About David Phillips Realtor®
I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and graduated in 1995 from Shippensburg University with a B.S. degree in Marketing. As president of the Shippensburg University Marketing Club, I received national recognition for Outstanding Membership Activities.
My passion is running and pushing myself to see what I am capable of as I have run a number of marathons and ultras. In April of 2008, I started organizing the Virginia Beach Running Meetup Group which as grown tremendously under my leadership, recruitment and marketing skills. As the running group grew and the coverage area expanded, the name was changed to Hampton Roads Runners. On January 1st, 2009, an article was published in the Beacon about the group. We strive to promote running in the community, so when I am not assisting my clients in buying or selling homes, I can be found running and training for races. On May 4th, 2009, I was recognized as the Meetup.com organizer for the week out of 61,625 Meetup groups worldwide. In 2011, I qualifed for the Boston Marathon in 2013 under the new qualifying standards.
Otherwise, you may find me on the volleyball court as I play volleyball on the beach and at The Fieldhouse or volunteering in the community at a project or event.
Work experience includes:
- Customer service manager with a major electronics retailer
- Outside sales of office furniture
- Manufacturer's rep - Athletic flooring sales through architects, contractors, schools etc.
In 1999, I chose to relocate to Virginia because of the hospitality of the people, warm weather, and the beach. With my marketing background, work experience, and integrity, I will provide dedicated service to help you sell your present home or, find the right new home in the South Hampton Roads area. I can make the difference! With over 8 years of experience helping local buyers and sellers just like yourself, I know how to locate the finest properties and negotiate the best deals. It's my job to know about the latest market conditions, government regulations, and upcoming developments — so that you don't have to.
Let me put my marketing skills to work for you.
