Sharon Murray

★★★★★
"Sharon was very supportive and realistic about what she was seeing in the market, which enabled us to get an offer on our home less than 2 weeks after listing in this over-inventoried market. Any other house-related needs we had or jams we found ourselves in, no matter big or small, she came through for us!" - David P.

"What a fantastic experience we had with Sharon Murray of Realty Austin. Her experience and knowledge of the Austin market were invaluable as we listed our home in a challenging market. Not is Sharon the consummate professional, she has such a kind heart. With her hard work, we were able to sell our home. Anastasia Duarte also provided phenomenal support during the listing process. This is the A Team!" - Travis W.

"Sharon Murray is a tremendous professional. I have now done two transactions with her in the last three years. She's been both our buying agent and our selling agent. Sharon is thorough, conscientious, thoughtful, tenacious, creative and ultimately, successful. She cares passionately for her clients, exploring options and possibilities to maximize the benefits of the relationship. She sees that relationship as a true partnership. She's always available, her communications are crystal clear and she works diligently to properly serve all the parties in a deal. I am truly grateful for her support, guidance, skills and determination to serve our interests and protect our financial objectives. Do yourself a favor and do business with Sharon Murray." - Steve T.

"I have purchased and sold six homes, one commercial building, and two vacant lots in 4 states in my lifetime. I have used 12 individual Realtors for this transactions-either on the buyer or seller side. Sharon Murray is by far, the best I have ever worked with, hands down. I used her for the sale of my property in Spicewood and the purchase of other lots in Spicewood. I have referred her to dear personal friends, both of whom purchased homes with Sharon's assistance. Sharon is the only Realtor I have ever used that I have recommended to personal friends. Both of these folks are nice but are also very high maintenance. Sharon took excellent care of both of them, found them properties they both love, and both are extremely grateful for her assistance. I had an awful experience with a local Realtor and brokerage before I reached out to Realty Austin and connected with Sharon. In my view, bad Realtors and brokerages are lazy, too busy to personally research and get to know the property and the market. They are too busy to show the property themselves, or hold open houses-they send underlings as placeholders that know even less, can't answer questions, and are not credible. Marketing is seen as an expense, not an investment, so active and creative marketing is not undertaken. They don't show up to closing. They don't assist with inspections, mortgage, title, or other logistics. They sell based on price and are perpetually advocating for endless price reductions. Sharon and Realty Austin for that matter possess none of the above qualities. Sharon researched the property. She invested huge sums and effort in creative marketing with drone video, professional photography, etc. Sharon refused to allow me to drop the price (refreshing) and insisted on holding firm. She priced my property right, and we closed it in a very reasonable market time. She didn't overprice it to get the listing, then dropped it after. The buyer(s) were problematic (we had a couple of them at the alter a few times) and Sharon managed them (and their lesser yet demanding Realtors) superbly. Sharon went above and beyond on open houses, six almost every weekend or another weekend. Sharon assisted with and was present for inspections, title, mortgage, closing. Sharon was completely candid, transparent, forthcoming, and honest. In essence, she was the perfect Realtor. Sharon is awesome, and Realty Austin is lucky to have her. I will continue to use her exclusively for my real estate needs. And, I will certainly refer her to additional folks I know, in full confidence that she will take care of them." - Dan D.

★★★★★
"We were extremely pleased with the high level of professionalism and attention to detail in our recent home sale in the Lakeway area. Sharon was extremely proactive - regularly keeping us updated on market conditions, holding open houses and providing feedback from prospective clients and other realtor visitors. Despite the softening in the real estate market in the Austin area over the past few months, Sharon was able to get multiple offers on our home. We have completed two home transactions (1 purchase and 1 sale) over the past 2 years collaborating with Sharon as our realtor and are very pleased with both outcomes. Sharon has great business and interpersonal skills, is an experienced professional and is certain to provide high quality service. Sharon gets our strongest recommendation." - Renee M.

★★★★★
"I don’t really have enough time to write all of the superlatives that would be required to let you know how amazing Sharon is. I’ve never met her in person but I felt like I had a trusted partner the whole time. Kind, professional, and a peerless advocate. I wish there were more people like her." - Jim G.

★★★★★
"Sharon Murray did an excellent job. Above and beyond at every turn. We were running against the clock due to medical issues and Sharon made it all happen. She was extremely helpful and very thorough! Highest rating possible from start to finish." - Douglas M.

★★★★★
"Sharon was fantastic. I'm a first-time home buyer and I'm so thankful I had Sharon to help me. We all know the market is crazy right now. It's not easy to have a good experience in this housing market, but I did! Not only was Sharon available for me every step of the process, but she has also provided me with resources for renovations I plan to do on my new home. I would probably be overpaying for a home or still making offers if I didn't have her help. I cannot give enough praise." - Brian V.

