Testimonials

From the minute I engaged the David Murphy team to sell my apartment I was blown away with their commitment to service and getting the job signed, sealed and delivered! As soon as I decided to go ahead with the sale Joann had everything organised. She is friendly, ridiculously efficient and did a wonderful job of helping communicate with the tenants in the apartment to ensure the sale process with open for inspections went as smoothly as possible. Thank so much to Joann for your commitment to achieving a great result. I could not recommend this team highly enough!

It was my lucky day when a friend recommended ringing the David Murphy real estate team to help me sell me apartment on Clifford Street. From the first phone call to the sale of the apartment, the service from the entire team has been five star. David has a fabulous positive energy and backs it up with integrity, fantastic market knowledge and the ability to get the job done. Through the entire process I had complete confidence that the best outcome could be achieve by David and his team. It's rare these days to find such a business filled with people who seem to love what they do. David, you've obviously built a wonderful team around you and I'd like to thank you all for making the sale of the apartment so easy with such a great result!

David Murphy Real Estate team listen, canvas options, competently advise and strategically act to achieve the optimal sale. Throughout the sale process I was kept fully informed. Never did I doubt that the team would give this process their very best - experience, hard work, realistic appraisals at every stage. Absolute integrity. They organized removals, painting, styling, photography.... resulting in the highest level of presentation. It was an excellent decision to go with this team and a pleasure to work with them.

I could not recommend David Murphy highly enough. He is a highly skilled and hardworking agent who continually went above and beyond to make sure everything progressed smoothly before, during and after our sale. David has outstanding knowledge of the local market, knew exactly how best to market our property and kept all parties well informed at all times. I am really delighted I chose David Murphy Real Estate and would always do so again.

David Murphy, Joann and all the team were helpful, knowledgable and communicative throughout the process. Highly recommendable!

I recently purchased a Mosman home through David Murphy Real Estate. David is a really pleasant person to deal with and I do believe he is one of those agents with high integrity. His Associate Agent Joann Rutherford was also pleasant and saw to it that all of my questions were answered by the vendors. I would highly recommend David and Joann.

Exceptionally professional, caring, hard working and organized. David and Joann went out of their way to help me at every opportunity. Amazing for so many reasons. David's experience really shows through when the going gets tough. Most importantly I felt that I could trust him 100% throughout the journey. Big thanks to all the team.

We engaged David Murphy to sell our house after he had successfully sold another house on our street. From the very first communication with David (8pm on a Sunday evening!) he has been exceptionally efficient, honest, supportive and totally reliable. His co-agent Joann on our listing has also been a delight to deal with. Joann has been able to solve any issue that we have needed to work through, is also super efficient, and provided excellent advice. Both David and Joann provided constant communication during the process. We cannot rate David and Joann highly enough and would recommend DMRE to anyone selling their home. You will not find a better or more hardworking team.

We bought a property from DM real estate. David always has lovely homes for sale and understands the needs of buyers. He helped to arrange inspections and we are very happy with the home that we now have. I do feel that current market conditions favour vendors and I would like to see more transparency in the sales process. The purpose of a cooling off period provides purchasers with adequate time to have inspections completed and minimalise the stress involved in buying and selling a house. I appreciate the time that David took in taking us through this process and reassuring us that the property we were purchasing was worth its value. Building and pest inspections were completed by a third party so that purchasers could review information quickly as required. The staff from David Murphy are friendly, competent and extremely reliable.

We were so lucky - and grateful - when a friend and neighbour recommended David Murphy to us. From start to finish, David and Joann have been utterly professional in their dealings with us and very knowledgeable about the market. But, more importantly for us, they took much of the stress of selling away. We have lived in our apartment for 37 years so we were rather nervous about the whole process but right from our first meeting, we trusted David implicitly. His regular communications, honesty and advice were spot on and we are very happy with the result. We definitely recommend David and Joann to anyone looking for an honest and reliable real estate team, who get results.

I had the pleasure of dealing with David during the purchase of an apartment. Even though he was acting for the owners, he was very good at making me feel like he had my best interests at heart too. He was straight talking and good at keeping me in the loop. I appreciated his honesty and communication skills. David made a potentially stressful situation quite relaxed and fun.

David and his team instilled immediate confidence once we decided to select them as the agent for our unit in Mosman. Incredibly well co-ordinated, he invested time to understand our requirements in full, and ensured everything in the sales process was taken care of. All steps prior to launching the campaign were dealt with incredibly professionally and swiftly. We were kept well informed at all times of progress and moved much faster than anticipated to closing out our sale well beyond expectations only 9 days after launch! David is highly personable and a top negotiator - would highly recommend!

