Great realtor! Finding our new home took quite some time. Rich was dedicated to helping us every step of the way! I cant say it enough, Hes the best!
I think Rich has a very realistic view of the housing market; he chose a price point that would sell but, not 'leave money on the table'. He also has an amazing network of people he knows & works with... and is able to cast a wide net across multiple communities to get the word out about your listing. I would say his communication style is very direct which I like but, also uses excellent discretion in sensitive situations. Lastly, he is very accommodating and flexible, always pitching in and offering to help you get through a tough time selling a home. A true professional!
I highly recommend Richard Murphy as a real estate agent. He listed our home and was doggedly persistent at finding a buyer. He went above and beyond just showing the property. He is everything you could want in a realtor. Good and timely communication, great insight into the market and most importantly persistent in securing a qualified buyer and negotiating the sale. If you have to choose a realtor I personally can't think of anyone I would recommend better (I've worked with others in the past and he stands head and shoulders above the rest)
Rich was very responsive to any questions and all calls and emails I put in to him. He was very patient and clear in explaining the important issues concerning selling my house, and was always respectful of my ideas and feelings.
I can't recommend Rich highly enough!!! We gave Rich an almost impossible "wish list" for our new home in Marshfield. From the beginning, Rich assured us that we would find the home that meet all our needs, we just needed to be patient. Even when we lost hope and wanted to settle, Rich encouraged us to hold out for what we really wanted. As I sit here in my dream home typing this review, all I have to say is that Rich was 100% right!!! Rich was professional, extremely patient, and so much fun to work with!
Richard is the most efficient, effective, thoughtful agent I have ever worked with. I met Richard at an open house in Scituate in 2014. I was impressed with his immediate follow-up after the open house. I continued to contact him with requests throughout the following years. Richard was patient and responded to each request.
Rich and his associate helped me sell my South Boston condo with the first open house above my asking price. He also assisted in the purchase of my new home in Weymouth MA. It was a smooth process.
We worked with Richard Murphy to buy our first home on the South Shore. Being first time home buyers, we were really nervous about the whole process and had heard many horror stories about real estate agents who are out to make a commission rather than helping the buyer ( or seller). Naturally, we talked to many different agents before settling on Rich Murphy and we can happily say that it was the right decision. Rich is a true gem and a rare find in an industry where there are too many bad apples who are just looking out for themselves. As we soon found , he has amazing instincts and a deep knowledge about the market and the underlying dynamics which really helped us in buying the right house at a great price. Another great thing about him was that even though, in the beginning , we did not really know the area and what we wanted other than the fact that we wanted to be close to the Ocean, Rich patiently worked with us over 3+ months showing us different properties in different towns and astutely listened to what we liked and did not like about each house and by process of elimination , found us the right house in the end . We never felt pressured to make a decision and above everything else, we always felt that Rich was very honest and upfront about everything and that he was on our side no matter what. When we made a really low offer, he would let us know what he thought and when we tried to offer too much , he would tell us his thoughts as well ( even though it would have been easier for him not to ). He talked us out of making some really bad decisions . Thanks to Rich, we found a beautiful home near the Ocean in a fantastic town with great schools. I would highly recommend Richard Murphy and will definitely work with him, should we ever need to buy or sell a house in the future.
Dealing with Rich was a pleasure. He is not only very professional but also a great guy. He kept me informed and involved at all times during the selling of my home, he even volunteered to assist in minor projects around the house. I would highly recommend Rich if looking to sell or purchase property. He would be my first call should I decide to purchase or sell property
Rich is like no other real estate agent we've worked with. He is very patient and understands that buying a house is always a big deal. He also works with other great experts (mortgage lenders, attorneys, etc), so the entire experience is very professional.
Rich got two offers on the first day he had our listing and we accepted one. He went above and beyond in marketing our property with some unique techniques and old fashioned focus and hard work. I would enthusiastically recommend Rich and will try to use him again personally.
I am a custom home builder in Scituate, MA. Rich was involved in all aspects of my project, from finding the land to selling the home. Rich's local knowledge help us market the property correctly. He told me what he was doing several times a weeks and he followed through on everything. He help great Open Houses and his direct mailings were very professional. I am looking forward to build another house and have Rich market and sell it....This property was only on the market for 67 days....The quick sale saved me lots in interest expense....I will be using Rich again!!!
Mr Murphy is a consummate professional. I have had the pleasure of working with him several times over the last year and he has consistently been informative, perceptive and pleasant. His presence during stressful negotiations eased the process and brought satisfactory results to all involved. I would love to work with him again!
In full disclosure, Rich is a relative, however, he helped my mom tremendously. She was moving from the North Shore of Boston to Plymouth (very different area). She had lived on the North Shore for over 70 years and this was a huge change.He took his time showing her many different areas. We didn't realize how big Plymouth was. Rich started looking at various home then at various condominiums. In the end Rich helped her decide that renting would be best for her. He has successfully handled her lease negotiations and my mom couldn't be happier....
My parents and I would highly recommend Rich Murphy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I referred him to my parents who were looking to purchase a home on the south shore of Boston. Rich was very knowledgeable about the market and about homes in general. His experience working with a custom builder allows him to have more building/house knowledge than the average realtor. He was very professional and pro-active. Rich has a great personality and has wonderful relationships, but can also show his teeth when time for negotiations. Rich listened to their needs and wants and provided them with a comprehensive list of properties to view. He opened their eyes to various options. Rich Murphy is very well respected in the business and he would be an asset to your home search or home sale.
