Jeanne was great to work with! She made us feel comfortable and did an excellent job finding properties that matched our wish list. Jeanne's knowledge of the area was particularly useful, since we are new to town. Would definitely recommend Jeanne to others and will certainly use her in the future if we ever find ourselves in need of a great realtor again!
Jeanne was helpful, knowledgeable, professional, kind, and without a doubt the reason I found my dream home! I can't thank her enough for all the showings, research, and time she spend helping me through my search!! :) I am recommending her to all my family and friends!! :)
Jeanne Murphy is an outstanding Realtor! She is a breath of fresh air. Jeanne sold my house and helped me buy a new one. From the onset, Jeanne was warm, encouraging, supportive, enthusiastic and professional. Jeanne was always available. Once papers were signed, Jeanne lined up a first class photographer. We discussed what staging might be necessary and when an open house would be possible. When buying a house, Jeanne was patient, reassuring when I became indecisive and supportive when I felt that my standards may be too high. Jeanne reminded me that this process took time and that her job was to expose me to what was available in my price range. Never did my opinions seem to petty. I never felt intimidated or rushed into a decision. Jeanne guided me when I sought her advice. I interviewed 5 Realtors before I met Jeanne, and realized that she was the best for meeting my needs. The house I sold dated back to 1820. Although comfortable selling and seeking homes both modern and old, rural and urban, Jeanne's expertise is antiques. Jeanne walked through my 1820 home, sharing with me those areas that needed to be addressed. Petraglia RE, whom Jeanne works for, has a magazine, Antique Homes. My house was listed in it and quickly sold with 3 offers. Selling a house and then buying a house can be painful and overwhelming. Jeanne was encouraging throughout. Never did my thoughts, emotions, and questions not matter. For all of the above reasons, Jeanne is an outstanding Realtor who coupled with her warmth and dogged determination will sell your house, and if needed, help you to buy another. You cannot go wrong working with Jeanne Murphy.
Jeanne Murphy made my home buying experience stress-free. When we found a house we liked, she met us within the hour to walk through after the open house. We left the house and she had comps to us and the offer to the seller that same day. She encouraged me to write a personal letter to the homeowners. The owners had 16 offers that same day. Because of her diligence, our offer was accepted by the next morning. Jeanne was there every step of the way- from the home inspection until closing. Without her, the house would not have become our home.
To say that selling a family home is an emotional journey is an understatement. As the spokesperson for my three siblings, it was my fiduciary responsibility to get them the best deal, in a timely manner, with their best interests in mind, while maintaining empathy for the impending transfer of ownership. We had to maintain the right balance of emotion and business acumen. My business side had to compete with an emotional side and Jeanne had to be always super aware of which was speaking. She was able to navigate good business decisions and ultimately what was good for the family. She did that and more. In any old house, there are unforeseen repairs. Jeanne never hesitated in finding a person that could not only fix the issue, but most importantly show up. She pulled names out of a hat and poof they were there! One might think this is a Broker’s job, to make the sale happen, but she went beyond and would meet those contractors for a preview and again for the repairs. Jeanne showed up for every potential buyer. It was she that was the face of 15 Winter Street. She knew more about the house over the 14 months, than we learned in our 58 years. She knows Holliston and she promotes it well. This home set a record for most showings of her listings. This was not a house for just any buyer, it was the right couple who came along and we know that they will be good stewards of this historical house. Thank you Jeanne for making it all happen. We are eternally grateful.
As first time homebuyers, we were pretty nervous and totally unsure how to proceed. Jeanne was a fantastic guide and advocate all through the process. Jeanne made sure we could see any home we liked, whether or not she recommended it or if we found it ourselves. She always made sure to tell us her thoughts about price and quality while also letting our own thoughts guide the process. She seemed to very quickly understand what we were about and what we wanted to see, and from then forward she was incredibly helpful. When I started to get anxious or frustrated, Jeanne was patient and kind, helping me get a grip and keeping us moving along with the search. She was a good negotiator and helped us understand the wiggle room we had and how to pinpoint good negotiating items. Jeanne could not have been more friendly and helpful! What a great experience!
Jeanne was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the areas we were looking for a house in. She guided us through the closing process and made solid recommendations regarding home inspection and the houses that fit our needs. We would highly recommend Jeanne to any family and friends going through the home buying process for the first time. She really dives into her research and makes sure to know how to answer all of your questions. Jeanne made everything very simple and was helpful and quick to let us know if there was an issue or something new had come up about the house and buying process.
Without Jeanne Murphy selling our house would have been a nightmare! Jeanne's knowledge of historical homes is amazing. Her guidance through the process was critical! I would recommend to anyone selling a home to call her. She is an asset to Petraglia Real Estate as well as an awesome person!
Jeanne Murphy has become a friend. I state this first because I do not randomly collect friends and form trusting relationships. I have been lucky to find amazing caring people to spend quality time with so that my "bar" is high. The selling of an historic property, which my late husband and I had carefully restored, was a very emotional experience for me. Jeanne treated both my home and me with respect while professionally doing her job as realtor. At no time did I feel like I was "one more sale". When things weren't moving along as quickly as I would have liked she had the patience to listen to my anxiety and needs and then offer her own thoughts. Jeanne always left me certain that she would do everything she could to quickly clear up any questions or concerns that came up between prospective buyers and me. Jeanne has made the entire transaction as painless as possible. I have sold three homes and know countless reators. I would highly recommend Jeanne and would use her professional services again.
Jeanne was so patient with us - we wanted to buy the home our family could live in forever, and it took awhile to find it! But she was patient and determined to help us. She walked us through each step of the buying process, assisting and representing us professionally and graciously. Her communication with all the different people involved in the process was straightforward and comprehensive. I'd recommend Jeanne Murphy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Though she specializes in historic homes, which is ultimately what we ended up with, she showed us a variety of styles and ages of homes until we found what suited us.
