Testimonials from Sellers

David and Bindi, are an exceptional sales team.

They make all the work of getting your home ready for sale - easy and hassle free. The team of professionals they referred us (painters, tradespeople,Conveyance etc.) were all punctual, inexpensive and delivered a timely quality service.

They provided us realistic insight into what our property was worth, came up with a good sales plan and delivered on expectation. We received regular status updates from them in a informative, friendly and collegiate manner.

I have no hesitation in recommending them

Alex was fantastic through the whole sale process, guiding us through the marketing campaign and securing a great price for our home. His knowledge of the local area and market are second to none, we couldn't be happier and will definitely use Alex with our next sale. Thanks again!

Selling in the ‘time of Covid19’ presented a challenge to Alex Myers who was, at all times, professional, supportive and extremely committed to achieving the best result for my property. With David, Bindi and, especially Alex, I felt I was in the hands of an ethical and experienced team. Thank you all for making the selling process as stress free as possible.

Alex Myers has been easily one of the very BEST agents I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with!

My apartment went onto the market just days before COVID struck. Alex had worked so hard on this sale, opening the apartment whenever a prospective buyer was interested. He has kept me completely informed during the process and I feel we have built a strong working relationship. Without a doubt I would recommend Alex strongly to prospective buyers.

This is not the first time our family has used David, but it was my first experience with David and everything that I had heard about him was absolutley true. David is straight forward, realistic and hard working agent who is genuine character and strives to achieve the best result. He works for the vendor which is often rare in the real estate game once an agency agreement is signed. David persisted and work our property over to the very end and in very trying Covid times. Hen never stopped or gave up, or lost interest. They say bad times show the true character of a person and David demonstrated he is a true professional at his game is one of the very few real estate people I would be happy to say I like and could trust.

David & Bindi of David Murphy Real Estate have done a great job by selling my property during the global turmoil created by the coronavirus.

I am highly recommending this Realtor and his team - I liked their professional work, immediate responses and knowledge of selling. During the negotiation with the buyer David's practical wisdom was invaluable in taking more effective action with precision & clarity to reach the best price and settlement terms.

David, Bindi and the team were a pleasure to deal with at every stage of the sales cycle. David has such a handle on the market and uses this knowledge to plan the sales strategy. He kept us in the loop and we felt included in all the decisions made. He was positive and energetic and we cannot recommend David and his team more highly!

We had a great experience selling our place with David and Bindi - I really think they know the ins and outs of the Mosman market better than any other agency. Communication was flowing and was candid and transparent throughout the campaign. Their up front advice and advice as we got to the pointy end was spot on and led to a great result for us.

David and his team provided an excellent service, assisting us with the presentation of the property, organising painting and styling and negotiating a sale prior to auction.

This is my second experience with David, I purchased my property from him 8 years ago and found him to be honest, professional and straight talking. There was never going to be anyone else but David when it was time to move again. He is extremely knowledgeable and ethical in his dealings with all parties. His team are also a credit to him, they are equally professional, helpful and friendly. I can’t recommend them all highly enough, another great experience.

David and bindi were super efficient, made the place look great and got an unbelievable price. Couldn't do better.

From the logistics of getting my house ready to sell to the actual sale of my house both David and Bindi looked after me every step of the way. They are highly professional, discrete and excellent company. They are an incredible team and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

David and Bindi are a great collaborative team, have a thorough knowledge of Cremorne Point, ran a strong campaign and were always approachable and responsive. We appreciated their professional approach and were really happy with the outcome. With gratitude.

Very happy to recommend David and his staff. Made a stressful event much easier. Warm and professional team. Very happy with rhe result.

From the preparation for sale, through to the marketing and closing the sale {prior to auction} all handled in a most professional style. Many thanks to Bindi and David, I shall be singing your praises far and widr, kindest regards, Michael Biddle

In a word “Outstanding”

David and Bindy worked as a cohesive, well balanced, duo.

Their behind the scenes office support worked like a well oiled machine.

As experienced Vendors ,, Their management of our expectations was honest, unambiguous, decisive, thorough, comprehensive and responsive. They listened well and checked for understanding. Nothing was left to chance. They moved quickly, managed marketing, promotion and styling with ease, took all the stress off our property preparations, their support is outstanding and their behaviour impeccable.

We had previously used other agents, and interviewed the other realators in our area and The David Murphy team stood out (head and shoulders) above the rest,, for being clear, purposeful and outcome focused. They exceeded our expectations and did so with grace and ease.

We’ll be using their services in the future.

