Testimonials

I have recently sold my unit through Lucy White and the team at David Murphy Real Estate. I was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism, the entire process was smooth and I could not fault the customer service. They were upfront and also very realistic with what was achievable from the beginning. Would not hesitate using them again to sell my next property!

The sales method " offers over x dollars" we have learnt can be a powerful sales technique (as opposed to the traditional auction) when supported by real estate experience, intellect, energy and ethics.We believe both David and Lucy have these attributes.Our house was sold quickly using this method, for the price we sought, without us incurring unnecessary advertising expenditure.Thank you David and Lucy.

David and his team did a great job in selling our unit. We got a top price and were very happy with the personal service provided by this growing agency. David's attention to detail and friendly honest advice made you feel like he was really on our side.We would highly recommend him to anyone considering listing their property.

We trusted Lucy White and David Murphy to sell our home in Longueville because of their professional sales approach. They proposed a focused marketing campaign and were able to support their initial property valuation with facts.In the event Lucy was able to generate several good prospects in a short time. Thus we were able to conclude the sale confident that we had achieved the best price and terms available.We strongly recommend Lucy and David for their professional approach.

For what can be a harrowing and stressful experience, David and his team made the process of selling our home almost enjoyable. David is a very genuine and trustworthy person. I trusted him and he did a good job as he got me what I was after and more, with the minimum of fuss.

I definitely use him and his team again and will recommend him wholeheartedly.

I have very recently purchased a property in Mosman through David Murphy Real Estate. Right from the word go David and his colleagues were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Always returned my calls and emails, answered all my questions, and kept me completely up to date with what was going on at all times. I cannot fault the level of service at all. I would like to thank them, and especially David for all their help - as it can be a little stressful at times. I will definitely return to them if I am ever to sell a property!

We have just bought a property through David Murphy, and having been frustrated, let down and generally exhausted by the process of dealing with agents previously, we were thrilled that David acted in such a transparent, professional and honest way. He was an absolute breath of fresh air, and the kind of person that you want to deal with when undertaking such a significant purchase. Happy to recommend him to anyone.

David has been perhaps the most impressive real estate agent I have dealt with, after buying and selling multiple properties in the past 15 years. We first met David when purchasing a property in Neutral Bay, and had a great experience dealing with him - an honest agent who acted very fairly and open with us. David still kept in touch in the time after our purchase, and when time came to sell again we definitely wanted to use him as we knew it would be a pleasant experience. He knows the local market well, gives honest advise that is aimed at getting the best price for the property (and not just securing a quick sale), and ultimately acts with integrity with the seller, but also the buyer which I think ultimately drives better results. I have no reservations in recommending David.

We initially made our decision to go with David Murphy Real Estate to sell our home after meeting his team at various open homes and dealing with them on the buy side. We were impressed with their straightforward and straight talking approach to negotiations.David Murphy and Lucy White took on selling our unique home in Mosman Bay and didn't just adopt the attitude of working to get the listing but worked very hard at understanding buyer needs and profiles so they could market the property at the buyer inquiry stage, working with the buyers right though the negotiation stages to exchange. At every stage we felt the process was transparent and we understood exactly what our expectations should be so when we decided to accept an offer we knew they had done their homework. We trusted their advice and no nonsense approach, it made our decision to sell at a particular price less stressful. We didn't need to second guess our decision.I would not hesitate to recommend dealing with David Murphy and Lucy White and the team at David Murphy Real Estate whether it be on the buying side or the selling side.

I would like to thank Lucy and the team at David Murphy Real Estate for recently selling our 4 apartments at Regents Flats, 29 Waruda St Kirribilli.

Over the last 3 months, I have found Lucy’s property knowledge and expertise during the sales cycle to be second to none. Lucy demonstrated a detailed understanding of the Kirribilli market and worked tirelessly to ensure our targeted price ranges were obtained.

With regards to customer service, Lucy kept us constantly “in the loop” on the status of the marketing campaign and listened to our needs at time of negotiation.

Overall we found the selling of these properties to be a seamless, incident free process.

Based on our recent experience I am sure when the time arises, we will utilise Lucy’s services again, and I would have no qualms recommending David Murphy Real Estate  to others that may want to sell their valued property.

