"My wife and I shopped for a home for the better part of a year and a half here, there, and everywhere around the north Austin area with Phil Hutson. He was always more than accommodating with meeting us whenever, wherever. His knowledge of the structural aspects of homes and also the way the market acts around here were invaluable to us through the entire process. He was very professional and got results with every entity we had to deal with when purchasing our home in Leander. We HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell." - Anonymous

"My husband and I would trust Phil Hutson with ANY real estate transaction. We were lucky enough to find Phil when we needed to purchase our first home when we arrived in Texas and he was absolutely fantastic! We had such a great experience that he was the first person we contacted when we needed to sell our home a few years later. We never even considered someone else. Phil is a straight-shooter and will help you weigh all of the pros and cons your home purchase/sale. He explains all the ins and outs of the process and his experience will make you feel at ease with the otherwise cumbersome (and sometimes frustrating) bureaucracy of real estate. We couldn't recommend him more highly. Thank you, Phil, for all of your expertise!" - Monica F.

"Phil Hutson assisted me with the purchase of a second home in Leander, Texas. I have worked with many real estate brokers and agents on several real estate transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Phil is the best agent/ broker I have ever used. Phil has the qualities that make him an extremely successful and effective broker. I can’t say enough about his professionalism and knowledge within the industry. He has high integrity and is very conscientious and tenacious, always keeping the client's best interests in mind. He does a great job of listening to his client’s needs and does not waste time showing properties which do not meet the client’s objectives. He is extremely responsive to questions and texts, responding immediately to clarify our questions. He shows great attention to the details enabling the transaction to get done. I have the highest level of confidence in him. Our transaction went very smoothly and we closed on time. We had few issues prior to closing, Phil followed up many times with the building supervisor and updated us until the issue was resolved. Phil represented us on the purchase side of the transaction. I also would not hesitate to use him as my listing agent if I were selling a property. He is very smart and transactions can sometimes become very complex, I have the highest level of confidence in him and he should be able to properly assess any situation and figure out an effective solution. In future transactions, I will only have Phil represent me." - John S.

★★★★★
"Phil was awesome throughout our home search and buying experience. Would highly recommend him! " - Tracey G.

★★★★★
"I couldn't have asked for a better agent than Phil. He provided excellent service and guidance to us through a difficult process. Phil made us feel like family from the first moment we met him. I can (and will) highly recommend him to anyone who needs an agent. We learned through the sale of the house that there are some terrible agents out there, which made us realize how valuable a good agent like Phil is to have." - Alyssa C.

★★★★★
"We are thankful for all of Phil's support and this wonderful surprise. We have been so blessed through this whole process, including having a Realtor whose value system is in line with how we move through our lives as well. Compass is very lucky to have such an amazing Realtor on their staff! We will continue to refer all of our friends and colleagues to Phil as they become ready to purchase their homes. His integrity and quality of care make working with Phil the easiest decision in choosing a Realtor." - Christie and Don

★★★★★
"Selling a house can be stressful. Lucky for us, we had Phil Hutson helping to quarterback the process. Phil is very hands-on, and you can tell he actually cares about your needs. With everything that is going on Pandemic, homeschooling, etc.. It was good to have a guy like Phil in our corner to make sure we were as prepared as could be to make this process as smooth as it could be." - Kurtis S.

★★★★★
"Phil Hutson provided my wife and I with all the information and guidance that we need. Phil was always available, professional, and helpful. Phil knew the market and guided us to a piece of property that suited our investment needs. We were very happy to have Phil as our agent and would recommend him to any and everyone! We are very satisfied with Phil as our agent!" - Paul and Winnie G.

★★★★★
"Phil was very helpful, considerate, knowledgeable about the local market, and a joy to work with. " - Jill A.

★★★★★
"Phil was wonderful to work with. He recognized what we were looking for immediately and steered us away from areas that he knew didn't fit our criteria. He was also very knowledgeable of the various builders, both custom and production. We really enjoyed working with him. We found a wonderful new house and friend!" - Sheila and John L.