I purchased, rented and sold the same property through David. In all my dealings he was outstanding, professional, responsive and friendly

David and Bindi were great to work with. Outstanding communication during the Sale process and honest and reliable feedback... they had our best interests at heart. They also were conscious to reduced the selling stress as much as possible. Would definitely recommend them.

David and his team were wonderful through the whole process of selling. He was always very approachable, informative, understanding of circumstances and acted with integrity while working consistently to negotiate a great result. David will give you his honest advice and feedback and won’t pressure you into anything you don’t want to do. I would highly recommend working with David and his delightful team!

Originally chose another agent but when the agency agreement arrived it did not match my understanding of the negotiations. David specified everything and was flexible in negotiating the agreement. We followed his advice and everything happened as explained and as expected. I have sold a number of properties and have never had such a positive experience. I cannot think of any way to improve what happened. Anyone considering a real estate agent should have their solicitor examine the agreement before making a choice. I could not recommend David Murphy more highly.

David and Bindi were fantastic in the sale of my property in Mosman.

Bindi was a great help with organising the trades people to get my property up to a standard to achieve the price that I wanted.

David was exceptional in working with the purchasers to achieve the price.

What a great team at David Murphy Real Estate

Cheers Andrew

My wife and I first met David and Bindi when buying our home over 5 years ago. At this time I was hugely impressed by their professional and honest approach, therefore we didn’t hesitate to ask DMRE to help us with the sale of our home just recently.

David and Bindi set the highest standards of integrity, honesty and professionalism in the real estate industry. Their understanding of the current market is exceptional, which makes the sales campaign smooth and stress free.

DMRE stands head-and-shoulders above other Mosman agents.

David and Bindi recently prepared and marketed our house for sale while we were living overseas. The process was calm and efficient and we were kept well-informed. Despite the challenging market, stress levels remained under control as we knew we were in good hands. We really enjoy working with David - he has a fantastic understanding of the market, provides pragmatic, balanced advice and is a strategic negotiator. Along with all of that, he is genuine and has a great sense of humour. Thanks for your hard work David and Bindi.

Sometimes selling a house can be extremely stressful for a variety of reasons. David and Bindi kept things as calm and focused as possible. Their professionalism, depth of understanding of the market and outstanding people skills were always evident throughout the campaign. They are not only skilled real estate agents but they bring a great deal of humanity to their work. Absolutely Mosman’s finest agents!

David knows this market. This is the second time David has sold a property for me - and each time the experience was calm and very effective. He has a highly organised team of professionals working with him - they achieve amazing results in a very short time.

Everything about the campaign that David put together went accordingly to plan. We were ambitious with our personal valuation, but were confident that a buyer was out there who loved the property as much as we did. And David found them. He set milestones throughout the process and hit the target each and every time. My wife and I could not be happier with the result and with the service we received from David, Bindi and the team at DMRE. I have never dealt with another agency of such caliber. Bindi helped us prepare the property for sale and quite simply made it an enjoyable process. Something that would have taken us a week or so to get together Bindi ensured was done in a couple of days. And done to the highest standard possible. On the sale front, David is a man of great integrity, is easy to communicate with and intent on insuring that everybody involved is comfortable with where things are heading and confident that everything is being done to reach their goals. I simply couldn't recommend anyone else to look after your property sale - David is changing the game in real estate and he makes sure to bring you in off the bench to be there beside him.

Selling someone's family home under normal circumstances is stressful, however when its your bosses house its a whole other level. Nevertheless, Bindi calmly steered a tense competitive negotiation and ensured that all parties were dealt with fairly. The result was my home sold off market for a price that I was delighted with. Well done Bindi, you showed that you can be completely transparent and sell a property for top dollar.

Of the three agencies which were asked to provide a submission to sell a three bedroom unit at Mosman, being part of deceased estate, David and his team were an easy choice. We were very impressed with the way they handled every thing from removing all the fittings and furniture that the beneficiaries didn't want, to transforming a very tired unit to a very marketable property and we didn't have to outlay any cost up front. Davids strong understanding of the local market was evident from the outset with the price that was achieved being within the range he set out in his submission. David kept us informed after ever open day, via email as to all interested parties and was always available to discuss the marketing and his strategies. On the day of the Auction there were five registered bidders which was a great result in a challenging market with all parties being very pleased with the result achieved. Thanks David

David walks into the room and makes his pitch to be the one to sell our house. He come across as knowledgeable, strong, confident and committed. But is he almost too good to be true?

Over the next 6 weeks, we work with David and his team, often daily, as he sets about presenting the house and finding the right buyer for this seller. And David does all he’s promised, all we asked for. He communicates every step of the way, discussing approaches, providing recommendations and options, but still listening to our views and sensitivities. Bindi provides the ideal counterfoil, working with us to arrange all the services needed to show the house to its best potential.

