We engaged David & Joann to sell our property in a very short time frame which they delivered in a breathtaking 3 weeks in an off market campaign. The focus David and Joann demonstrated was admirable and the full disclosure of the process was reassuring. We are excited to move into our new home in a few short weeks. Thanks D&J !!
Very satisfied with Joann and David's service. Definitely recommended!
Choosing an agent is a big decision. We got this one right with David Murphy.
His advice on timing and the selling approach were articulate and understandable. Not only were they in retrospect the right decions, the reasoning was convincing, which was comforting. Competing interests and negotiations were handled expertly to ensure that we came out of the process as happy vendors. Thank you David.
Thanks to David and Joann for a job well done and restoring faith in real estate agents and integrity.
We are so delighted that we chose David and the wonderful Joann to assist us with the sale of our MOSMAN property. Selling is a harrowing and complex process and we are pretty demanding. However David and Joann's calm and wise counsel, their integrity, their energy and their empathy were a sure guide through the process. We were happy with the result which was in line with David's guidance. No misleading selling tricks - just good, well researched advice.
David and his team are gold. They were in constant communication with me providing me with updates as they occurred. They had a wonderful support crew available at short notice for all those jobs that are just too difficult/time consuming for me to handle. But mostly I was impressed with David's honesty and integrity.
Delivering a quick result,certainly took us by surprise. To be honest we have wondered back and forth as to the contributing factors. Were we too hasty ,was the purchaser in a hurry?
Whatever the reasons,we were satisfied with the result, we faced little disruption and selling meant we were able to progress with our plans .
All considered David and his team were totally professional, very easy to deal with and delivered a result that was acceptable in a short time frame.
David is committed,devoted and has the energy to make things happen in his area of expertise. A strong sense of team work is evident and aligned to the wishes and expectations of clients.
David was extremely helpful throughout the property search and also excellent to deal with during our purchase.
David Murphy sold my house for me in only 11 days and for slightly more than the price I was hoping for which was great.
This sale occurred while I was overseas, and I felt that like I was in the loop for the entire process. It was great experience.
We are over the moon about the recent sale of our family home! A Huge thank you to the team @ DMRE for all their hard work, patience and attention to detail. Could not have asked for anything more! 2 thumbs up!!!!
David was incredibly professional and refreshingly open with his communication which installed a high level of confidence and comfort for us throughout the sales process.
David has the knowledge, personality, experience, is back by professional team and most importantly get results. David goes the extra mile and really thinks outside the square. All David's past & present clients speak very highly of their experiences with David and after dealing with him now for a few years I understand why. A credit to the industry.
It was a delight to work with David and his team. They were very helpful and transparent about the process and always knowledgable about the property and the surroundings. I can highly recommend working with them
We engaged David to sell our property in Mosman in late 2015.
David did a wonderful job from start to finish in completing the sale of our house at a price we were happy with after a three week campaign.
David was an open and honest communicator from day one and I would certainly recommend engaging him to anyone currently thinking about selling their property.
has been a very efficient agent,but also very understanding of my needs.
David was absolutely great to deal with. He accommodated our requests as best possible, was easy to talk to and open in his communication. Anyone I have spoken to who has dealt with him has had a fantastic experience in the often stressful situation of buying or selling.
After 10 years abroad my wife and I returned to Sydney, and were unsuccessful purchasing 2 properties at auction. We quickly found that it was difficult to get transparency around price.
In contrast, David and Joanna were a pleasure to deal with and transparent about the vendors price expectation on the property, which we we ultimately bought as a result.
David and Joanna went out of their way to make themselves available for all our questions and viewings, and I would not hesitate to recomend David Murphy Real Estate whether looking to buy or sell a property.
David did a great job, didn't play games,always communicated well and returned calls and emails promptly. A rare breed in the agency world.
David kept us well informed about the state of negotiations and eventually achieved a good result in a difficult situation.
David helped us find a new house and settle on it quickly. He is helping me sell my old house and pays a lot of attention to detail. He and his staff are in constant communication with us.
I was impressed by your attention to the presentation of the house and your assistance facilitating negotiations.
Your agency team were wonderful.
The gifts after exchange and settlement were unexpected and appreciated.
