The Address Realty

I have worked with Skip Murphy on a purchase and a sale during the last few years have been consistently impressed by his honesty and integrity, his knowledge and skill as a real estate broker, his professionalism, and his ability to work with people and make things happen. The following thoughts about a recent listing and sale should help understand why I think so highly of Skip. I found him to be exceptionally skillful and professional throughout a long, drawn-out (multi-month) negotiation that could have and probably would have failed if he hadn’t been involved. There were many instances where the buyers were making unreasonable demands and we were prepared to end the negotiations. Fortunately, Skip convinced us that it would be better to counter their demands and stand our ground; a strategy that eventually paid-off in a sale. I also appreciated the advice he gave me on dealing with significant repairs. Of particular note, his proposal that we ask the buyers to adjust their offer price to offset the total cost of a repair saved us thousands of dollars and allowed the buyers to integrate the cost to them into their loan. I’m also certain he made the overall process much less stressful for us by setting clear guidelines about how we communicated with him and by maintaining a calming and positive demeanor throughout the process. I have also worked with Skip when looking for and buying a property and had an equally outstanding experience. I found Skip to be incredibly patient as we searched long and hard for a property that met some very specific criteria. During our search he provided excellent insights on many properties including their features and potential advantages and problems. He also helped us assess their value. Most important to me, he never tried to push or direct us toward a property. He simply pointed out properties that he thought might be of interest and discussed them with us in a very unbiased way, allowing us to make our own judgements based on what we valued. Because of these experiences, I have been telling everyone I can how lucky we were to have Skip as our realtor and what a great job you he does. He is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with.

They always made themselves readily available and responded to our questions timely.  We appreciated their knowledge and experience in the Redding area real estate market our escrows completed.  We never could have navigated through the process alone, and we appreciate the partnerships that we have had with The Address Realty team.

Skip Murphy at The Address Realty is who I've used. He is very honest and hardworking. We looked at a lot of homes before we found this. When we looked at a house he would point out things we hadn't thought about or hadn't noticed. Things we needed to consider. He was more worried about us finding the right house as opposed to just making a sale. One of his hobbies is photography, and for those who list with him, he is a really good photographer. A lot of other agents take their own or hire people, but he takes his own and takes the most amazing photos. So if you list with him, he really knows how to make a house look good. So every time we went to look at a home, we had him take pictures so we could look at them later. He almost always does a better job than the professionals. We were buying, not listing, but I would recommend him to anyone listing. Everybody in town has the same price. I've sent e-mails and texts at crazy hours of the morning and he's right on top of it.
