Testimonials

David has always been realistic and spot on when it comes to the expected sale price of the property and his knowledge of the market is second to none so we always knew we were in the best hands.To me there is nothing worse than having someone fuelling our expectation with unrealistic outcomes.He knew what we wanted.He told us what to do to get there and we followed his advice without question, for we knew this was the right thing to do.In the end the realization exceeded the expectation...and it wasnt just the market ..it was the agent and the market.

I found the pre sale advice on what we should do with the property to achieve our goal invaluable and were very helpful in assisting us in organising this.We were not given BS along the way, we were both realistic and in the end the sale price exceeded our expectation.You dont get better than that

David has great personal communications, personal interest and is tenacious

David is a pleasure to work with. He offered sensible and no-nonsense advice regarding our purchase of the property. It is clear that David has an in-depth knowledge of his market which enables him to provide useful recommendations. I have no hesitation in recommending David and his agency.

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

Having bought and sold a few properties over the years, I would rate Joann as one of the best agents I have dealt with. Excellent communication skills, highly responsive, motivated and ethical.

It has been an absolute pleasure to sell our house with David. He has incredible market knowledge and his advice and guidance on presenting our property at its best was absolutely spot on and yielded an excellent result beyond our expectations. He is honest, transparent, hardworking, extremely likeable and always available. David ensured that the whole sale process was stressfree and straightforward and it turned out to be a really enjoyable experience (definitely not what we had anticipated before we met David and his team!) David is an absolutely first class agent - he is 100% committed and goes the extra mile for clients without hesitation. There really aren't enough superlatives to adequately describe our experience with David and his team and I could not recommend him more highly.

Joann is an absolutely wonderful agent - knowledgeable, efficient, trustworthy, personable and hardworking. She made the process of selling our property stressfree, easy and ultimately enjoyable! She provided exemplary advice and support in all aspects of preparing our property for sale, as well as the ultimate sale itself. We achieved an excellent price for our property and were thoroughly impressed and more than satisfied with the service we received from Joann. Joann goes over and above to ensure that her clients' requirements are met and I could not recommend her more highly.

David was very easy to deal with and made the transaction straight forward. I would recommend both David and Joann to friends and family.

In all my dealings so far, it has been very professional. The service has been 10/10 and the responses quick and efficient, a pleasure to deal with.

I first met David when he was selling another property a few years ago which I didn't buy but I was extremely impressed with him. He stood well above the rest of the agents in Mosman. His friendliness and lack of 'cringe-worthy' agent speak and manner was such a refreshing thing. He was fair to the owner and fair to me as a buyer which I really respected. He knew the Mosman market deeply but didn't parade it about. I remembered him and years later subsequently retained him to sell my property. As far as I was concerned, there were no alternatives. He was always approachable and honest and I always felt like he had things totally under control - which he did. He provides a very personal touch to selling a property and his team is very proficient. He's at the head of the pack.

Joann is such a wonderful breath of fresh air as an agent. She listens, doesn't over-sell, has fabulous attention to detail and is always positive. She sold my house with the least amount of angst and reported honestly and regularly, which I really appreciated. She was the perfect choice. She is very intelligent and empathetic, knows her market and knows the things both buyers and sellers want and what they don't want. I would (immediately) retain her again.

Everyone we dealt with at David Murphy Real Estate were efficient, knowledgeable and honest. I have no hesitation in recommending David and his team.

David was an absolute pleasure to work with. He and his team made the process as easy and stress free as is possible. And we are very happy with our result.We'd definitely recommend David to friends and family

SaleDavid 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.

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.RentalDavid 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 as seller's agent looked after his client well, but also made sure that as buyers we were fully informed on the market & the property. Any Q was always handled promptly & fully explained.

David Murphy recently sold us an apartment and has now sold our house in 6 days!!Both deals were handled very professionally with much consideration to our requirements.We would highly recommend David whether you are a buyer or a seller.Well done David.

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.

As a Buyers Agent, it is always a challenge and a pleasure dealing with David. David always works hard for his vendors and it is never an easy negotiation, in saying that, he and Joann are always very pleasant and professional to deal with. My clients were very happy with their purchase and I believe it is another win/win for both my purchasers and David's vendors.

David Murphy Real Estate are a fantastic, no spin team. So down to earth but well researched and thoroughly accurate in their market appraisal and eventual smooth sale.Highly Recommended.

I am a buyer's agent, David is a very calm man as a sales agent. He is always trying to make everything under control, unlike other agents I talked with, he does not speak too much, but try to keep the pace very steady even during the negotiation. I feel lucky for his client. and all the best to you and your team.

I purchased an apartment through David Murphy real estate and I found David to be a very clear communicator and I was impressed that he responded swiftly to my requests and followed through with actions that were consistent with the negotiated purchase agreement reached. (ie, he did what he said he would do.) David impressed me as a good listener and an agent with a genuine professional approach.

David and his team helped us put our best foot forward in selling our apartment, including pre-market advice on work to do in preparation and styling. David had initially sold the apartment to us almost 8 years ago and his advice and support from the buying side made us reach out again when we were ready to sell. It was a tough market during the time we were selling but David's experience and open and honest approach helped us get a good result.

David Murphy did an outstanding job in selling our property. We were very impressed with his negotiating skills with prospective purchasers and he kept us informed every step of the way. We would highly recommend using him.

