Phil DiPaolo
Originally from Roswell, I proudly call myself a native New Mexican, having spent my formative years in the enchanting town of Ruidoso. Together with my wife, Jill, a Ruidoso native, we’ve raised our three daughters in this vibrant community.
My journey began in 1980 when I joined my grandfather’s construction company, immersing myself in the intricacies of the trade. In 1988, armed with newfound expertise, I earned a contractor’s license and embarked on a 25-year journey running my own successful construction company. Transitioning in 2013, I exchanged my tool belt for a real estate license, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter that aligned seamlessly with our longstanding passion for buying and flipping houses throughout our 40-year marriage.
In addition to my real estate endeavors, I am proud to hold the Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS) designation from the National Association of Realtors, underscoring my commitment to excellence in the industry. I have actively contributed to the community by serving on various committees, and in 2023, I had the honor of assuming the role of President of the Ruidoso Lincoln County Board of Realtors, further solidifying my dedication to advancing the real estate landscape in our beloved region.
I see myself as an ambassador for the Ruidoso area, fervently believing in its allure as an exceptional place to both live and work. The region boasts a remarkable year-round climate, unparalleled natural beauty, and a community of warm and welcoming locals, making it an extraordinary haven that I am proud to represent.
