Originally from South Carolina, Murphy studied art history as an undergraduate at USC, later earning his masters from Virginia Commonwealth University. His passion for architectural design makes him uniquely qualified to help people find the home perfectly suited to their needs, or stage a living space in a way that fully shows off its potential.

Prior to his career in real estate, Murphy spent 11 years as the director of sales for a leading electronics manufacturer, overseeing all aspects of the sales, design, and production process, and managing relationships with national accounts including Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Target. As a result, he developed a hands-on approach to negotiating, communicating, and building trust with clients, as well as a strong ability to multi-task that he carries into his work today. He is known for always putting his clients' interests first, and enthusiastically embraces every part of the real estate transaction process-from the initial search to negotiating an offer.