We recently bought our dream house from David Murphy Real Estate. David and his team were an absolute pleasure to deal with! Honest, Reliable, Efficient and Trustworthy! We couldn't have asked for anything else! Thank you DMRE for turning our dream into a reality!!!!
David Murphy and his competent team were even better than we expected after having been recommended to us by other satisfied clients. We could not have been happier with every facet of the sale of our property.
I found David very good to deal with. He made himself available and gave honest feedback working towards a mutually agreeable result.
We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending David Murphy Real Estate. He, and all his team, are true professionals who handled every aspect of our sale from the very first meeting with fantastic advice, honesty, feedback and humour (very important when one is selling their loved family home). No job or query was too small and their interaction didn't stop when the "Sold" sign was applied.
David was an excellent agent, always enthusiastic and giving a clear picture of the property to the potential buyer.
David is a reliable, efficient and effective agent. Nice work!
Honest, trustworthy and a friend! Thank you for making the experience of selling our home and purchasing another as stress free and as lucrative as possible!
David Murphy is the best agent we have ever used, having bought and sold several times. His intelligence, straight talking, flexibility and regular updates made for a very smooth process. We had several offers around the same price point and whilst these were a little lower than we originally hoped for, with a definite weakening across the market we were very confident he brought us the best possible offer. Having had a career involving a lot of negotiation myself, I am a pretty tough customer: I sought extensive word of mouth feedback and met with five agencies up front. I am glad I selected David and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Buying off market worked for us and I am confident worked for the seller too.
David met with us to understand our needs and objectives soon after we had registered on his website. Within a few weeks he called us to say that he had a property that met most of our criteria. Bingo! Without the stress often associated with finding and buying a property, we had found our new home.

As we had not sold any property for around 25 years we were not looking forward to the experience. David and the girls gave valuable advice making the whole process much easier. Our house sold quickly with minimal fuss and for considerably more than we were expecting. We would highly recommend David's agency.
The team at David Murphy Real Estate provide an outstanding and attentive service experience. What sets them apart is their honesty and integrity. The reality of a sales process is that sometimes people often just tell u what you want to hear. David does not shy away from giving you the facts even at moments in the process when you might not want to hear them but need to hear them. This is something our family very much appreciated and is why we will not only be recommending his services but will be using him to sell our other property.
David was our choice because he is well known to many friends and family for being a highly professional, intelligent, trustworthy and client focussed local agent.
What impressed from the outset was that he listened to our views and tailored the campaign to meet our needs. He did not arrive with a pre-designed glossy package but planned the campaign to fit our particular circumstances and goals. Throughout the campaign he was personally available to provide regular feedback. He adjusted the campaign strategy in response to changing circumstances and he was mindful of keeping the campaign costs down.
The added value we received from DMRE came from David's team. Joann is a gem and she followed up on every enquiry and request. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you also to Heidi and other team members who assisted us.
Well done team!
Carol Carrigan
David and staff were very professional and friendly at a time when there are stresses selling your main asset ,I can only recommend the whole team.
thanks David and the whole team
Dear David and Joann
Once again I just wanted to thank you for the amazing job you did in the sale of my apartment. Not only was your expert advice and guidance truly appreciated but your skills to secure the highest possible price were brilliant. I was very pleased with the overall outcome and for all the work both you and Joann did in arranging quotes. This was especially helpful and took a great deal of stress out of the selling process for me. Regards Ant Serventi
We have purchased multiple properties in London, America and Sydney. It is rare that someone surpasses your expectations. But with David Murphy Real Estate that is exactly what you get. Service beyond your expectation even after you have exchanged. Having recently relocated from London to Mosman, despite endless research, we felt out of touch with the local market. David's market knowledge was savvy and invaluable. David and Joann put up with all of our questions, they were available 7 days a week and were very accommodating at arranging inspections to suit our availability. They were honest, personable and efficient throughout the whole process which made buying a relaxing experience. No game playing. In fact we were told one of the biggest mistakes in real estate is procrastination. I even received some decorating advice that could add value to the property. What more could you want? How refreshing to meet someone in the industry with whom we felt we could trust and that acted with such integrity and professionalism.
We would have no hesitation in recommending David Murphy and his superb team of hardworking professionals. It has been a pleasure working with you and wish all the best for your continued success.
