I had a great experience working with Laurie! She responded quickly and was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly throughout the entire process. She made everything easy to understand, answered all my questions, and was always available when I needed assistance. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to providing excellent service made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. She helped me purchase the first house I was interested in. I would highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor!
Laurie and Michelle made the process of buying a house seamless. There was no situation that they were not prepared for, and were always extremely responsive to whatever questions that I had. They prepared me for every step in the process and negotiated a great deal for my first house. I would recommend them to anyone in the Delco area looking to buy a home.

Laurie was very helpful throughout the sale of the property and made the entire process easy and flawless. She is always on the ball and will get back to you to answer any questions or concerns in a quick timely manner. Between her years of experience and knowledge of the market, I always go to Laurie whenever buying or selling real estate. I have always used her in the past and will continue to do so for any future endeavors in the market.
After speaking to many realtors in advance of listing our home, we (finally) landed on Laurie & Michelle. This team brings friendliness, honesty, professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise of all aspects of the real estate process (from pricing to staging to negotiating and everything in between) to an unpredictable and stressful process. We also appreciated access to their extensive network to address necessary projects to get us to the finish line on a successful closing. They're a pleasure to work with and advocate for the best interest of their clients every step of the way.
Laurie Murphy & her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were so kind and helpful during the entire process. They answered the endless amount of questions we had, made sure we could see houses right away, and took time to explain the process in detail. I wouldnt have gotten the house I did without their help!
Laurie Murphy was an absolute pleasure to work with -- a very knowledgeable and experienced realtor, I was immediately impressed by her ability to quickly pick up on important details I would not have noticed in my search for a new home. From neighborhoods to house construction to professional resources, Laurie was completely informed, attentive, and in tune with my needs and preferences. She and her team engendered confidence throughout the process. My lovely new home is a tribute to her competence and professionalism.
When we first thought of selling our home, we thought we might be able to do that on our own. After we met Laurie Murphy and her team, we quickly realized how challenging that would be! There was a lot to learn aEUR" we had not bought or sold a house in more than 20 years. She recommended some minor improvements to our home (which we did most of) and also staging (which I have to admit, I was not a fan of at the time, but it made all the difference in the world). Most importantly, Laurie and her team were honest and transparent with us about what we could expect from the process and the sale, and where things would be more challenging. Laurie and Michelle used their experience to help us focus on what a buyer cares about and they were great at appreciating our view but taking the emotion out of decisions, where appropriate. They were also incredibly responsive aEUR" listening to our concerns and helping us through a very successful close, constantly answering texts, calls and e-mails so we could stay on track in real time. I would highly recommend Laurie Murphy and her team to any buyer or seller aEUR" they are experts who take tremendous pride in their jobs and their success showcases that!
Laurie is everything you can hope for in an agent! In short order, she and her team found a qualified buyer to purchase my home for the full asking price. She is savvy, personable, attentive, and detail oriented. From our introduction to closing, she made the process easy and seamless. I highly recommend Laurie Murphy!
I cant say enough good things about Laurie & Michelle! They guided us through both selling our previous home and buying our new one, and I truly couldnt have done it without them. From the start, they made the entire process feel manageable and stress-free. When selling my home, they provided expert advice on pricing and staging, which led to a quick and smooth sale. On the buying side, they listened to what I was looking for and found the perfect new place for us. They were always available to answer questions, ease my worries, and handle every little detail for us aEUR" and they did it all with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Moving can be overwhelming, but having Laurie & Michelle in our corner made all the difference. I'm beyond grateful for their hard work and dedication. If youre buying or selling a home, I highly recommend them aEUR" you wont find better!
We interviewed two agents to sell our house in Drexel Hill, PA. Laurie was the second agent, and we knew from the beginning that she was the clear choice. We wanted an agent who was motivated, but it was even more important to have one who knew the Drexel Hill / Upper Darby area and could speak to its charm. And, we wanted someone who was passionate about the house and the sale. Check, check, and check! We knew the price point at which we wanted to list the house, and Laurie told us (with facts to support it) that we were undervaluing the houseaEUR"and she was right! Laurie and Michelle were impressive at all times. They were SOOO responsive and communicative. They were experts with every step of the process. They had connections to help us along the way (contractors to make repairs, movers). We enjoyed working with them at every step (they are genuinely nice people), and I have to say I miss them in my life :) Choose Laurie and Michelle if you want a full service experience. They are a five-star team without question.
