At Bruce Phillips, REALTORS we provide real estate services to customers and clients from all walks of life.

For over 60 years we have been an independent office without franchise ties. We pride ourselves in providing professional service to all who seek to buy or sell their property. Known in our community as an office with integrity, market knowledge and service we specialize in residential homes but have sold smaller commercial properties and investment units.

Offering a personal touch for those who prefer it or techno relationships, we can serve your real estate needs in any manner.

While serving the real estate needs of the community, we have served our REALTOR profession in numerous ways. Giving back to both by serving on boards of directors, civic mayoral appointed commissions and leading our professional trade organization help us understand the community that has been rewarding to us.

As we continue looking forward to many more years serving the Greater Battle Creek Area and outlying communities we would ask you the consumer to give us a try.

Our company began property management services in the year 2000. At that time, we managed four Condominium Associations, one, seven-unit apartment building and a few single family rentals for home owners.

In 2010, we scaled back to managing just one condominium association with over 70 units. Our responsibilities are to assist the Board of Directors to enforce rules they have, collect home owner association fees, pay their incurred bills, and seek and present bids for services being provided by the association.

We pride ourselves for the "hands on" approach to condominium management.

As a bonded company, we are charged with keeping accurate financial records, working with the Board to maintain adequate reserve funds for maintenance and replacement of aging components is primary in our approach to management.

Due to our staffing size, we no longer serve apartment complexes or single family units.

We invite other home owner condominium associations to talk with us about or services.
