Client Testimonials

“I had a client I referred to D.S. Murphy before listing their property. The seller called and Marty Long completed the appraisal on their condo with a value of $309K. The seller said there was no way it would sale for that. I told the seller that if the appraiser said it would then they would list it for that amount then that’s what it would be listed for. Two weeks later we had a contract on the condo for $309K.”

“Hello Scott and Mark, we cannot thank you enough for your help with this appraisal challenge. The buyers changed lenders to a new lender and a new appraisal was completed yesterday. The appraiser was not told of our situation and turned in a new appraisal today at $442,000. We are thrilled and appreciate you all so much, we were fortunate that the buyers hung in with us and that the next appraiser saw things as we did. I don’t think most buyers would have proceeded after the terrible appraisal but your strong, factual language encouraged them to hang in with us. You each took valuable time out of your day to help us with this and we are truly grateful to each of you. I am interested to learn what happens with the other appraiser. It just seems so incredibly irresponsible to do what he did and his carelessness could have cost the Kennys a sale and at least $47,000. That is unconscionable. Your efforts and actions were truly professional and exceptional and we so appreciate your detailed responses, you helped at least two families with this, not to mention the agents and the Kennys relocation team and everyone knows it is you who saved this. Thanks so much, enjoy your day!”
