Our Team
Managing Principal
Phil Costa is the Managing Principal and Founder of Monopoly Group Real Estate (MGRE). Before launching MGRE, he served as Vice President at a commercial real estate brokerage firm, specializing in investment sales and tenant representation. Phil is passionate about real estate and dedicated to helping his clients achieve their goals. As a real estate investor himself, he understands firsthand the challenges and opportunities his clients face.
Phil grew up in New Jersey and attended the University of Maryland, where he was a two-time All-Academic ACC selection and captain of the football team. While at Maryland, he began a Master’s in Real Estate Development, which sparked a passion for real estate that continues today.
Phil went on to play four seasons in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, serving as the starting center for quarterback Tony Romo. Entering the league as an undrafted free agent, Phil’s journey required immense grit, work ethic, and determination to earn and keep his spot on the team—qualities he now applies to fiercely advocate for his real estate clients and help them achieve success.
After football, Phil earned his MBA from Columbia University. His wife, Stephanie, is a NICU nurse who has worked at top hospitals including Tampa General and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). In his free time, Phil enjoys being with his family—his wife and daughter, Camille—exploring the Florida beaches and staying active in the local community.
Phil also serves on the Board of Directors of AthLife, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping current and former athletes succeed academically and professionally after their playing careers.

Vice President
Tyler Maxwell is a Vice President at Monopoly Group Real Estate (MGRE), specializing in tenant and landlord representation for industrial properties. He brings a strong background in sales leadership across multiple industries and thrives on solving complex problems while building lasting relationships with clients from all walks of life. That passion—combined with a desire for a more dynamic, purpose-driven career—ultimately led him to real estate, where he found his true calling.
Originally from Long Island, NY, Tyler held a variety of hands-on jobs throughout high school and college, including mechanic, low-voltage electrician, and funeral home groundskeeper. While seemingly unrelated at the time, these roles gave him a practical understanding of how things work—experience that now proves invaluable when advising industrial clients.
Outside of work, Tyler is an avid wakeboarder and a regular at the local cable park. He stays active in his community through a local run club and prioritizes travel and fitness as ways to stay grounded and inspired. Whether he’s training, exploring new places, or catching early morning sets, Tyler is always pushing himself to grow—personally and professionally.