A lifetime experience. I bought my place with them and in fact I paid extra 50,000 because the agent was too smart and got the best price for her clients. Very high professional ethic, dedicated for their best outcome for their clients. Very friendly, kind environment to ask for advice and could be anything. I was struggling with my dog, and they looked after it until we could manage to have it back. You do not need to think twice to trust these people to look after your interest. You call anytime and somebody would come back to you, no matter what time of the day and night.I give them 10/10. Best agent that I have come across to. Please take my advice and live in peace. They are the one to trust to take care of your business. They are my lifetime agent now. And I think they would be yours too.

Best wishes and many thanks for all of your courteous assistance. I am recommending you and your team to all of my friends and associates so I hope you get an avalanche of new business!

Hi LucyJust a short note to thank you and Joann very much for your assistance with the purchase of our new house at Longueville. From our first inspection of the house to the settlement of the purchase yesterday you and Joann have always been very helpful and responded promptly and positively to anything we have asked. This certainly made for a much less stressful experience and for that we are very grateful.Thanks again.

Dear LucyI deliberately chose a smaller local agency to sell my unit, as I'd been impressed by their approach and more personal attitude and service. I was not disappointed and my unit sold swiftly and well after a short campaign, during which I was kept informed and was consulted regularly at each step.Thank you Lucy and David.

Hi David Thank you and well done on selling our family home today.Your professionalism, honesty and integrity has been very much appreciated. You and your team have made the process of selling as stress free as possible. Thanks again!

Lucy at DMRE did a fantastic job in her handling of the sale of our house in Neutral Bay.She was in constant contact, gave us a realistic estimate of what our house would be worth then exceeded our expectations in terms of price and ease of transaction. She's one of the few real estate professionals that truly is professional! She worked really hard for us but always had a smile on her face. Will definitely use Lucy again.

Dear David and LucyI want to take this opportunity to say thank you for all the hard work you did to sell our house and get us the result we wanted to achieve. You and your team were so supportive at all stages of this process, which at times can be stressful but all the team remained calm and help us with advice, support and at times humour. We have really enjoyed working with you all and once again thank you for all the hard work you and the team did to achieve our result.If you ever need a reference I am happy for people to contact me by email or phone and I will definitely be recommending the David Murphy team to my friends and family.

We just wanted to say thank you for the recent successful sale of our family home. We were thrilled with the final result and how quickly the sale came about.

We have now bought and sold with you and look forward to working together again in the future.

Thanks Again

Duncan & Liz St John

Thank you David and Lucy.

We are so appreciative of your hard work and persistence in selling Number 44. Despite having a number of properties on the market at the same time, you treated us as if we were your only clients and our home as if it were yours. You have a fantastic approach to selling, your priorities are to be commended and your knowledge of the market is second to none.

Thank you for doing such a terrific job!

It was more than just the great price, you made everything go so smoothly for us.

Phil & Tracy Mulligan

I just wanted to say thank you (again) for selling our home and getting a fantastic price in the end.  I know it was a bit of journey but your enthusiasm, focus and dedication really helped and paid off.

When I want to sell again I will definitely call you!

 All the best.

April

Although we have never met David in person, we can’t recommend him highly enough for selling our property in Mosman.We live abroad and from the first phone conversation I felt at ease with David. I found his contact details through an 'ethical real estate' group and liked his full disclosure and sales strategy and approach. He was always efficient and committed to selling our property with communication and trust being paramount to our relationship.We are very fortunate to have been in great hands while not being in the country. Many thanks to you and your team David.

Thank you Lucy (and the team) for all the hard work and dedication you showed in selling our house recently. From start to finish you made the sale so easy. You kept us constantly updated and involved at every stage, it was a roller coaster of a ride with an outstanding result.

Thank you. If ever we sell again you'll be hearing from us.

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and Lucy.

We are gobsmacked for lack of a better word, what a great result!

A huge thanks to both of you and the DMRE team from us.

Kyle & Peta Gray

Look no further, David Murphy and his team go above and beyond to achieve the best result for their clients!

Thank you David for surpassing our expectations and making the process of selling our home smooth and stress free. David & Sally Kelly

I was very happy with the service I received from David and his team.

His knowledge was invaluable. I was kept fully informed and was consulted at every stage during the period that my unit was for sale. The result was better than I expected.

