Ken Phipps

Ken is a lifelong resident of the Southern Maryland region, with the exception of a five-year period where he lived in Northern Maryland and Ontario, Canada, so Ken knows the area very well. He has experienced this area’s growth from its very rural area into the metropolitan region it is today. Prior to entering the world of real estate, Ken had an in-depth background in residential housing from working in the family-owned building contractor business. After college, he entered the field of international data and telecommunications in positions of project management, sales engineering, and director-level management.

In 2001, Ken decided to combine his residential housing and corporate experience and leave behind the relocations and travel demands of the corporate world to spend more time with the family and pursue his long-time interest in real estate. In his first year in the business, Ken was awarded the Southern Maryland Rookie of the Year award due to his achievements. After that first year in the industry, Ken was selected to speak on several Rising Superstar Panels for Washington, D.C. area Realtors as his growth continued. Ken pushed his education beyond the basic real estate agent in the industry by quickly earning the Graduate of the REALTOR® Institute (GRI), the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), the Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR) as well as the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designations. CRS designees are recognized for their ongoing professional accomplishments in experience, business conduct, continued education and sales production. Fewer than four percent of REALTORS® nationwide have been awarded this designation.