★★★★★
"Sharon Murray was THE BEST realtor we’ve ever had. We felt pressure to find a home quickly since we were buying a home from out of state & only in town for a short period of time. She was confident we could find a home quickly but also not pushy or impatient at all. She understood exactly what we were looking for and found us a neighborhood we loved. And guess what?! We found an amazing home within a few days! Her professionalism and negotiating skills were impressive, to say the least. It’s important to have a competent realtor, especially in this market! We would definitely recommend her!!" - Jeanette K.

★★★★★
"Sharon is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. Yes, I would wholeheartedly recommend Sharon Murray to others who are needing assistance from a real estate agent. Sharon did a great job for my daughter and her family last year selling her family’s house in Teravista and buying a larger home in Teravista. So I knew, if I needed an agent in the future, I would contact Sharon, and I did" - Janet M.

★★★★★
"Sharon is great. She made the complicated process of selling a house seamless and easy. She was always very responsive and communicated every step. We are very pleased with how well Sharon handled the sale of our house." - Maria F.

★★★★★
"Sharon has been incredible. She knows the area and is very knowledgeable about the market. She met with me numerous times and did a wonderful job communicating and helping me throughout the process.“" - David P.

★★★★★
"Sharon has done an exceptional job for us during these two transactions we have had. We met her when we bought our house 10 years ago. She has been a friend ever since. Help us buy a house in Georgetown and helped us sell our house. I have recommended her to other people to handle their real estate needs. Hopefully, this will be the last house we will need her for since I am nearing 80 years old. Great gal and a very hard worker for her clients." - Howard W.

★★★★★
"Austin and I were extremely pleased with the services provided by Sharon. We both definitely feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her. Sharon is an exceptional real estate professional and person as well. She will be recommended to anyone we know looking for a home in the Austin area." - Tula W.

★★★★★
"I also wanted to say thank you for everything. Sharon made us feel like we were her only clients. When I called or texted, she answered. I'm happy that Sharon and I crossed paths in Cardinal Hills a couple of months ago. She's a pro with a personal touch, and I would recommend Sharon to everyone." - Jeffrey S.

★★★★★
"Sharon has been a huge help in my house hunting and selling. We first met when I was interested in properties in Austin when I found her to be very professional and knowledgeable. I have since purchased two properties (one in Dallas) and sold one with Sharon. She keeps on top of all the details and keeps things moving, even if it’s after hours or the weekend (as does the rest of the team, especially Anastasia)." - Stephen W.

★★★★★
"Sharon is a top-level professional. We were extremely pleased with her knowledge of the area, responsiveness, and timeliness to get the deal done. We had a very positive experience working with Sharon and ended up with a home we love. She has a broad knowledge of home construction, contractors, market conditions, and the Lakeway area. Her communication skills are top-notch. We give her a rating of 10 out of 10 and would recommend her to others." - Kevin M.

★★★★★
"Sharon and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. This was my first time going through the home buying, and she made it a breeze. I would be more than happy to recommend her to anyone who was in need of a top-notch Realtor." - Spencer E.

★★★★★
"Sharon Murray of Realty Austin is amazing! She helped us find our first home, and we are very satisfied home buyers. She took us to many different neighborhoods, walked us through every step of the process, and made sure we found our dream home. We were so lucky to work with Sharon, and recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Austin!" - Lauren P.

★★★★★
"It was a pleasure working with Sharon in our home buying. She was very professional and kept in mind all our requirements, not wasting our time and energy. She showed us relevant homes that would meet our needs and such to our price and timeline. She was not shy about being available as needed. We thank her for all of this." - Itu G.

★★★★★
"Outstanding experience. Sharon Murray provided exemplary service in our home buying process. Highly recommend." - Aaron K.

★★★★★
"Sharon Murray was recommended to my wife and I from a close friend in the mortgage business. Whenever making a recommendation, one recognizes that the person being recommended will, in turn, be a reflection upon them and candidly, could potentially impact a friendship. No worries here, he and I stay the best of friends after his strong endorsement of Sharon and her exceptional service. Since we're located in the Dallas area, Sharon served as our eyes on the street, literally of course, in the Austin area. Not only did she help us reevaluate some of our initial priorities and price points, but she added a significant amount of information regarding existing and anticipated market conditions in the Austin area. Together, we all moved swiftly to find a lot that protected us against ever increasing valuations in Austin, that gave us the views and beauty I'd been desperately searching for while also assessing then introducing us to several potential builders. We'll break ground with our ultimate choice in a year or so. I'm thrilled and grateful to say that it'll be ground broken on the perfect property that has fit our perfect picture. Sharon Murray is the consummate, caring, attentive, energetic, thoughtful professional. She was instrumental in making this happen." - Steve T.

