Phil Shinners has worked with non-profit organizations in Orange County for nearly two decades.

His passion and enthusiasm for helping others come from his desire to care for, encourage and support people, which is what led him into the real estate industry. He knew he would be able to apply his knowledge and expertise while assisting people through their big life moments, like buying or selling a home.

As a lifelong resident, Phil loves Orange County living. His devotion to helping others paired with his knowledge of coastal real estate allows him to provide an incredible service to his clientele along with exceptional resources. To Phil, homes are much more than just houses. They are the space where we learn, laugh, rest, connect with others and watch your family grow. It brings him great joy to help someone find the perfect home that fits their specific needs so they can create lasting memories they will be able to cherish forever.

Although Phil lives and specializes in San Clemente, because he has lived in Orange County his entire life, his incredible local knowledge of neighborhoods along the Orange County coast is what sets him apart from the rest. “Orange County offers an incredible lifestyle to people with fun things to do, beautiful places to see, diverse communities, and of course the amazing weather. When you buy a home in Orange County you aren’t just buying the house, you are buying the lifestyle.” His integrity and people-first perspective create a seamless process for his clients. He focuses on putting his client’s needs at the forefront, so they feel at ease knowing they are taken care of throughout the entire transaction.

When Phil isn’t working, you will find him giving back to his community, enjoying the beach, running marathons with his 13-year-old daughter, riding motorcycles with his family, and golfing. As an agent with Surterre Properties®, a top luxury residential real estate brokerage known for its teamwork and integrity, Phil provides high-caliber customer service and assistance for every client he works with. Surterre is one of the only brokerages with an in-house ad agency with a team of 15 experts delivering innovative marketing to its agents and clients not only in Orange County, but all over the world.
