As an out-of-state real estate agent myself, I have very high expectations for any agent who would be assisting me with buying our vacation home. I stumbled upon Joe and I am so happy that I did. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the different neighborhoods and amenities around Lakewood Ranch. His communication and response time were great. He was very familiar with all of the properties on the market and was quick to send us homes that met our criteria. He definitely watched out for our best interests and acted with professionalism and experience throughout the entire process. His negotiation skills are top-notch and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Joe to anyone looking for a home in the greater Sarasota area.

Joe was fast to respond, always available to show us properties, or help us negotiate something that needed to be done. He always had a referral for a service needed and has continued to follow up with us post sale.

Joe was the perfect person to help me advertise and sell my home in a timely manner. He worked hard to keep buyers interested and came up with creative solutions to help close the deal. The real estate market has been tough due to interest rates and lots of homes available. Also listed this home in an election year which is always a tough time to sell. Fortunately for me, Joe has always risen to the challenge and gets the job done. If you’re considering buying or selling a home, please talk to Joe Murphy. Joe has helped me buy and sell three different properties over the past ten years. He has a great knowledge of the communities and always available to help in any situation. Always a pleasure working with Joe.

Thanks Joe, for selling our house in Lorraine Lakes in Lakewood Ranch. I am glad to recommend you and your team to others. We appreciated your good communications and skillful navigation of the tricky market at the time, in face of a glut of similar homes in the area.

I had the pleasure of working with Joe Murphy from Coldwell Banker in Sarasota, Florida, and I can’t speak highly enough about the outstanding service he provided. From our first conversation to the final closing, Joe was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to every detail. What truly sets Joe apart is his deep understanding of the Sarasota real estate market. He provided insightful guidance and honest advice throughout the process, ensuring I felt confident and informed at every step. He was always available to answer questions, handled negotiations with ease, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and straightforward. Joe’s dedication to his clients is unmatched—he genuinely cared about finding the right property and worked tirelessly to make it happen. His friendly demeanor and no-pressure approach made it easy to trust his recommendations and feel supported the entire time. Whether you’re buying or selling in Sarasota, I wholeheartedly recommend Joe Murphy. His expertise, integrity, and commitment to excellent service make him an outstanding real estate agent.

We met Joe at an open house he was hosting. He seemed like a great guy and seemed to know his stuff. I had mentioned that I was wanting to sell my house. We looked at a few more properties with other agents but weren’t impressed. So a couple of weeks later I called Joe and said we wanted to make an offer on the house he had sold us on. And his response was that’s great, by the way I was going to call you because I have a work up on selling your house. He sold us our new home and sold my old house. Perfection

Lou Martinez is simply the best! We hired a realtor prior to hiring Lou Martinez. The difference in the service was glaringly different! He indeed went above and beyond what we expected. We moved to Mississippi prior to the sale of our home and Lou Martinez, made that transition effortless. His knowledge, consistency, and clear communication made it very easy for us. I would strongly recommend Lou Martinez to anyone who needs to buy or sell real estate. His professionalism and attention to detail is second to none!

I cannot say enough good things about Lou. He really took care of us. He personally weeded the yard; swept the kitchen floor; put up the storm shutters at the time of the hurricane; Found someone to fix the fence; found someone to fix the roof; sodded the yard; and fixed a kitchen drawer. He never came to us with a problem that he didn’t already have a solution for which was key since we were out of state and managing another home while he was trying to sell this home. That is very stressful. He turned a stressful situation into something where we could relax, because we knew he had it taken care of totally. Every week he sent us a detailed report of a market analysis of what transpired in our neighborhood and in our ZIP Code during that prior week and based upon that gave a careful assessment of what our next step should be. I’m a scientist, so I like science. He has a scientific approach that makes sense. He is excellent! I thank God that he came into our life and into that situation. Thank you, Lou.

This is the 4th property that I have used Joe Murphy and his team. He was able to manage the sale of our property with an extremely difficult buyers agent who had a long list of inspection items. He was able to get the sale across the finish line. He was also very helpful in dealing with the builder of our new home. Thanks, Joe.