★★★★★
"Sharon Murray has been and still is a great help to our family with the selling of our old property and purchasing our new home. Many thanks to Sharon and Realty Austin." - Wendy J.

★★★★★
"Whatever you need, Sharon Murray is on it! Sharon helped us look at tons of houses before we decided on our condo. She has references to every point-of-contact necessary for the closing process and for settling into the new home. She's super knowledgeable about on-going building trends and projected market value for different neighborhoods. If you mention a house you want to look into, Sharon is on it in getting you a look at the place, immediately! We couldn't have asked for a more personable, dependable, and connected agent to work with. I recommend everyone to Sharon and hope to stay in touch for future purchases." - Angie Y.

★★★★★
"We relocated from New Hampshire/South Carolina and wanted to find a Realtor that knew the Austin area and could right-fit us towards a great area of the city. Sharon did just that. She was great to work with and knew based on our interests, careers, and other factors where to show us great homes and communities. Sharon spent countless hours with us as we spent a weekend looking at homes in the area. We ended up in a great community and in a great home. We recommend Sharon to anyone who needs a realtor who totally knows the Austin market, is willing to spend time together to truly understand the needs as a buyer or a seller, and someone who steps in when needed to take care of the needs necessary to close on a home. Thank you Sharon!" - Cameron D.

★★★★★
"We are in our mid sixties and during our working careers we have gone through the relocation process several times. We have dealt with many realtors and Sharon was by far the best realtor we have ever been in association with. She is a great communicator, she is caring, she is looking out for her clients best interest, and she is a very knowledgeable realtor so we felt comfortable that she was thorough with our contracts and other related issues. To sum it up, she is a professional and a pleasure to work with. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent in this area and if we were to need a realtor again we would not hesitate to enlist Sharon as our realtor, buying or selling. She definitely exceeded our expectations." - Terry F.

★★★★★
"Sharon was a joy to work with! This was my first purchase and she made the process so easy. Sharon is very knowledgeable in both the practical considerations in buying a home as well as the technical construction details; I had absolute trust in her when looking at properties. I always felt that she was looking out for my best interest. She asked questions about and fought for things that I didn't even know to consider. We had to deal with an appraiser that didn't show up, a delay with a water tap, and some other things that pushed my closing back a bit. If it wasn't for Sharon I would have been frustrated, but she was on top of things before I even had to ask and really made it a great experience. Sharon was great about communicating and setting expectations. Sharon allowed me, a first time buyer, to feel confident and excited during the whole process." - Andrew W.

★★★★★
"I have purchased many houses. I have never found an agent that is so understanding and honest like Sharon. In fact, I trusted her so much that the last three houses I purchased she was my agent. She is outstanding, has great attention to detail, and made sure I got the best deal out there. I'm planning to purchase more houses in the future and she is the only agent I can trust and depend on for my real-estate needs. I can't ask for a better agent." - Nam B.

★★★★★
"I don't think there are enough words to describe how amazing Sharon is and how instrumental she was in our home closing. As first time home buyers we didn't know a lot and even worse we didn't know what we didn't know but Sharon was there every step of the way going above and beyond. She came to design center meetings to help us, contract meetings to make sure we didn't agree to something that wasn't market, and when the builder went silent on us for over a month she went every week to take photos of the house progress to send to us while we were away. Sharon was better than we could have ever hoped for and we will never use anybody but her for any/all sales as long as we are in Austin. We have already recommended Sharon to our friends - one of which just closed on a house with her back in May in our same community - and they were blown away with how amazing Sharon was as well (and this was not their first home buying experience). Sharon made both my life and my wife's life so much less stressful while going through a lot of major life milestones (buying our first home, getting married, etc.) and we are incredibly grateful for that. She was not afraid to share her opinion as she knew we wanted it or, when we asked her for it, to be the \bad guy\" on our behalf. We could continue on and on but for everyone's sake we will cut it short. Thank you for everything. " - Courtney P.

