Phil is one of the best guys in the business! He is extremely dedicated to making sure he gives his clients the best experience possible. He is a class act, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate!
Mr. Philip Kelly, Associate Broker at Murphy Realty, is the epitome of class, perseverance, and professionalism. Phil is extremely knowledgeable, honest, humble, and truly looks after his clients best interests, everything I was looking for in an agent. Phil stood by me every step of the way looking at multiple properties until finally finding "the one". Phil is also very responsive, possesses true expertise in the process, and is very knowledgeable of not only the local area but much of the Hudson Valley. I highly recommend Phil Kelly, 5 Stars, for anybodys real estate needs. Thanks again Phil!
Phil was a great resource when we were searching for a home in Upstate NY. He was able to efficiently set up times to view multiple properties in a day and does a great job of letting you explore the house while searching for any issues that are easy to overlook on a first pass at a new property. He also went above and beyond by visiting a few properties for us to just see if they would even be worthwhile.When we finally did find a property we were interested in, Phil was great at submitting & negotiating our offer as well as following up.I highly recommend working with Phil, especially if you've already been doing some research of your own and generally know what houses you want to see. He will go out of his way to make sure you see as many or as few as you'd like and is extremely responsive to questions/inquiries.
Phil worked with me, a beginner, and helped me get my first two multifamily properties. He spent a lot of his Saturdays showing me properties and was very helpful. Will work with him on next property as well.
Phil was very easy to work with! He is very knowledgeable, easy to reach and communicate with and really took the headache out of us finding our home! Cant thank him enough for all of the hard work he did for my family!
I've dealt with numerous realtors and agents in my time, as my parents moved around a lot. I'd gotten it in my head that most realtors were like the ones I'd experienced before - selling houses as a second job or retirement supplemental income. Some were brash, most had limited availability with very slow response times, most generally just seemed like they wanted their commission and you out of their hair. Phil was recommended by a friend of mine when my fiance and I went to purchase our first home together. Let me first say that we are far from normal. We were probably annoying with all of our questions and strange likes, dislikes and sarcasm.Phil was absolutely brilliant. He's easy to laugh and quick on his feet. A very friendly and honest guy, and a total breath of fresh air for what is, essentially, a salesman.As a realtor, he is punctual (usually arriving early to appointments to gather his knowledge of the property before you get there). He cares more about your long-term satisfaction than what you can line his pockets with. He will look for a home you can realistically afford, and he is 100% honest with what he thinks about a property. We were not looking in a high price range, and on a few occasions he just shook his head and said, "Run far away from this home." Quick to notice future expenses in homes for sale, he was unafraid of pointing them out. He always had time for us - we spent many days texting him for updates, information, guidance...and he drove all over the Hudson Valley to check out properties with us. Nary a word of complaint and ever the gentleman.What could possibly be said about this guy that would be bad? I honestly have no idea. He's a genuinely good human being, and he helped us find our first home. We've been happily living here for a month now and it was everything promised.TL;DR: YOU WANT PHIL. He's awesome. You won't be sorry.
Phil is very upfront and honest. He didn't try to sell us a house, he wanted to help us find a home. He pointed out negatives that we would have overlooked or missed. He truly cares about his clients.
Phil was so patient in our home search! He was flexible, communicative, professional, and courteous throughout. Phil was consistently responsive, honest, and helpful to us along our home search, and ultimately during our home purchase journey. We are grateful for his support, guidance, and knowledge!
Phil is amazing. He spent so much time working with me to find my dream home and he was with me from the beginning to end, answering the million questions I had and giving me the knowledge I needed to become a first time homeowner.
Phillip Kelly was extremely friendly and patient through our house buying experience. As first time home owners we had a lot of questions and were very unsure of the whole process. He was honest and great to work with. He was great about working around our schedules and readily available.
I was selling my first home and Philip walked me through the whole process. He answered all my questions and concerns with respect and professionalism. We set a fair price and my house sold within a week.
My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to buy a house and had absolutely no idea what we were doing and where to start. After calling Phil he explained the entire process and started to show us some houses. We told him some key things we wanted in a home and he found us just that. Our new home is perfect for us and we can not thank him enough for his patience, guidance, and generous support throughout the entire process.
Phil was absolutely wonderful. We couldnt of had a better realtor by our side for our first home buying experience. Very knowledgeable in his field. Always there to answer any questions we had (we had LOTS) and provided lots of helpful advice that made us very comfortable with the whole process. Phil went above and beyond as a realtor and I definitely recommend having him by your side whenever you buy or sell a home. We were truly glad we did!
