"Kathy and Melissa make a great team. They were ALWAYS available to me. Kathy also has a design background so was able to really help me stage the home correctly. And both of them worked tirelessly to help get the loan to closing when an outside vendor didn’t finish on time. Based on their extensive contacts, they were able to get the house to closing. I can’t say enough good things about Kathy and Melissa. If you are looking to list your home or buy, they are a class act." - Kim T.

"We had a great experience listing our home with Kathy Murphy at Compass. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Kathy suggested tweaks to the house, did a fabulous job staging around our furnishings, and was spot on with pricing. The result was five offers and a sale price well above asking price. I would highly recommend her!" -Pat
