Lora Murphy

Lora is thorough, patient , and professional. She will answer all questions and respects the input from her client. I have used her expertise for decades and trust her to do a great job as my realtor.

Lora was wonderful during the entire buying process. I was completely new to the area so had no idea where to live. She asked my needs and interests both with work commute and recreation, and listened well to how I felt about different houses and areas. Eventually I was able to find the perfect house, in part due to her extensive connections in the local real estate community.

Lora made the home buying process simple, even with the added challenge of having buyers relocating from out of state. We did not know the Tampa area well, but Lora was able to find houses and neighborhoods for us that fit what we were looking for instantly. Lora set up and mapped out a great house hunting weekend for us over Memorial Day weekend, where we viewed about ten houses and the first offer placed on a place we loved was accepted. When viewing the houses, Lora truly was our advocate and was great at pointing out pros and cons of every house we looked at. Once we were in contract, Lora graciously set up all the inspections for us and even represented us at the house inspections when we were out of state. We have no negatives with our experience with Lora and would highly recommend her to anyone moving to the Tampa/Saint Petersburg area.

This was our second time buying a home but our first time selling - and Lora was the best agent we could have hoped for to help us through selling our home. From explaining our options to providing insight on the best strategies for selling our home, she was knowledgeable, well-spoken, and excellent at staying in constant communication with us throughout the entire process. If you're looking for an agent who knows their stuff - look no further!

Market Knowledge: Lora always has the answers to all of our questions. She takes time to explain things to ensure that we understand. Sometimes, the answers are not what we want to hear, but in the end she has always been right! Communication: Lora has always gone above and beyond expectations! She is very quick to respond to phone inquiries and emails, and all other forms of communication lines. That's very important when you need answers right away... Professionalism: 2 words: Top Tier. Lora has a network of very professional people that she refers her clients to. For us, the Property inspectors, Home Insurance agent, and even the Financing agent were all outstanding and very efficient. Working with Lora Murphy has been a pleasant and enjoyable experience. We love Lora!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Lora to purchase or first home. As first time home buyers, we needed someone with market experience, and more importantly, reel us in a bit if she sensed we may be settling on a home that we didn't love, which in this market is easy to do. We dealt with a seller (OpenDoor) who was nearly impossible to get a hold of, but Lora knew this was the home we loved and she went to bat for us to get us all to the closing table. When the seller failed to provide a survey at the original closing, Lora was on the phone for countless hours with the seller and title company to get us the survey and get us all back to the closing table. All in all, Lora was a pleasure to work with and we consider ourselves fortunate to have worked with Lora, and we will be recommending Lora to friends and family.