David is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable about the market and achieved a good result. He also supported us through the emotional roller-coaster ride of selling our home of over 40 years - a difficult task. Thank you David!

David keeps you in the loop and is more transparent than other agents - providing up to date info on the sale. Much appreciated.

To the Tribe at David Murphy Real Estate a huge thank you to you all for your assistance & professionalism, it has not gone un-noticed, nor will it be forgotten!

We first met David and Joann as potential buyers some years ago, and we knew that day that though we wouldn't be purchasing that particular property, we had found the agents that we would use to sell in the future. When the time came, they made the whole process smooth. David is a very good communicator and highly competent, and he did it all with some much needed humour, making a stressful time easier. Joann was personable, easy to deal with and a great support. An exceptional team. Thanks David Thanks Joann

David was on top of the sale process right form the start and communicated very well. No effort spared in trying to get offers prior to auction. Has a very good team including staff, and other service providers. Would use again without hesitation.

The agency represented the unit we recently purchased. The negotiations were handled very professionally and honestly. Communication was excellent and we were able to reach a fair and equitable agreement for us all.

We would like to thank David and his team for their hard work, professionalism, regular communications, and achieving a good result. David had his finger on the ‘pulse’ of the campaign throughout. David and Joann took care of everything, answered all our questions, kept us well informed, provided great advice and despite it being a stressful process, there was also a lot a humour! David is very personable and we have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone selling their home. Thank you David and Joann!

We have used David Murphy twice in the last 3 years and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. The first time was a successful expressions of interest sale of our family home and the second time was a successful auction sale of an investment unit. He is a great communicator and really knows the Mosman market. All his team are a pleasure to deal with and they really care about their clients. Thank you again to David Murphy and associates for making what is often a very stressful situation as pleasant as it can be.

David and his team are remarkably outstanding in what they do. They have great market knowledge and their communication with us during the whole process of the sale is top notch. David provided great services, met all our needs and very professional. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is buying or selling their property. We had such a good experience selling our home. David had our best interest at heart and I would not have asked for anyone better as he went far and beyond our expectation in achieving a great results. We are blown away. Always remember your infectious smile, thank you immensely to David and Joann at David Murphy Real Estate.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to write a review about David Murphy and his team. From the outset of employing the agency to sell our property, we felt confident of the outcome. David and Joann could not have guided us any better in a very personal and emotional decision to sell our family home. Their communication was excellent and we always felt they were giving us their full attention. I would certainly recommend David Murphy to anyone selling or managing a property. Even though we were out of their area, it made no difference to their willingness to visit our property whenever it was necessary. Thank you David and Joanne - it was a pleasure to work with you both.

We bought a property that David was marketing. We couldn't be more impressed with Davids honesty, integrity, insights and follow up. His advice gave us great confidence and we are over the moon with our purchase. David will be first on our list if/ when we intend to sell our house.

When we engaged Joann and David to sell our place, I had a list of questions ready for them. David mentioned that Joann was a little partial to a list herself. And so she was. Joann managed all of the sale preparations methodically and calmly, giving us regular updates - by way of lists! We developed complete confidence in Joann right from the start and that confidence turned out to be wholly justified. Thank you Joann.

David is a pleasure to deal with. He is very personable, responsive and honest. We had been looking to buy a property on the North Shore of Sydney for several months and were getting quite frustrated and disheartened. David made it his mission to find us a suitable place and was very supportive throughout the whole process. Buying a property through David was painless and straight forward - a most pleasant experience. David has exceptional market knowledge and a very different attitude to other real estate agents. He is not pushy and does not use the typical sales techniques such as under quoting or over selling properties. He is capable of respecting and matching the interests of seller and buyer at the same time - a very unique skill. If we should ever decide to sell our new home, we will most definitely engage David as our agent.

David Murphy is everything you want in a real estate agent when you decide to sell your house. Honest, decisive, caring and full of drive. You could not go wrong by choosing David as your agent, he is worth having on your side.

The team at David Murphy helped Nicole and I secure our new home and we couldn't be happier with the whole process. Once we found our ideal home the team sold our house "off market'' in an incredible 12 days! I'd recommend David and the team to anyone who wants to deal with a professional and highly effective real estate agent.

Joann prepared and sold my mother's unit as though it were her own. Throughout the sale process she carefully listened to me and provided options and sound advice. She ensured the unit looked amazing for presentation. She ensured the marketing was efficient and as many people as one could wish for came and saw the unit. All of this assistance was efficient, professional and to schedule. This took a huge weight off me and will always be so appreciated. The unit sold and this process too was efficient and to schedule. I cannot more highly recommend Joann and David Murphy Real Estate.