Making the decision to sell my childhood home that had been in my family for over 30 years was not an easy one. Phil Kelly however, made the process an easier one, keeping in constant contact with me with any updates and interested buyers. I'm sure I was not an easy client to deal with, especially since the process was not something I've ever dealt with. He answered my many texts and phone calls with patience and went beyond the normal work time parameters of 9-5. Selling my home was not easy, but I highly recommend Phil as a real estate agent for his honesty, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the industry.
Phil helped us sell our house we lived in for 27 years and helped with the process of finding a reasonable place to rent while we getting a new house he went above and beyond
Phil Kelly helped us fine our wonderful home we are in now. He went to great lengths to help us find the right house in our price range. I would recommend him to everyone. He truly know his stuff.
Phil has been showing us houses longer than I would like to admit. Anyone looking to buy in this area knows how difficult it can be to find the right home, and Phil has been incredibly patient and is always available. He is knowledgeable in the different areas of the Hudson Valley and gives excellent advice, and takes into consideration our specific situation and long term goals when doing so.
I first met Phil when he sold my son his first home. Once we decided to sell our home we knew Phil was the one . Phil understood what we wanted and choose homes for us to look at that were not only in our price range but just what we were looking for. When he sold our home over the holidays he knew we needed to buy ASAP. He took us in one day to look at 7 Houses, When ever we looked at a home Phil was always knowledgeable and never hesitated to point out any problem he saw. He always had our best interest at heart. He is always available when I call him to guide me when I feel the process is going to slow. I would highly recommend Phil and I do everyday. Thank you Phil!
Phil has been incredibly responsive and has great local insights. And while he provided us with lots of variety he always kept the search process tailored to our interests, not his. And he was able to recommend other professionals to help through the whole process. 5 stars!
Phil has been a wonderful help in our search for a new home. He's very patient, honest, knowledgeable and most importantly, he's responsive. We would definitely seek his help in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a new home. Thanks Phil!
Phil has been so much help and a real pleasure to work with. Hes not high pressure, but aggressive where it counts when searching for homes since theres currently not a lot out there that fit my needs, but Phil stays ontop of it and has been a huge help in finding the perfect fit. Hes knowledgeable, hard working, and all around a great guy. Ill be using him for all real estate related transactions and highly recommend him.
Phil has been amazing to work with and will always be my go to person. Hes responsive, which I have found is rare. Hes Knowledgeable and a true professional, always listening and answering my questions, guiding me through the home buying process, and always looking out for my interest. Id highly recommend Phil to anyone whos looking to buy or sell real estate!
Phil was very helpful, responsive and professional in all my dealings with him. He was honest in pointing out good as well as potentially troublesome aspects of the houses we looked at. Even after the sale, he made sure to follow up with me to insure everything was going OK. He was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Earlier this summer I was looking at options for buying a condo or townhouse in the region so that I could give up apartment/rent. He was very thorough and helpful in identifying properties and quickly picked up on what was important to me, my style, and my preferences. Although I had to renew my apartment's lease and we didn't find a condo or townhouse I wanted at that time, I'll surely go back to him next year when I'm closer to the end of my current lease to see what's on the market then.
Mr. Kelly takes his job as a realtor seriously. He listens to what the customers are looking for and does a great job trying to find you the home you are looking for. He is knowledgeable and answered all of our questions that we had throughout the entire process. Ilhe always responded to message from my wife and myself quickly and diligently. It was a pleasure having him as our realtor.
We reached out to Phil from a referral by another client of his. He has been working with us throughout 2018 to help us find a new house. He is very patient with our needs and qualifications. He also is very impressive when looking at homes as he does his research. His hours are very flexible to our busy schedule. He accommodates us for evenings and weekend showings. I highly recommend him to anyone in the market for anew home or even to list their home.
I would definitely recommend Phil he is very patient knowledgeable and professional. He helped guide me through my very first home purchase. I will certainly be using him for my second home!!!
FOUR YEARS : That is how long this man stuck with me as my Realtor. Phil indulged me as I rejected houses that I didn't even walk into; he stood by my side through all three sessions it took to get the nightmare of an inspection done on the home I chose. When my father decided to buy a house, you can bet, Phil Kelly was the Realtor I called. Whether buying or selling, Philip Kelly is your man.
Phil is wonderful! He is patient, kind and professional. He explains everything and makes sure you understand it before moving on to the next step. He has been the most helpful person I've spoken with in the house hunting process. Being a first time homebuyer, I love that when Phil is showing a house to me, he will point out things that need to be addressed or are of concern on a house and doesn't just overlook it.
I was very happy with top notch real estate services provided by Phil Kelly. He always demonstrated that he represented US as his client and was always easy to contact and very responsive to our queries during the whole process. I trusted him and the guidance he provided as we worked through the various phases of selling our home. I highly recommend Phil Kelly for anyone needing real estate representation.