★★★★★
"This was my first time buying a house, and Phil really helped us at every turn. I really appreciated all of his expertise and advise. We are very happy. " - Adrian D.

★★★★★
"Our new home building experience had some pretty rough edges, but with Phil's expertise of new home construction and his help as liaison with the construction manager, the process was made a whole lot smoother, and we got a home built the way WE wanted it!" - Larry and C. C.

★★★★★
"Phil Hutson was (and is) terrific. I find that many aspects of moving really suck canal water. The stress of moving to another state compounds things. Phil was a pleasure to meet and to work with. The man is loaded with local knowledge of climate, building and construction practices, and neighborhoods, all the things you would want a realtor to have. My wife and I were very happy. Phil says \I'll be there at a particular time". He'll be there early. If he feels that a particular area is just not right for the home buyer he will say so. Direct, honest and reliable. Chris and I feel very fortunate to have made this connection. Phil helped us a great deal with the purchase of our new home and we feel that he was really focused on having us be happy. "" - Bill L.

★★★★★
"Phil Hutson is an honest and hardworking Realtor! I am a commercial Realtor in Ohio and was probably not the easiest client to work with as I am picky and expect a lot. It was a pleasure working with him. Phil is competent, honest and hard working. I could not ask for much more." - Lisa W.

★★★★★
"We were new to Round Rock and new to Texas. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and concerns. Phil Hutson was very knowledgeable and walked us through every step of the process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!" - Joshua P. K.

★★★★★
"Phil was our 'selling agent' on one home, and our 'buyer agent' on 2 homes, and just recently sold our son his first home. We would not think of using anyone else in our family's real estate transactions." - George and C. D.

★★★★★
"Phil was exceptional. He knows every sales associate at every builder's name by heart. Every area by heart. Every school district with fact. We went out one day to look at a neighborhood called Parkside at Mayfield, and walked into the one house that was $30,000 over our budget. Well, guess what, my wife was in love. Game over, I was doomed. My wife and I went to dinner after and we called Phil after. \Phil if we can get the cost down by $25k, we are in.\" 30 minutes later we get a call from Phil. \"Albert, I talked to the President of the builder, the house is yours at the price you want.\" Unbelievable. Phil is our hero. We are in a dream house, dream backyard and we are absolutely in love. Our family will grow quite nicely in our home. If it was not for Phil's patience, expertise, ethic and care I am positive that we would not be as happy in another home as we are in our home now. Thank you, Compass, and especially Phil Hutson! " - Albert P.

★★★★★
"Phil has extensive knowledge of Austin and the surrounding area. He did a great job of asking questions and listening and then recommending areas for me to look at. He was able to show me some areas that I had not previously considered and turns out was exactly what I was looking for. Phil is very comfortable with the whole process; you can tell he has been doing this for a long time. Everything went according to schedule, and he was always there to answer my questions. I guess the best thing I can say is that if I had to sell or buy another home, I wouldn't hesitate to call him up again. " - Justin M.

★★★★★
"My wife and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service we received from Phil Hutson. My wife is active duty military, and we were searching for homes near Georgetown while I was still working in NYC, and she was training in San Antonio. Phil made this remote process so easy and made himself available on our very limited schedule. His dedication to his clients was evident in the way that he offered his infinite knowledge on home builders, construction, the buying process, etc. As first-time home buyers, we had a million questions, and he answered every single one patiently and honestly. Being a local to the area we were shopping in, Phil also provided us with excellent recommendations for places to eat, drink, and explore. He truly went above and beyond in making our move from New York both efficient and enjoyable. If you're looking for a home in the Northwest Austin area, Phil's your guy!" - John and Monica M.