Laurie and Michelle were great. We are first time home buyers and they made the process as simple as possible. Helped guide us thru the whole process . Took the time to explain each step of the way . Laurie used her expertise to help us save money and negotiate in this hot market. Highly recommend these ladies .
Laurie and Michelle were amazing to work with! We decided to attend an open house that Laurie and Michelle were hosting, loved the house, and the conversation and responsiveness from Laurie and Michelle, that we elected to work with them on the purchase of the home. Throughout the purchasing process they were professional, knowledgeable - not to add their great network of connections for everything from a mortgage to a local handyman. After having such a positive purchasing experience, we knew that Laurie and Michelle were our team for selling our previous home. This process had it's own fun speed bumps along the way and every time Laurie and Michelle truly went above and beyond they normal duties of a realtor. Overall, they made this process smooth and enjoyable and we would recommend them to any of our friends and family!
Absolutely amazing experience with this team from start to finish! Laurie, Michelle and team went above and beyond every step of the way. They found us our perfect home in a competitive market, and made it all so seamless and stress-free. Use them for your next home sale or purchase and you won't regret it!
Laurie and her Compass team turned what can be an incredibly stressful, emotional, and tedious selling process, simplifying to the point where it was, honestly, just about effortless. Her ability to clearly and efficiently communicate, including making herself available at all times throughout the day and in to the evening, went a long way in making us feel we were in good hands - because we were. She facilitated every single aspect of the process, from lining up contractors for the township/county-required inspections to, of course, guiding us through negotiations. From the beginning she understood our expectations and goals (timing, selling price), and exceeded on all fronts. The outcome generated by Laurie would have given her some wiggle room to slack in other areas, but of course this was not the case. Her performance from the moment we met to the moment we closed leaves no opportunities to be critical. Dont think twice. Work with Laurie.
Laurie was amazing to work with, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. She guided us through the entire process, from assistance with contractors to pricing, she nailed it! When it came time to negotiate, she gave us advice on how to navigate the process and our house sold for what she said it would in our first meeting. And the house sold in 2 weeks! Top to bottom a great experience.
Working with Laurie on selling our apartment was a great experience. She came highly recommended, and we could see why from the start. Her knowledge of the Philadelphia real estate market is outstanding, and her commitment to her clients is second-to-none. What we appreciated most was that Laurie really looks out for your best interests. She skillfully handled a very difficult situation with a tenant, something she didn't have to do, but she did it for us. We also admire her confidence and persistence. Even when we were tempted to accept lower offers, she insisted we could do better. She was absolutely right - her determination paid off and we ended up selling for very close to our asking price, which we were thrilled with given the tough market. We can't say enough good things about working with Laurie. She made what could have been a stressful process into a positive experience. We'll definitely be calling her again for help with our next Philadelphia property purchase. If you need a real estate agent you can trust completely, Laurie comes with our highest recommendation.
Laurie guided me through my first home purchase. She made the entire process smooth, simple for me to understand, and kept me informed the entire time. Her responsiveness was incredible - no question ever went unanswered for long. She is dependable, knowledgeable and a true professional. She treated me like a close friend she had known for a decade. Even after closing, she checked in to ensure I was settling in smoothly, offering advice and support. Highly recommend her to any future homebuyer!
Laurie was extremely knowledgeable of the process and helped set our expectations. She worked with us to manage this through a long-distance process (we were out of town on vacation when the offers came in) and kept us updated on the next steps throughout the process. She was a true trusted advisor throughout. Highly recommend Laurie and her team!
Laurie and her team were wonderful to work with as first-time home buyers, especially moving from another country (with all the extra complications that entails). She was extremely knowledgeable about the market and ultimately helped us land our dream home despite the competitive landscape. Communication with us was top notch as well as her liaison with the buyers and their agent to negotiate the sale. We are so happy and eternally grateful! We can't recommend Laurie and her team highly enough!
From our first conversation through closing, Laurie was wonderful to work with. She confidently led us through the process of preparing, listing, and selling our home, and made it as smooth and efficient as it could be. Her enthusiasm and knowledge about both the neighborhood and our property enabled her to market it beautifully, and quickly find a buyer who will continue to enjoy and care for it as much as we did. We felt we were in great hands every step of the way. We have already recommended Laurie to friends and family who are looking to buy/sell, and will continue to do so every chance we get!
Laurie was super responsive and helpful throughout our whole experience. We were first-time home buyers and she made everything super clear and simple. Laurie is a fierce negotiator and got us a great deal. She is friendly, personable, and professional. I recommend her to anyone needing a fabulous realtor.
