The Murphy Team

Tom Murphy considers himself an "accidental real estate agent." Twenty-four years ago, he was starting to buy investment properties and had five children about to buy houses. He decided to become licensed to save money on commission. As he became more involved in the business, he discovered that he liked it and took an early retirement from the Federal Government to devote himself full-time to real estate. Tom began his real estate career selling houses in Montgomery County and gradually added Washington to his sales activity. In 1998, he extended to Northern Virginia. He now has an effective team, which provides top-flight real estate services throughout the metropolitan area. Tom has a wall of awards. By 1990 he was selling more properties in Washington than any other agent of any company. Over the next 10 years he was first in sales transactions nine times and second once. In a business with over 3,000 competitors, this is quite a feat. Three times in the 1990s he also ranked as one of the top 15 listing agents in Montgomery County. Tom's specialties are representing sellers of houses, townhouses, condos and coops as a listing agent and providing effective representation for buyers throughout the metropolitan area. He has been a certified buyer representative since 1994 and he has settled over $500 million of real estate in Metropolitan Washington. Tom is also licensed in MD and D.C.
