Our Local Team
Phil Wahlberg | Manager Associate
What’s your favorite local spot to unwind after a busy day? After a busy day, I love to unwind on my front porch, where I can relax and soak in the evening breeze. I also enjoy The Iron Ranger, a charming spot that has a great atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to take a break and enjoy the local vibe.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone buying their first home, what would it be? When buying your first home, it’s essential to research different neighborhoods to understand their vibe and amenities. Visit various areas at different times to get a feel for the community. Tour a variety of homes to discover what features matter most to you, like layout or outdoor space. Working with a knowledgeable real estate agent will provide information on market trends and help you with short and long term plans. The more you explore, the clearer your priorities will become!
What’s one unexpected thing people might not know about you? One thing that might surprise people is that I've always dreamed of being the lead singer in a band.
Which home feature or design trend do you find most exciting right now? The shift among homebuyers is towards less open space, with a preference for a mix of public and private areas within their homes.
If you weren’t in real estate, what career would you imagine yourself in? If I weren't working in real estate, I would probably pursue a career as an architectural product representative or a city building official, leaning into my past experience in the architectural community.

What’s your favorite local spot to unwind after a busy day? I love Emerald, my clients’ family bar/restaurant. I also love Dan Guerrero’ new place the 620 Club, formerly Keenans. Both on W 7th St.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone buying their first home, what would it be? Find the cheapest house in the best neighborhood you can afford. Sweat equity goes a long way….. Todays younger buyers are not hot about fixer uppers. But they can be the most lucrative and fastest way to add equity/value to your home.
What’s one unexpected thing people might not know about you? I have traveled the globe sourcing women’s & men’s accessories in India, Thailand, China & Korea.
Which home feature or design trend do you find most exciting right now? Under the umbrella of Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Design…Energy efficiency and the use of reused/recycled materials like wood glass, and metals
If you weren’t in real estate, what career would you imagine yourself in? If I had not found real estate, I may have stayed in fashion and perhaps focused on sustainable fashion.
