About Us
Who Are We
Johnny started his professional career as a public school teacher. Earning a Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree and Specialist Degree, he was ready to commit to his 30 years in education. But Johnny always had other irons in the fire. A self proclaimed business builder, Johnny tried a number of different ways to make money on the side. Selling Boiled Peanuts and Starting a Crab Farm are two of the most memorable ventures Johnny has tried to make money outside the classroom.
Lizzy has been everywhere and seen everything once. Born in the states, raised in Sweden, schooling in Germany, and worldwide for humanitarian work, Lizzy has literally seen all four corners of the world. With a marketing background, Real Estate was an easy transition for Lizzy to make. Once Lizzy got into Real Estate, then the creative juices started flowing. Johnny got into Real Estate part time while teaching and eventually left the classroom altogether to join Lizzy and start The Phillips Team.
What began as a two person team quickly grew to 7 people. It was at that time that Johnny and Lizzy decided to take a hard look at their agents and redirect the team. They wanted their team to be known for working hard and getting results. Scaling down the team to the agents that shared that vision and drive left the team smaller but stronger.
Why eXp?
We have been in Real Estate long enough to see through the promises of Team Leaders and Brokers of different offices. The pitch is usually the same with a little variation from office to office. Like most agents, we tried to ignore eXp. It seemed like a gimmick, and we wanted nothing to do with it. But little by little we learned more about it until we couldn’t ignore it anymore.
We Wanted 3 Things From An Ideal Brokerage:
- We wanted to brand our business our way without a franchise telling us how to do it.
- We wanted to build our team our way without someone dictating how we are allowed to do it.
- We wanted to plan for our future both in and out of Real Estate. eXp checked all three of those boxes.
Once we spoke with someone about what our business would look like with eXp, it was a no brainer for us. And with 100% honesty, we haven’t looked back once. Since moving brokerages, we have built our business exactly how we wanted, easily doubled our real estate income, and we have both immediate passive income and stock put away for retirement.
Is it for everyone? Honestly, no. eXp is for business builders. Not all Real Estate agents are entrepreneurs. But for those that are, eXp is the best way to build your business. eXp is the fastest growing brokerage in America, and there’s good reason for it.
eXp curious? Just ask. We will answer your questions without any pressure, promise.
