Contact Philip
I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina where I began at an early age of visiting the mountains of Western North Carolina as our family vacation spot. My parents had a small cottage we would go to and it was always our families happy place. After graduating from Clemson University, I bought my own cottage on the same mountain I grew up coming to as a child.

The mountains called to me, and now, I love living there. My partner, Drew, and I fixed up the old cottage that I bought and we made it a full time home. The Cashiers /Highlands NC area, (called "The Plateau,") is truly a special place. Not only because if its unique high elevation, giving us cool southern Summers, but also the wonderful people who live here and have come to love the magic of the mountains. I often say, "people come to these mountains for the weather, but it is the people you will fall in love with!"

I have been a real estate agent for over 22 years and I absolutely love helping clients find the right home for them. Sometimes you are not quite sure what you want and I like to show you a variety of properties. Sometimes it is just driving around the different areas that sparks something and makes that area right for you. The Plateau has so many outdoor activities, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, climbing, and my favorite, time on the lake. With so many national forest in the area, we are not short on things to do here. Not to mention the food scene and antique shopping on the Plateau is amazing too!

I am part owner of my firm and when you hire me, you hire a team to work for you. Whether you are buying or selling, you have a team of experts working on your behalf. Our team knows the area and all the in's and out's of mountain real estate. Our goal is to go above and beyond our client's expectations in selling their home or buying a home.

Currently, my partner and I are working on starting a "Safe Space" group for LGBTQ youth in our area of the mountains. A portion of my commission from this website will go to that effort. Thank you for reading this introduction and I hope you will begin your search for something special in the mountains of Cashiers and Highlands NC.
