Marvin has been an ongoing resource to our family’s multiple moves. I have always felt at ease and trusted his knowledge and ability.

I first worked with Marvin when I purchased my first investment property in Long Beach, then again when I sold it, and again when I bought my condo in Ladera Ranch.
Since I was a three-time "repeat customer" you might guess that these transactions were great experiences, and you'd be right. So it was only natural that when my girlfriend was ready to sell her house in Whittier we reached out again to Marvin.
In addition to providing the usual comps, Marvin recommended improvements to help sell the house and gave us a choice of moderate to extensive, what the approximate cost of each option would be, and what the estimated sales price we could expect for each option.
The best part is that because we live out of state, Marvin agreed to act as our eyes and ears on the remodel. He recommended a contractor to do the work, took pictures of the months-long progress, answered all our questions, and went above and beyond the call by cleaning the sunroom windows himself the day of the Open.

We rarely participate in reviews, even when service is great However, our experience with Magic Marvin of The Phillips Group was so exceptional that others should know that quality service is still available.

My wife & I wanted to sell a second home that we had in our family for 20 years. The decision to sell was already emotional, so we asked if Marvin could take care of most of the "details" if not all. I understood it was a Tall Ask, but from the first meeting with Marvin, he establised trust with us as clients. He took notes of where we were as a family & understood not only what we wanted from the sell of this home, but what we needed.

Marvin had expertise of the housing market, finances & all related & fully explained the process to us. He kept us updated on every step & consulted us on every decision. Most if all , Marvin took us from start to finish & managed to minimize our emotional stress around the sell of our home of 20 years. Thus earning the name Magic Marvin!

Marvin Phillip made my homebuying process incredibly easy. He is extremely professional and dedicated to making life long relationships with his clients. Not to mention all the awesome parties he throws to bring his clients together. I am so grateful that I was referred to him. Marvin listens to your needs and is neither pushy nor impatient.

Within the first afternoon of meeting and looking at houses I was able to confidently put an offer on a home. Marvin and his team helped me mobilize and get all the pieces in place to be competitive and even gave great advice on extra things I could do to improve my chances of an accepted offer.

Marvin Phillip is my go to guy for real estate questions and concerns. He has always been very helpful and informative since day one. I highly recommend him and his team to everyone i know who is interested in purchasing a home. He is very resourceful, and provides excellent customer service. There is not enough space in this review section to describe Marvin's awesomeness, and how much I appreciate his services, assistance, and friendship. Keep up the good work Marvin, you are tops!

I owned a vacation property that I decided to sell. I’d purchased properties before, but I’d never sold one, so I wanted someone that I was confident could successfully guide me through the process. The property was two hours away, and I didn’t know any of the realtors in that area, so how was I going to find someone I could trust?

I turned to Marvin Phillip, who I knew was doing a great job with clients near me. Marvin teamed up with a realtor from his network who served that other market and had the connections to get things done there. Between the two of them—Marvin to do the hand-holding and answer my unending barrage of questions, and the other to handle the local aspects—the sale went smoothly and for more than I anticipated.

Marvin was not only professional every step of the way, but he was also congenial, minimized my stress, and even rolled up his sleeves when that’s what was needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marvin Phillip to friends or family.

My wife and I have known Marvin for about eight years now from when he assisted us with the purchase process of our current home. He has proved to be a good listener, extremely courteous, very professional and patient. He is a great person to work with and is someone that likes to have a bit of fun with client appreciation, i.e., boat rides, pie giveaways, sip and paint, etc.
When I’ve attempted to take on a repair or replacement project around the house and realized that I have bitten off more than I can chew, I have reached out to Marvin for a referral. Marvin is also a great sounding board; I spoke with him recently and shared issues that I’m having with my most current project and without missing a beat he began to offer solutions and he reached out to a contractor he works with to suggest a remedy.
Thank you, Marvin, for who you are and all that you do for your clients!

Marvin was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, experienced and cares about his clients. He walked us through every step of selling our house, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. If we had any questions he was always available to answer them. He always went above and beyond and helped take the stress out of the process, which made moving out of state seamless. Whether you’re looking to sell or buy, I highly recommend Marvin as your realtor!
