Barret sold our home in Cypress Ridge. In a down market Barret was a real warrior.
He worked exceptionally hard and just made the sale happen. I would use Barret
again without a moment's hesitation and highly recommend him.

Our home had been on the market for about six months in this tough market when we decided to select an agent who would bring a fresh set of eyes into our situation. Barret Murphy got the assignment. He pitched in physically and personally to stage rooms and accessories in our home while working with his landscaping crew to "spruce up" the exterior of the place and our landscaping. Our home was changed for the better in the first week that Barret had the listing. While all this was going on he created a very attractive brochure containing excellent pictures of some of the finer features of our home. And, adding a new twist, he put together a "movie" of both the interior and the exterior complete with classical background music and copied it on CDs which prospective buyers were welcome to take with them after touring the property. All this before the ink on the listing was hardly dry. Then he was ready to go with his marketing campaign. I won't go into all of that but I will say that we had constant traffic at a time when the market appeared to be completely stalled. We had timely open houses. We had detailed feedback. We had constant encouragement. And, guess what? Our home sold in 28 days. Barret was diligent during escrow and the performance of both buyer and seller during this period was flawless because of his coaching and follow up. We received our proceeds of the sale last week and the new owners spent their first night in their new place just a couple of days ago.
This is my 23rd residential real estate transaction and I can report, in spite of
the condition of the market, it was my best experience. I'd gladly recommend Barret any day.

I feel like you did a great job and now have a better appreciation of how tough your job can be
especially in a market like today's. I will refer you projects and appreciate the friendship that
has come out of this.

We thought long about our Cypress Ridge purchase.
We needed a second home away from the hustle and bustle and we found
one with ease at the right price with Barret’s help. It was great
using somebody who had a wealth of area knowledge and development expertise.

Barret and Jordan did a great job listing and marketing my house. They
provided everything that I would expect and more. Great Job!

As a builder I expected a lot from Bishop Realty. They sold our listing
in 19 days and it was not even finished. Since then we have been using
Bishop Realty exclusively on all or our purchases and listings.

We bought our dream home from Bishop Realty. It’s still a dream.
I can’t believe how beautiful it is here. What a great place to
live! Barret was a pleasure to work with!

We sold our home in a slowing market with a lot of competition. Barret
came in with his crews and worked with us making our home look top notch
and presentable for sale. It took a little longer than we thought but
we got it done with the results we wanted. Other houses that were listed
the same time as ours were still on the market when we closed. Thanks
Barret!

Barret sold us our home in Cypress Ridge and all went well.
More important to me is that Barret is a neighbor, knows and cares
for our community and has been there for my wife and I in difficult
times. Thank you Barret for your friendship."

My husband and I first listed our home in Cypress Ridge when the market was at its peak.
After talking with three realtors we decided to go with someone who promised us that she
would do an excellent job of marketing our property. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.
We received only one offer in the three months she had the listing, and it was $50,000
under the asking price. And her idea of marketing was that we were all working together
to sell our home, she even suggested that we pass out flyers! As the holidays approached
we let the listing lapse and took our home off the market, deeply disillusioned.
After the first of the year we decided to list our home again, and this time we wisely chose
Barret Murphy as our Realtor®. What a difference! Barret knows how to sell homes.
He suggested that we spend money to make money, by having us add additional hardscaping and
landscaping in our backyard. We also changed what was once a TV room into a clearly defined
bedroom, again at his urging.
Open houses with the first Realtor® were a disaster, often there was
no traffic...not the case with Barret. He knows how to conduct open houses, and he
definitely understands how to sell homes in Cypress Ridge, specifically. With Barret
it's more than just the property, he sells the complete package, the neighborhood and
the lifestyle.
We were delighted when we received an offer and sold our home for $40,000 more than the
one and only offer we had received when we worked with the first realtor, despite the
fact that by that time the market was begininng to soften.
Barret is definitely in the right business...he understands that selling homes
is about selling the "sizzle", he isn't selling just bricks, mortar, drywall and shingles...he's selling dreams.