★★★★★
"Phil Hutson was the perfect agent for two elderly out of state home buyers. He guided us through every step, from learning to use the Compass database to sitting in on, and even driving us to and from, the closing of escrow. The Compass database is an excellent tool for narrowing the home search. Phil regularly reviewed my searches and periodically called me in California to review my selections and provide insights into neighborhoods, tax rates, association fees and other factors regarding each home. In the several months of my sorting and Phil advising, we narrowed our selection down to a few floor plans, several neighborhoods, and a price range. When we flew to Austin to make our first physical search, Phil guided us to a great selection of houses. We were able to open an escrow in less than two days. While we were ready to buy a home, Phil insisted that we see others. When we were willing to pay full price, Phil correctly asserted that he could negotiate a better deal for us. We finally purchased what we think was the best house at a great price. During the escrow period, when we were in California, Phil kept us up to date by email and telephone. When we arrived in Austin, he kept us up to date and personally reviewed all documents. At closing, Phil drove us to the title company through dreaded downtown Austin traffic and sat in on the closing." - George S.

★★★★★
"Working with Phil Huston at Compass was one of the greatest partnerships and learning experiences of all time! As first time home buyers, we were not sure where to start. I stumbled upon Phil while I was searching for homes and he called me, introduced himself, was not pushy. He earned our trust right away, and he treated us like family throughout the entire process. Phil has an abundance of experience and knowledge, helps teach you what to look for, etc. By the time he helped us land in the ideal neighborhood and home, it was actually bittersweet because we will miss talking to Phil all the time. I hope he still wants to hear from us, and he will have to if we send more referrals his way. Thank you, Phil, for everything!" - Laura M.

★★★★★
"Phil Hutson did an outstanding job as our realtor. His insight and experience proved to be such a tremendous asset in managing the sale of my Mom's home. We simply cannot thank him enough for the great job he did. We were so fortunate to have such a professional and personable realtor who worked so diligently for us." - Raechelle M.

★★★★★
"I had never met Phil prior to listing our house for sale. He proved to be knowledgeable, very well informed about current real estate trends, and he worked tirelessly for us. His patience throughout the sales process was exemplary. Would we recommend him, and Compass, to others? In a heartbeat." - Susan B.

★★★★★
"We have moved 5 times in the last 8 years and have never had as good an experience with a REALTOR as we did with Phil Hutson! All Realtors should have the same "mindset" as Phil - service BEFORE commission. Unfortunately, that had NOT been the case in some of our other purchases! Thank you for your Professionalism!" - Chris and Pam C.

★★★★★
"It was a pleasure working with Phil Hutson. He was very helpful throughout my whole home buying process, start to finish. Phil always would go the extra mile to make sure I am getting the best deal on my new home. Phil did not stop there, he frequently went over to my home as it was being built and made sure the home builder was building an excellent home. My wife and I really value and appreciate Phil's knowledge and expertise during this while life changing process." - Steven P.

★★★★★
"We had a great experience with Phil. He worked with us patiently and always ready to help. We will highly recommend Phil and Compass to anyone looking to buy or sell their home." - Sudhir P.

★★★★★
"As a former mortgage banker I've seen every end of the real-estate spectrum, and Phil Hutson is at the very top. From the first phone call when we, as Californian neophytes to the Austin market, began to learn the big picture, to the very end with a very kind and generous gift-basket personally chosen by Phil, we had a top-notch experience. I might add that having gone through a succession of mortgage funders for our challenging loan (as flaky artists, our tax returns are eccentric), Phil not only found a private money lender who made it happen but stayed on top of each lender we worked with, the builder, the title process - we truly rested secure knowing we were in good hands. There was little doubt that the house we wanted would be ours, and that if it didn't happen another good one would come down the pike soon. Compass has a real asset in Phil, and any further Texas deals we do will have him at their center if at all possible. He adds luster to the organization - thanks for connecting us with him." - Michael R. B.

