ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Nick and his team for navigating the complex LA market. We have worked with him for over a decade to sell our first house and buy/sell our second. Nick and his team provide spot-on market insights and really sound advice on how to navigate the market. Each time, we were able to sell our house at top market value and navigate tricky multiple offer situations. They are so well organized, proactive in all steps to get to close, and handle issues with speed and care. Nick is truly committed to his clients as exemplified by his availability, network, and knowledge of the Los Angeles real estate market. We wouldn't consider working with anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIEDNick and his team are fantastic! They sold our home in North Redondo Beach and made the whole process effortless. They handled everythingaEUR"repairs, paint, flooring, even the finishing touches to make the house shine. What I thought would be stressful turned out to be smooth and simple because of their expertise. Nick knows the South Bay market inside and out, and his teams professionalism and attention to detail gave us complete confidence.

ZillowVERIFIEDLucy Salem at Nick Phillips helped us in so many ways! First, when we were considering buying, she put together a tour for us to show some houses in different neighborhoods as we were considering moving to an area we were only vaguely familiar with. We ended up staying put, but Lucy stayed in touch and when we ultimately decided to move even further but would be renting, Lucy was absolutely terrific in setting us up with some viewings, guiding through the process, and really being such a knowledgeable partner. We relied on both her expertise and her communication as we went through the process to find our new rental house very quickly. Would recommend her to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDI would absolutely work with Lucy Salem and Nick Phillips Properties again in a heartbeat. We had an exceptional homebuying experience with Lucy by our side. As first-time homebuyers, the emotional roller coaster can be daunting and overwhelming. Lucy did a fantastic job managing our expectations and took the time to explain the processes, educate us on the market, and guide us on the best approach given our price point. We had very specific requirements for our home, and at the time, nothing on the market met them. However, Lucy's creativity and determination led us to what ultimately became our perfect home. I appreciated her relentless efforts, which included finding an off-market property that checked all our boxes. Lucy enabled our family to enjoy the positive and fun aspects of purchasing a home while handling the challenging parts on our behalf. Lucy, you are a gem in the real estate world, and we are immensely grateful for all your hard work!

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was great to work with Nick and the team. I was a first time home buyer and he made the process incredibly smooth. Even when there were some roadbumps they were quick to help solve. Nick also found our eventual house off-market and it was perfect. Thanks Nick & Co.

ZillowVERIFIEDTop White Glove Service! I had the absolute pleasure of partnering with Lucy Salem from Nick Phillips Properties Group, and the experience was beyond exceptional. Lucy is a consummate professional with in-depth knowledge across a variety of buzzing neighborhoods/cities in LA. What truly impressed me was her superb communication, commitment to my needs, and most importantly, always there to fight by my side - regardless of the hiccups that may occur during house hunting. One (of many) specific examples of her tireless support related to a key point in the escrow process when a few "fun" things popped up (out of our control). Not only did Lucy take the time to ensure everything was resolved (which I didn't think was possible), but she did so with grace and speed - including 1 a.m. conversations and driving all across LA. I'd be remiss not to mention this support continued weeks beyond my move-in - a trait rarely seen. Lucy shatters the perceptions of what a top agent can be and by the end of it, saw her as a business partner, friend, and at times, therapist dealing with all the stress real estate sometimes entails. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Lucy to anyone seeking a real estate agent who combines expertise, professionalism, and a sincere commitment to clients' best interests. Beyond helping me secure this home, the amount of professional coaching she provided has truly set me up for success when this process occurs again. From education to opening her professional network, I truly have benefited tremendously from her expertise. Thanks to Lucy, I found my dream home in record time - words can't express my gratitude for this top-of-the-line, white-glove experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe wanted to thank Lucy Salem and everyone at Nick Phillips Properties Group for their amazing help with selling our condo and also with buying a new place. Buying and selling is a very stressful and confusing process, even if you've done it before. Lucy was just fantastic to work with and answered all of our ridiculous questions and requests, at all hours of the day, guiding us through the process the entire time. Along with FANTASTIC listing photos and a solid listing strategy for selling our condo, we were able to receive a bunch of strong offers and we are thankful for that. For buying our new place, we had to jump on it quickly and Lucy helped us keep focus on everything important and not sweat the little things. Bottom line, Lucy Salem, Nick Phillips and his entire staff are easy to work with and HIGHLY recommended if you are looking to buy or sell.

