Overall a very good experience. Easy to work with. Corey was not my agent, he was the buyer's agent, but he was very easy to work with and since buyers were out of state I dealt with Cory on several occasion. He was professional and polite and kept on top of everything that needed to be done for his clients to meet all the deadlines. He also, gave me a nice bouquet of flowers after the close to say thank you for all my help during the purchasing process. Which was more than my own agents did after the close, which was very disappointing and unprofessional that my agent did nothing in the way of a thank you.

Best in The Business . I have used Corey Murphy on several real estate transactions as both a buyer and seller. I keep coming back because he is the best agent I have ever worked with. Of course he's at the top of his class in professionalism, communication and knowledge, but he stands out in other areas that are equally important to me and perhaps to you as well. Above all, he's honest and has the highest ethical standards. He listens more than he talks because he wants to hear exactly what you want. What he wants is the best possible deal for you. He asks the right questions and gets the answers. He does his research and uses his professional experience to anticipate potential obstacles and delays that others might miss. He wants to hear your ideas and insights and uses his knowledge to make suggestions about possible actions and directions you may not have considered. He doesn't rush you into decisions, but when you have decided, he's always available for discussion, advice or action.He makes you feel like you're his only client. Corey has a whole network of professional contacts that he's worked with over the years who all help make the transaction go as smoothly as possible. The escrow company, the home inspector, home stagers, and service people are all individuals and companies he knows and trusts. They all work together to make things happen. So I recommend Murph without hesitation. He's become a trusted advisor for me and I'm sure he'll do the best job possible for you as well.

I am a first time home buyer, and i had the best experience working with Corey as my agent. He was highly engaged, providing consistently great options even after several adjustments to my criteria along the way. Additionally, His level of involvement enabled me to migrate a challenging home loan assumption process. 10/10 would recommend

We bought our first house in 2020 with Corey. He walked us through the entire process. He was patient and always available to answer our questions. He gave us great guidance and support. We recently decided to sell our house and worked with Corey again. He sold our house within a week! Corey is the best real estate agent in Oceanside!

Working with Corey was a positive experience ~ My buyer purchased some vacant land through Corey and he was able to answer questions we had about the property lines. He was helpful and available to us and would recommend his assistance!
