The time came for us to put our house up for sale so we could move closer to our extended family, but we had little experience with local realtors. My wife and I are retired teachers, and we talked to a former student. She recommended the Sereno Realtors in general and their agent Mike Murphy in particular. Mike looked at their property and made suggestions for items that would make the sale a little quicker and maybe for a larger offer. Those suggestions were carried out and the sale made. We called Mike; he came over and made his suggestions. We could tell that he is a pro and knows what he is doing. Things were done to the property and it was put up for sale. Within two weeks, an offer was made and accepted. We thank Mike Murphy for his efforts and professional attitude so very much.

I went to Mike to sell my town home. during our first meeting, he said outright to me "I can get you 1mil+ for what you have. Or we can repaint the inside and replace the rugs and show it properly. I think we can get you 1.2m if you do that". I trusted him implicitly because he knows his "stuff". He handled all the subcontractors, the staging - EVERYTHING. Final result -1.32mil sale price. This was the highest ever in my complex at that time. I HIGHLY recommend Mike for your realtor needs. He will take care of you.

My godmother needed to be placed in assisted living. She had no income except for her house so that needed to be sold. We needed to find her a realtor that was reliable and trustworthy so that’s why we picked Michael Murphy from the Sereno Group. Mike helped us every step of the way. He was very respectful to what was going on but at the same time gave us his honest Irish opinion on things. He had a great team of contractors, handymen, painters, gardeners and even a fabulous estate salesperson who helped us get the cluttered house emptied and ready to be worked on. When the house was finally finished and put on the market, we received several above market offers. The sale of her home took some of the stress off as we now knew she had the means to pay for the retirement home she needed to be in. We highly recommend having Michael Murphy as your realtor. If you need someone you can trust, he’s your guy!

Michael Murphy just sold a third home for us so we have a lot of experience with him! Each sale has gone extremely well, no hassles and great results. Mike offers tons of support services to prepare a home for sale, and get the best return possible. Michael's approach is straight-forward and his market knowledge has always put us in the best position for a successful sale.

Michael Murphy sold our rental property (duplex). He was on top of the process the entire way. When I asked him for consideration for our renters he went out of his way to accommodate. He ordered the pre-inspections with an honest reliable team. Some work on the structure was performed prior to selling the property which he hired and followed through to completion. Michael's contacts also created a path for a quick sale. We were able to sell the units without going on the MLS which aided my renters in protecting their privacy and home life. And best of all we received offers that were very competitive with the existing market. We thank you Michael and hope others will have a similar experience. Tim

Mike has been a pleasure to work with, he is very responsive and listened to us every step of the way. He helped us narrow down what type of home would work best for us and was patient while we figured that out together. He has a great sense of humor and also made our house hunting experience fun & enjoyable, we have loved working with him. We would recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for an agent, he helped us find our perfect starter home!

Mike Murphy made the selection and buying experience a pleasure We originally started by browsing buying opportunities, but Mike was keen on the right neighborhood and place within the neighborhood for us. Even with low inventory in a competitive market, he was able to secure a fair and reasonable acceptance of our offer. He knows the real estate business well and has the knowledge to present an offer that sellers are willing to respond to. We worked with Mike as renters, and look forward to continuing to work with him as homeowners.

Mike has been and is always such a pleasure to work with. He has helped my family with multiple transactions over the years and always makes it a pleasant experience. Buying and / or selling a home can be a very intimidating process, but with Mike it was always a good time. HUGE SHOUTS OUT to Michael Murphy and his friendly personality, professional demeanor, and proactiveness to get things done. Do not hesitate, one awesome guy.

Mike Murphy is a superstar, plain and simple. We had a complex sale that he continually found ways to make simple for us. The city had the house classified incorrectly, and Mike got it fixed. We were selling remotely, and Mike got us past every stumbling block with ease. The house needed carefully chosen work to present well, without costing us more than it was worth to invest, and Mike found a perfect combination of contractors to get the job done. Even more than all the effort he put in to keep things smooth for us, we appreciated his experience and guidance. Without being the last bit pushy, he gently steered us to the right decisions a dozen times (probably more) when we would have gone in the wrong direction. Most importantly, he got us the results we wanted. The market was taking a panic dive at the exact time we were selling, but Mike found the right buyers, and negotiated the critical details of the optimal deal for us. We couldn’t recommend Mike more enthusiastically.

We could not give a higher recommendation to Mike Murphy for his efforts helping us with every stage of preparing and selling my recently passed mother's home. My mom had lived in her house for 47 years, and the house needed significant cleaning and a refresh renovation to ready it for sale. Mike had not only a solution for a wide range of problems that arose, but gave excellent advice on everything from the estate sale to the renovation to setting a price to managing the offers that came in - and we ended up selling the house in a slightly depressed market for more than we could have hoped. Mike was a calm, experienced, personable problem solver and we would recommend him highly for your real estate and related needs. Dr. Robert Johnstone

Mike helped me to get my dream house without a hitch! This is my first time buying the house in Bay Area so everything is new to me. I wasn’t sure about the market trend and how to place an offer. He guided me, provided lots of information to ease my concern. The best thing was he helped to bargain with the seller!! So our final purchase price was lower than listing price which is really amazing!! Now he still provides the service and answers all the questions I have even my case is closed! I would highly recommend Mike to those who wants to buy the house in this area!

Aside from all positive skills mentioned above as being exemplary, Mike has also taken a more personal approach to the selling process applied to my house in Santa Clara. Mike makes it his personal journey to understand the relevance and importance of the sale to the client and acts with vigor, organization, and utter resolve to ensure all aspects of the sale are covered and completed timely and accurately. I can't say enough good things about Mike, not only as a person and personal realtor, but also as a friend as a result of our getting to know each other throughout the sale process. Even months after the sale Mike is still helping me with matters regarding the house sale...
