Shaun Murphy - RE/MAX Allegiance

Shaun helped me buy a house in Old Town. I started working with him while living overseas and he accommodated virtual showings making the process seamless. I was buying at the height of the market and at times I wanted to "settle" but Shaun always encouraged me to wait for the right house. He cared more about me making a smart purchase than making a quick commission. I loved how he would point out things I didn't know to look for and it's obvious he is knowledgeable about homes and the real estate market in Alexandria. Even after my purchase, Shaun has been a great resource for contractor recommendations and is always there when I have a question or need advice. I feel like he is a friend now and thankful I choose to work with him to buy my house. It can be intimidating buying in an unfamiliar city but he always made it easy.

I would highly recommend Shaun to anyone who is interested in purchasing a home. Shaun helped me and my wife through every step of the home buying process to find us the perfect place. He was available to tour and meet at times and of course locations convenient to us. He was able to help us find great listings, tour and inspect and submit a competitive offer. He helped us pass on places that were quick flips. He is very knowledgeable about house maintenance and construction so he will help you know what to look for and avoid in properties. As first time home buyers we didn’t know what to look for but with Shaun we were totally comfortable with living in our house. After all, you want a good place, not to over pay for someone you won’t love! We didn’t over bid and we didn’t even have to waive contingencies. In fact, we only placed one offer and were done. I know friends who placed 5 or more and that’s just rough! The night of our closing he gave us tickets to his suite at the Nationals game. Juan Soto had a walk off hit and fireworks went off as the wining run crossed the plate. It was the perfect end to the home buying process, which is of course just the first step of home ownership. I am confident in saying that if Shaun was not our agent then we would not be living here. I would definitely work with him again

Shaun goes above and beyond. As first-time home buyers, we were intimidated by the competitive northern VA real estate market and complex process of buying a home. Shaun met with us months in advance to lay out the steps to buy a home and to develop a timeline that worked for us. Shaun works with local lendors, inspectors, and settlement company, which streamlines the process and makes it easier on the purchaser. Shaun shared his honest assessments throughout the process, including telling us when we should not place a bid on a home. I can't imagine buying or selling a home in the future without Shaun.
