Jay Phillips grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Lower Delaware spending his summer months living at the beach in West Ocean City on the water and the remainder of his time on the Farm. His father’s side of the family were farmers, owning a majority of the lands east of Berlin, Maryland, and several farms in Sussex County. The family also owned several large tracts of land and lodges on Assateague Island where he enjoyed spending time during my teen years. Most of Jay’s weekends at an early age were spent with his grandfather learning about land, soil types, drainage, topography, and the best uses of the land. In addition, the family owned and operated hotels in Ocean City ever since the area was first developed. Their last property, The Nassau Motel, was sold in 2004. He was fortunate enough to be enriched with a background of information on land, commercial properties, developments, construction, land uses, zoning, permitting, farming, acquisitions, easements, conservation programs, land and wildlife management, best land practices, and the enjoyment of being a landowner.
Jay’s mother and father were both involved in real estate as agents and investors. He took up real estate a few years after graduating from Salisbury University with a degree in international marketing and finance. He married his high school sweetheart and have enjoyed being a parent for the past 18 years. He enjoys fishing, hunting, horses, traveling, spending time with my wonderful family, and all that the great outdoors has to offer. Jay has traveled to almost every corner of the world and cannot imagine living anywhere else but here.
He has been selling land and farms on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Lower Shore of Delaware for 24+ years with over 50,000 acres sold, totaling over $500 Million in Sales. Most of his colleagues, appraisers, and clients refer to him as the “Land Man.”
Jay’s background, knowledge, education, and experiences combined with an excellent technologically advanced marketing staff establishes him as a leader in the Industry.
Considering the expertise and knowledge he has acquired; Jay really enjoys what he does to help others find their perfect tract of land or farm to build their dreams around or helping a landowner in the sale of their property.
It is Jay’s passion to pass along the knowledge that he has been blessed to receive. Helping others and enjoying his family and friends is his number one priority.
