J. Philip Faranda

I was an independent broker for 18 years, building my brand from a sole practitioner to broker-owner of a market-leading brand with three offices and nearly 100 agents. In 2023, I merged with Howard Hanna Rand Realty, which allowed me to remain with a family-owned independent brand and have more resources to focus on taking care of my clients. I was MLS President in 2014 and remain active with the local association, serving nine years on Zillow's Agent Advisory Board. I also write regularly for industry publications. The most important thing to me is a happy and satisfied clientele, and I have over 400 five-star ratings on Zillow. I produce a significant amount of consumer-educating content on my blog and YouTube channel.