ZillowVERIFIEDNick and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. As first time homebuyers, my wife and I had tons of questions and unknowns, but they were there to walk us through the entire process and make it as seamless and stress free as possible. Because of them, we now have a home that we can build a future in together, and we cant thank them enough for that. They made us feel like family, and we will definitely be clients for life. We seriously cannot recommend them enough to anyone in the area looking for a realtor, at all price ranges.

ZillowVERIFIEDLucy and Nick were incredible to work with! They really went above and beyond to help us find our home in a very turbulent and chaotic market, then once we found it they guided us through every step of the buying process. They made us feel comfortable and remained engaged the whole time. If youre buying or selling a home in the South Bay, look no further!

ZillowVERIFIEDNick and Kathy from Nick Phillips Property Group - Compass Realty made our dreams come true. My husband and I are near retirement age and downsized to a three-story condo a few years ago. The stairs of the condo were taking a toll on our hips and knees. After searching for a single-story house for over a year, we finally found aEURoethe perfect homeaEUR? in a fantastic South Bay neighborhood. Not only are Nick and Kathy kind and honest, but they are also truly knowledgeable of todays real estate market. They guided us in buying that dream home. Kathy also helped us sell the condo quickly after holding an open house over one weekend. It all happened so swiftly and efficiently.

ZillowVERIFIEDNick Phillips has been a family friend for over ten years and we have just completed our 5 transaction with him. His attention to detail and willingness to offer advice and opinions always display two qualities that bear success; compassion as well as an intense comprehension of the current market and where it is headed. The team at Nick Phillips Properties Group is equally as knowledgable and is totally committed to making the experience simple and enjoyable. Were eagerly awaiting to go on our next real estate adventure with Nick and the team!

ZillowVERIFIEDNick and his team were great! As a first time homebuyer, it was awesome to have someone knowledgeable about the area and walk me through everything. Nick really understood what I was looking for in a home and was great about guiding me when looking at properties. He's super diligent, available throughout the whole process, and easy going. If I had any concerns, he always either had an answer or someone in his network to help. Once I entered escrow, his entire team was just as fantastic. Cat was awesome in getting the little details covered and scheduling. I can't be more thankful for working with this group. They made the whole process as seamless/low stress as possible.

ZillowVERIFIEDNick and his team are wonderful! Nice, professional, knowledgeable about the essentials - such as the housing market, South Bay area, selling process, etc. - that helped our family have a great experience selling our house. Our process began by the simple question, 'do you know anyone interested' as we were not in a hurry and figuring out our overall plan of attack. Nick and his team did a great job of setting expectations, following those steps thru action and advocating us throughout the process. We greatly appreciated their response rate to our questions and giving us updates on the whole process. Thank you Nick and team for the great experience helping sell our home in Redondo Beach!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe just bought our first home in the south bay and could not have done it without Nick and his team. Nick was a referral so knew we were on the right track when looking for a realtor. We truly had an easy time looking for and purchasing our first home. Nick spent the time getting us educated as first time homebuyers and also managing our expectations in this market which can be daunting. His entire team was quick to respond and get us all the information we needed for every step. Can not recommend enough and will use him again in the future if we move again!

Review for Member: Nick Phillips
ZillowVERIFIEDI am writing this review for Nick Philips and Cat regarding their work to sell our house in southern California in record time for more money than we thought it would bring. Our working relationship started 10 years ago when he cold-called us about selling. Once a year he touched base with us until we said, aEURoeYes we would like to sell, but we now live 220 miles away.aEUR? He said it was no problem and proceeded to oversee all repairs, contractors, house prep and staging. Lastly he held open house and got 4 offers in 3 days, $150K over our estimate of value. All transactions occurred over the phone and internet with only a few escrow papers having to be mailed. I believe much of his success resulted from modern processes starting with known contractors and realtor contacts, early advertising and preparation via his Compass operation and extremely effective staging to bring in excited buyers ready to offer.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhat a great experience with Nick and Cat. We were lucky enough to have multiple bidders. Nick did a great job of getting the offers upped and in the end we accepted a great offer. Cat kept the paperwork side of things running smoothly. Always quick and responsive. Their sub-contractors - photograph and Escrow also were quick and responsive.We be happy to use them again in any future real estate transaction!