Laurie and team are amazing! Ive worked with them on several real estate transactions (buying and selling), and would highly recommend. Extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and negotiation skills are top notch!!
Laurie and Michelle were a great tag team for me and my fiancA(C) on our 8+ month house search. They were patient and encouraging as we explored several different towns and provided helpful perspective on our ideas. I would definitely recommend the Laurie Murphy Team for your homebuying/selling. They are experienced, knowledgeable, and know how to make a stressful time more fun :)
Laurie is the best! No one else wed have rather had on our side during the process. She helped in finding the property and in negotiating fair terms for closing .
From start to finish Laurie was amazing!! She made the entire process so easy. We had been looking for so long prior to working with Laurie that we were giving up hope, unsure if anything would work out. Within weeks of working with Laurie she had us under contract. Itd be a mistake to work with anyone else but Laurie and her team!
Laurie and her team (we worked with Michelle often!) were an incredibly huge asset to us in one of the craziest home buying markets in recent times. They were upfront and honest with making offers and more than accommodating to take us on tours the days houses popped up. We felt comfortable with them talking like we were friends but knew they had our best interests intact. I cant recommend Laurie and her team enough!
INCREDIBLE! In what people are calling a terrible buyers market, Laurie & team made ALL the right moves to ensure we kept our offer(s) competitive and realistic - making both buying and selling a seamless process. We worked in lock step, with constant communication with the team - not only on the purchase of our new home, but the sale of our previous home. The offer on our new home was accepted in 2 days and within 4 business day, our previous home had pictures taken, listing posted, 20+ showings, an open house, countless offers, and finally (and most importantly) we were under contract with a 30 day close - which was everything we needed to ensure we were tidied up for settlement on our new home. The team supported us in accepting the strongest offer which not only exceeded asking price, but also our expectations. Professional. Experts. Best In Class. Laurie and Team are the only choice when selecting an agent to represent you in this market. 100000/10 would recommend to any and all that are buying and selling. Endless thanks to Laurie, Michelle & team!
Laurie and Michelle are AMAZING at everything they do. Laurie's suggestions for the most cost-effective improvements and recommendations for contractors saved us a ton of money AND got us top-dollar when we sold almost 20k over asking IN THREE DAYS! Laurie and Michelle went above and beyond anything we ever could have expected with helping us find our new home, advising us on making a creative offer that got us our dream home for 10k less than asking, as well as a refund from the sellers when they didn't complete agreed-upon repairs. All of this with a blunt, funny, helpful demeanor, an incredible amount of patience with our indecisiveness and disorganization, and even helped with our babies during showings. They also spent about 14 hours at the settlement table when our buyers showed up 6K short, avoiding a huge transfer tax that was going into effect the next day. Literally no one better than the Laurie Murphy Team.
Laurie Murphy and her team are AMAZING! Thanks to Laurie and Michelle my husband and we found our perfect home. Both Laurie and Michelle were extremely knowledgeable and super helpful with all our questions and concerns, and always available when we needed any help. Great team, keep up the good work ladies! Would definitely recommend and would definitely use for any future home purchases.
I cant recommend the Laurie Murphy Team enough for the home buying process. As a first time home buyer who didnt know where to start, Laurie took the time to explain every step and answer any and all questions. She and Michelle were extremely knowledgeable and available, with great recommendations for inspection and closing that saved me a ton of money and aggregation. I will without a doubt use Laurie and Michelle again in future home purchases!
Wow! Laurie and Michelle made selling our home a breeze! They were professional and personal. They even helped us find a new apartment! Their negotiating skills got us the best possible price for our home- in 5 days!These women answered all of our questions and concerns and never made us feel uncomfortable in any way. They were able to recommend other excellent professionals as well: electricians, concrete guys, junk removers, etc. Laurie and her team made the entire process stress and worry free!
Laurie is a talented, detailed, knowledgeable and to be trusted real estate professional that I, and my family, have used for many purchase and selling real estate transactions. She and her team are responsive and always keep their clients' needs in mind, offering professional advice when requested or needed along the entire journey.I highly recommend reaching out to Laurie with any real estate needs if you want to be completely satisfied with your experience.
This process of the sale of our house went off without a hitch. Laurie was a complete professional and made this process go smoothly and was always there to answer our questions. Could not have asked for a better agent.
