Lafayette Buyer
Hillary is a delight to work with and she did a wonderful job understanding what we were looking for quickly and then helped us navigate the various neighborhoods in Lafayette efficiently. Her experience and in depth knowledge of the market allows her to be realistic with you but never pushy. As first time homebuyers, we especially appreciated having someone by our side who could help us through the whole stressful process with care and ease.
First Time Seller
Hillary was a dream to work with! From our first conversation, she set my anxieties at ease and was able to lay out the entire process of selling my first home. I was nervous because I was living out-of-state, but she was able to take care of everything while keeping me in the loop and making my action steps very manageable. Best of all, her knowledge of the local neighborhood and due diligence with research on nearby sales made it so that I was able to sell my home within a week of going on the market, and it went for much higher than I anticipated. I really appreciate the warmth and clarity that Hillary brought to the selling process, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a highly knowledgeable and competent realtor.
First time Buyer, 2024
Hillary is truly exceptional! After searching for some time in the Lamorinda area, I struggled to find an agent who was responsive, deeply knowledgeable about the local market, and genuinely committed to working with buyers. From the moment I reached out, Hillary impressed me by responding within 24 hours and leveraging her connections and expertise to help me secure the perfect home. Throughout the entire process, she always kept me informed and made sure I felt confident and comfortable with every decision, never pressuring or pushing beyond what I was comfortable with. Her expertise in the Lamorinda market is second to none, and she turned what could have been quite a stressful experience into one that was enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for a better agent and am so grateful for Hillary's professionalism, dedication, and support. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Lam…

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.
Whether you are thinking of buying or selling, we’d love to meet you, hear about your goals and develop a strategy to help you achieve them.
