Buyers Reviews

Feedback from home buyers and professional buyers’ agents

If you are looking for a professional yet personable realtor, look no further

If you are looking for a professional yet personable realtor, look no further. Bev was able to hang in there with us as we refined the size and location of what we were looking for over the course of several weeks. She was a patient, encouraging friend throughout the process. I couldn't recommend her more highly. You will be glad you contacted her.

Murray Realty listed and sold the two homes next to ours so our neighbors told us that we must use Bev when we were ready to sell. She came highly recommended and I’m delighted to say that she lived up to her reputation! We live in the UK so it was essential that we used someone we could trust to manage the process on our behalf. Bev went above and beyond to make the process as painless as possible. She handled the listing preparation, marketing, and sales negotiations with complete professionalism. Not only that but she also took care of lots of other things, everything from letting subcontractors and vendors into the house in our absence, making sure we were advised by the correct tax and legal professionals because we are foreign sellers, taking inventory of every single item in our 5 bedroomed house, keeping fresh flowers watered and looking pretty on the front door step, to offering to drop unwanted items to local charities on our behalf. We simply could not have done it without her!

I love my new condo

Working with Murray Realty has exceeded my every expectation. I recently relocated to Florida from Arizona for work, and was referred to Murray realty by my employer. Due to circumstances out of my control, I was on a very rigid schedule. I had 2 days to spend in Florida searching for a new home, after which there was 1 week before I hoped to move-in. To add to the challenge, I needed to conduct most of my search from out-of-state, with no prior knowledge of the area. Murray realty team responded to emails and phone calls quickly and provided several options for me to consider. They were very attentive to finding the features that I had requested and were very knowledgeable about the area. After touring several condos and making my selection, they explained the application process and facilitated communication between both the listing agency and the condo association. They even helped expedite the paperwork so that I was able to secure the condo (which had other interested applicants) and be ready to move in on the exact date I arrived. My cross-country move could not have gone any smoother, and that was in large part due to the assistance provided by Murray Realty. I love my new condo and am really happy living here. I would highly recommend working with Murray Realty for all your real estate needs!

Step 3:

Price Strategically

Accurate pricing is a science and an art in Sarasota’s luxury market. Too low, and you risk undervaluing your asset; too high, and you risk deterring serious buyers.

Bev Murray uses her extensive local knowledge, comparable sales data, and market trends to propose a price that attracts strong offers—often leading to a higher sale price in the long run.

Step 4:

Choose a Real Estate Professional

Technically, you can list your home without a licensed agent, but why handle this alone when you can leverage the expertise of a Broker Associate like Bev Murray? She’ll manage the complexity of listing, negotiating, and closing, so you can focus on what matters—your next chapter.

Step 5:

Prepare Your Home to Impress

First impressions count. We recommend decluttering living spaces, making minor repairs, and possibly staging the home to highlight its best features. High-definition photos and, if appropriate, video or drone footage will also set your listing apart.

Bev Murray has trusted local vendors—like professional stagers, cleaners, and photographers—on speed dial to help transform your property and capture buyer interest.

Step 6:

Market Your Home

Once your home is ready, we’ll launch a comprehensive marketing plan. Expect exposure through:

• BHHS Florida Realty’s listing syndication to reach affluent and international buyers
• Targeted digital ad campaigns and social media promotions
• High-quality brochures and print materials
• Professional photography, virtual tours, and property videos

Our team can provide a comprehensive market analysis specific to your neighborhood and property type, ensuring you have accurate data for informed decision-making.

Negotiations and Offers

Once offers come in, Bev Murray will analyze them with you—considering factors like price, contingencies, and financing. As a Certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert, she’ll advocate on your behalf, ensuring your interests are protected and the final contract terms are favorable.

Step 9:

Inspections and Appraisal

Most buyers will conduct a professional inspection. If any issues arise, we’ll guide you through options—like making repairs or adjusting the contract. Your buyer’s lender may also order an appraisal to confirm the property’s value.

Our Promise: We manage these steps seamlessly, coordinating with inspectors, appraisers, and repair professionals for a hassle-free experience.

Closing the Deal

With all negotiations and contingencies satisfied, the closing phase involves finalizing paperwork, releasing any escrow funds, and transferring ownership.