Overall experience working with Laurie Murphy and her team at Compass Realty was exceptional. Very professional and on the ball throughout the whole process from offer accepted all the way to settlement. Laurie and her team keep you up to date with everything going on and will help you with any questions or concerns you may have by responding to any calls,texts, or emails in a quick timely manner. Would highly recommend working with Laurie as it could have not gone any smoother.
This is my very high letter of recommendation and gratitude for The Laurie Murphy Team. Laurie Murphy and Michelle Samet assisted my wife and I with both the sale and the purchase of our new home in the Philadelphia suburbs in the March- May of 2021 time frame. We have worked with several real estate brokers and agents on multiple real estate transact ions over the years and can say with 100% certainty that The Laurie Murphy Team is the best agent/ broker we have ever used. Laurie & Michelle have all the attributes that make the team extremely successful. Their knowledge and professionalism within the industry is second to none. With the upmost integrity, ethics and composure always keeping their clients best interests first and foremost. Our real transactions could not have gone any easier with communication at every step to make the often-tedious process as simple as possible. Some of the qualities we appreciated the most was the aEURoeteamsaEUR? straightforward no- nonsense style, compassion, and genuine personality. Laurie & Michelle provide accurate, detailed, timely information (good or bad) along with advice on how to deal with next steps. The sale of our property was conducted within the parameters we were comfortable with so not to waste time or effort, led to multiple offers within a very short period and a subsequent agreement of sale. The purchase of our new home in this competitive market was surprisingly also very easy. Laurie & Michelle did preliminary research to determine a competitive fair market value of the property, advised us on how to package a creative offer without engaging in severely overpaying or a bidding war, and then negotiated effectively on our behalf with the sellers agent (previously unknown to TLMT) leading to our agreement of sale. The Laurie Murphy Team is extremely responsive to questions, often responding after hours to emails & texts. The attention to detail was excellent throughout the process. Both transactions went very smoothly and closed on time with no issues. This was the second time we have used The Laurie Murphy Team representing us on both the purchase & sales side of our property transactions. My wife and I have the highest level of confidence in Laurie, Michelle & The Laurie Murphy Team and know they would be able to properly assess any situation, determine an effective solution and make the process as easy & enjoyable as possible along the way. We cannot thank them enough and will gladly refer all our friends & family in need of real estate assistance their way!
Laurie is the best! She was our second realtor and the difference between her and our first realtor is the only reason we were able to purchase our dream home. We had a very specific criteria and Laurie was patient. It's a very competitive market where we were purchasing and she was always available to view listings the first day they were available - before they even hit realtor or zillow. When it came time to put our offer in, she used her expertise to craft an offer in our price range with creative non-monetary inclusions that gave us a clear advantage. We beat a higher offer because of this! Once the offer was accepted, she made sure we hit all deadlines in a timely, organized manner. The entire process stress-free and easy. I would recommend her to anyone, and work with her again if we ever need to sell or buy in the future.
This year has been a rollercoaster to say the least, but somehow I am coming out of 2020 with one of the greatest decisions Ive ever made! Back in August I found what I thought would be my dream house. On a whim I reached out to the amazing ladies, Laurie and Michelle of Compass at the Laurie Murphy Team! It turned out that house was less than the ideal fit for me after speaking with them, but so began the journey of finding the house that I am now in the process of making my home!!!!!! This pair of ladies were great to work with! They were fully understanding of my wants in building my search page. They were so patient with me while looking and even when I got cold feet on putting an offer on one of the houses. When my initial mortgage broker suddenly fell silent to my emails, they hooked me up with the AMAZING Morgan at Trident Mortgage who couldnt have been even more delightful to work with! When I found THE HOUSE they made sure I had a showing the first day it was on the market and ensured I fully understood what the offer I was submitting meant. The next morning I got the most amazing phone call and was in escrow by the end of the week. And they set me up with a home inspector that I was able to book that weekend!I felt so safe throughout the entire process and Laurie and Michelle were so comfortable to work with and I felt I could be completely honest with them throughout the entire process. I couldnt be more grateful to have found somewhere to call aEURoehome for the holidaysaEUR? in this tumultuous year and it would never have happened if it werent for all the strong women, especially Laurie and Michelle, right by my side for it!
We can't say enough good things about Laurie and her team. Being first-time home buyers, we knew very little about the entire process of buying a home. Laurie was able to immediately guide us in the right direction and proved to be extremely knowledgeable in the field. We felt that she always had our best interests at heart, and was very patient and honest. We didn't feel rushed at all in our search, and she was always more than accommodating to our requests. When it came time to place an offer on a home, Laurie was always responsive and walked you through every step of the process. She also has great team members (shoutout to Michelle!) who were always willing to help us in our search as well. With their help we landed our dream home, and we couldn't be happier. We are so grateful to Laurie and the team for all their hard work and patience with us, and we would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a realtor.