We end up with a large crowd at the auction, with numerous serious bidders, resulting in a fabulous price, all during a subdued market.

I can thoroughly recommend David for your consideration.

Bindi and David were fantastic during the stressful process of selling my parents' house. The process started with David providing us with what turned out to be a very accurate sales estimate at our first meeting with him. Bindi then provided her support and invaluable time in getting the house ready for sale. Finally, both David, Bindi and the rest of the team were there to see the sale to its happy conclusion and my family are very happy with the result. Thanks for everything!

I am so glad we chose David Murphy to sell our property. He is refreshingly down to earth to earth and friendly. David and his team are highly experienced & professional operators. We felt very comfortable trusting David to guide us through the whole experience. David’s market knowledge is outstanding and proved to be spot on. I highly recommend David & his team at David Murphy Real Estate.

We purchased out property from David eight years ago and when we thought about selling to move to a new area for a sea change, we didn't hesitate but to contact David again, as a buyer 8 years ago he allowed for this to be a smooth process and that is what we wanted for whoever it was that wished to purchase our property. David met with us to discuss the terms and out expectations for the sale, we listed with David and his team, they kept us in the loop through out the campaign, we didn't have to think to much about it as knew it was in good hands. David may have a title as a salesman however he is more than that he a true man who is their to be fair to you and the buyer. We continue to recommend David to friends in the area and if we were to ever come back we would contact David to assist us with market knowledge.

You wont be disappointed, small local business means you receive one on one service and always are in touch with him.

As first time buyers and sellers in Sydney, we could not rate David and his team high enough. We had such a positive experience when we bought from them five years ago that when it came time to sell, we did not hesitate to go back to David and his team. He was very kind, considerate and understanding. Talked us through the whole process and was always on hand to answer any questions. His team are incredibly hard working and made selling our house so easy and stress free. We were in the midst of a move back to the UK and David and his team just made everything so easy. I would recommend David and his team highly. They know their stuff and are incredibly considerate of their clients. They are not the big outfits and give a personalized service. We have recommended David and his team to our friends too.

The combination of tighter lending practices at banks, a jittery Sydney property market, and the prospect of a Labour Government abolishing negative gearing on the local front, coupled with the China/US trade war, rising rates and falling bomd and equity markets globally, has made this the most difficult time to buy and sell real estate in over a decade.

With this as a backdrop, we decided to engage Dave and Bindi to sell our apartment in Mosman, Sydney. Comparable properties to establish a valuation were difficult to find, as our apartment was unique -which while great to live in, ultimately limits the pool of interested parties. Dave and Bindi discussed a range of price expectations and strategies in the context of the current state of the market both broadley and specifically in our area.

Dave and Bindi’s strategy was to market the apartment and take offers rather than go to auction. My wife and I were comfortable with this, as we were of the opinion that an auction would not generate the optimal outcome, given what we knew would be a small pool of ibuyers the property would suit.

Ultimately, it was a hard grind, but we just accepted an offer within 4% of our expectations, with the buyer securing what is a fantastic property at a fair price. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome, and know that without the flexibility and persistence of Dave and Bindi it is unlikely we would have sold the property at all. Let alone for a price we were happy with.

David, a pleasure to work with you and Joann to, this time, sell the apartment for my parents. From your first meeting with them you had their confidence. The sale and the price has been a great result for them.

Gary Forster

Joann, great to work with you and David on the sale of my parents’ apartment in Cremorne. As they live in Melbourne all your work to prepare and present the property was greatly appreciated and I’m sure contributed to the sale. They are delighted with the result.

Gary Forster

Many thanks to David and his great team for assisting in the recent selling of my property. I've had the pleasure of dealing with his team for many years now both as a buyer and seller and the experience on both fronts has been first class. I would highly recommend and their knowledge on the local market is second to none. Thank you!

Joann was a delight. Her straightforward approach, prompt communication and assistance made my experience trouble free. Her experience is far in advance of her years. She treated my home as if it was her own. The communication between herself and David was excellent as she was on top on the situation at all times.

Extremely collaborative and supportive and did a fantastic job getting the house ready for sale! Joanne and her partner David did a great job in managing the sale from beginning to end.

After interviewing a number of agents I chose David and his partner Joanne to prepare and manage the sale of my house. They did a fantastic job throughout and at no point did I not trust they were doing the best job possible for me. Would highly recommend!

