Jennifer Ellen-Ellis

Jennifer Ellen-Ellis is a graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in Speech Communication and a minor in Marketing.  She worked in the hospitality industry as a manager for 10 years, and while buying her own investment properties, she realized that her passion was in real estate.  After not being properly represented by her real estate agent, she decided to get her real estate license.  “My goal is to help inform buyers and sellers with all the information they need to make the right decision……buying and selling real estate is a big decision, and I want to help guide my buyers and sellers in the right direction.”  She has been in the real estate business for 10 years and obtained her Broker’s license after just a few years in the business. She also holds an e-pro certificate which is a certification of her knowledge of web based marketing and services.

Jennifer founded her own real estate brokerage firm in South Florida and was a multi-million dollar producer before moving to Saint Augustine with her family; that includes a three year old little boy named Connor and two dogs named Sammie and King.  Once settled in St. Augustine, she joined forces with Marcus Wally at New World Realty.  Jennifer has the experience and knowledge to help a first time buyer or guide a savvy investor.   She has negotiated numerous short sales on behalf of the seller and has helped many buyers close bank owned and short sale properties.  You will find working with Jennifer puts your mind at ease.  Jennifer is a member of the Saint John’s County Board of Realtors, Florida Board of Realtors and The National Association of Realtors.  She enjoys golfing, boating and spending time with her family.

Phil Orrill

Certified International Property Specialist(CIPS)

Phil Orrill is a Broker Associate with New World Realty & Property Management. He was born and raised in England before moving to St. Augustine many years ago. He still has that quaint British accent! He speaks German and can sign for the deaf (American Sign Language). He is Internationally designated as a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) and Transnational Referral Certification (TRC) and is also very familiar with 1031 Exchange programs.

Phil is an experienced Real Estate professional who understands what buyers and sellers want and delivers on those requirements. He fosters a “partnership” relationship with his customers rather than an “agent-customer” approach. This means his door is always open and phone always “on”. He puts himself in his customers shoes and ask what would they expect from their agent? This visualization helps deliver satisfaction to buyers or sellers. Buyers and sellers want to know, “Can I trust you? Are you committed to excellence? Do you care about me?” Phil’s answer is, Yes, Yes and Yes!” He values the meaning of trust and applies it to all his real estate actions. It is an old-fashioned moral value buyers and sellers quickly appreciate.

Phil tries to make himself available at all times for his clients and to keep them regularly informed on the status of their impending home sale or purchase. One-time sale or purchase is not his aim. He wants to be the agent for all future purchases and sales that his clients are involved in. This goal means that Phil does everything in his power to ensure clients are shielded from the stress of buying or selling.
