimal hassle. I'd work with Ron and his team again tomorrow if we were to move back to RI. read more

This is a class organization. Phipps Realty sold our house within three weeks of its being listed. And that was with the provision that we only wanted to have one day per week with an open house showing, and tha there was a four-hour window within which to host that showing. They got us the price we wanted - which was a surprise, since we set the price high - and they took care of all the negotiations, inspections, etc. without causing us ANY stress. read more

When I had decided to search for a new home, I contacted Phipps Realty to help me with the process....and I'm so glad I did. Ron took the time to pick out several homes that had my criteria and went with me on a tour of each of them. When I finally found "the one", the process from negotiation to close was professional, caring and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Phipps Realty to my friends & family for their real estate needs. read more

What can one say that isn't over the top? We've worked with Ron and his team several times and each time we witness a combination of professionalism, insight, exacting guidance, friendship, and honesty. Fact is, we always compare Ron to other realtors and they all come up short. Wish we had him for our last purchase transaction. Above all, they are all really good people. We will miss not being physically close to them. read more

It's a family owned business founded by Joyce Phipps in 1976 and was passed on to her son Ron who not only operates the business but was the president of NAR in 2011. Ron's knowledge along with his experience in real estate makes him the perfect choice when it comes to buying or selling real estate. When it comes to servicing your needs in real estate Phipps family is the only name you need to know. read more

Matt and Tamara were the absolute dream team! Their knowledge of the RI real estate market was superb and they were instrumental in working with us to both buy and sell. We had some specific circumstances (timing of both buying and selling and requiring a specific floor plan) and I don't think we would have ended up in our current home without their help and we couldn't be more grateful! read more

As a fellow Realtor, it was truly my pleasure to work with Ron Phipps on a deal recently. He was knowledgeable, professional and kind. I look forward to working with him again. I've also had the pleasure of working with Sue and their son in their capacity as appraisers . By far the most precise and accurate appraisals in my 20 years of doing this job. Phipps is top notch for sure! read more