Joann was a delight to have on board as our agent. From the outset she was very committed to to sell our home in its best light and we always felt she had our best interests at heart. Joann was always available for us, either by phone or at the property. She responded to emails promptly and we respected her opinions and suggestions regarding presentation of the property and sale strategy. We would have no hesitation is recommending her to anyone we know thinking of selling their property.

Joann worked alongside David on the sale of our 2 bedroom flat. I found her to be incredibly responsive and helpful, always willing to go out of her way to ensure the process was as smooth as possible. She ensured nothing was missed and contributed significantly to the positive outcome we got. Highly recommended.

David's relaxed and flexible approach to our situation was greatly appreciated. He was always ready to consider alternate paths and encouraged debate and consultation. At all times we felt confident we would achieve a successful outcome and we certainly weren't disappointed!

David has recently sold two apartments in Mosman for me. I chose him because he had huge local market knowledge, a good reputation, and because he undertook to be paid a fixed percentage only when the sale was complete. This meant he was willing to risk his own time and money, which I liked. David is an excellent communicator with an easy engaging style, and kept me well informed as the campaign progressed. I noticed that he kept his word - you could count on it - and was direct in dealing with the minor unpleasantnesses that are involved in adapting to the market reality. The achieved price definitely exceeded my satisfaction level.

We have lived in our unit for almost 38 years so we were very nervous about selling it. From our first meeting, Joann reassured us and we were struck by her charming and totally efficient manner. Her real estate knowledge was considerable and it was a delight to work with her- I highly recommend Joann Rutherford.

Thank you Joann for your help in selling my mother's apartment in Mosman. I really enjoyed working with you. You kept us informed at all stages and made what can be a stressful event professional and clear. Thank you again.

The Team at DMRE and David himself where are pleasure to deal with. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and accessible they were able to connect our family with the right property in the right area. There are a lot of estate agents working in Mosman NSW but David is a local resident who has more than a just commercial knowledge of the area. I believe David did an excellent job on behalf of the vendor and made the buying experience so much less stressful than our experience with others. The team at DMRE are first class and could have not been more helpful post sale. I found dealing with David and the Team an unusual pleasure and can recommend them without reservation if you are looking for premium service, excellent properties and unparalleled local knowledge.

Joann did a terrific job helping us sell our Mosman house. Her energy and drive combined with her high level of people skills to great effect. I thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a savvy and attentive agent.

When we decided to move from the suburb we had resided in for 24 years, making the right choice in the right suburb was our highest priority. Our new home clicked with us the moment we inspected it and the location was perfect. Joann and David make the whole process seamless from negotiation to settlement. After 6 months of renovating, we're now enjoying our new home immensely and would have no hesitation in recommending Joann and the David Murphy Team.

Throughout my property purchase, Joann was always available to answer my last minute questions and was very patient when it came to me doing the final inspections. It made my life so much easier that she was able to show me how to operate the fireplace, electric blinds and water feature too. She came across as very professional, hard working and caring.

After 25 years in our home we were unfamiliar with the essential steps to a successful sale. We had no knowledge of market trends or buyer preferences. David Murphy and Joann guided us through the process. Their skill and experience resulted in a sale after only three weeks on the market, at the top of our expectations. All up it was a stress-free, professionally managed process.

David was a pleasure to deal with and is someone who I'd highly recommend to anyone, the whole process from engagement to completion ran very smoothly, the whole experience was an absolute pleasure. David is a brilliant communicator and set a very clear and realistic expectation at the outset of our sales campaign, his general approach, regular updates and ongoing recommendations gave me the confidence that he was always in control and well engaged with all prospects at all times. I would certainly engage David for any future opportunities regarding real estate.

I dealt with David, Joann and the rest of the team at DMRE as a purchaser of a property listed with DMRE. David and Joann were contactable at all hours, responding to questions promptly and even outside office hours. My experience with DMRE was a welcome change to the standard treatment I had come to expect from other seller's agents on the Lower North Shore. I cannot recommend David and the team highly enough.

David is professional but relaxed, knowledgeable, honest, and a great communicator. We had been searching for a home, but through David this home came looking for us. David knew that this house had character and charm, and would make a perfect home for our young family. He kept us very well informed, and we always felt he negotiated with integrity and skill. David was a great agent to buy a house through, and he is definitely THE man to sell a house.

