Kathleen Murphy - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

Kathleen is top-notch the best.

We met her at an open house over 34 years ago before we got married. A month or so later we wanted to seriously tart looking for our first home. Out of all the agents we had come across at various open houses we liked Kathleen's style the best. We contacted Kathleen and are so glad we did. We bought our first home with her. Two years later we sold and bought another home. Three years later we sold and bought again with her. Now 29 years later we sold that home for the 6th transaction with Kathleen. She is the best the best at communicating promptly and wisely the best at fine details of paperwork the best at coordinating with other professionals for prepping and preparing the home for sale the best at advising what needs to be done and what doesn't need to be done according to the current market etc. If we could rate her higher than Very Satisfied we would. We have now purchased a new-build out of the area so we won't be using Kathleen anymore but will still refer friends and family in the old area to use Kathleen. Kathleen was there with us every step of the way and for that we thank her!

Kathleen Murphy is the best!

! This is the 10th transaction that I have completed with Kathleen. I would refer Kathleen to any friend or family member. I know of 3 friends and family members that have used Kathleen in the past and would provide similar positive feedback. I refer all friends and family to Kathleen whenever the opportunity presents itself. Every transaction has been unique and Kathleen outperforms every time.

Christopher Wiesner

The absolute best sales associate we've ever worked with setting a high bar for excellent customer service that has not been matched by other sales associates we've worked with in the past.

We always had the benefit of knowing our questions would be answered timely and very pleased with everything!

W.L.

This was our first home purchasing experience but I know what to expect as family members are in the business (not local) and Kathleen far exceeded every single expectation we had.

SHE IS THE BEST THERE IS!

This was our 2nd purchase with Kathleen and Michael.

They are simply the best. They will do whatever is necessary in order to satisfy all parties at hand. For this purchase the seller was very stubborn and outdated in their approach but Kathleen was always smiles and helped them as much as possible in order to make all parties lives easier. She has always been there to support us after the close and move-in as well. She is prompt has great attention to detail knows the market and area and has great advice when touring. I can't say enough how much they have helped us with this search & purchase which took about a year! I would and do highly recommend them to anyone currently thinking about purchasing or selling their home in.

J.G.

I would highly recommend Kathleen.

She helped us through a very difficult period and facilitated the sale of our brother’s property in CA so we could go home to MN. All went very smoothly under her direction And she communicated with us frequently during the process.

Very Satisfied doesn't say enough.

Kathleen is exceptional is all that she does. She is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate and a delight to work with. She is very patient and kind and a master in the real estate world. The above answers and comments apply equally to Kathleen's partner Michael Baranowski

Outstanding service and Agent.

S.H.

I don't see what this agency offered me that another one wouldn't have.

It could be a local agency, instead of a global one, would have been better and known the local housing and market. I found my agent hard to work with and was not happy with her.

Maria Markoff, Trustee

Kathleen is a "people agent" although real estate agent is expected to be good at connecting with people in general --- after all home buying/selling is a very "personal" big thing --- my personal experience has told me that she stands out.

Her careful listening to my needs attention to details I would have easily missed and willingness to go out of her way (usual job responsibility) to help has impressed me and indeed helped me greatly.

"Kathleen and her partner Michael were just the experienced professionals I needed to help prepare and sell the very run down but charming property that my parents had lived in for 45 years. I hardly knew where to start! I had consulted a neighborhood realtor who showed me glossy photos and the portfolio she would use to sell my home, but that did not seem appropriate for my situation and I did not hire her. A friend referred me to Kathleen who had helped her with selling and buying previously - and am I glad she did! Kathleen immediately recognized the enormity of the work needed prior to selling (maybe without making the house a "scrape" which I feared) and offered numerous contacts I could choose from to get a better idea of how to proceed and what my options might be. She also advised me how to navigate through the potentially formidable probate/sale process; we bypassed numerous obstacles by honestly listing the property as a major fixer-upper and holding out for cash buyers who could see and do the rework themselves. Kathleen always called, texted or emailed me right away, and every service provider she recommended was excellent. You can hear the warm smile and wisdom in Kathleen's voice, and I still like to say she held my hand through the whole process - exactly what I needed! Our asking price was prudently set to sell; Kathleen and Michael staffed two open houses and handled a number of inquiries. We reviewed multiple offers: all were over our asking price; a couple seemed naive or unlikely to fund; and two seemed likely with one "too good to be true". Based on the background checking that Kathleen did into the potential buyers (especially the one that was good but not true!), I accepted the offer that she recommended and remain so grateful that I did. There were some contract matters to settle with the buyer, but Kathleen resolved them quickly and completely. Kathleen and Michael are a great team to partner with - experts full of grace and kindness - the epitome of value-added service!"

"Kathleen & Michael exceeded every expectation we had when selling our Eichler home in Terra Linda. Thanks to their expert guidance on pricing, preparation, and presentation, our home sold quickly and for $255,000 over asking—nearly 13% above list price. In a market where other homes lingered, they positioned us perfectly and secured a cash buyer with no contingencies and a quick closing.What truly set them apart was their seasoned judgment. When the right buyer came early with a strong offer, they gave us the confidence to accept—before full market exposure—because they knew it was the right move. That kind of insight is invaluable. They didn’t just list our home—they showcased it, protected its value, and ultimately delivered the highest closed sale for an Eichler in Terra Linda.If you're looking for Realtors who know how to price strategically, market effectively, and negotiate with precision, Kathleen & Michael are the team to trust. We couldn’t be more grateful. #SoldOverAsking #TopAgents #EichlerHomes #RealEstateWin"