We purchased our home with David and when it came time to sell we did not even bother talking to anyone else. David has now helped us sell our home and purchase our new home with a seamless approach. At all times David was honest and professional, he didn't only forward offers to us but also advised us as to what he would do if it was his home he was selling. Davids assistance throughout the whole process of selling and buying was simply outstanding,
David did an exceptional job for us and we highly recommend his services to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling,
Behind every great man there is an even greater Woman and in Davids case the team of Women surrounding him gave the whole process that special touch and certainly assisted throughout the sale.
As a buyer we found David very transparent and easy to deal with. He kept us updated and listened and understood our requirements. We would certainly deal with David again and recommend him to others.
We spoke to all the large agencies when we were looking to sell and we went with David because he was the only agent that listened to our objectives and then clearly laid out all the options for running a sales process to meet our objectives (all the other agents simply wanted to make a quick sale by taking us straight to auction). As part of the selection process I also spoke to many of his referees and was very impressed by the feedback, in particular that David was a strong negotiator and would always act in our best interests. As the principal of his own business we also felt that he would give us more attention than the larger agencies and we were proven correct. David designed and ran a sale process which achieved a price well above our price expectations and I would highly recommend David to any potential sellers without reservation.
David Murphy certainly lived up to his reputation - a reputation for those in 'in the know' that is. People who know David or have worked with him before, won't ever go anywhere else - and for good reason too. David is trustworthy, honest, up-front, hard-working, knowledgeable and experienced. There's no game playing with David, there's no pressure to fold and accept the first offer to make his life easier; he tells you how it is and then provides the pros and cons for every strategic move forward. He is agile and flexible, clear and communicative and respects your goals and situation. Our own situation was a challenging one. We are currently living overseas and wanted to sell our place which was being rented. There was no access to beautify the property and we were limited by the presentation in the tenant's style. As we were not on the ground, we couldn't get a sense of the current market conditions, how the property was being perceived by potential buyers or even be able to suggest enhancements. David took care of everything from marketing strategy to flowers. We didn't hire David just to sell our property. We hired David to sell our property at the best possible price. And we got it! As you can imagine, trust played an important role. We trusted David every step of the way. David's ingenuity, sound strategic skills and market knowledge coupled with his tenacious buyer follow-up and refreshingly honest and open interpersonal skills, culminated in a winning situation for all of us. Happy buyers, happy sellers and happy agent. I would heartily recommend David to anyone who wants to work with a straight up, honest, trustworthy, no-nonsense, strategic expert in his field. And he's also a nice guy too! Thanks so much David! Rachel & Tim
I've recently purchased a property through David and I was very impressed at his professionalism, honesty, humour and regular communication throughout the process. I would recommend his agency without hesitation.
David was always available to satisfy any queries or provide advice to us from our initial meeting to the selling of our property. We are extremely satisfied customers.
So glad we entrusted the sale of our home to David Murphy and his team. David was so helpful in advising us every step of the sales process and we were extremely happy with the outcome! Joann Rutherford was also extremely attentive, organised and her honest approach in all our dealings made the process as stress free as possible. We would highly recommend David Murphy and his Real Estate firm for their honest and high ethical standard of service to us.
After 2.5 long years of house hunting and meeting 50-100 agents, David Murphy was a breath of fresh air. Unlike so many others in the industry, amongst a number of other positive attributes (priceless to a buyer in this day and age) I found him to be highly available, credible, honest, knowledgeable & willing to help, with the added bonus of being a genuinely good person. As such, it came as no surprise to me to hear that he is still in contact with previous happy customers from time to time. With no wasted time & no half truths my purchase was handled with integrity and efficiency. I would not hesitate to contact David again for general market advice and will definitely do so when the time comes for me to sell my gorgeous place. I couldn't be happier with my experience with David Murphy RE, thank you for guiding me through one of life's many stresses.
As vendors, our key considerations included experience of the area, close attention being paid to a strong digital campaign (good quality photography, coverage of the main property sites and reporting) and some hand-holding over the course of the campaign. David and Joann were fantastic on all counts from before we signed on the dotted line to engage the DMRE team, right through to securing the deposit from the purchaser. We would certainly work with David and his team again in the future!
David was highly professional and realistic in all our dealings with him. He provided information which was practical, reliable and timely. His support staff were very friendly and helpful.
