Testimonials
There are many things I can say about the high-quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves.
So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.
"We thought, 'Are we ever going to sell this house?' Cy said, 'Just be patient and it will happen.' Well, it happened in record time. Cy has so many contacts and in this business, it means everything. His work ethis ic stellar. Thank you, Cy, for putting us in the place we call HOME!"

--Logan and Erica Mutchler, Des Moines
"Cy did a wonderful job selling my home. He is very professional and always has your best interests in mind. I would recommend Cy to anybody trying to sell or buy a home!"

"Cy is a great realtor. When my husband and I were looking for our first home here in West Des Moines, Cy helped us find our townhome. A few years later when we decided to sell, Cy helped us sell it in just 3 weeks. He was great to work with and he took wonderful pictures that showcased our home beautifully. After we sold our home, Cy helped us find that dream home that we were looking for. Whenever our friends and family want to sell or buy their homes we always recommend them to Cy. He is great and really knows his business. We won’t use any other realtor in the Des Moines area."
--Ron and Amy Lilly, West Des Moines
"Cy, Thank you for everything you did for me in getting my house, especially the gift card and letting me use your ladder. You helped me get a great deal and went above and beyond. You are definitely a class act. If I come across someone who wants to buy or sell, I know where to send them. Thanks again!"
-- Aaron Henrichs, Urbandale
"Cy Phillips was able to sell my townhouse in a very tough market. He was enthusiastic, communicated well, and worked very hard to move my home. I'd gladly do business with Cy again."
-- Dave Grzeskowiak, Ankeny
"We could not have been any more pleased with our experience of listing our house with Cy. From the beginning Cy was extremely professional, while at the same time very personal. After meeting with him the first time, we knew this was a guy who could get things done and get them done right. Cy was more accessible than we could ever have imagined. There were no "business hours" because no matter what time of day we called, Cy would be more than willing to talk with us. We always had the feeling that Cy was constantly working hard for us. And it turned out our initial instinct was correct, because we sold our home in 15 days! You won't be disappointed working with Cy and his team! Thanks again for everything!"
--Ryan and Andrea Davis, Norwalk
"Cy and his team were very helpful from beginning to end. They helped us to stage our homes, marketed them effectively and were prompt and efficient when a buyer was found. They answer phone calls and emails immediately and are completely professional!"
--Steve and Maryann Sinkler, Clive
"Cy was very helpful with marketing our home and brought in a home stager to give suggestions in making our home even better. We believe these suggestions helped us get an offer in two weeks of listing, plus we loved the "new look" of our house!"
--Kirk and Britta Dimler, Des Moines
"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 for ourselves."
--Matthew and Rachel Pierce, Urbandale
"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
“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 were extremely happy with our buying experience with Cy Phillips. He went the extra mile to make sure we found the perfect first home."
--Jon and Natalie Dreckman, Waukee
"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
