Here are a few samples of notes we have received. The last names have been changed to protect the gracious. Actual names available on request.

"When we decided to sell our house and re-locate, my wife and I thought we would try to sell our house on our own.  Not knowing the details involved with selling a home (which were many), we were overwhelmed with how much work needed to be done.  After only a couple of weeks of trying our hand at selling, we contacted Skip Murphy at Coldwell Banker Properties.  Immediately he came over and explained what was involved with the sale of a house.  His knowledge of real estate and sensitivity to our needs was clearly evident.  He carefully prepared a website, and newspaper ads for us, which showcased our house beautifully.  Our house sold in less than a month, and Skip was with us every step of the way."

"Skip Murphy and his team did an excellent job for us when we relocated from the SF Bay area to Redding.  He has broad knowledge of the north valley area and is very skillful in communicating information about properties verbally and using digital communication and photography.  This was important for us as we were shopping from a distance. His prompt notifications of new homes on the market that met our needs resulted in our purchase of a fine new home. He did an excellent job helping us close the deal on our new home. We highly recommend his services to those looking for homes in the north valley."

Working with you was a pleasure.  You were always willing to meet us at the house for inspections and went beyond the call of duty watering the lawns and taking care of other business.  I appreciate you always being available by phone, and returning calls and e-mails quickly.  I would recommend you to my friends for their real estate needs.

Thanks for everything.  We love the house.

Jeff and Jackie B, Redding, CA

Once I decided what it was I was looking for, you provided me multiple listings that were very representative of my needs. We were able to easily locate a home that was perfect for me. Once we established our price it was painless to negotiate a fair and equitable final sale price. There were no surprises, and as a first time homebuyer, I feel that the entire process was honest, fair, and would I recommend your services to anyone.

Chuck and I would really like to thank you for all your great help with finding us our house. It fit so many of the criteria we were looking for.

We love it here and life is wonderful, we especially love our spa on the deck.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:

About 6 months ago my husband and I decided on selling our home, as a job opportunity was too good to pass up. We didn’t really know who to use for our realtor and decided to take on that task as we got closer to the time we would need to put our house on the market. One afternoon as I was shopping at our local mall, I passed by the Coldwell Bankers kiosk and started browsing the homes that they had listed to get an idea of what our home might be worth. Well, that is when I met Skip Murphy and his sweet assistant Erin Murphy. They were so kind and not at all pushy. They graciously answered all my real estate questions without hesitation. I left that booth with a business card, fingernail file with his advertisement on it and the thought that they just might be the ones to list our home.

When the time came to put our home on the market, I remembered Skip and Erin Murphy and searched for his business cars but couldn’t find it, however, I did find that silly nail file and was so glad I did! I called and made an appointment with them right away. Skip and his daughter (assistant) were so enthusiastic when they came over. They gave us such valuable advice and ideas to best sell our home. Then a few days later after we took their advise, they came over with spot lights, and camera gear taking pictures of every room in our home and even little things like our cement dog statuary and rose bushes. They were in and out so fast but with so many pictures. He then emailed us our home information online. Wow, it was incredible! You would think that we had a million dollar house for sale by the way he designed our ad. He even used our cement statuary dog as part of our ad.

Our whole experience with this team was wonderful. They kept us up to date on how many hits we had online, how much homes had sold for in our area, feedback on other realtors comments and so on. We now think of them as our friends and well as our realtors.

My husband and I want to say thank you for everything and would like to recommend them to anyone who would like to feel as if their home was worth a million dollars too.

 Sincerely,

 Mr. and Mrs. L
