•A joy to work with Joy!• This is our third time working with Joy Murphy. There's a reason we continue to partner with her. Without Joy's hard work and persistence, we would not be the proud owners of our dream home. She works tirelessly for her clients and maintains a pleasant and professional attitude throughout the often grueling process. We especially appreciate how calm she remained during this particularly stressful search. It's not easy finding a good home in Lexington, but Joy managed to make the experience worthwhile.

•Joy is truly the best!• Joy is an excellent realtor. She listened to us and found what we needed and wanted in a new home. She made the home buying process very enjoyable and fun. Joy spent over 10 months with us making sure we found "our" house. Joy always made us feel like we were her priority and her only client. Joy gave great advice for selling our home, staged it perfectly, and sold it in a matter of hours for more than asking price. I would highly recommend Joy Murphy. If we ever sell/buy again, she is our realtor! *Verified by RateMyAgent 7/11/24

•Joy Murphy: Proactive & Exceptional Agent!• I had the pleasure of working with Joy Murphy as my real estate agent during a challenging market. Joy truly goes above and beyond, setting herself apart from other agents I've dealt with in the past. While most agents simply list the property and wait, Joy took a proactive approach. She continuously analyzed the market, promoted the property directly, and made strategic changes to its presentation. Her innovative strategies and dedication led to the successful sale of my house. Joy's exceptional efforts and compassionate advocacy made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Joy Murphy to anyone in need of a real estate agent who will go the extra mile to achieve outstanding results. Thank you, Joy! *Verified by RateMyAgent 7/31/23

I don’t think there’s anything she hasn’t experienced in the business so she was able to guide us in many different scenarios. Joy is a great people person and communicates with everyone very well.

•It’s a Joy to work with her!• Joy shows very early on that she cares a lot about her clients. She will send many many homes to look at and when the time comes, it is very easy to set up house visits with her. She was very knowledgeable, helpful, and honest during those showings.

We would definitely recommend working with her! *Verified by RateMyAgent 4/16/23

•She is amazing and helped us have a great experience!• Joy was recommended to us from another client and she did not disappoint. This was our first home and she was sure to explain, answer questions, and truly go above and beyond on everything we needed. We closed on our dream first home the week of our wedding and she kept me calm through the whole thing. She was always available to call or text and she worked with our work schedule (my husband and I are both nurses) to look at homes even after we got off shifts late. We are so thankful she was with us through it all and when it’s time we will only choose her to help us find our next dream home. *Verified by RateMyAgent 1/10/23

•Best realtor we could have asked for!• Joy was wonderful to work with. My husband is in the Army and got very last minute orders which meant we needed to sell quick. Joy made sure we were prepared and was very knowledgeable on the housing market. She walked us through every step and was always available to answer any questions or address concerns we had. Joy went above and beyond for us. We are very thankful we had her on our side. If we come back to Kentucky we will make sure to do business with her!

•Joy is absolutely The Best!!• Joy was very knowledgeable, professional and reliable as a realtor. Practically from the moment we met I just knew I was going to have a good experience listing my house to sell in Lexington. I was so wrong, but only from the standpoint of it being a good experience because it was a GREAT experience. She is very much a people person, so easy to talk to, and kept me informed each and every step of the way. Now, we did have a small number of issues to work through (does any listing not have at least a few minor issues along the way) but that is where Joy is at her best. She was so responsive and flexible and willing to work the problem any way I saw fit that I was never worried in the slightest about the sale of my residence. She went out of her way, both figuratively and literally, more than once during the process and I cannot express my appreciation enough for the wonderful job she did. Because she and I both love to talk, and because we shared so much about ourselves during the process Joy feels like part of the family now, not just my realtor. I will definitely be contacting her in the future to assist with my realty needs and could not give her a higher recommendation. I have debated whether and/or how to say the following but, knowing that Joy now understands how I think, I’m just going to say it: if you have a bad experience working with Joy then it’s your fault and, not hers. *Verified by RateMyAgent 8/4/22

•Joy lives up to her name!• Joy listed our home the last week of April and it sold in one week. She showed up to our listing appointment armed with a market analysis and plenty of information to decide on a list price. Joy is professional, extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. She navigated a couple of things that came up with our buyers with expertise and quickly found solutions. She kept us informed every step of the way. She worked hard for us and got things done. I strongly recommend her. *Verified by RateMyAgent 6/28/22

•The best person and realtor you could ask for a first time home buyer• Joy was so knowledgeable, confident, and patient with me. I was a first time home buyer, had zero clue about the market, what to be looking for and what to stay away from. She guided me through the entire process, start to finish, and I never once felt alone in the process. If you need a realtor and friend when buying home, IT IS JOY. I can't thank her enough for helping me buy my first home, and will be utilizing her skills and wisdom when it comes time to sell. *Verified by RateMyAgent 6/1/22

