We really appreciate Mr. Winburn and all he did to help us buy our new house in Huntsville. Before finding Mr. Winburn we had some bad experiences with other realtors and were worried that we wouldn’t find someone we could trust. Over several months Mr. Winburn helped us look for properties and to learn the local real estate market. He was patient and spent whatever time we needed to answer our questions and to find the right house. Mr. Winburn helped us negotiate a great deal and assisted us with setting up our financing and home inspections. He followed up with us after closing to make sure that important details were taken care of. Again, we are thankful and appreciative of what Mr. Winburn was able to do and continues to do for us.

When we accepted a new job in Huntsville at Raytheon, and started to search for homes for sale in Huntsville Alabama the relocation company assigned us a realtor . That realtor either didn't understand the local Huntsville real estate market or didn't want to invest the time to assist us in our move from Tucson. We found Philip online at the www.Huntsville-Homes website. Philip was just what we were looking for. He told us about areas of Huntsville to consider and started sending us properties that would meet our needs while staying in our price range. Since we didn't have much time, he previewed houses for us, sent additional photos and gave us his impression of the homes he viewed. When we made our house hunting trip we had narrowed our search down to just a few houses. Philip searched the Huntsville MLS and helped us determine what to offer for the house and negotiated what we feel was an exceptional purchase. He helped us set up home inspections and informed us about the risk of dangerous radon levels in Huntsville and specifically in the area where the home we picked to buy is located.
After the inspections Philip helped us negotiate to have several repair items corrected. We were pressed for time when we flew back into Huntsville for closing and Philip helped us have our utilities turned on and to get to closing. We were blessed to have found philip and plan on calling him we start to look for investment homes for sale in Huntsville once we get settled in.

I really can’t say enough good things about Rosenblum Realty and Philip Winburn. I was / am a first time home buyer and had zero experience with buying a home. Philip made me feel right at home, was extremely welcoming of any and all questions and was very knowledgeable of the whole process. From looking at properties to all that is entailed with getting a mortgage and the closing process his excellent advice made all these things so much easier for me and is greatly appreciated. Philip was always very nice and professional. I highly recommend him and Rosenblum Realty and will do so to any friends and family looking to buy a home.

Thank you for all your hard work in helping me find and purchase the perfect house here in Huntsville. I appreciate all the extra work you and Christina did to make sure the purchase went through and to protect my best interests. Moving to a new area is always difficult and a challenge but your help and going beyond what a realtor would normally do made the move much easier. I know that I got a great deal and through the home inspection that the house is safe and in good condition. (I had heard of radon but didn’t understand how important it was to have a radon inspection done.) I’m so happy that my sister and niece both recommended that I call you after you had helped them purchase their homes when they moved to Huntsville.

Philip’s notes; Several years ago AC’s niece and her husband contacted me from one of the smaller Japanese islands where they were working at an American School. The husband had one afternoon in Huntsville to search for a house to purchase before their move to Huntsville. After viewing dozens of houses we focused on one but were not able to negotiate a favorable price and terms. After the husband returned to Japan we started negotiation on another house. We negotiated the price and terms we wanted and started working, long distance to get to closing. We arranged and coordinated the home inspections and helped put together the funding for their purchase. The process was unusually difficult because of the time zone and language differences. Much of the buyer’s documentation was in Japanese and they had to travel by ferry and bus a full day to the U.S. Consulate to have documents notarized.A year after the niece and her husband purchased, AC’s sister contacted us through the niece’s recommendation to help them relocate to Huntsville.
Hi Phil,
Thanks again for all you have done for Sandi and I.
My wife and I were very fortunate to find a website link to Philip Winburn at Rosenblum Realty. After having difficulty finding a house to buy for our family in the preceding months, we were very happy to sit down and talk to Philip and allow him to make a stressful situation very pleasant. Philip is knowledgeable. He will guide you through the buying and selling process of your home. Philip also cares about not just selling your house, but making sure you understand what to expect how to get the best offer. If you are moving to Huntsville or just want to buy a house or are selling your current home, we would recommend Philip Winburn at Rosenblum Realty. You will be glad that you did, just like we are.
~ Tim and Sandi
Philips Notes: Tim and Sandi approached us several years ago after having had some bad experiences in trying to purchase a home. After several weeks of looking we were able to help them purchase a home that met their needs well at an exceptional price. Recently when they were ready to sell the house and move to another they contacted us. We made recommendations on preparing the house for sale and within 2 days of going on market we had our first offer and the house was sold within 15 days. Time and Sandi did an exceptional job of having the house ready to market and their efforts paid off in the quick sale at near our asking price
We wanted to let you know again how much we appreciated everything you did for us throughout the search for our first home. You were so upfront and honest the first time we met you and you continued to help us look out for the things that we wouldn't have even thought about. We were so overwhelmed by how you went above and beyond to find us a home that was move-in ready, in just the right location, and at the price of a lifetime. We were so nervous because of some of the horror stories we have heard and still hear from people who have used others in their process of buying a home, but with you we didn't have to worry. Even when there were a few bumps in the road you made sure everything turned out right in the end. We were truly blessed to have you as our realtor and we won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone who wants a great partner in their home buying experience.

Business Philosophy;
We credit our long-lived success in real estate as God’s blessing and a result of honest, caring business practice. A successful real estate practice is not a result of having a charismatic personality or a superior intellect. It is a result of understanding the basic principles of real estate practice and then refining and applying that understanding in an honest forthright manner.
Through experience and research we understand our local real estate market and the micro-markets of specific areas and neighborhoods. We understand local realtor protocol and how to work in alliance with the personalities of local realtors.
Our business philosophy is that the key to success is not in self-serving but in liberal giving. We often help people professionally without any prospect of earning a fee. As a result, we have earned a reputation as caring and committed professionals. It is common that we receive new business from someone who heard about us from someone we had helped.
We are always looking for ways to serve our clients more effectively and efficiently. We have tested and refined our marketing and research tools and ways to provide as much relevant and detailed data to our buyer clients as possible.
Rather than share our general opinion of a property or neighborhood with a buyer client, we provide detailed data that is relevant to the property and the clients needs.
Through our website we offer Automated Property Searches and free access to search the Huntsville AL MLS.
We don’t just say, this is a good neighborhood or a bad neighborhood. We provide clients data on schools and school trends, market value and market trends, demographics of the general area, commute times and location of shopping and places of worship. We can usually provide satellite images of the property and sometime interactive street level fly through images of a specific property or neighborhood.
Once we focus on a specific property, we research its listing history and search for any negative features in the area.
In a slow real estate market or in areas where supply outweighs demand, we have the flexibility of offering properties as lease-purchase and lease-option sales. We have successfully sold properties that had been on market for over a year and located in areas where properties were not selling at all.
Personal;
On a personal level I am married with one child at home. My wife Christina and I are active in our church. Christina earned her real estate license in 2006 and has been sucessful in both sales and in our property management division.
I grew up in a west Tennessee ranching and farming community and developed my work ethic and perseverance in that enviroment. While working a neighbors ranch I learned to ride and care for horses. I still enjoy riding and the company of horses