David and his entire team are real professionals.

David and his team were amazing with the sale of our home.He was always very honest with us at every step and the service that him and his team delivered felt very personalised.We chose David as we felt he was perfect to represent us and he delivered above and beyond our expectations. He was extremely genuine and we trusted him to handle the sale of our home.

I would highly recommend David Murphy real estate to anyone looking to buy in the North Shore/Northern Sydney area. We looked at a number of properties in the area from different vendors and David's team stood out in terms of ensuring that ensuring that the house we finally bought was the right house for us. As first home buyers we were grateful that David took the time to ensure we felt comfortable with all stages of the process and he followed up on all the questions we had.  As private buyers, David managed the bidding process very professionally and he and his team have continued to provide the same level of attention after settlement. 5 stars!

I would like to recommend David Murphy and his team to anyone looking to sell their property. The whole process was made so much easier by David and his outstanding team 'behind the scenes' in the office. The office support was particularly impressive pre and during the campaign. David and the team's service was always honest, genuine, attentive and personal - this made a big difference to me.Although my property was smaller than many of the houses DMRE sells, I never felt it was less important. David's knowledge and advice throughout the sale of my unit gave me confidence in the process and ultimately achieved an excellent result.

Lucy White acted for us on the sale of 7 Florence Street, Cremorne in mid-2014.Lucy was fantastic and I have no hesitation in recommending her and her team whether you are a buyer or a seller. Lucy was professional at all times, her views and approach was always well considered and her communication pitched perfectly. Lucy always behaved in a way that was transparent and her advice was realistic, Lucy & David know the Mosman/Cremorne/Neutral Bay market and industry players very well, they work very hard for their clients and always act with integrity.

We bought and sold with David so have had the full experience. We were super impressed!David and team know the market better than anyone else, work extremely hard and are a pleasure to work with. Above all else, they tell it like it is, acting with complete openness and honesty. We will definitely use them for any future sales and highly recommend David and team to anyone we know!

Dear David,Susan and I just want to thank the DM team for the care and attention you have given to selling our Mosman home. The journey from first discussion to final sale has been stress free, collaborative and supportive. We are delighted with the final price we received and want to thank you for the many hours of negotiation you invested to achieve our goal. I would recommend David Murphy Real Estate to any seller who is looking for a customised service with superior sales results.

Hi David,

just a quick note to thank you for selling my unit recently. I had high expectations for a good price & you certainly exceeded my expectations by not only setting a record price for a unit in my building, but doing it in such a quick timeframe! And all the week before Xmas!

Although I was a bit anxious at putting it on the market you didn't make me feel pressured to accept anything other than what I was happy with, and the entire process ran very smoothly. So thanks again to you & your team for doing such a great job. I'll certainly be in touch again when I'm ready to buy / sell another one!

David and his team have been absolutely amazing with regards to the sale of my property. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering selling.

What made him stand out from the other local agents was his positive attitude, his market knowledge and his honesty and integrity in dealing with all issues related to the sale of the property.

Thank you,

We have had the pleasure of working with David Murphy and his team on three occasions now, in the sale of our properties in Mosman.In each instance we have been very pleased with the sales results achieved and with the very short space of time in which we have achieved them (an exchange of contracts within seven days and after one ‘open for inspection’ is pretty pleasing.We have always appreciated David’s ‘down to earth’ style, the ease with which he communicates to us his feedback from prospective buyers and the realistic and credible reasons he conveys for the most effective means of achieving the end sale.As far as we’re concerned, three experiences with David and his team equates to ‘three times proves it’.

We cannot recommend David Murphy and his team more highly.

We formed a rapport from our first meeting. We were not rushed to market but encouraged to prepare our house and to list when we were ready. It proved to be wise advice. A marketing strategy was discussed and agreed and, as things panned out, the sale went exactly as to plan. We had multiple parties with genuine interest and sold after 2 weeks on the market.

David's communication with us was first rate. His advice was considered and commercial throughout. And it was also evident that he treated the prospective buyers with respect and maintained excellent communication with them all through to the end. The end result exceeded our expectations and we would happily recommend David Murphy and all of the DMRE team to any prospective vendor.

David and his team could not have impressed me more! Right from the outset, David's no-nonsense, conservative approach coupled with an impressive understanding of the local market provided the basis for a truly positive, relaxed selling experience.

