I started working with Julia "The Pitbull" Murtagh many years ago when she helped me buy my first house. We then worked together again through the years as I bought investment properties and then moved my family into a bigger home etc... We did a lot of buying! But then it was time to sell one. When we decided to move out of state I had to face the decision of whether to sell my current home or keep it as a rental. I was actually leaning toward keeping it as a rental as that is the business I am in. Also, this house was not just any house, it was remodeled and rebuilt with very high end finishes as I built it to live in or hold forever. So when a renter I had lined up for the property fell through, I called The Pitbull to discuss my options. I told her I would sell my house and gave her my bottom dollar I would take. She said "NO PROBLEM" even though this price per square foot would be record breaking for the neighborhood. Her input on landscape improvements and pushing me not to stage the house to show off the house itself was invaluable. But thats not the secret sauce! Here is where I knew I was in good hands: When the house sold and I returned (remember I'm out of state at this point) to gather my last items I had in the house I spoke to my neighbors. 2 of them were there and one said "Bobby, who is that realtor you used? You would not believe how many people came to that open house, you would have thought they were giving away free gold in there" another says "yeah the court was full of cars and people for 3 days, your house was advertised everywhere, the paper, internet, and one night I'm flipping through facebook and up pops your house!" So the house sold 50k over our record breaking asking price with people chomping at the bit to make offers. We probably could have gotten more for the house but we stopped taking offers the second day when we found an awesome family for the house and a deal that would CLOSE. This is where the Pitbull shines as a listing agent, it's about more than just the money, you have to find a deal that will close, and when your setting sales records that is sometimes difficult. Murtagh and I have bought and sold together for years and I think that in this point in the review the reader can clearly understand that I highly recommend her services! She also throws a killer party every year for her clients!!!

We were looking to purchase our first home and we were clueless. Everyone pretty much told me that you need an agent who will bat for you and not just someone looking to close a deal as soon as possible. Being an agent for a buyer is like being a fiduciary, you need to keep your client's interest ahead of everything else. That's what everyone will tell you anyway. Finding such a person is a different ball game. In our two years of on and off house hunting, we met all kinds of agents. The pushy ones - who will stress you out, the lackdaisical ones- who will say that every house is great and even offer you a portion of their commission. And then we met Liz. She is the embodiment of the kind of agent who will keep your interest ahead of everything else and she's a great person to be friends with. I had a bazillion questions and she patiently dedicated time and went out of her way to find answers for us even when she didn't need to. My friends had told me that you should not tell your agent the highest amount you are willing to go for a house because they will be too happy to just offer that and close the deal. Liz saved us at least 25k for the place we ultimately ended up buying even after I had told her to bid the higher amount :) If you get a chance to have Liz as your agent, consider yourself lucky and hire her. You couldn't ask for a better person to represent your interest as a home buyer.
