FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Get pre-approved with a mortgage company first! I have some great recommendations for you, if needed. Learn all you can about the property and process and be ready to submit a solid offer right away in order to have the best chance of getting your offer accepted. Write a Cover Letter telling the Seller what you like most about the home and a little bit about yourself!
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Hire a local expert that is actively selling real estate! All too often Sellers hire a friend or family member who happens to be a Realtor, but they lack experience which leads to a less than favorable outcome on the sale of the property. Be willing to invest a little money into the home prior to selling, if needed, for paint, flooring or other minor upgrades, in order to maximize the sales process. Look at all the market data when determining the price point to market the property for sale. Market value and appraised value will be based on the last six months of sales data. Overpricing the property will only lead to frustration and difficulty in selling. Be sure your agent or broker has a solid marketing strategy that will showcase your property in the best light possible.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I've worked with Clients from all walks of life. Luxury condos and homes, investor buyers and sellers, 1031 exchanges, first time home buyers, military families, vacation homes and condos. We have a wide variety of experience in all areas of Oahu from raw land in Makaha to Ko Olina condos to Waikiki luxury real estate to multi-million dollar beachfront estates in Kailua to townhomes and condos in the Turtle Bay Resort and everything in between! As a Top 100 Realtor I have established myself as a true professional that is able to adapt to the market and negotiate on behalf of my clients to ensure they get the very best value possible from their real estate experience working with me and my team.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I love the negotiation process and helping my Clients get the best deal possible. That is something that I am constantly doing and one of my favorite things about real estate. Getting multiple offers for my seller clients and helping to secure the strongest one. Negotiating a complicated 1031 exchange involving multiple properties. Those are the kinds of things I love to do! There is no deal too easy or too hard to handle. We will treat them all with professionalism!
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
We started managing family-owned vacation rentals in 2009 and everything took off from there!
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Yes, I have a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) as well as various ongoing professional training specific to real estate. I am constantly reading books on personal and professional development which help me to hone my communication and negotiation skills. I have been involved with enough transactions to understand how best to structure them to protect my clients interests and maximize their value on the transaction. My #1 strength is I am highly creative and can always find solutions to any challenge we may encounter during the course of working together on the purchase or sale of any problem. Challenges are simply opportunities to see how creative and adaptable we can be in order to get the deal done! Let's do this!

As a first time home buyer, Munro was the best to work with! Upon initially contacting him, he was extremely knowledgeable and explained the entire home buying process to ensure that I understood everything. Munro was very patient with me as I did go back and forth between some homes at the beginning, but he never stopped working to help me find exactly what I was looking for! With the covid situation going on, I actually could not view houses in person, but Munro took the time to go to each unit, shoot a video-tour, and upload it for me almost immediately. He would also respond to any text or email I sent in record time, and always kept me updated on a daily basis. I appreciate everything Munro has done for me, and will definitely be recommending him to anyone who is looking for a real estate professional!

Munro Murdock helped us buy our first home and we could not have asked for a smoother process. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. He was smart, attentive, very responsive and a HUGE help through the whole process. He made sure we knew what was happening each step of the way. He definitely goes the extra mile and truly wants what is best for his clients!

It is our immense pleasure to recommend McKay Murdock as a real estate agent. My husband and I had the opportunity to have McKay sell our home and then buy another home. He explained the contracts thoroughly and answered our questions. McKay had a professional photographer take photos of our home and recommended ways to put our home in order. McKay knew someone who was looking for a home and our home was the one they fell in love with. We sold it on the first showing!McKay recommended professionals who helped with window cleaning, termite inspection and the other home selling services that we needed. I was pleased with the companies that he recommended and will use them again. The closing went well as he worked closely with the escrow officer and he was always there when we had questions. My husband and I were impressed with the professionalism of the escrow officer he recommended.McKay is talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes for sale. We identified two neighborhoods that we were interested in. He created a door hanger and canvassed these two neighborhoods to help us find a new home. He spent hours walking through neighborhoods looking for our new home. His creativity and sincere willingness to help us was superior. He communicated with us on his findings. When we had an interest in a home we saw, he gave us the pros and cons for each home. We cannot thank him enough for this- I feel that we could have made an uninformed decision on at least one occasion had it not been for him and his advice.When we found a home we wanted to buy, McKay submitted our offer, and our introduction letter to the homeowners. Out of the three offers received, they chose us to purchase their home, and we were chosen due to his professionalism and the recommendations he gave to us in appealing to the home owners. Throughout the home buying process, McKay communicated with the lender, the home owners agent, and those involved with the purchase of our home. Reaching out to these individuals on a regular basis made a huge difference. We closed TEN days early! We never felt neglected or unimportant. McKay is highly personable with an engaging personality. He truly cares about people and wants to do his best for each client. We are pleased to recommend McKay Murdock to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to move again he will be our first choice in real estate agents.Anne Combs

Munro and team went above and beyond. I don't know how I could have sold my property without them. They made it so easy. I have another condo listed with them now.

We purchased our vacation home in Oahu from Love Hawaii. McKay and Munro were the best! We were at first apprehensive about purchasing a home all the way from Texas but both McKay and Munro made the process a breeze. They always provided information right away and were available for video chats to go over the homes. In addition, they advised us on the best neighborhoods, negotiating strategy, as well as lining up all the inspectors and contractors. They never left a question unanswered. Buy your future home from McKay and Munro as we ended up with our dream home! They are awesome!!
