Description

REALTOR, Licensed in DC, MD, and VA. www.DCMetroNeighborhoods.com - coming soon!

About Us:

I graduated from WVU in 2000 with a BS in Business Administration majoring in Marketing. I moved to the Washington DC area shortly after graduating and held a position of project manager at a well known construction company. I then moved on to become a Buyer at the May Company Department Stores and Hecht’s.  While at Hecht’s, I acquired my real estate license and realized my passion for real estate and helping people find homes and helping them create wealth.  Having been a full time real estate agent for years now, I have been able to excel in the current market, where many others have failed. I attribute that to my understanding of where the real estate market is heading.  I use cutting edge tools to aid buyers in buying and selling homes so I definitely have a leg up on the competition when it comes to technology. I can ensure my clients they will save thousands of dollars as I know exactly how to negotiate in the current market.  I have sold several homes in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Washington DC, and homes in Maryland.

I conduct business by the golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. My job is to represent and protect your interests from start to finish.

Testimonials

My husband Greg and I knew that we were ready to invest in buying a home. As first time home-buyers, and having very little knowledge of the real estate market, we needed to find someone whom we could trust that would give us knowledge and guidance as we prepared to make one of the biggest investments of our lives.

Finding an agent that we could count on was the first step and a key factor in our decision making process. We were referred to Shaun Murphy who educated us on all of the important facets of buying a home. Shaun was willing to work around our schedule and accommodate us by being available whenever we had questions or concerns, no matter how big or small. He was determined to help find the perfect house for us.

The process was a very positive experience and we are now extremely proud and happy homeowners! We wouldn’t have traded this experience for anything. Finding an agent that you can trust is key, and we would have been lost without the dedication, support, and availability that our agent provided.

Greg and Heather Guydo.




“Our experience purchasing our first home with Shaun couldn't have been easier. Shaun made us feel like we were his only clients, took us out on multiple occasions, recommended we view properties that fit our criteria and was overall a pleasant person to do business with. We HIGHLY recommend Shaun. In fact, we referred our friends to him and they were just as satisfied.”

Christine and Juston Williams



"When I was looking for a condo along the Orange Line in Arlington, I was very fortunate to have Shaun Murphy working with me during the entire process. Shaun helped me identify buildings of interest in the area and units inside each building. After looking at a few places in the area, I zeroed in on a particular condo. Shaun was invaluable as I weighed the various options and prices. When I decided to move forward, Shaun was an aggressive advocate always looking to get me the best deal possible.

Shaun was amazing in answering my many questions. He always got back to me promptly and with very detailed responses. Shaun is truly there for you 24/7.

As a first-time home buyer, I knew next to nothing about the ins and outs of the process. Shaun was there during each step of the purchase. From finding a lender to working with the seller to get the best deal to signing the paperwork, Shaun was always present and looking out for my best interests.

If you are looking to buy a condo or home in Arlington, I strongly recommend calling Shaun Murphy when you get serious. You won't be disappointed."

Steve



“Shaun helped us buy a house last year and was invaluable from start to finish. Being first-time home buyers, it was very intimidating starting out. We had no idea as to how overwhelming it would be. Fortunately, Shaun was very patient and introduced us to the process and informed us of everything we needed to know. While the home buying experience can be long and tedious, Shaun was there every step of the way, from the loan approval and home search to placing an offer, going through various inspections, and even long after we completed our transaction. Thanks to Shaun our search for the perfect home was a very enjoyable experience and we could not of asked for a better Realtor.”

Jody Fellows



"Thank you so much for finding our "Dream Home" for us. You made the process go as smooth as silk. We anticipated so many problems that other homeowners warned us about, but you made the entire time unbelievable easy and quick. You have so many outstanding resources and have an excellent knowledge of the current market. You helped us buy our new home and we trusted you 100%. We are now happily settling in and are so glad we found you on the internet. You were patient with our many special requirements and kept the communication going strong the whole way. We will be sure to recommend you to any future home buyers we know.
Thank you from the bottom or our hearts..."

