For 32 years, Laurie Phillips has been the most respected name in real estate in Philadelphia. Not only is she highly regarded among home buyers, but she is also the go-to agent for national architects and developers coming to Philadelphia. Her background in design and the fine arts allow her to help redefine how people use space, revolutionizing the industry as a whole. "Phillips always lets her opinion be known whether it's about quality, good sense of space, or the importance of light," says Wesley Wei, principal of Wesley Wei Architects. "She knows exactly what's going on."
