East Greenwich, RI Family-run residential real estate firm Phipps Realty, Inc. has affiliated with Compass.

All members of the Phipps Team and associated licensees are now affiliated with Compass’ flagship Providence location.
The Phipps Team at Compass includes team leader Matt Phipps, associate broker Ron Phipps, and sales associates Susan Martins-Phipps, Sophia Karvunis and Jake Heffern. Christina Phipps serves as the team’s graphic & digital strategist and Aaron Fergola as the team’s counsel. As a group, their industry accolades include a six time County/Board Realtor of the Year, two time RIAR Realtor of the Year, a RIAR state president, a “30 under 30” designee and the 2011 president of the National Association of Realtors.
“This decision did not come lightly – affiliating with Compass, a technology-driven, industry leader with national scale, best positions our team and beloved clients for the next chapter of business in an evolving real estate landscape,” commented Ron Phipps. “We are grateful for the warm welcome from Robert Reffkin, founder/CEO, and the entire Compass Team.
