Phillips Ben

About Phillips

Although raised in North Florida, Ben moved back to Gainesville (having previously lived here in the mid 90’s) and joined the Focus Real Estate Group team in 2006, after working six years as a Realtor® in the South Florida area. While there, Ben was recognized as the Keyes Company Realtors “Rookie of the Year.” and later served as assistant manager for the Keyes Boynton Beach office, and as sales manager for the Coldwell Banker Boca Raton Central & Beach offices and their combined 300 agents. After these successes with the “big box” firms, Ben chose to work with Focus Real Estate Group so he could continue to provide all the bells and whistles of the national brands— along with the personal service commonly associated and expected with smaller boutique firms. Ben specializes primarily in residential sales, campus housing, and multi-family/investment properties as well as property management within the greater Gainesville area. As well as being a Certified Negotiation Specialist and Certified Home Marketing Specialist, Ben most recently received his newest designation as a Military Relocation Professional. Over the years, Ben has served on the Realtor Image Committee and volunteered countless hours to Habitat for Humanity and “Student of the Week” recognition programs. Earlier in life, Ben served as a member of the US Air Force for six years, with tours in Europe as well as the United State Air Force Academy, receiving two Air Force Commendation medals as well as numerous other achievement awards and recognition. Ben currently serves on the Board of Directors for North Central Florida Foundation for Affordable Housing and is a Board of Director Emeritus for Alachua Habitat for Humanity. Ben is married to his wife Kimberly and they share four incredible adult children in Zack, Brandon, Lauren, and Kiersten. Ben and Kimberly are also active members of Greenhouse Church in Gainesville.

The best agent you can find

Ben did everything for me. I told him my gola was to not visit the city if need be. He let workers in and corrdinated with them and even recommended other services that I was more than happy with. Even more so than my own team. I will always and do highly recommend Ben as your best option as a realtor in Gainesville.