Dear Lucy,I am writing to thank you for the wonderful job you did in selling unit 13 at 10 Clifford St Mosman for us. We were able to achieve a great result in a relatively short time frame, which was even more impressive given it was achieved over the Christmas holiday period. Your professionalism, integrity and attention to detail were a highlight as well as your ongoing communication and updates. We certainly appreciated the advice and service you were able to provide on presenting the property, the regular and honest updates on the inspections and level of interest, and your realistic assessment of the property’s value. We were also greatly impressed by your negotiating skills and ability to close the sale. It was a great service from start to finish and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking to sell their property in Mosman or surrounding areas.

I had first heard of David Murphy's professional and honest approach, about 15 months prior to needing to put my unit on the market. So when the time came to sell my unit, I knew which agent I was to get.

I had high expectations, but I got even better than I expected. David & Joann made it all seem so effortless, and even though I was rather anxious at the start, their approach put me at ease and I never felt pressured.David's genuine and no nonsense made me realise that he had my best interest at hand and the entire process was completed in less than 2 weeks.

I found David & Joann very professional and extremely helpful, way over and above the call of duty, right from the start! It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Thank you David, Joann & rest of the team.

David and Joanne went above and beyond to ensure I got the best possible result when selling my 1 BR apartment in Cremorne.

Being interstate I was unable to be there to ready the apartment before openings but David and Joanne had it covered, arriving early to turn on Air Con and tidy up outdoor spaces of leaves and debris. They demonstrated an excellent knowledge of the market and gave me a realistic expectation of what I could expect to get for my property. Throughout the selling process I felt confident I could trust David and his team were giving me sound advice and they were above reproach when it came to negotiating with the buyer.

Thanks David and Joanne for a exceptionally pleasant and stress free selling experience. I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking to sell their property!

David Murphy Real Estate acted on the sale of our property in Mosman. We achieved a wonderful result.Importantly, we did not have cause to question, at any time, David's expertise, his market knowledge, his strategy or his integrity. His negotiation skills in the 24 hour period leading up to the exchange of contracts were outstanding. Importantly, he carried out his responsibilities as our agent with complete honesty and transparency, not only towards us as the Vendors but towards each and every potential purchaser.

We recommend David and his wonderful team at David Murphy Real Estate to any prospective seller, and we do so without reservation.

David and the team are very practical and upfront in their approach and explain the whole sale process and selling campaign very well.We liked their common sense and honesty and never felt pressured by them in any aspect of the selling process. I believe they cut a lot of the unnecessary costs of other agents without compromising on service or most importantly the 'end result'.We are very happy with the outcome of our property and the way the team handled the sale and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.

David Murphy, along with his assistant Joann Rutherford, recently completed the sale of our small investment property in Mosman.Their superior service, market knowledge and professional guidance throughout the short campaign was brilliant and the result achieved was outstanding.

Both my husband and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of the team at David Murphy Real Estate.

It was a pleasure to deal with David and his team; they kept us up to date on every developments of our sale (without prompting) and provided sound advice at each stage.

We are incredibly pleased with the result, our 2 bedroom unit in Lane Cove sold within a week of being advertised for a price that exceeded our expectations.Highly recommended.

We were very happy with the service we received from David Murphy and his colleague Joann.

We live overseas and the task of selling a house from afar has the potential to be very difficult. It could not have been easier with David and Joann who provided very personalised assistance. They were very responsive to our emails and calls, provided sensible advice, saved us some unnecessary costs and at times, went beyond the call of duty to quickly progress the process of the sale.

Our house sold quickly and for a higher amount than we were originally expecting.

I gave Lucy complete responsibility for selling an investment property in Cremorne. I gave it to her straight after a tenant departed, and Lucy and Joann got it tidied up and on the market quickly. Lucy sold it within 12 days of listing, at a price $50,000 more than I expected.

I highly recommend Lucy and Joann for their proactive approach, terrific communication and outstanding results.

I couldn't recommend Lucy highly enough, it is a long time since I sold real estate and Lucy's guidance and professionalism I couldn't fault. Always available and always on time. She has a very lovely personality and reads people well. It only took three weeks to sell my property and whilst for me it was very stressful, she was very reassuring and able to guide me through. The result was exactly what I wanted. I am more than happy to give Lucy any testimonial. I chose her from four agents and was influenced in my choice by Rate My Agent, apart from my gut feeling about her.

