 Client Testimonials __________________________________________________________________________________________

“I wanted to take a few moments to let you know I was quite pleased with your work during the recent sale of my house in South Tampa.  From the moment I first spoke with you until closing, you were with me every step of the way.  And that was not an easy task considering I have lived in Connecticut the entire time.  I will recommend Murphy-Matthews to my Tampa friends.   Thanks again.”  N. Neff

“I am writing to commend you.  As fate would have it, I was on a three-week sales trip in South America, but you found a buyer in one week.   And you helped my wife negotiate the sale of the house, which actually sold for more than we had hoped.  Without your help, I don’t know what we would have done.  Your industry needs more people like you.”  S. Oxsalida

“Since I was relocating to the Washington D.C. area, I needed someone who would take the ball and run with it.  You did it with exceptional skill, and your professionalism and calmness during this entire process was a refreshing change from some recent experiences I have encountered.  Your outstanding assistance helped me through a high anxiety-ridden time, and your thoughtfulness from the very beginning through closing was greatly appreciated.”  M. Crake

“Just a note to let you know of our experience with one of your sales associates.  Our first contact was in September.  We had visited a website for relocation information because we were contemplating a possible move from Omaha, Nebraska to Tampa, sometime in the future.  Your agent contacted us in mid-September and offered her assistance.  Thanks to her help, we have found a new home in Tampa and will be relocating within a week.  We believe you should know that your real estate firm is well represented by your associates.”   Sincerely, D. Klingemann        

Dear Murphy-Matthews & Associates,

“Thank you so much for the delicious Florida oranges.  They are much appreciated since its 30 degrees here… and oranges from the stores just don’t taste as good.  It’s always so great to work with you.”     Jim Hill & The Gang at Edina Corp. Services.

Dear Friends,

“Thank you so much for the wonderful box of Florida oranges.  They arrived on our first day of snow this winter, and they were a delightful surprise.  We appreciate your thoughts, fine professionalism and help with our referrals.”   BriarWood Realty Company.

Murphy-Matthews & Associates, Inc.

“We absolutely love the oranges! Your gift was so thoughtful.  Thank you from relocation and all the orange lovers at Ruschnak Real Estate. Thank you especially to your agent for helping sell our client’s house.”  Vicki
