Finding the right real estate agent can make or break your buying or selling experience. In a market as competitive and diverse as South Jersey, you need more than someone who just opens doors—you need a strategic partner who knows your local market, protects your interests, and helps you win.

That’s where The Murphy Group stands apart. Here’s how to choose the right agent—and why so many South Jersey buyers and sellers choose us.

🧭 Step 1: Look for Proven Local Experience

Every market has its nuances. South Jersey is no exception. From Cherry Hill’s established neighborhoods to the fast-growing suburbs of Mount Laurel and Washington Township, you want an agent who has closed deals right where you’re buying or selling.

“We know what sells in each micro-market—from pricing strategies in Haddonfield to marketing trends in Voorhees,” says Mary Murphy, founder of The Murphy Group.

Murphy Group Tip: Check an agent’s active and past listings on Zillow or their website. Look for variety, volume, and neighborhood familiarity.

💬 Step 2: Read Reviews—But Read Between the Lines

Do clients mention responsiveness and follow-through?
Is there consistency in how the team communicates?
Are there repeat clients?

💡 The Murphy Group’s 230+ 5-star reviews highlight what we value most—professionalism, relentless follow-up, and genuine care.

📈 Step 3: Evaluate Marketing & Technology

In 2025, real estate success comes down to visibility and speed.

Does the agent use AI-driven marketing or just traditional MLS posts?
Are listings promoted with professional photography, video, and social media reach?
Do they respond quickly to new leads and inquiries?

The Murphy Group uses AI-enhanced marketing campaigns and an in-house virtual assistant system to give every listing 10x the exposure of standard agents.

🏠 Step 4: Ask About Communication & Support

Buying or selling a home is a full-contact experience. You need a team that keeps you updated and supported every step of the way. Our model at The Murphy Group pairs agents with professional virtual assistants and transaction coordinators—so no detail ever slips through the cracks.

🤝 Step 5: Choose Chemistry Over Convenience

Real estate is personal. You’re sharing your goals, finances, and often big life transitions. Choose someone who aligns with your values and communicates in your style. If you value honesty, preparation, and results, The Murphy Group was built for you.