Well done Lucy and many many thanks.

We engaged Lucy White for the sale of our Neutral Bay semi, and we have had an experience that has exceeded all our expectations.

From her first phone call Lucy demonstrated her trusting and supportive nature it what can be a sometimes overwhelming process of selling your home. She had an accurate appraisal of both the market and our property, showing a confident but not unrealistic value. Her ideas on marketing and time to sell were also spot on.

We are ecstatic about the result she has achieved in selling our property and would recommend her without any hesitation.

Thanks to David and his team for selling our unit in Mosman.

It was sold in less than a month for a fair market price and David was in constant communication with us the whole time. We appreciate all the hard work and effort put in!

My experience with David was overwhelmingly positive. I felt I had someone in my corner supporting me through the sale who gave me good advice, realistic progress reports and was a professional across the board. He and his team know the market and work with the seller and buyer to get the best outcome for both. I will tell my friends.

We chose Lucy to sell our apartment in St Leonards based on her professionalism, knowledge of the area and her direct and honest approach.

Lucy provided a narrow sale price range based on recent sales and then was able to beat this range when we sold the property. Lucy communicated with me regularly about what was happening in relation to potential buyers and was persistent in the face of some setbacks early in the sale process.

Lucy and her team took full ownership of any problems and even went to the apartment to personally take care of some administration / housekeeping matters. I would thoroughly recommend Lucy to any potential sellers.

David is very easy to deal with and gave both Ashley & I good advice as to when to take our property to market. The whole team at David Murphy Real Estate care about achieving the best possible outcome for the sale of your property.

David and his team made this sometimes stressful situation very easy with their competent and expert guidance. David was in communication with us continually providing feedback from all inspections.

Our home sold very quickly and we are very happy with the outcome and highly recommend David Murphy Real Estate.

David and his team handled the prelisting and open for inspections very professionally. I found David easy to deal with and readily available when needed to discuss such matters as on-line advertising.

My property was sold within two weeks from listing for a very satisfactory price.

David and his team displayed a great level of commitment to the sale of our property and provided us with plenty of feedback. The sales process could not have gone smoother and we were all very pleased with the result.

David & his team recently sold our townhouse in Mosman with great success and achieved a price that surpassed our expectations. A result we attribute to his exceptional knowledge of the market and his unique ability to engage with prospective buyers.

We anticipated that selling our house would involve significant stress and were relieved to see this burdened shouldered primarily by David. His team were pro-active in assisting us to prepare and co-ordinated many of the pre-sale services required. Davids prompt response to any concerns and more importantly his honest and straight forward style was a great relief and further enhanced our confidence in the process.

It was a pleasure to work with David and his team and we recommend them without hesitation.

David, Joann and the team have been very prompt, professional, open and honest throughout the sale of my property. I was in good hands given the large number of interested buyers. David handled each party with a personal touch and had the patience of walking me through his handling of each interested buyer throughout the sale process. Contact and correspondence from David and his team were very regular and highly effective.

Thank you once again.

David and Joann were brilliant to deal with.

I felt confident that they were doing the most possible to best position my property and maximise the sale price. If Plan A didn't go quite to plan, David would always clearly articulate what Plan B and C were. David was always available to update me on progress and kept me very well informed of developments.

Thanks David and team!

Lucy recently sold a property for me and was a pleasure to work with.

Lucy maintained regular contact with prospective buyers and kept me up to date as progress was made. I felt confident about the advice Lucy provided and she negotiated a great outcome on my behalf.

We can't recommend Lucy White highly enough. She provided valuable advice on how best to present the property for sale and was communicative every step of the way.

As a first home seller we relied on her negotiation skills and market knowledge to deliver a fantastic outcome for us. Professional, organised, experienced, communicative and outcome focussed would be the words I'd use to describe her service to us.

Thank you to her and the team at David Murphy.

Lucy is a legend!

I bought and sold the same property in Sydney with Lucy as my Agent.

Her approach is ethical, straight forward, and commercially savvy. She is a delight to work with, as are the team at David Murphy who managed the property.
