Hillary Murphy and her team at Village Associates represented us on our recent purchase and quick closing of a beautiful townhouse in a highly sought after and desirable development in Walnut Creek. From start to finish, Hillary delivered superlative and full-service brokerage services. She is a hardworking, experienced professional with high integrity and outstanding communication skills who has keen knowledge of the real estate industry and local market. From day one, we felt we were in very good hands, and that Hillary would always represent our best interests throughout the entire search, bid, purchase, and closing processes. In this fast moving and very competitive market, Hillary identified a quality property that checked all our boxes and quickly set up an in-person showing the very next day. She provided us with critical referrals who expedited our pre-approval financing, and she gave us valuable insight and market data to assist us in making a winning bid. Hillary was a calming influence shepherding us through the sea of emotions commonly experienced in this tight market. She patiently answered all our questions and updated us on the many industry practices that have changed since we last purchased a property in the area 15 years ago. Although the townhouse we purchased was a smaller dollar transaction (relative to the higher-end luxury market), Hillary reaffirmed to us that she gives the same level of attention and service to everyone she represents. Immediately following our successful bid, Hillary efficiently arranged six separate property inspections (general home, pest, HVAC and furnace, roof, chimney, and sewer), with all the inspections impressively completed within a two-day period. When one inspection revealed some minor but unexpected circumstances, Hillary’s depth of experience and attention to detail allowed us to easily address and quickly resolve the issue. In summary, we feel extremely fortunate to have had Hillary on our team. Her outstanding service was the key ingredient to our successful bid. Hillary Murphy comes with our highest recommendation and respect.
Cannot say enough good things about Team Murphy! I’m happy that we chose to work with Karen and Hillary. They helped us get a great house at a very good price, and just as importantly settle into a new area. And they made this big transition such smooth sailing for us. We moved from South Bay and we had to sell our place there, move to Lamorinda, and find a short-term rental to live in while we are looking for a place to buy. We also had to re-establish our support network from a scratch pediatrician for our 2 kids, pre-school, doctors, dentists, dance classes, nannies, and many many more details we take for granted. Well, Hillary and Karen took care of all of it for us. They helped us get a rental and provided countless referrals for pretty much anything that we needed. Hillary is very responsive, always only a text message or a phone call away. I am happy to be a reference and talk wit…

The Murphy Team listed staged and sold our home in Orindawoods as well as managed the purchase of our new home in Rossmoor. Karen & Hillary provides suburb communications with both projects. On the sell side, we received excellent guidance on when to list, pricing, and listing preparation of the property. We sold preemptively at a price exceeding our target to a well-qualified buyer. The Murphy Team exceeded our expectations. On the purchase side, the Murphy team guided us through the finding, offering, and purchasing of our new home in a very competitive market with multiple and significant over-listing offers. They showed us properties whenever asked and provided many potential ones as well. We could not have successfully navigated this market without their skill, compassion, and diligent work. We love our new home and Rossmoor. We know Hillary and Karen were instrumental in our …

Working with Karen Murphy was an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend Karen! As new homeowners purchasing our first home and moving outside of the city, I can’t think of a better person to be your partner. She really listened to our needs and was able to identify the best location and home for our family, incorporating our long list of must-haves such as proximity to BART, great schools, friendly and fun neighborhood, layout, etc. Her history in and extensive knowledge of the market in combination with her expertise really allow her to be incredibly effective. We truly enjoyed our experience working with Karen and trusted her completely throughout the entire process. We credit Karen with finding and securing the perfect home for our family and we are so happy!
