Ranked among the top 1% in Orange County boasting over $500 million in career sales since 2013, he is also named among the Top 250 Agent Teams in California by The Wall Street Journal.

A second-generation agent, Phillip grew up immersed in the world of real estate, and together with his partner and father, Michael, ran two Orange County offices for a prominent national firm all while successfully growing the Caruso Group. Today they are aligning their vision, integrity, design, and development expertise with Christie's International Real Estate | Southern California. Along with representing buyers and sellers, Phillip’s comprehensive market knowledge derives from years of working with investors to restore and build properties along the coast. “You must intrinsically understand land value, construction, architecture, design- trends, and the complex nature or history of every neighborhood.”

Phillip often represents developers and clients in the purchase or sale of a home, advising on design and build from inception to completion. At any level, all his clients benefit from an extensive list of renowned professionals in the design and development industry.

Although experts in the luxury segment, Phillip and the Caruso Group service a multitude of price categories from first-time home buyers to the most seasoned investors. He firmly believes in long-term relationships, hyper-local community knowledge, and a white-glove service experience. 

A local of Newport Beach, Phillip is passionate about the coast and the active lifestyle it provides, especially from the surf spots to the golf courses. When he’s not serving his clients in real estate, he cherishes time with his wife, their two children, and their labradoodle.
