    Troy is the best ever!!! He stayed with me through the whole horrible struggle I had. Was always there to answer any questions and was always there to calm me down when the freak outs happened. Hands down would not recommend anyone else!

    Troy Phillips is more than a mere agent, I consider Troy a trusted Real estate Advisor.

    Troy's consultative, laid back approach lends great credence to his expert opinion in finding the best solution. His ability to negotiate a great deal was not compromised when handling an extremely dilusional Seller/Agent, saving the deal on multiple occassions.

    Through my dealings with Troy I have found him to be accessible, knowledgable of the applicable Laws/Regulations, and a man of great character. All of which were lacking in our previous three Buy/Sell transactions.

    If you need things done, and done right - Call Troy Phillips.

    Troy is a trusted leader in real estate. His professionalism includes marketing a plan of action, with pre-list through to post-sale. Troy is a pleasure to deal with and he is willing to go the extra mile to assist you along the way. Thank you Troy for all your support and knowledge!

    I cannot tell you how much we appreciate Troy Phillips. I am a mortgage broker, so I deal with lots of Realtors. Troy is one of the best. This was a long distance transaction. Troy handled everything while I was 13 hours away. He staged the home, arranged for repairs, and brought us a full price offer. He did all this while still bringing a level of personal service that is not often seen. There’s a reason he’s tops!

    We really enjoyed working with Troy in the process of selling our house. He made the process easy by keeping us informed throughout and returned calls and/or emails quickly. We would highly recommend Troy to anyone we know.

    Troy did a outstanding job as my realitor, he did everything he said he was going to do and went above and beyond my expectations on taking care of my property while i was moved out of the house. I recommend him totally top notch realitor.

    Troy Phillips gave my family and I the best real estate service we could ever ask for. The immediate family has used him for 3 home purchases so far, and going forward he will be the only agent we use. Smart, great network, unprecedented responsiveness and accessibility. The quality I love the most about Troy is he is smooth, not some hack pushing you into a house any house as fast as he can. Almost every other realtor I've dealt with would be just as at home on a used car lot but Troy is the shining exception. He truly wants you to be happy with your decision and get a home that fits YOU. He also treats you like a big wig even if you are buying a relatively small dollar house. Also his wife Kelly is one of the best in the mortgage biz, same demeanor and hustle, so if you get a chance to work with both expect the smoothest, fastest, deals you can ever do buying a house.

    We were very thankful that we were able to have Troy Phillips as our realtor. He had reviewed all information pertaining to our home prior to visiting us and came well prepared to assist us. Many texts, phone calls and e-mails took place during this process. Any time that we needed to contact Troy, he was there and responded quickly. We actually recommended Troy to one of our neighbors. If I were to go through this process again and lived in the same area as before, we would certainly use him again.

    We were very nervous buying our forever home and Troy's calm demeanor put us right at ease. He answered all our questions quickly, provided great suggestions and really made this a wonderful experience. What makes him a step above other agents is his help didn't end when we closed on our home. He has continued to be right here to answer questions and offer assistance as needed. He never made us feel like we were "just another buyer". He went above and beyond to help our family find a home we can grow in and love for many years to come.

    We couldn't have asked for a better person/realtor to guide us and sell our home.Very attentive and knowledgeable. Troy is not only professional but a pleasure to work with.We will be using him as our buyers agent on our new home build.We highly recommend him.
  • user7424875
    I worked with Troy when I bought some rental property. I am still using him as my realtor. He is friendly, funny, easy to work with and very attentive. He contacts me immediately when I call, and constantly keeps me updated about what is on the market.

    Troy is absolutely the best. He helped us purchase our first house eight years ago while we were still stationed in Washington state. He recently helped my daughter and her husband purchase their first house and helped us to sell our house and purchase a new one. He is extremely knowledgable and very quick to reply to all of my questions. He made the process of selling and buying so much easier than we thought it would be. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Charleston area.

    Troy did a lot of work for us while we live in another state. He was very helpful in assisting us with things we could do that would make our home interesting to potential buyers.
  • leechevalier41
    I have bought 4 homes and by far Troy has been the most knowledgeable, friendly, and most helpful realtor I have ever hired. He is a big asset to your company! I will absolutely recommend him to family and friends when buying a home. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would. Thank you. Lisa Sweeney.

    We've used Troy Phillips' expertise multiple times - both as buyer and seller -so that should tell you how much we value his work. I wish every agent were as good as Troy but unfortunately they are not and it costs clients money and wastes their time. He'll determine the best value of your house and market your property to get fast results that are pleasing to all parties. With the last house, there wasn't even time to put up the sign on the property before our place sold. Be ready to pack and move fast!
  • sagetimmons
    I would highly recommend Troy Phillips. He was on top of everything during the whole process of selling our house. Once he listed our house, it sold in 5 hours.
  • zuser20161129193502684
    Thank you Troy for taking what would have been a difficult listing for most realtors and made it look easy! I highly recommend Troy and would never consider using anyone else in the future! Thanks again!!!
  • Ursa M. Stanley
    Troy was wonderful throughout the entire process. We are new home owners and he answered all our questions and if he didn’t know the answer he always called us back with the answer. Troy always kept us informed of any changes or problems that arose. We really enjoyed working with him and if we ever need another agent he will be the one we call.

    I've purchased three Charleston area homes through Troy and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. One was a short sale which you hear horror stories about but Troy helped make the process smooth and worry-free. I wouldn't buy a home using any other realtor!

    Troy was willing to go way above what was required of him as an agent on our last home purchase. I have and will continue to recommend Troy as the agent of choice for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Charleston area.