We found David Murphy to be fantastic throughout the entire sale process, from getting the house ready for inspections, to constant communications with us about the market, potential buyers and strategy review. At all times he was honest, clear and consultative and we felt a high level of trust with him.

Joann & David were both fantastic during the buying process. Timely & clear communication were key. I would have no hesitation in dealing with Joann & David again in the future.

From start to sale, Joann proved herself to be most professional. Did we expect to sell within one week from the first open house, NO WAY, and yet we got a sale price way above our expectations. Couldn't ask for a better result.

Joann was professional, helpful and a key player in the sale of our house. Would recommend her to anyone thinking of selling

It is always a pleasure dealing with Joann. She has a lovely manner, always friendly and personable, professional and extremely persistent. I would have no hesitation recommending her to sell property.

Very honest and trustworthy

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

Joann was a thoroughly professional and a calming presence throughout our house sale. Nothing was too difficult and she was able to assist us getting the house ready for inspection quickly and effectively. She and David worked well together as a seamless team and we felt confident that our best interests were being looked after at all times. She gave her honest opinion about any situation in a considered and measured way. I could not recommend her more highly.

David was a stable presence throughout our house sale, giving unbiased and considered advice. He was skilled at presenting all the options open to us with clarity, quick to report back and always available to discuss our concerns. I felt he had our best interests at heart and left us feeling we had achieved the very best possible outcome in the current market. His team were also across every detail of our house sale and could not have been more helpful. In short, if you’re looking for someone with solid experience, total integrity and very good at his job, look no further.

I would like to record what a pleasure it was to work with David Murphy Real Estate.David and Joanne displayed a remarkable insight and knowledge of the market in Mosman and a determined approach to selling and achieved a satisfactory result for the sale of my property. A confident and efficient front office staff and detailed follow -up made working with the team a a memorable and seamless operation.

David was great to deal with. As an international buyer his knowledge of the market and area was outstanding. His communication and transparency built immediate trust and ultimately made the negotiation a pleasure to undertake. I've given David and his team the responsibility of selling my other property on the back of the way he handled my purchase. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to avoid the big corporate agencies and are looking for a more personal approach.

Always a pleasure to deal with, nothing is too much. Helped us review several properties and ultimately our family home!

We spent two years buying a house. Throughout this time David never lost the faith, was patient and professional throughout and seemed to make it a personal mission to sell us a house. He was successful in the end.

As soon as I met David, I knew he was the agent for us. A professional and experienced operator, he was down to earth, understanding of our situation and had my confidence immediately. His knowledge of the market was outstanding, and he had a clear strategy for the sale of our property, whilst also having a solid plan B if things didn’t go as expected. David runs a great team at David Murphy Real Estate, and I cannot speak highly enough of all of them. I would happily recommend David and his team - you won’t be disappointed with their great service, professionalism and down to earth approach.

David is incredibly professional and efficient to deal with. As buyers he was honest with us from the very beginning and made the sales process seamless. Highly recommend David Murphy Real Estate!

Joann was a huge help with the sale of our deceased estate. In addition to her outstanding knowledge of the market, professionalism and experience, she made the whole process seamless, guiding us through this with ease. Nothing was a problem, and she was an absolute pleasure to deal with every step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Joann.

David Murphy sold my two-bedroom apartment in November 2017. The apartment had been my home for 13 years but I needed to sell it to buy a place on the South Coast with my partner. The timing wasn't ideal - being so close to Christmas and it would have been very risky to try to sell it after the New Year given I had to settle on my new property in early March. I also had a tenant living in there so I had to rely on the tenant to present the apartment well. David kept me up to date along the way. He was great at explaining the situation, the number of people who had inspected the apartment, which ones were the most likely purchasers and their circumstances and opinion of the property. He also did a great job with negotiating with the eventual buyers. I would say that he did a great job in a market that was starting to soften and in the run up to Christmas. Nothing was too much trouble for David and Joann.

David has a strong reputation because he "tells it like it is", which isn't always the case in real estate but is definitely in the interests of a genuine vendor. He was on annual leave during the negotiation phase but was helpful prior to that in regards to buyer strategy in a non-auction campaign. He has surrounded himself with a very personable and professional staff who are a credit to him. Well done David!

Joann is a very warm and approachable agent and as such was invaluable to her vendor in securing us as buyers. All our enquiries were handled promptly and efficiently, from first contact right through to the day before completion when Joann was instrumental in getting important information released. In negotiating she knew how to be tough without alienating the buyer! Well done Jo ?

I highly recommend David, l like the fact that he never pressured me on any decision that I needed to make. He gave me the pros & cons so I could make my decision on how I would like to sell my unit. David kept me informed every single step of the way. If I had to sell again I would not hesitate to use David again.

Selling our family home was more stressful than I ever imagined and trusting our sale with David and Joann was the best decision we made. David was understanding, genuine and honest in all our dealings with him and the lines of communication were always open. We can't thank him enough and would highly recommend his services.

We are so delighted with the outcome that David achieved for us with the sale of our apartment. From the moment we were introduced, David has worked around our schedules, preferences, listened to our concerns and overall exceeded our expectations. Above that, he is a kind person and an honest agent. Would highly recommend David and his wonderful team.

After interviewing a number of agents I chose David and his partner Joann 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!

Knowing I would be speaking with David during the weeks of the sale process it was important I felt I was given clear and true feedback of the market interest. This was the case and I was very happy with the outcome. He doesn't embellish the possibilities and was honest in all aspects from the beginning.His credibility and experience was a major factor in my decision.