Phil has been amazing to deal with. My fiance and I are first time home buyers and he has been so patient and there for every little question we have had.
Mr. Kelly performed an evacuation of a house I was considering purchasing. He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Based in part on his evaluation, I did end up purchasing the home and have been very happy with my decision. I would absolutely recommend Phil as a realtor and plan on using him if I ever do decide to leave this house.
Phil sold our home for us. He is one of the hardest workers I know. Not only is he knowledgeable on real estate matters but he is honest and sincere. You couldnt get a better person to sell your home or help you find your new forever home.

Phil was amazing to work with. He was attentive and listened to everything we needed and wanted. He was patient in answering my myriad of questions and found us the perfect house for our needs. He is the most professional, kind, courteous, knowledgeable and available real estate agent I have ever worked with. I can't recommend him higher!
I knew from day one that I would stick with Phil to the end of the house buying process. He's like that friend you call when you need know something or get something done,that he would be there. He would not only point out good aspects off a property ,but the bad ones to,it was as if he was buying it.He is very flexible in working with you and very knowledgeable.He would switch gears when you would ,sometimes you don't really know what your looking for when you start this process.My wife and I were very happy with Phil he's like your big brother that has your back.
I remember one of the first things Phil said to me when we met for our first day of house hunting. He said aEURoeI'm not here to sell you a house. I'm here to help find a house thats perfect for youaEUR?. Phil is always upbeat and smiling! Even when we were looking at what I swear had to be the thirtieth house or so... Phil still had that winning smile and was full of positive reinforcement. In the end we did find a home that was perfect for us! As a first time home buyer I was very intimidated by the whole process, but Phil never made me feel any pressure or judgment. He was always a phone call away if I had ANY question no matter how small it was. I had an excellent experience with Phil and if we ever outgrow our home he is the first person I will call!!
Phil would travel to meet us to see houses over 45 minutes away from him and was always willing to find a good time for he both of us. We never felt rushed and he was always honest about what he would find in the houses that would raise suspicion. So glad we finally found our house with Phil by our side!
Wonderful experience, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, recommend Phil to all. Phil guided me through all the negotiations expertly and extremely helpful in all the stages in the process of selling my house
Phil helped us buy our first home and we couldnt be more thankful for him. We looked at a few homes and he really had our best interest at heart. We have recommended him to all our friends who are house hunting.
Phil is very professional and helpful. He found a home for my young son. Helped him with the home buying process from beginning to end. He helped with negotiating the price, so the home would be more affordable. Phil is very sharp at spotting problems in the homes that we viewed which we didn't notice. He even recommended an inspector to do our house inspection. Phil is very professional, yet friendly and made my son's dream of home ownership come true. Thank you again Phil
Phil was very patient during our home buying experience. We were very picky on the house we wanted and he searched, viewed, and toured many homes with us until we found our perfect home. I highly recommend Phil for you home sopping needs.
Very good with working out price. He would take you were ever you wanted to buy your house. He works around your time schedule without an issue.He also will point out things you might not see
Philip Kelly has guided us through our first and only house sale. We have lived in our one and only house for 46 years. We have raised our 3 children in this home. Through marriage, births, schooling and our "empty nest", this home had been our rock.Illness and age lead us to sell this house. Philip Kelly has been respectful of our "family home" and the house we are selling and has been an ever present resource for us when questions have arisen.
Phil is amazing! He made the otherwise daunting process of selling our old and buying our new home extremely easy. He worked tirelessly to help us find a new home. He was able to show us houses in a wide range of areas. Phil makes himself readily available. We felt that no matter what, we were his top priority! We couldnt ask for a better, knowledge, respectful and down right honest person to help us! Thank you, Phil. You are top notch!

Philip was the best agent we could have asked for. He took the time to listen to what we were looking for in a forever home and didn't just show us random houses. I recommend Philip to all my friends and family who is looking for a house.
Phil helped me buy my first house. All through this stressful process where banks were asking for this and that by a specific time Phil was there to explain in words i could understand. Knowing what to expect next and roughly how long things take makes the waiting a little easier.
My wife and I have been on the house hunt for almost 5 years (on and off with some life events). We have been through 4 realtors in that time. About a year ago we hooked up with Phil and it was the best move we made! Throughout the process Phil was knowledgeable, patient, and always available for a last minute showing or phone call. He was always honest and gently helped us with some decisions when we were on the fence by providing some useful insight. He was always professional and never pushy; several times he emphasized that when we find the right house we would know and he would be happy to continue showing throughout! I am very happy to say that we finally closed on our new home this week!! Phil was with us every step of the way. I would recommend Phil to anyone, without hesitation. My only regret is that, now that we are homeowners, we will no longer need to meet with Phil every week.
