OUTSTANDING! THE BEST AGENT IN SYDNEY!David Murphy certainly lived up to his reputation - a reputation for those in 'in the know' that is. People who know David or have worked with him before won't ever go anywhere else - and for good reason too.David is trustworthy, honest, up-front, hard-working, knowledgeable and experienced. There's no game playing with David, there's no pressure to fold and accept the first offer to make his life easier; he tells you how it is and then provides the pros and cons for every strategic move forward. He is agile and flexible, clear and communicative and respects your goals and situation.I would heartily recommend David to anyone who wants to work with a straight up, honest, trustworthy, no-nonsense, strategic expert in his field. And he's also a nice guy too! Thanks so much David!
Testimonials from Sellers
Simply the best agent on the lower north shore.We spoke to all the large agencies when we were looking to sell and we went with David because he was the only agent that listened to our objectives and then clearly laid out all the options for running a sales process to meet our objectives (all the other agents simply wanted to make a quick sale by taking us straight to auction).As part of the selection process I also spoke to many of his referees and was very impressed by the feedback, in particular that David was a strong negotiator and would always act in our best interests. As the principal of his own business we also felt that he would give us more attention than the larger agencies and we were proven correct.David designed and ran a sale process which achieved a price well above our price expectations and I would highly recommend David to any potential sellers without
Exceptional agent!
I can't recommend Lucy and her team highly enough. They were wonderful to work with and achieved an amazing result within 3 weeks. Their personal yet professional approach to the whole sales approach was impressive. It was a pleasure to deal with a real estate agency that understands the needs of its clients and delivers an exceptional standard of service.
David Murphy Real Estate stands head and shoulders above the competition.We took the option to work with David and his team in an area that was considered outside their local patch and I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail.
Our property was a Company title and these can have a few quirks with purchasers not quite understanding the true value of a company title, the team at David Murphy covered all the bases in this regard and certainly had an extremely good knowledge of the market. We dealt with the whole team and our lead agent was Lucy White. Lucy is by far and away one of the best and most trustworthy agents going around. Being in a sales role myself I understand the qualities of a good salesperson and Lucy personifies what David Murphy Real Estate is all about.
Do yourself a favour and call these guys before you make any decision on who you trust with your sale….
We appointed Lucy White and David Murphy Real Estate after a very thorough review of agents in the area. We’d initially had a bit of a bad experience with another agent that could have proved very costly had we gone with them– we were in a rush and a bit naïve.
However it worked out because after that we really did our homework, reviewing six agents before appointing Lucy and David Murphy. Lucy has had a lot of experience in selling properties on the Lower North Shore and she was very accurate in her market appraisal. As the market was just on the turn we went with a private treaty sale – which, in our case proved to be exactly the right approach.
Lucy then swung her team into action and every one of them was very professional. We got great images of the property, an outstanding stylist, a good handyman to fix up some small household jobs, great copywriting on the ads and the support of the agency staff who were knowledgeable and efficient. During the sales period Lucy kept us well informed. We attracted a good number of serious buyers and she was impressive in the way she connected and followed up with them. Always ethical in her approach, not pushy or aggressive, but a terrier nevertheless.
In a turning market, you really see the skill of a good agent – and the result was wonderful: the highest price yet paid for a unit in the building. Thank you Lucy and team – we would happily recommend you to any prospective seller.
This is the second time we have dealt with Lucy White. She helped us buy our first property and we were very unprepared when it came to the purchase, but Lucy guided us through it. When we got stressed, she stayed calm, answered all our many questions day and night and we could not have coped without her.
When it came time to sell, we were always going to use Lucy, she has an honesty about her that you don't normally get with real estate agents. She is clear and direct and offers constant advice. We hope to work with her again very soon.
I could not be happier with the result achieved by David Murphy on the recent sale of my apartment and, importantly, the way in which he handled the whole process.
Right from the outset, David was transparent in his assessment of my property and the market and what might eventuate as the sale campaign proceeded. David’s experience, professionalism and integrity were evident throughout and I was confident in having entrusted the sale of my property to him.
He and Joann communicated directly and clearly each step of the way, were highly supportive and were clearly committed to securing the best result for me. It was an absolute pleasure working with David and Joann and I would not hesitate to do so again.
I entrusted the sale of my Prince Street property with David Murphy Real Estate for a number of reasons that were really important to me. He has a great knowledge of the market , the team are very professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving them in charge of my property during open house inspections.
The level of communication from David and Joann during the campaign was outstanding, they kept me informed every step of the way. They were very upfront, honest and open and that is what you need in an agent.
Successful, painless sale!
Delivering a quick result,certainly took us by surprise. To be honest we have wondered back and forth as to the contributing factors. Were we too hasty, was the purchaser in a hurry? Whatever the reasons, we were satisfied with the result, we faced little disruption and selling meant we were able to progress with our plans.
All considered David and his team were totally professional, very easy to deal with and delivered a result that was acceptable in a short time frame. David is committed, devoted and has the energy to make things happen in his area of expertise. A strong sense of team work is evident and aligned to the wishes and expectations of clients.
I was very happy with the way in which David and his team handled the sale of my property. They were open and straight-up with the sale process, took our personal requirements into consideration, and made the whole process very smooth and efficient for our family.
Would recommend David.
Thank you very much to David and Joann for going above and beyond to achieve a great result in the recent sale of our property in Balmoral.
David's sales strategy for our property was well informed and considered which gave us great confidence and has ultimately now delivered a great result. From our experience David has some key strengths that we really appreciated and are sure will continue to see him succeed - a highly personalised approach, exceptional communication skills, in depth market knowledge and a drive and commitment to achieving the best outcome for his vendor.
David Murphy is an agent who you can trust - yes, I said trust. He is an incredibly down to earth, honest and earnest person - probably not overly common traits in the world of real estate, but they should be.
They say that selling your family home is one of the most stressful and difficult things to do in your life and I entered into this process with great anxiety. David simplified everything, provided amazing advice and discussed the pros and cons with every decision made. His collaborative approach paired with outstanding communication skills is second to none. He is also able to employ incredible staff, namely Joann who basically could not have done more or worked harder - but always with the biggest smile.
Oh, I nearly forgot to mention that our house sold just over a week of going to market and for a record price. I can't thank David and Joann enough and if you are looking for a new and more relatable approach to real estate please give them a call.
