About Phillip Caruso

A second-generation agent, Phillip grew up immersed in the world of real estate, and together with his partner and father, Michael, ran two Orange County offices for a prominent national firm all while successfully growing the Caruso Group. Today they are aligning their vision, integrity, design, and development expertise with Arbor Real Estate. Along with representing buyers and sellers, Phillip’s comprehensive market knowledge derives from years of working with investors to restore and build properties along the coast. “You must intrinsically understand land value, construction, architecture, design trends, and the complex nature or history of every neighborhood.”

Phillip often represents developers and clients in the purchase or sale of a home, advising on design and build from inception to completion. At any level, all his clients benefit from an extensive list of renowned professionals in the design and development industry. Although experts in the luxury segment, Phillip and the Caruso Group service a multitude of price categories from first time home buyers to the most seasoned investors. He firmly believes in long term relationships, hyper-local community knowledge, and a white-glove service experience.

A local of Newport Beach, Phillip is passionate about sustainability, giving back to the community and supporting local schools. Phillip enjoys an active coastal lifestyle, making the most of the local surf spots, scenic golf courses, outdoor concerts, and the area’s diverse food scene. When he’s not serving his clients or designing a project, he cherishes time with his wife, their three children, and their labradoodle.
