Rob Murray was an excellent selling agent for our home. He knows the local area inside out and was able to present that in an attractive way. He was fully updated on the market trends and was highly professional in all his interactions and negotiations with both us and potential buyers and their agents and brokers. Rob concentrated especially on the marketing aspect of presenting our home for sale and because of this, we were able to generate large numbers of interested potential buyers, both online and through open house viewing. He was very responsive to all our questions and needs, and he provided us with frequent and timely updates during the selling process. We would not hesitate to work with Rob and his team in the future and without reservation we highly recommend him to anyone planning to sell their home.

I hired Rob to sell our family home based on a great recommendation from a friend. He went right to work with me to set a fair price and guided me through the process - remaining accessible and responsive throughout. His team took wonderful photos of our home, marketed it widely, and conducted successful open houses. Rob took care of every detail, and I never had to worry about a thing. Our house sold quickly in a slowing market, thanks to his skills. Rob is creative, professional, and a master negotiator. If you want the best realtor in town, Rob is your man! I highly recommend him!

The recent sale of my home was exemplary. Rob is highly professional and knowledgeable about real estate, and guided the process that resulted in multiple offers for my home above the asking price, and an efficient escrow leading to the sale. I interviewed several realtors before selecting Rob. I wanted a smooth transaction with minimal drama, and Rob was just the right person to make that happen. I very highly recommend Rob. He is a true professional.

Rob is the best Realtor we have ever worked with. He sol our $2 million Riverside house in 10/2020 when 3 top agents have failed the previous 4 years! His website pictures and video presentation are excellent, his negotiation skill is top notch and he kept us informed the whole sales process! We believe every high end home in Riverside should be listed by Rob!

My wife and I just sold our house in Riverside with the assistance of Rob Murray; he was terrific in every respect. We initially planned to sell a year ago, but decided to postpone sale due to the pandemic; Rob was completely supportive. When we had a leak in the kitchen that forced up the wooden floorboards, he found the perfect person to take care of it and all the other problems we encountered over the past year. Whenever we had questions, he always got back to us immediately. In determining the appropriate asking price, his advice proved spot-on. When the house went on sale at the beginning of April, he arranged an amazing video, including daylight, twilight and drone shots; overall, the marketing he provided was excellent. When we received two offers for the house, Rob provided an excellent review of the strengths and weaknesses of each one, and we were able to sell the house above our asking price. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job than Rob in helping someone to sell his/her house.
