Karen & Hillary Murphy (The Murphy Team)

Hillary was a dream to work with! Her knowledge of the local market and geography, coupled with her warmth and competency, made the process of selling my home a breeze.

I was really nervous about the process of selling my first home, not only because I had never been on that side of the process, but also because I was residing out of state and didn't know how I would manage. But from the first conversation, Hillary laid out all of the details in a very clear way, and I could immediately tell I was in good hands. She basically took care of everything while keeping me in the loop on all the action steps and decisions. Best of all, my house sold far over asking price within a week of being on the market, largely due to Hillary's knowledge of the market and local listings, along with the work she did to get my house market-ready.

I would recommend Hillary to anyone looking for a friendly, organized, and efficient realtor!

Hillary Murphy made our home dreams come true! She went above and beyond to find us the perfect house, off market, with her connections and determination. She stayed patient with us during our long search and never made us feel rushed or pressured, despite us taking a long time to decide on what we really wanted. Her extensive knowledge of the Lamorinda market, coupled with her warm, honest approach, made working with her fun, easy and ultimately very successful. Thank you, Hillary, for helping us to find our home and making the whole process painless and even enjoyable!

While my husband and I knew we eventually wanted to move to the Lamorinda area from the city, we weren't exactly sure when that would happen. The Murphy team did an excellent job of helping us keep an eye on the market well in advance of the eventual purchase of our dream home. We primarily worked with Hillary, who was our always available, never pressuring, go-to resource for all of our random questions/thoughts/inexperience, providing us with extremely useful insights and honest feedback.

When a house came to market that Hillary thought was just right for us, she made us aware of the open house schedule and Karen was able help us with a private showing that confirmed this was indeed our dream home! The Murphy team made sure we were well prepared to make a strong offer with just the right terms that were accepted by the seller (over comparable offers!). Hillary & Karen then continued to walk us through the entire inspection and escrow process to make sure we felt comfortable with all aspects of the sale. We are so grateful for their knowledge and expertise in making our first home buying experience a smooth, successful process!

Hillary Murphy was our agent who helped us buy our first home in 2021.

She came highly recommended and was sought after by many in my industry (financial services/fintech). All of whom summarily acknowledged her as THE premier agent for the LaMorinda area.

Bar none.

Her years of experience and familiarity with the specific neighborhoods, school systems, suppliers, and county agencies were paramount in my family quickly understanding this unique market and what would fit our needs. It was not only what houses would work for us, but also what wouldn't work for us that was such a learning opportunity.

She tirelessly was available for us, for all of our questions, appointments and follow ups.

Hillary's wonderful charm, encouragement and drive kept us going during the countless challenges presented in this highly competitive housing market.

Ultimately, it was her knowledge and relationships that fostered literally a small window for us to purchase our home. A window in time we truly would not have been able to take advantage of without her.

My family and I owe her a huge debt of gratitude for our wonderful home.

We recommend Hillary without hesitation and with full endorsement for your upcoming home buying/selling needs!
