For over a quarter century, Phil Herman has been a leader in this region's real estate markets.
For many residents of the Tri-Metro Area of Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus, Phil Herman is known as the real estate AUTHORITY. For Phil, the long and winding road to becoming one of Southwest/Central Ohio's best-known and successful businesspeople has taught him volumes. Some of those lessons were, indeed, hard and painful, but they were always approached with an upbeat attitude and a "success in not a destination, it's a never-ending journey" mindset. With this perspective on life, Phil has strived to be the best father to his son, Taylor, and the most effective resource to his clients who depend on him for one of life's most important investments.
Phil--one of six children born into a working-class family--had to travel a long and twisting path to achieve the national success he's achieved in the real estate industry. He learned early on that anything worth attaining was worth working hard to achieve. In high school he struggled to make the wrestling team. Phil was unhappy; he expected more from himself, he wanted to contribute more to the team. But the other wrestlers seemed much faster and stronger. He took a job bagging groceries after school to earn tuition to a top wrestling clinic. With hard work and determination, it wasn't long before he was in the top of his field, even winning 32 consecutive matches his senior year.
This boyhood story provides a keen insight into what makes Phil tick. With high expectations for himself, he sets his sights on a goal and works hard at doing whatever it takes to achieve it. It is a matter of constantly striving for his personal best in everything he does. It is Phil's nature to want to succeed. It is sheer determination and discipline that propel him there.
Prior to becoming one of the Nation's Top real estate professionals, Phil served in the military and then attended Ohio University, where he started cultivating his passion for business. On the recommendation and advice of a mentor, Phil took a temporary position in a local real estate firm. However, his quick aptitude and enthusiastic drive quickly pushed him to the top. He had found a career where he was a natural: his personable nature, his disciplined work ethic, and his sharp business sense earned him a place as a frontrunner in his field. What started as a temporary position turned into a fulfilling career.
