From Boxboy to Soccer Dad to Leading Businessman,
This Miami Valley Native Son’s Success Story Is Ongoing.

To truly know Phil Herman, you have to understand what makes him tick. Consider this example from his past: Phil tries out for the high school wrestling team but doesn’t make the cut. Devastated, he spends the summer bagging groceries, scrimping and saving the tuition to attend a renowned wrestling clinic in the Midwest. All summer long he works. And trains.

Cut to the following school year. Phil not only makes the wrestling team, but wins 32 consecutive matches! That, in a nutshell, is the essence of Phil Herman. What will it take to get him to the top of his game? Phil will find it—and do it. From the schoolyard to the business arena, Phil’s driven personality is formidable—and awesome to watch.

Cut to present day Miami Valley. In another chapter of Phil’s ongoing success story, this all-around nice guy, family man, soccer dad, and Dayton’s leading Realtor® for 18 years was recently singled out as one of America top 100 Realtors® by Realtor® Magazine. According to the National Association of Realtors,® which published the article “Top 100 Salespeople,” the level of service and the accomplishments Phil has achieved in his field represent the best of the best in the real estate industry.

Phil’s story is an All American Success Story, that is both inspiring and motivating. Phil says the honor of being acknowledged by his industry is nice, but his real pride comes from helping families with one of their most important investments—that and watching his son, Taylor from sidelines of the local soccer fields.

In the Realtor® Magazine article, “Top 100 Salespeople,” Phil Herman was ranked #29 in the nation, based on a combination of transaction sides and total dollar volume. He ranks 18th in number of transaction sides (homes bought or sold through Phil.) Read about the science behind this stellar service.

But local soccer fields are probably the only place you’ll ever see Phil on the sidelines. This devoted family man, and driven businessman hasn’t attained the success he’s enjoyed by approaching life as a spectator sport. Phil is a born competitor—as many other agents in the Miami Valley will attest.

Phil has worked hard to enjoy his steady rise in the world of Greater Miami Valley real estate. As a “high profile” agent in the local industry, Phil receives the gamut of reaction from fellow agents—everything from admiration to jealousy. Phil actually enjoys sharing his knowledge with other agents, primarily the agents in his office, RE/MAX Real Estate Specialists. However, Phil doesn’t dwell on what other agents might think, he prefers to keep his focus on providing the very best in customer service.

For Phil, the best thing about his successful rise and growth as a real estate professional is that it gives him the resources to provide a level of service other agents simply cannot provide. And for Phil, that’s the name of the game, the real moral to the story.