"I am not a frequent participant in the real estate market and I would say a true neophyte. This made me quite vulnerable and fearful. I was truly blessed to have Sharon Murray as my Realtor. Her integrity is amazing. She goes the distance for her clients. I am a therapist and pretty intuitive; with that said, what I know about Sharon is that she truly cares about her clients, not just \the sale.\" She became my friend and confidant. I knew it helped her understand the sadness I felt as she sold my childhood home. What she may not know is how much her personality and openheartedness saved me. She honored my feeling every step of the way. This is rare in all people and super rare in this kind of business. She was willing to drive all over Austin, any time of day to meet with me. She would return calls all hours of the day, if that fit my schedule. I could go on and on. What I know is that if ever I needed the real estate agent, she is the only one I would choose. She is an asset to Realty Austin. I hope that your organization understands what a treasure you have in Sharon Murray. " - Katherine O.

"I engaged Sharon to purchase a home and I grade her performance an A+ and here is why: I relocated back to Austin from working overseas and all 7 of the other family members were crammed into a small 2 bedroom apartment so I was in a big hurry. As I have spent many years working overseas on heavy overtime in developing countries, I also wanted a very nice place to live that I would be proud to call my home. Day 1 - We spent 10 straight hours looking at houses. Day 2 - We spent 8 straight hours looking at houses, then had a strategy conference in her office and selected my first choice to put an offer on a home. Sharon then called the listing agent and advised the particulars of the offer we would be submitting that night. Sharon then wrote the offer and sent it out at 11pm. Day 3 - Counteroffer, counter counteroffer, and acceptance: Signed purchase contract 1:30pm. General and termite inspection arranged for day 4. Day 4 - General and termite inspections performed with attendance by Sharon and I. I was impressed with the inspectors Sharon recommended. Inspection reports received 8pm. I reviewed and communicated my comments on the report and then Sharon reviewed my comments and we came to an agreement on what repairs we would request from the seller. Day 5 - Early morning contract amendment sent to sellers agent to incorporate repairs. Afternoon negotiations and amendment signed in the evening (well ahead of the post-inspection deadline to terminate the contract at buyers option. Remaining days thru close - Same level of support including coordination and attendance with my lender, title company, surveyors, sellers agents, home owners insurance. Post closing: I was stuck in North Austin with furniture movers when Best Buy delivered a TV and Sharon zoomed over to my house and accepted the delivery on my behalf. Sharon also wrote a sublease to my sister-in-law at my new house (which is legit) so that my niece and nephew have the backup they need to establish residency for Lakeway ISD school enrollment. As a customer, I believe that the purchase of a home is a huge investment and worth doing right including doing all the research and homework needed. As a professional, I have worked on large scale commercial projects in Contracts Management, Planning, and Project Planning for over 25 years. Because of my work background, I treated my home purchase as a project. I have participated in projects with all types of results (from very successful to very substandard). In my experience, projects with a high prevalence of \A\" team level people are the projects which succeed. Sharon is definitely \"A\" team. If you have read this long review, you may think I write a lot of reviews. I am 50 years old and I have written less than 5 reviews in my 50 years. " - John L.

"My family has contracted with Sharon Murray to buy two homes in the Georgetown area. She was amazing! We would not consider using anyone else. She is very knowledgeable about available properties, is patient and kind when asked to show MANY of them! Her knowledge of the whole process is unmatched and her attention to detail borders on perfection! I would recommend that you call Sharon for all your house/property buying needs. You won't find a more professional realtor." - Bobbi G.

★★★★★
"Outstanding Agent. Sharon was prompt at answering questions thoroughly and would constantly keep us updated, even if there wasn't anything new to discuss just so we knew we were not forgotten about. We had a few bumps, almost roadblocks, in the road to buying our new home; however, she was very knowledgeable and did everything in her power to seal the deal for us! She is really down to Earth and makes you feel completely at ease. I do feel 100% confident in recommending her to anyone!" - C. G.

★★★★★
"Sharon was amazing - so warm and helpful. She was a pleasure to work with. She was super flexible and accommodated my many requests to view the condo. She also had extensive knowledge of the housing market and had great furnishing and decorating recommendations. I'd recommend her to any friends who are in the market for housing." - Georgie

★★★★★
"Sharon helped me buy my first house, and it was an incredibly seamless and professional experience. From our first meeting she listened, understood my goals and constraints, and was easy to work with to schedule tours and chat on nights and weekends about next steps. As a first-time buyer, she made the contract process easy to navigate, knew great local resources to help with the needs that came up along the way, and checked in every week to ensure I had the information I needed. Closing went smoothly and I'd recommend Sharon in a heartbeat to friends or folks considering a move to Austin. I don't plan to use anyone else." - Hudson B.

★★★★★
"My husband and I had very specific \must haves\" requirements for the purchase of our new home. Sharon was extremely patient throughout the entire process! She is a very knowledgeable and honest Realtor. Sharon exceeded our expectations! My husband and I are so happy in our new home! I would recommend Sharon to my closest family and friends!" - Amanda G.
