Over our years we have purchased 7 homes and sold 9, and I have to say Joe was perhaps the best realtor we have ever worked with. He sold our home in a difficult market for a reasonable price while demonstrating professionalism, working hard on marketing, managing projects related to property and sale, and keeping us well informed throughout. I could cite many instances of Joe's efforts and communication but suffice it to say I have great respect for him, his market knowledge and his work ethic and effort.

Joe Murphy and his team are the ultimate real estate professionals! Joe was always ahead of the ball game with the right strategy to sell our condo. We use him for all of our real estate needs!

Joe provided service beyond what any real estate agent had ever done before. OUTSTANDING experience for me and I only wish I was in position to buy another home today as Joe Murphy would be the only person I would trust with that responsibility!

Joe did an outstanding job selling our house. He’s a truly outstanding real estate agent. He impressed us with his knowledge of the neighborhood and the current housing market. He was responsive to all our questions and had the resources to correct all the items to finalize the sale . We would highly recommend Joe to anyone interested in selling or buying a home

Joe is an excellent agent and gave us very worthwhile advice on making our home ready for sale. His knowledge of the market allow us to price it so that it eventually sold in a very difficult Market. Joe worked very hard to help resolve a complex legal situation and when that fell through found us another buyer. Throughout the process he kept us informed and filed numerous extensions as we attempted to resolve the legal issues. We're very happy we chose him as our realtor.

We are empty nesters who were moving to the west coast of FL to be near family after living in the same East Coast FL town for 32 years. Our house of 21 years was under contract with closing scheduled in one month and we had a long weekend to either find a new home or resort to a rental property should we be unable to find a suitable home to purchase. Joe was referred to us by my sister who is a Coldwell Banker agent in Charlotte NC. I had been scouring the various realty websites for over 1 year searching for homes within a 30 minute radius of our family members. He was able to arrange viewings for a number of properties that we had chosen as a possible landing point for us. One neighborhood in particular was quite appealing to us as they allowed our dog and the HOA fees covered all exterior maintenance including the roof. Joe was able to uncover that the HOA was going to replace the roofs next year but at an assessment to be charged to each homeowner of $25-30k! We were not finding any existing homes that seemed suitable for us and Joe suggested that we take a look at a new home community nearby from a respected builder that was offering great incentives for their completed spec homes. We had never considered a new home but Joe thought it would be a good fit for us due to the lower HOA fees vs a condo as well as the warranties and lack of maintenance and updating required and the amenities available in a new build community. We found a home that was WAY nicer than anything that we had considered buying and he managed to also negotiate a lower price than asking and paid closing costs which made the home affordable for us. We could NOT be happier with our new home purchase and it truly is due to Joe’s real estate knowledge and expertise as well as his care and concern for the needs of his clients that we are enjoying a new chapter on our family’s life!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Joe Murphy to purchase our new home. From our initial meeting, he demonstrated incredible knowledge of the local market and truly listened to our needs. He was always responsive, making sure our questions were answered quickly and guiding us through every step of the process. Thanks to Joe Murphy's expert negotiation skills, we secured our dream home. We highly recommend Joe Murphy to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective real estate agent!

The best decision you can make is picking Joe Murphy as your real estate agent. First time homebuyer and the process was easier than ever. Joe will always influence you in the right path in buying your dream home. Not to mention he’s always available to deliver his expertise and valuable input with every step. Just do yourself a favor and make the call.

Joe had excellent analysis of the market and what it was going to take to buy our dream property. When we experienced a few issues during the closing process Joe expertise and willingness to find the solution was very vital to bring the deal to close.

I've known Joe for the last five years having met him when we bought a property he had listed. That experience was unlike any real estate experience I'd ever had. Flawless, seamless, and yes enjoyable. We subsequently asked Joe to market a condo we had to sell. We had a contract two days after listing it. I just concluded my third transaction with Joe and like the previous two, he did an amazing job for us. This is a person with an enormous knowledge of the market and has people skills that are off the chart. If you plan to buy a home, there is no one better equipped to maximize the value if you are selling or to find and negotiate the best deal if you are buying.

Joe is the consummate real estate professional. I have had three separate real estate transactions guided by Joe and frankly each experience has been nothing short of monumental. He will always be my "go to" for any real estate needs I have. There is simply no one better in the Sarasota market.

Joe was a pleasure to work with. He was always willing to help with any request we had. He was professional but warm and friendly. We highly recommend him.
