The most rewarding part of my job is that my wife and I now count many of my clients as great friends.
What I do to get away from work: I love to take our puppies for a long walk around the neighborhood. If it's not too cold, my wife might even come.
Words to live by: Good enough never is.
Best business book I've read lately: "The Go-Giver" by Bob Burg and John David Mann.
The best place in central Iowa to entertain clients or colleagues: Latin King restaurant.
One thing I would change about the Des Moines area: Sub-zero temperatures.
What Iowa can do to attract more people like me: Continue the growth initiatives that have made this city great, attract best-in-class employers and provide excellent live-work-play amenities throughout the city and state.

Testimonials
"We spent several weeks researching the Des Moines area and sent Cy a list of homes we wanted to see. After spending several hours with our choices, and not being happy with what we saw, Cy took us to see a house that he believed fit what we were looking for. We literally could not have picked a better home ourselves." ~ Matthew & Rachel Pierce
"We were extremely happy with Cy Phillips with our buying experience, he went the extra mile to make sure we found the perfect first home." ~Jon and Natalie Dreckman
Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity "Cy Phillips is a rare find among those in the realty profession. A true gentleman, Cy understands the stresses and emotions of purchasing a home, and was always respectful of our needs. He had an unbiased ear and kept our best interests in mind, never following his own personal agendas. His extensive knowledge of the Des Moines Metro Area lead me and my wife to our perfect home. We are grateful for his patience, schedule flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile for us. I am confident that anyone looking to buy or sell a home would be impressed with Cy's level of commitment and service." Brian O'Leary, Des Moines
"We've never met a real estate agent like Cy Phillips. Aside from being friendly, outgoing, sensitive and genuine, he works hard and he works smart to help his clients buy the right home and sell their houses at the best price/terms. We know no other agent who is more progressive, more on top of trends and tools, and better qualified to represent our buying and selling needs." Jason and Heather Starr, Adel
Five Stars all the way!! I am a first time home buyer and new to the whole process. Cy was very approachable, explained everything to me, and very personable. He was readily available to show houses and mapped out an approach each time so we hit each home on my list in a timely manner. I never felt pressured to hurry up and pick a house out, and I knew he would stick with me until I found the right one, and he was willing to show me the house three times before I felt comfortable making an offer. At the time of the offer, Cy was able to discuss options-and I felt that my offer was a bit aggressive-I asked for a lot, and after the home inspection, by Nick Mescher-who Cy recommended, I got everything I asked for in my offer-minus one thing, but again, my offer was aggressive. I would recommend Cy to anyone. It was obvious that when he was showing me homes, he was dedicated to my time and didn't take other calls, unless absolutely necessary. He was flexible with his time, worked early to later hours if needed and met me wherever I was at the time to sign papers--even the soccer fields since I coach. If you are looking to sell or buy-call Cy! Kimber Walter, West Des Moines
"Cy sold my home in a reasonable amount of time in a down market. He was a pleasure to work with: accessible, helpful, willing to do whatever it took to get the deal done, following through to make sure everyone was satisfied and doig what he said he would do every turn. When I buy or sell my next home, or when when I know someone who needs a real estate professional, I'll go to Cy!" Laura Wright, West Des Moines