David, was a great agent through our sales process. His engagement , helpfulness, communication and all round availability, to answer all our questions or discuss issues/tactics made the process an ease. He has great knowledge of the surrounding area and a good evaluation of the market. He not only achieved a good outcome but saved us money through his advice on marketing and presentation.I would highly recommend his services.
Happy with the result... Looking forward to moving into our new home!
Thank you David and Joann for selling our unit in Mosman.
It was sold in less than a month and David was in constant communication with us the entire time. We appreciate all the hard work and effort!
David recently sold my apartment in Cammeray at a price that exceeded my expectations and that of the market.
He demonstrated a sound knowledge of the area as well as recent sales and market trends.
He was informative and communicative the entire way through the process as well as being friendly and approachable.
I would recommend him to my friends and family and also use him again in the future
David recently sold our townhouse in Mosman with great success and obtained a price that surpassed our expectations. A result we attribute to his exceptional knowledge of the market and his unique ability to engage with prospective buyers. We anticipated that selling our house would involve significant stress and were relieved to see this burden shouldered primarily by David. His team were proactive in assisting us to prepare the house and coordinated many of the services required. David's prompt response to any concerns and more importantly his honest and straight forward style was a great relief and further enhanced our confidence in the selling process. It was a pleasure to work with David and we recommend him without hesitation.
David and his team were easy to deal with, straightforward and professional. They were always available to answer any questions and provided timely updates during the purchasing process. We were happy that David and his team were the selling agents for the property.
Thank you to David and his team for "going the extra mile" in assisting me through the process of purchasing my first property in Cremorne. Nothing was too much trouble for the team or David himself. I would recommend David Murphy Real Estate for their experience, professionalism and local knowledge.
Extremely professional and friendly service. I would recommend it to everyone.
Thank you.
I had first heard of David Murphy's professional & honest approach, about 15 months prior to needing to put my unit on the market. So when the time came to sell my unit, I knew which agent I was to get.
I had high expectations, but I got even better than I expected, David & Joann made it all seem so effortless, and even though I was rather anxious at the start, their approach put me at ease, & I never felt pressured, David's genuine & no nonsense made me realise that he had my best interest at hand, & the entire process was completed in less than 2 weeks.
I found David & Joann very professional & extremely helpful, way over and above the call of duty, right from the start...! It was a pleasure doing business with you.
Thank you David, Joann & rest of the team.

I have found David Murphy and his staff to be highly professional, thorough and personable in all our dealings. David was a pleasure to deal with as we negotiated to purchase a property and we couldn't think of a team we trusted more to then manage the rental of property.
We had the pleasure of dealing with David Murphy on the purchaser side when buying our house in November 2014. We found David to be very experienced, professional and a pleasure to deal with. As a purchaser and non-client it came as a surprise to us how helpful David was all the way from inspections to exchange of contracts. We would definitely be engaging David as our selling agent next time we move.
Having been very impressed with David Murphy during the purchase transaction, we were more than happy to go with David Murphy Real Estate as our property manager for what is now our investment property. We have interviewed a number of local experienced property managers and on every aspect of property management David Murphy Real Estate was a clear winner - it offers a boutique individual approach to its clients, very experienced and pro-active property management team and the convenience of best property management systems to ensure smooth running of your tenancy.
David Murphy's leasing and property management team is second to none. Natalie and Phyllis were instrumental in helping us determine a very competitive market rental price for our investment unit and worked hard to have the property leased to a desirable tenant within 2 days of placing it on the market - what more would you wish more as a landlord?!
Thanks for making the process of selling our much loved home so stress free.
We were thrilled, not only with the fantastic result, the speed in which it happened, but the kind, professional and very personal attention we were given.
Integrity and trust are not often words used when recalling experiences selling and buying homes. David Murphy has integrity and you can trust him. He guided us through a nail biting process of selling by private treaty. We asked lots of questions and he gave honest answers. Every step of the process was transparent, there were daily chats about what was happening and the end result was more than we could have imagined. Our buyers are a local family who will hopefully enjoy many happy years in The Crescent.
We are very delighted to recommend David, Lucy and their terrific staff. Job well done.
Best wishes
Tracy & Phil Mulligan

I have recently purchased an investment property through David Murphy Real Estate. All the staff have been efficient, courteous and genuine. I am so impressed with their service that I have enlisted this agency to manage the property for me. I would highly recommend them.
