“I was introduced to Phil Shaben by my son and daughter-in-law after spending nearly four years searching for the right home. From our first interaction, it was clear that Phil wasn’t just a skilled realtor, he was someone who truly cared about finding the perfect fit for us. Phil found us the ideal home in California, even though we currently live in Michigan. But what truly sets him apart is how far above and beyond he goes for his clients. His support didn’t stop at closing, Phil has continued to assist us weeks after the sale, helping with local details and logistics that would have been extremely difficult for us to manage from out of state. Phil is incredibly intelligent, responsive, and professional. His work ethic is exceptional, and his communication is consistently prompt and thoughtful. On top of that, his buying and financial strategies resulted in a great value for us. We truly feel we made a smart investment thanks to his insight and guidance. It’s rare to find someone so committed, capable, and genuinely invested in his clients’ happiness and peace of mind. If you're looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor who will be with you every step of the way (and beyond), I wholeheartedly recommend Phil Shaben.”

“Phil is the absolute best! As a first-time homebuyer I was nervous about the process, but Phil made everything seamless. His knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to navigate every step gave me complete confidence. He knew exactly what to look for at each showing and how to strategically engage with other realtors to ensure I got the best deal possible. I trusted Phil and his process and thanks to that, I landed my absolute dream home! He even taught me so much that I felt comfortable going to showings on my own. Even after closing, he continues to check in, which shows how much he truly cares. I’m grateful to have had Phil as my realtor—and now, as a friend!" - Owen

“Phil did a great job helping me sell my mother’s property. It had been many years since I was involved in a real estate transaction and Phil was so helpful in guiding me through the entire process. He was very professional, thorough and always responded to communication in a timely manner. He listened carefully to what my needs were with the sale and always provided additional information that was helpful as part of the decision making process. The property was a “fixer” and Phil’s creative thinking helped potential buyers see the many ways that improvements were possible. He found the perfect buyer, got the best price, and closed the deal quickly and efficiently. Phil’s knowledge, honesty and relaxed manner allowed me to have complete confidence that I was working with an agent that had my best interest in mind. I highly recommend Phil and look forward to working with him again." - Suzanne, happy client

“You are lucky if you can have Phil on your side! We spent the summer of 2023 working with Phil to find our house. We met him at an open house and he was very forthcoming and worked really hard to make us his clients. From dealing with our landlord to talking with banks for loans, preparing us for the purchase process, showing us many, many houses and making several offers. Phil was with us all the time, any time. Ultimately, he helped us find our house, got a good deal and closed the transaction efficiently. He helped with contractors and anything else we needed to get settled. It was a great experience.
The most valuable thing in working with Phil was to have someone on your side that makes you feel you are their only client. He works very hard for you and shares honest advice. Also, he is a great guy to spend time with - our whole family enjoyed seeing him a lot." - Anton & Carina

"Review for Phil, Our Amazing Realtor
Phil and his team are phenomenal. In an incredibly competitive market, they helped us secure our dream home. From the first showing to the final bid, Phil's persistence and strategic thinking were evident. His team was equally outstanding during our short 14-day closing period. Phil's dedication and expertise were crucial in winning our bid, even against a cash offer with enticing terms. His creative and out-of-the-box approach truly made a difference. We're so grateful for Phil's hard work and commitment. If you're looking to buy a home, Phil is the realtor you need!" - Anne-Marie & Andreas
