Agent Profile

Quick witted and approachable, combined with his mantra of client focus and service orientation, Philip works tirelessly for his clients with honesty and integrity, all traits he brings to the real estate table along with 30 years of trade contacts and sales experience in the NYC fashion industry.

After working corporately and being recognized as a top producer for a number of large firms on 7th Ave., Philip opened his own agency in 2001, launching and growing a number of women's sportswear brands and servicing buyers from hundreds of specialty boutiques, major department stores, on-line retailers and large chain store operations, treating each of them with the same level of attention.

Born and raised in Chicago to a musical family, Philip studied classical piano at the American Conservatory of Music but heeded a call from the fashion world after his first year at Carleton College. Moving to NYC at 18, transferring to Pratt Institute and ultimately to The Fashion Institute of Technology, he has been selling and brokering deals for 30 years.

Philip has been coming to the Hamptons since the late 80's and fulfilled a life long dream of owning a home there 16 years ago when he and his partner bought in the NW Woods. In 2014 he moved full time to EH, a place he loves passionately and is happy to call his full time home. He has served proudly on the board of his neighborhood association for the last 7 years and supports the East Hampton Library, LVIS and the East Hampton Historical Society.

In his spare time, Philip enjoys live music, theatre, boating, hiking and simply exploring the endless beauty of the East End.