Dan and Andrea




"Shaun Murphy at RE/MAX helped me sell my condo in Northern VA and also helped my find my new single family home in Chesapeake, VA.
Without even knowing the Southern VA area or market, Shaun took the time to research properties and drive down several times to scout out homes for me. He worked very hard, and made me comfortable with every step in the process: from finding my new home, through financing, and closing the deal.
Shaun made this homebuying experience much less stressful and much more enjoyable. He was able to find a home that suits my taste and my budget! I love my new home! I would recommend him to anyone in the home buying or selling market. He is such a blessing!"

"Thanks again for everything!"


Zaneta Ferrell



"I was using another real estate agent before I came across Shaun. I was so unhappy with my prior real estate agent. I felt like I just wasn't that important to her. Maybe it was because I didn't have enough money to spend. Furthermore, I felt like she was trying to manipulate me to buy a house that would have been way out of my league. In any case, after that ordeal, I told her I didn't need her services anymore and went looking for a new agent. My sister introduced me to and recommended Shaun Murphy. He was absolutely great. This was my first home buying experience and my first agent really made it a scary thing. But from the moment I met Shaun, he had my mind at ease. He knew about homes and where the pitfalls would be. He pointed out things we never would have thought of. He would respond to my calls and e-mails right away, and even patiently searched all of my home choices with me. I felt like I really mattered. As a client and as a person He took the time that the other gal didn't. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, and if they were out of his area, certainly recommend his website. Thank you so much for making my home buying process professional and enjoyable."

Melvin Fowler

"Shaun was always friendly, honest, and most importantly, professional with all dealings with us. He did not do only what was needed to find our house, he went the extra mile with everything he did, especially getting us the price and closing costs we needed. We could not recommend Shaun highly enough for the work he did in finding our home. Thank you Shaun and best wishes for the future, we know you have a long and prosperous career ahead of you."

The Bailey Family

"My name is Yvette Gaston, and I am proud to say that thanks to Shaun Murphy, I'm a new home owner. I met Shaun through my mother. She referred me to Shaun. My experience with Mr. Murphy was incredible. This was my first time buying a home and he made the whole ordeal very comfortable. There were times that I felt discouraged and Shaun assured me that everything would be o.k. Shaun worked with me for several months, never giving up or treating me less important than any other client. I recommend everyone I come in contact with, to Shaun. He is professional, courteous and kind. I would like to end by saying, I couldn't have selected a better agent to represent me, on one of the biggest decisions I've made in my life."

Yvette Gaston



When we initially began to consider purchasing a home in Northern Virginia I did not expect the process to go smoothly or quickly. In fact, I really believed that we would meet with a lender and find out that home ownership was not in our immediate future because our combined incomes were less than perfect.

Deciding which condo among the dozens we looked at was difficult; however finding a realtor was not. We both had several friends and acquaintances working real estate in the area and did not have a shortage of referrals to choose from either. When I look back I could not be happier with our decision to ask Shaun to work with us.

Shaun referred us to a lender he knew and trusted and, within a day, we had several options as to how much we could afford, the breakdown of each type of mortgage, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and were well on our way to looking for the perfect condo. I laugh when I remember how unbelievably excited we were and how we barraged Shaun with email after email of places we wanted to see. Surprisingly he was almost as excited as we were and jumped at every chance to drive us around Northern Virginia in the pouring rain, through rush hour traffic, and through the two of us debating what we liked and disliked about the places we saw. And when we did find our condo Shaun drew up the papers with us that night and guided us on making a reasonable offer. Through the many negotiations and procedures over the next few days Shaun was always professional, thorough, and unbelievably efficient. We were impressed with his knowledge of real estate law, financing, and the state of the overall housing market. In addition, Shaun took the time to explain and to walk us through the processes, answering every question that we brought to him.

I am still amazed at the speed of the process and that we were able to get such a great condo for a price within our budget and at a low, fixed rate. The inspector Shaun referred us to was extremely helpful as well and provided us with some much needed information and advice on the ins and outs of our condo. And when we had questions and concerns after moving in, Shaun was invaluable in providing us with support and guidance. I assumed that the realtor's role ended at the closing, but Shaun helped us navigate our way through systems and resources that we were not even aware were available.

When I even overhear someone talking about buying or selling a home, or even considering looking into the process I always jump at the opportunity to refer them to Shaun. I genuinely hope that we are able to show him some of our gratitude through word of mouth and by helping others to have the experience we were fortunate enough to have in reaching their goals.