Review for Member: Nick Phillips
ZillowVERIFIEDNick and his team sold our home after just one weekend for $50,000 more than we expected. I initially considered going with a discount broker to sell my home, but that would have been a short-sighted and costly decision. I would have saved a few thousand dollars in commissions but it would have cost me tens of thousands of dollars on the sale of my home. (1) Unparalleled local knowledge: As someone buying and selling in the same neighborhood, I thought I knew the area pretty well but Nick blew me away. Nick knew most of the comparable sales for a home off the top of his head oftentimes because he himself was involved in those recent sales. (2) A phenomenal team: Cat was indispensable in keeping the sale process running smoothly. Nick also works with a great photographer and staging company who help maximize the exposure and potential of your home. (3) Responsiveness: I'm convinced he is a robot. There is not a time of day (or night) that he will not immediately respond with a detailed and comprehensive answer. Selling this house was the biggest transaction of our lives and we were blessed to have Nick and his team walk us through the process flawlessly.

ZillowVERIFIEDNick and his team killed it.We didn't know we were ready to a buy a place until we walked into an open house and fell in love. Nick rushed into action. He worked incredibly quickly to get us our house in a weekend.Then, once the deal was made, he and his team helped us every step along the way -- from suggesting contractors and offering helpful reno tips (thanks Cat!) to detailed advice on how to deal with the seller.It was a great experience and we'd absolutely use this team again.

ZillowVERIFIEDNick is fabulous. From the initial emails after an inquiry about a property, the subtle ways he kept in contact during the months leading up to the time I was ready to purchase, and our initial meeting Nick was great. After we met he showed me only 2 properties, both of which I completely loved! Nick knew exactly what I was looking for. I had some very complicated financing with my income source and Nick did not quit until he found a lender that could make it work. I never thought I would be purchasing the home that I am closing on in 2 days. It wouldn't have happened without his expertise and attention!!

He knows the market well and is clear in his recommendations when it came to negotiation. Nick is responsive and his constant follow up is comforting and reassuring. He's a professional and well respected in his world. It was a pleasure having him as my agent, especially in a market as competitive as California. I have recommended him to friends currently looking for a new home.

ZillowVERIFIEDNick is wonderful! He helped us buy our first home. We met Nick after being in the market for almost nine months trying with no luck to find and buy our first home. With all the cash buyers and investors out here, we were feeling hopeless at this point. The first and only property we saw with Nick was exactly what we were looking for. He helped us put an offer and the offer was accepted. Nick helped us in every way possible to make the process easy for us. He is a great negotiator and problem-solver. Hes also very patient, knowledgeable, and always on top of things. He is simply the best!

First - we were conducting the search remotely from Dallas which was challenging. Second - we secured a renovation mortgage which extended the closing timeframe and caused all kinds of date changes and delicate discussions with the sellers. Nick is professional, patient & very capable. He has an excellent knowledge of the market & local resources. Nick is also very easy to work with and a thoroughly honest and good guy.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe randomly found Nick on Zillow when we were considering a move to Redondo Beach and we were so lucky to have found him. He was more than willing to show us some homes in the area to see if we would be interested in moving down there. As soon as we decided that was the place we were off and running to find something as soon as possible. Nick worked harder than any realtor I've ever met. He always made us feel like his only client (and we definitely weren't) by working to find us the perfect home day and night. When we backed out of the first home we had in escrow over something I wasn't loving he never once made us feel pressured to move forward. I always got the feeling he was working hard to find us the perfect home and be truly happy rather than make a quick dollar. The South Bay is a crazy market and it drove me absolute nuts, the only way we got through it is by having a Realtor who was on their A game working day and night. Don't call someone else, you are in great hands with Nick.
