History
For over 85 years, the Phillips name has been a fixture in the Washington DC real estate community. A pioneer in the field, Frank S. Phillips built a horizontally integrated commercial real estate enterprise encompassing the entire real estate cycle. Decades later, we transformed our business to focus exclusively on commercial real estate finance. Today, we are still proudly privately-owned and operate in the spirit of a family-run business that values personal relationships built on trust.

Approach
PRECISION ANALYSIS
We invest significant time on the front end of every transaction to provide accurate and reliable financial analysis and precise valuations so we are able to engineer and execute quality deals for our clients.
EXPERT STRATEGY
We structure capital stacks that leverage debt and equity to maximize the value of client assets. Our in-depth knowledge of and reach into the broad marketplace of capital sources allows us to wed quality borrowers with quality lenders and investors.
TIRELESS EXECUTION
This business is personal. So we provide un-matched service from inception to closing. Each deal has a dedicated team – a principal, underwriter, and an analyst – fully engaged every step of the way, anticipating potential needs and trouble-shooting solutions
