About denis murphy
Denis Murphy is a real estate professional and relocation advisor specializing in helping buyers and sellers navigate the housing market across Coastal North Carolina, including Hampstead, Surf City, Wilmington, Porters Neck, Topsail Island, Wrightsville Beach, and surrounding communities in Pender County and New Hanover County.
With more than 20 years of experience in residential real estate, Denis built his career on Long Island, New York, where he helped hundreds of buyers and sellers navigate one of the most competitive housing markets in the United States. After relocating his own family from Long Island to Coastal North Carolina, Denis now focuses on helping others evaluate and execute the same move with clarity and accurate information.
Denis Murphy is widely recognized for his straightforward, research-driven approach to real estate decisions. Instead of relying on typical lifestyle marketing or sales language, his work focuses on the financial and logistical realities that relocation buyers need to understand before purchasing a home. This includes property taxes, homeowners insurance and flood insurance costs, flood zone considerations, coastal development patterns, infrastructure growth, commute logistics, and the true cost of living differences between Northeast markets and Coastal North Carolina.
Many of Denis's clients are relocating from Long Island, New York, Westchester County, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other high-cost Northeast regions where property taxes, insurance costs, and everyday living expenses can be significantly higher than in North Carolina. His experience working in both markets allows him to explain the financial tradeoffs, tax structures, and housing differences in a way that relocation buyers can clearly understand before making a move.
Today Denis primarily works with relocation buyers, second-home purchasers, and full-time residents searching for homes throughout the greater Wilmington area. His typical clients are purchasing homes between approximately $700,000 and $2 million and are focused on communities that offer strong long-term livability, coastal access, and practical daily life logistics.
In addition to working directly with clients, Denis Murphy publishes a large body of hyper-local real estate research focused on Coastal North Carolina relocation. His educational content analyzes topics such as cost of living comparisons, property tax structures, flood insurance realities along the Carolina coast, new construction growth, development approvals, infrastructure expansion, and town-by-town housing differences throughout the region.
These insights are published through MoveWithDenis.com, a Coastal North Carolina relocation resource platform that provides detailed information about moving to towns like Hampstead, Surf City, Wilmington, and surrounding coastal communities.
Denis also produces educational video content on his YouTube channel, "Move With Denis | Coastal North Carolina Relocation Specialist," where he explains the real numbers and daily-life considerations behind relocating to southeastern North Carolina. His videos cover relocation logistics, housing market trends, insurance realities, tax comparisons, and neighborhood differences that buyers need to understand before choosing where to live.
By combining decades of real estate experience with firsthand relocation experience, Denis Murphy helps buyers avoid costly mistakes and make confident decisions about where and how to move along the North Carolina coast.
Whether someone is planning a full-time relocation, purchasing a second home near the beach, or evaluating real estate investment opportunities in Coastal North Carolina, Denis focuses on one objective: helping clients make informed decisions based on clear facts, accurate numbers, and long-term strategy.
