As we enter the last month of 2010's first quarter, I am happy to observe the growth the company is experiencing. A few facts:
- The firm now has 15 licensed agents living in 6 counties spanning from Long Island to Dutchess County.
- We have as a company over 50 active listings.
- As of today, with our first Manhattan listing inked in Hudson Heights, our inventory of homes includes listings in 3 of New York's 5 boroughs, Nassau and Suffolk on Long Island, Fairfield, CT, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess and Greene Counties.
- A new agent is projected to join the company this month.
- I am hiring. We still have openings for new team members who want to grow in our system. New or experienced alike are welcome.
- We have over 10 pending sales in the pipeline with the busy Spring cycle beginning to heat up in spite of the cold weather.
- The fastest growing source of clientele is our Internet presence, especially the company website and blog.
Not bad for an operation started in '05 in a bedroom with a fax, cell phone and a few ideas.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Ah memories. The "state of your company" is just about like mine was in about 1999. Then it kept growing and the agents came and sold and we grew and our sales grew and it was profitable.
It was also a lot of hard work. Get ready.
The mantle of a managing broker/owner is often heavy.
Congrats! I'm thinking of getting my own broker license soon and starting my own company. Your words are encouraging!
Not bad at all J Phiip! Congratulations!
When I grow up I want to be just like you. Congrats. That's very encouraging.
Great work J Phillip! Great job on growing your business through blogging and social media!
Congratulations. . . is 2005 for me and I I hope to write a similar post in 2015
congratulations, Philip
Congratulations - great to hear good news!
Phil, you offer a real difference for agents seeking a forward thinking broker- congrats, and keep growing east!
Congrats on the growth of your company Phil. I hope you have another great year.
Congratulations on your success.
Hi Philip,
Congratulations-growing in leaps and bounds-hard word always pays off, as my Mom liked to say.
Congratulations Phil. It's always very inspiring and refreshing to read about success stories like yours. There is good news happening out there and you're a great example of that. Keep up the great work!!!
Congratulations. Your success gives me hope and inspiration. We are currently still in the bedroom stage of our company so its nice to see that it is possible! I wish you continued growth and much success.
Congrats. Do the agents get most of their leads through your efforts or do they all pull their own weight? 15 agents is a lot to keep busy.
Phil - Congratulations on achieving the American dream!!! All the best with your success, current and future.
J Philip,
Awesome, what I have noticed here throughout your blogs is your positive attitude and can do spirit. Also, if you can thrive is this current market, you will be poised to blast off in a future better market!
All the best, Michelle
I salute you, Philip! With all the bad news one hears, it is lovely to learn that a hardworking, dedicated professional is thriving.
Woot!
Good job Philip so happy for you and your company.
Congratulations to you! Hard work and good ethics pay off in the long run. :)
It's always fun to see quality triumph over quantity. Keep it up.

I didn't expect this, but I seldom can predict the actions of the Rain gawds. Thanks for your good wishes and observations. The ironic thing is that, at this stage of the company that we've worked so hard to reach that we've put ourselves in the position of...more work. And responsibilities. And being a mother hen. And big brother. And confidant. And advisor. And manager. And coach. And mentor. All while still being in charge of marketing, sales, accounting, maintenance, janitorial, fire putting outing, uncomfortable phone calls, mega absorbtion of negativity, and work work work. Rinse, repeat. You have to love it.
If I couldn't write my thoughts it would be harder, and I appreciate the support.
Congratulations on the growth of your company during a time when many have gone out of business. Those that have quit surely did so for financial reasons, but with less competition, you now stand a better chance of future success! Business must constantly evolve and improve to survive. Keep up the great momentum.
Oh Yeah my man !!!!!
This is a great post to read, and I have no doubt the trend will continue upward !!!
Congrats JP, and all the very best for the Spring at J. Philip Real Estate !
Congrats- on your success.
Well good luck in the future....

Congrats Philip, sounds like your on tract for a successful 2010! Your either growing or declining, right?
Congrats on your growth! Something positive.
I'm very happy for your success. Congratulations.
Philip,
I think a lot of us are watching your new start up, by cheering on your success. I love to see new entrepreneurs, in any industry, go out and take the risk with their own firm. I have a friend who is starting an office, like you have, in a strong Texas RE market, and I hope to follow both of you, and learn from your experience.
Philip,
Congratulations and wishing you continued success.
Good job my neighbor in Westchester!
YIPPEE for the independent brokers/brokerages!!
This is great news, Phil. I'm sure that some of that success you can attribute to your blogging here in the Rain.
Congrats Philip -- and to your other agents that you lead and support you as well. An agent could spend 30 minutes on your blog and get a real good sense of the depth of knowledge you bring to the table!
Philp - YAY! Good for you! Just one thing,...don't forget about having to answer the Dipstick questions. If you need any help, give me a call :-)
Nice, Phil! I'm celebrating my 3rd year anniversary in a few months, and we'll celebrate by moving into a larger, more prominent location. We are growing too. It feels great, in this downturn, eh?
GOOD LUCK
Hi Philip. That is awesome. In this market this is great news. All the best to you and your company.
Yeah :)
Sounds very exciting and gratifying. Congratulations on the growth. I sometimes fantasize about starting my own firm. I'm enjoying my freedom.
From the desk of David Dee,
J Philip, congrats and way to go! Looks like you've got a good running machine there. :D
Congratulations!