★★★★★
"When the Builder's on-site agent told me "..that's the most knowledgeable Realtor I have dealt with in my twelve years with this Builder - you're lucky you found him!" - it's something we already knew! Your expertise and knowledge of the areas, schools, and negotiating skills to get us this house at $20,000 less than the builders \best deal\" was unbelievable! We love the community, and the schools are incredible! Thank you sooo much!! " " - Bo and Amanda H.

★★★★★
"I actually prayed about our move to Austin because we felt this was going to be a traumatic experience to uproot our 4 boys. I truly believe Phil was an answer to this prayer as he found us the perfect home, in the perfect neighborhood, for a good price, and the boys LOVE the schools!" - Paul and D.U.

★★★★★
"We had a great experience with our old realtor in another state, but Phil Hutson was better than anything we had even expected! From start to finish, we felt that we were priority #1 for him, even taking an entire weekend of his time to look at a couple dozen homes. Not only did Phil take us through the houses, but he gave constructive opinions on aspects of each house--not to scare us, but rather to clarify things that we didn't understand or didn't see. On top of everything, he was able to get us a better price on the house than we would have gone for, and was a pro at negotiating the specifics. We will definitely recommend Phil to anyone and everyone looking for a realtor in the Austin area." - Andrew K.

★★★★★
"Phil was an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and kids were a huge part of finding our lake house, and Phil was great with the whole family. We had a wonderful lunch, and by the end of the house shopping process, Phil felt like one of the family. He answered all of our questions to the fullest. We could not have been happier. We will definitely use Phil again if we ever take on another venture. We would also like to thank Compass for a smooth and fast transaction. They were extremely professional and great to work with." - Chip M. and family

★★★★★
"Being from back East we knew nothing about Austin and had no idea the type homes being built in Texas. Phil showed us several new home subdivisions and the different type homes of various builders, then not only explained the construction process, but as ours was being built, actually went on site on numerous occasions and did visual inspections with the construction superintendent! We were amazed!" - Frank and C. R.

About Phil
Experience. Expertise. Knowledge. Professionalism. Honesty. Integrity. Idle promises from some – guarantees from Phil. 

Phil began his career as an Austin Realtor in 1984, obtained his Broker license, and owned/operated his first real estate firm, Southwest Prime Investments, from 1986-1989, for acquisition/disposition of commercial properties/land for a local developer, composing CMA’s and BPO’s for numerous banks, mortgage, and PMI companies for one of the largest asset management companies in Austin for subsequent sale/disposition of these properties, and as the Lead Broker for Investors International – a consortium of wealthy investors - for property acquisitions. This tenure was followed by the successful opening of his residential firm, Showcase of Homes from 1989-2013. Then in 2013, with almost 30 years of Realtor experience, Phil decided to join Compass, an affiliate of Leading Real Estate Companies® of the World, as one of their senior Broker Associates. 

Having sold millions of dollars’ worth of property (both residential and commercial), and having received numerous award achievements during thirty-plus years of representing both Buyers and Sellers, these achievements were gained solely by adhering to these principles: …to treat you with the respect of a valued client making a very important decision, not just another sale for a commission. …to treat your real estate transaction as if it was my own - if I wouldn't "do the deal", I'll advise you not to. …to work for you in a Christian manner and attitude – "..the truth and nothing but the truth.." …to give you my full attention, and guide you to a wise decision based on solid information from over 42 years Realtor experience/expertise. …to be as competitive in dealing with other Buyer's or Seller's agents as I have been with the youth baseball teams I coached for over 25 years - you see - I don't like to lose! And I promise, you won't....! 

Past buyer/clients include U.S. Olympic athletes, professional athletes, movie stars, corporate presidents, and executives from some of Austin’s and the Nation’s most prestigious corporations, as well as first-time home owners! Past seller/client's properties range from small condos to expensive luxury homes in all areas of the Austin metro area! If you decide to buy or sell a home in the Austin metro area and require Realtor assistance, Phil would appreciate your consideration.
