2014 Was A Great Year For Georgetown TX Real Estate
As 2014 came to a close this week and The Russ Phillips Team gears up for 2015, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about our team’s 2014 highlights in Georgetown real estate, Central Texas real estate and in our broader community involvement. There are an awful lot to choose from, but I’ve narrowed it down to these 2014 Top 5 Moments at the Russ Phillips Team:
5. RPT Got Fit For Charity!
Inspired by a colleague with MS who is a fighter, Ashley and I raised over $6100 for Multiple Sclerosis research during the annual MS-150 Bike Ride from Houston to Austin. I had to shave my head….and my legs in order to beat Ashley in the fundraising. Thanks to all who contributed! Head shaving “make good on the promise” is available online at www.tinyurl.com/RussisBald.
4. Our team closed 66 deals this year.
That’s a lot of Georgetown homes for sale that are no longer on the market! It's also a family getting where they want to be every 5 ½ days! ...

The Russ Phillips Team Family
Family is important. And I have a lot of families. No, it's not likely what you're thinking. Of course I enjoy all the graces afforded me by the family Debbie and I have created, but then there is also my church family, and have you ever heard that old saying, "friends are the family you choose?" Well, I've chosen quite a beautiful family of friends for myself who I love and care about. Then there's my team (the Russ Phillips Team) and I like to think of them the same way I think about my family of friends. That's why a few months ago at one of our meetings, we decided it was about time we instituted something we like to call 'RPT Family Time.' At RPT Family Time we get together with our spouses and our kids and we, for lack of a better word, hang out. Yesterday, we got together at Southwestern University (you may remember from a recent blog how much I love that Georgetown can claim them as a member of the community) to cheer on the ladies basketball team! ...

Austin Home Buying Tips
I know we’ve mentioned it a lot lately – but the Russ Phillips Team had a great year in 2014! With a total of 68 homes for sale now off the market because of our work with our great clients, we very nearly made our goal of $30,000,000 in gross sales! If you’re counting along, that means our average home for sale price is pretty high, which leads many people to ask me if I’ll work with them in a lower price range. The simple answer is – YES! It’s true our team has an ‘average’ sales price much higher than, say, a first time home buyer would likely be in the market for, but it’s important to remember this number is just an average – we work with homes in the 100s all the way to the millions. In fact, the first time homebuyer is important to the Russ Phillips Team because, plainly put, they are the future of the housing market! There’s always going to be a lot of talk about how this new technology or that new merger is the ‘future’ of real estate, but we know bett. ...