Laurie was a consummate professional. She was knowledgeable, helpful, patient, friendly.As were all of her team.I wont hesitate to recommend Laurie and her team.
Laurie Murphy made selling my home so easy! Her advice on staging and minor upgrades added tremendous value to my home. In fact, my home set a record for the neighborhood when the appraisal came in. I had multiple offers on my home, with several above the asking price. I wound up selling my home for a much higher price than I ever thought possible! Her expertise was invaluable. Laurie was available to answer any question I had. Every bit of guidance she offered was spot on. Laurie Murphy is knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated. I could not have asked for a more amazing agent. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family in a heartbeat.
Ive been through a few real estate agent but once Ive met Laurie Murphy in 2016, she has been the only realtor that I trust to get the job done fast and efficiently. She is knowledgeable at her job, and dedicated and honest to her clients. She is always available whenever I needed her whether its for her opinion about a property or for a potential purchase. Laurie is a pleasant human being and a dream to work with. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.
There is only one choice if you are looking to buy or sell your home. Lauries knowledge of the real estate market is unparalleled. Not only did she sell my home in 8 hours with multiple offers, she helped me find and buy the perfect home in the exact location I was looking for. From the home inspection to the day of closing, Laurie and her team were there every step of the way, providing endless support, honest advice and guidance during what can be a very stressful process. Laurie will advocate for her clients and will go above and beyond to ensure you end up in the home you were meant to be in. I am forever grateful to Laurie and the entire Laurie Murphy Team. She is simply the best in the business.
Lauries Knowledge, integrity, diligence and professionalism are totally unmatched. She anticipated every possible hiccup and was always two steps ahead creating totally seamless transactions with both selling and buying our homes. I cannot speak highly enough of her! Highly recommend her- truly a master of her craft.
After interviewing multiple Realtors I listed my Uncles home in Lansdowne just before the covid19 pandemic. I chose Laurie because she did not lead me to believe the property would generate huge a huge price and she gave me more than adequate data to support her listing price recommendation. Laurie also helped me with final cleanup and obtaining people to help bring the property to market. Laurie negotiated a fair offer during the covid19 pandemic.I highly recommend working with Laurie for your Real Estate needs. Laurie is a highly competent professional. I am blessed to have met her!
Laurie Murphy was absolutely amazing, and we highly recommend her and her team to everyone! As first time home buyers, she guided us through the entire process, start to finish. We always knew we were in great hands, and felt completely comfortable trusting her guidance. She is extremely reliable, professional, and knowledgeable. Laurie worked extremely hard and followed through with everything, in order for us to be able to make settlement during such difficult and uncertain times- we are so grateful for everything she did and cant thank her enough!
Laurie is hands down one of the best realtors around. I recently moved back to the area and Laurie walked me through the process from start to finish. Shes extremely knowledgeable about the market, and the best negotiator Ive worked with! If I ever choose to buy/sell, theres no one else Id rather work with!
Laurie is hands down the best realtor in the area. She works tirelessly for her clients and my husband and I trust her endlessly. Not only did she come in, tell us what we needed to do to get top dollar for our home, she actually GOT us top dollar - and our house sold in less than a week! But more than that, she was patient and honest during the home buying process and got us an amazing deal on our dream home. I seriously can not say enough good about Laurie. I've recommended her to anyone that mentions they're looking for a new home, they've used her and I know they feel the same. Thank you, LM, for all that you've done for my family! You RULE!
Laurie was amazing to work with and definitely knows her stuff! She made the entire buying experience a breeze with her knowledge of the area, completing paperwork, negotiating with the sellers and finalizing all last minute forms. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor!
Laurie was awesome throughout the entire house hunting process. I really appreciated Lauries honesty and eagerness when working with me to find the best possible home. Being a first time buyer she was there to answer any and all questions I had and made sure I fully understood each step of the process. Had it not been for all of Lauries help and negotiating, I would of never been able to get the house of my dreams! I am extremely grateful that I was able to have Laurie as my realtor because I was able to be comfortable throughout the entire process knowing that she was in my corner guiding me every step of the way. I recommend Laurie to all of my family and friends that are in the process of buying or selling!
