Michael Murphree

Recommendation for Michael Murphree
We highly recommend Michael Murphree at Compass. He was our realtor in the recent purchase of our home in Santa Rosa. Michael was extraordinarily helpful, and he consistently went above and beyond the normal scope of duty - to find solutions for us. Michael is professional, yet very warm. He answered so, so, so many of our questions, often recommending skilled experts – and arranging for them in a timely fashion - to solve diverse challenges - from roofing quotes, HVAC problems, to small and large repairs. Michael was consistently on time, friendly and VERY detail-oriented -- He helped us negotiate $45K off the asking price and noticed many aspects on the paperwork and in the home - that we, and the other (selling) realtor, missed. We sincerely suggest you consider using Michael and his team in your next transaction. We will definitely recommend Michale Murphree to our friends.

Michael did an excellent job helping me find and buy a home in West Petaluma. His kindness, respect, and how well he listened to me made the whole process go smoothly with a minimum of stress. I am so grateful for his expertise when it comes to homes in the area, and for his unwavering commitment to finding me what I'm looking for. He is truly rooted in the knowledge that homes are chosen with the heart, mind, and soul as well as the pocketbook, and patiently helped navigate the twists and turns of the process as I flipped between those driving factors in making the right choices for me. I totally appreciated not feeling pressured. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

I met Michael years ago before he was a realtor through our kids, who were all in the same preschool. It had been years since we hung out, but my wife and I had a pretty good idea of who he is as a person and how he conducted himself and raised his family so we knew we wanted him to represent us. Michael is a very kind and enthusiastic person, he is extremely hard working and puts his soul into whatever he is doing. From sports, to art and to his profession he is someone that pays attention to detail and ultimately outcompetes the competition. I assumed Micheal was good at his job but he exceeded my expectations. It was a pleasure to have him represent us and he was extremely useful in the sale of our home. I was having such a hard time starting the process. It was very overwhelming and he was pivotal in helping me with his calm demeanor, logical approach and confidence. His recommendations for the contractors always paid off. From the pest and home inspections, to the roof and gutters contractors, the painters, the HVAC or even the gardeners, there was always level of competency, a quick response time and they were fair priced and professional. Whenever I tried to get competing bids, there were delays and everyone was so busy it was difficult to get them to even show up. It made the whole process move along smoothly. There was never any issue of communication or anyone on his team. I have sold a couple of other properties and Michael did a better job than the previous realtors I have worked with and I would highly recommend anyone interested in buying or selling a property to consider him first.

After changing careers and having children, our family decided to move into a mid term rental in Petaluma to get to know the area in hopes that we found it to be a place to set down some roots. Both sides of the family are close by and we wanted to be near as we grow our family. To get the kids out of the house, we had been checking out open houses on the weekend to get a boots on the ground feel to the housing market. As a amatuer real estate investor armed with some knowledge and experice I enjoyed meeting several realtors and hearing what they had to say about the market and just simply getting to know them. The one that set himself apart from the rest was Michael Murphree of Compass. While showing an open house we visited, we got to talking and hit it off. He came across as a knowledgeable and experienced real estate professional with data driven objective views on the market and honest, friendly, and low pressure demeanor. Not planning on making a purchase for at least a year, I took his info, shook hands and left. Surprisingly we came across a listing that looked like a perfect fit and my wife and I decided to go for it. Of the 10-15 realtors we had spoken to, I immediately thought of Michael and we went from there. He provided professional guidance to a family, and as an investor himself, a business approach to the transaction. He was able to help strategize and negotiate on what became a competative property. As a people first type of person, he gained our trust and respect and utlimately worked to secure the dream house our family had been looking for at a more than fair price. Through this experience I think it is safe to say we gained not only a valuable real estate ally, but also a friendship we hope to foster well into the future. Thanks Michael!

Michael Murphree is the best! My wife and I relocated to Petaluma from San Diego. This was a very stressful time in our lives. Michael made buying a home in a new city seem simple. He was with us every step of the way, answered all our calls and texts, and explained the process so we could understand and feel at ease. He got our offer accepted, which in this market is short of a miracle! We trust Michael to represent our interests, so much so that we referred him to our parents to buy their home. If you need a realtor to buy or sell, I strongly recommend Michael.