I cannot speak highly enough of David Murphy and indeed his whole staff. He brings his knowledge of the the Lower North Shore, and his negotiating skills to bear, and a small apartment gets the same genuine attention that a multi million mansion would receive. David is fortunate enough to be possessed of empathy. Not a lot of it around. In a space of days, David sold my apartment at a record price for the building, with no hassles for myself or the purchaser. Everything was done with a modicum of fuss, and genuine sincerity. A great result when everyone is happy!!!! Thank you David.

The confidence, knowledge, efficiency and respect shown by David and his team is"nulli secundus", second to none! Being in the older generation, one sometimes has difficulty adapting to the new methods and changes that have occurred but David and his team were very respectful of my needs making the sale of my apartment a very smooth and pleasant experience. A big thank you to you all, for your understanding and for obtaining such a good price.

This is the second property David has sold for us in the past few months, and I was just as delighted with his work this time as last time. David provides clear and frequent communication, so you know exactly where you stand at any point in time. He also provides outstanding negotiation skills, which stem in part from his keen interest in the people he is dealing with. Thank you David, another superb effort.

David was great to deal with. He went beyond what was required to finalise the deal. I found him honest and straight forward and liked him from the first moment I met him. More importantly I felt he had our families interests at heart and guided us through the process. I would definitely recommend him and his team.

David had terrific market knowledge, communicated well, was credible and able to engage well in the negotiation because of his knowledge and credibility. I believe that he had the ability to make a potentially stressful process run smoothly to completion for both parties. I would recommend David as an agent.

Thank you David and Joann, What a marvellous outcome. You went the extra mile for us in getting the place ready for sale and making it happen. You repaid the faith we placed in your team. Adrienne and I appreciated the time and effort you put in and the strategy you adopted to sell our property in Tregoyd. Thanks again for all your guidance and help. John & Adrienne

We were happy with our dealings with David. He was very professional and we felt we were kept informed of the buying process. Although not our preferred method of buying property, We would have preferred more transparency in the form of an auction, however as a purchaser that was not our choice.

It was an absolute pleasure working with David, Joann and the team whilst purchasing our new home.

David Murphy is a superb agent- truly the best I have ever dealt with. He is super committed, knowledgeable, approachable and responsive. He communicates very honestly and clearly and is extremely motivated to get the best price for his client and to negotiate hard when it counts. He has the perfect balance of listening to his client and using his experience to steer the process to drive the best outcome. Definitely choose him.

We have known David a number of years now and this is the second home he has sold for us. David goes out of his way to be there for you, and be there for our prospective buyers. He's pretty much the most honest agent and guy I know. Even on purchases, and other things when we were not selling and he didn't need to help he would always offer and go out of his way to help, and nothing was ever an issue. He manages both yours and buyers expectations perfectly, and his view on the market and accuracy of pricing is better than anyone I know. We consider David a friend and someone we trust implicitly and can't speak highly enough of him and his team at David Murphy. One of the nicest guys in real estate on the lower north shore.

David listed the house we just bought and we found the entire experience refreshing. Being in the market for a home is a stressful time and David was great. He was honest and above board the entire time. He delivered a great outcome for both the seller and buyer. He is one of the best agents we have encountered. We would highly recommend him.

Attentive and well organised team working with David. Highly recommend them.

Amazing agent, made the whole process extremely easy. And was very transparent.

Joann's knowledge, recommendations, and ability to co-ordinate the preparation and marketing of our property for sale gave us genuine comfort and allowed us to meet the market with confidence. The process was smooth and effortless, and together with the terrific team at David Murphy Real Estate enabled us to achieve the desired result. We would recommend Joann.

We recently engaged David Murphy to handle the sale of our apartment in Mosman. David's market knowledge, ability to communicate, and his sales experience in Mosman, together with his terrific team, made David Murphy Real Estate a logical choice. His advice from the commencement of the marketing campaign all the way through to completion proved accurate and timely, and enabled him to negotiate effectively. We would recommend David Murphy Real Estate.

Everyone I have dealt with at David Murphy is efficient, courteous, knowledgeable, and honest. I highly recommend them.

David Murphy and his agency are a pleasure to deal with. David was able to develop an excellent understanding of how our property related to the current market. He has integrity, humility and a great work ethic. Buyers and sellers alike trust his approach, which was important during the process of negotiating our sale.

Joann Rutherford is highly professional and was able to follow through whenever I needed her help or input.Her contact list is fantastic and all referrals for trades etc coming through Joann were responsive and efficient.Joann is both dedicated and talented.