Joann was incredibly lovely and easy to deal with. She was always there to answer queries, give us recommendations and never more than a phone call away. I know she had to show quite a few interested parties outside the usual open hours and I commend her dedication to selling our property, which ultimately led to a great outcome. Thank you Joann!

We can't thank Joann enough for her help in selling our family home. She has wonderful tradesman at her ready, she is organised, very approachable and kept us informed through the whole sale process. Jo also managed our sale on her own for the first two weeks of the campaign with David away and did this with absolute professionalism. I can't recommend Joann and the David Murphy team highly enough! Thankyou!

The sale of your property is a very stressful experience. No question was it silly and she alway returned my calls quickly. Joann made the sale a pleasurable experience. I highly recommend Joann.

Thank you for your clear communication, collaborative approach and friendly professionalism.

Very trusting and a delight to work with.

From start to finish David proved to be a true professional. His market knowledge is amazing. Did we expect to sell our property within a week of the first open house, NO WAY, and yet it was sold within 7 days at a price beyond our expectations. We would have no problem recommending this agency for above expectation sales results.

After guiding our family through 3 sales in 3 years we are going to start the David Murphy Real Estate Fan Club.

3 generations with different homes and expectations. All were met. We love these guys.

David and Joann are consummate professionals that don’t get involved with the spin you get from other agencies or silly spends on giant advertising campaigns.

They are efficient, offer great advice, keep you in the loop throughout the process and work ridiculous hours to get everything in place to optimise outcomes. Go team DMR!

Tracy & Phil

Joann

There is no doubt that Joann Rutherford is proficient, professional and it has been a pleasure working with her to achieve our goal of a successful sale. Joann certainly knows what is required to achieve a seamless sales process from the compilation of a time line schedule through to its punctual execution. We found that we could comfortably call Joann at any time with any questions or queries and she would effortlessly respond.

Kind regards

The journey of selling a property is always somewhat stressful as is buying therefore it is crucial to have a good Real Estate Agent. David Murphy is professional and also extremely amicable, he gave us good clear updates and recommendations throughout the process, his communication is without fault. The result was total satisfaction.

Kind regards

Mary-Anne and Ron Tennant

David & Joann kept us fully informed throughout the process.

Kate dropped a bottle of very nice Champers around . Thought she'd never leave! :-)

Great Agency. Not too impressed with Mr Murphy's kneeless jeans but we'll forgive him for that.

Sale

David sold my investment property. He gave me excellent advice about the market and what I needed to do with my property to get it ready for sale. He recommended a great stylist which made a big difference. He also advised me to get my place painted for maximum impact. David organised the painting to be done within days and the stylist also. David also put together a fantastic brochure. David kept me informed of the feedback from buyers every step of the way. When it came to negotiation, David was amazing and enabled me to get a fantastic price for my property. I trust his advice and negotiation skills.

Rental

David looked after an investment property for me. Thanks to David I had great tenants who looked after my place well. Also, when it came time to selling my place, David was able to help the tenants move out and find a new place earlier than expected which worked well for all of us.

I can't recommend him enough.

David and Joann and his team made the sale of our home less stressful than we imagined it would be. They achieved a record result for us and we were delighted. We would highly recommend them.

Joann is a great agent. She's organised, detailed oriented and just a pleasure to work with. She communicated very clearly with us and took the stress out of what could have been a stressful experience. We were very happy with our result. I'll definitely recommend Joann to my friends and family

Superb market knowledge and network. Strong negotiation skills that kicked in when it counted, during the final stages of the sales process.

Joann was instrumental to the sale of our house. Her patience and strong negotiation efforts were the key to our successful sale. I would no hesitation to recommend Joann and the team at DMRE.

Joann comes highly recommended, attentive, nothing too much trouble and exceptional in her work ethic and brilliant customer care

Great personal communications, personal interest and tenacious

Helpful and considerate

Joann was a pleasure to work with, and reflects the values of David Murphy Real Estate. She helped us prepare the house prior to selling, with her amazing and professional connections. She had a very accurate view on the current market, the price range for us, the types of people interested, our competition and where to pitch, and how to style the house. She was a great support for us and another point of contact apart from David. She followed up leads well has a great engagement with potential buyers, while being realistic and honest. She has a great future ahead of her and again with this sale showed why she has our appreciation and respect.

Joann Rutherford is an excellent agent- definitely choose her and David Murphy. She is extremely committed and knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to drive the sales process to the best possible outcome, including being responsive to last-minute purchaser viewing requests and all the things that make the difference to the final outcome. She is super organised and tenacious and drives hard to support vendors to get their property ready to sell. This is a major differentiator and enables busy vendors to achieve a great price with trusted trade contacts etc. She is really excellent.
