What we do and why it matters

With more than 30 years of experience in the automotive industry, our team is here to serve you.

Professional, ethical services

After selling her own dealership in 1989, Nancy realized that there was an immediate need for professional, ethical brokerage and valuation services in the automotive industry – thus Nancy Phillips Associates was born.


Nearly every dealership we list is sold

Today, more than 30 years later, Nancy Phillips Associates facilitates the sale of dealerships throughout the U.S. from our stunning office in the historic district of downtown Exeter, New Hampshire.  Averaging a dealership transaction nearly every month and dozens of dealership evaluations annually, Nancy Phillips Associates holds an esteemed position among the team’s industry peers. In addition to representing both Sellers and Buyers, Nancy Phillips is widely published in automotive trade magazines and newsletters.

Doing what is most important for you

As our industry evolves we change with it, maneuvering our clients through what is most appropriate for their current circumstances.  From outright sales and acquisitions, to partnerships, franchise re-alignment, and the sale of dealership real estate – we do it!