•First Time Home Buyer• Being a first time home buyer I was not very knowledgeable of the entire process of home buying. Joy was an excellent agent and an incredible resource every time I had questions or needed more information. She seemed to always be available and ready to help when needed. We were able to purchase the perfect house after having a few that fell through but not because of any mishap from Joy. The third time was a charm in this case and she actually protected us quite a bit from previous properties making sure we weren't stuck in a deal. I highly recommend her services as she will treat you like a friend during the process and really guide you at every step. I will certainly keep her in mind for any future purchases or relocations! *Verified by RateMyAgent 9/3/21

•Superb Realtor And A Splendid Human Being• Joy Murphy is a superb realtor and a splendid human being. I say this as someone who's job has moved him and his family 12 times in 38 years at the convenience of the government. Having bought and sold four houses along the way and worked through more than a few rentals I can say that Joy's eye for precisely what type of improvements need to be made and what can be left alone and still bring a good return were spot on. She was also ready to help out with those small details of things that get left behind when you leave a house in one area to go to another one two thousand miles away. This provided the extra push that put the house over the top on sales day in my opinion. Joy also kept us on top of all the offers that came in and enabled us to grasp the many differences as to why this one was better than that one even if they seemed very similar on the surface. In short, Joy Murphy is the best of the best in Lexington. John Trosper *Verified by RateMyAgent 7/3/21

•Has Helped Me More Than I Can Ever Explain• Joy is a wonderful woman, and has helped me more then I could ever explain. I was in the market to buy my first home, and had no knowledge of what to look for, or what was all involved. Joy explained everything to me and made it very easy to understand. She knew exactly what I was looking for in a home, and we looked at several before we found the right one. Once we found the home I wanted to purchase, she made it very easy to get all the paperwork, settled in a timely manner. Even when I was out of the state, Joy was willing to go through the home and video chat with me for the final walk through, to ensure the home was clean and all deficiencies were corrected. After everything is said and done, Joy has maintained contact with me, like she has throughout the entire process, and gone above and beyond what I ever expected from a realtor. I would recommend Joy to anyone and everyone with out hesitation. Fantastic woman to work with, and a great person ove rall *Verified by RateMyAgent 11/5/20

•Joy was INCREDIBLE• Joy was INCREDIBLE. She was patient with us as we saw several houses, taking time to learn and note what we loved and didn't love about each property. Each new place she took us to see was refined more based on our prior feedback, and we actually ended up offering on a few properties. Working with Joy was a breeze, and although she is super sweet to her clients, she is a bulldog in terms of negotiations and getting what you need from your buying experience. One of the better people I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with, can't recommend highly enough! *Verified by RateMyAgent 6/30/19

She was engaged in addressing both the professional and Personal needs ... before, during, and after the home purchasing process. Her sole focus on the customer, ensured timely responses / updates were provided. And, obviously, during the professional aspect, she was always there and supportive during the Financial process.

•Joy went out of her way to make my first house buying experience a great one.• "Joy went out of her way to make my first house buying experience a great one. She went out of her way to work around my work schedule for the earnest money deposit exchange, all of our home viewings, and the closing of the house. I threw her for a little bit of a loop looking in an area she wasn't too familiar with, but she quickly became an expert in the area and found the perfect home. Joy was one of the most polite, courteous, friendly, and overall pleasant people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She understood it was my first time buying a home, and took it slow with me, teaching me the proscess, making sure I understood exactly what we were doing, what I was signing and agreeing to. She never mislead me, or made things too complicated. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Joy. I went into this process a little nervous, not knowing what to expect as it was my first home. Joy lead me through it the entire way. She made the process painless, and thoroughly enjoyable. I don't know what I would have done without her. If every client receives the same treatment I was given, I don't know why anyone would ever use another realtor." *Verified by RateMyAgent 10/4/17

•So Responsive• Joy Murphy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was tireless and SO responsive! We bought a house while living in another city which created a lot of work for her, but Joy was totally on top of everything for us. When we wanted to take another "look" at something in the house, she drove over and used FaceTime to show us a particular detail we couldn't remember. When we needed to pick out a carpet for the yet-to-be-finished basement, she FedExed us samples! Several times I was worried about whether or not I should ask for something from the seller and Joy said: don't worry - I will ask! I work for you! She put me/us totally at ease, handling all the challenging parts of buying a new home in a new city. This is our fourth home purchase over the past 20 years, and - by far - our best experience. I cannot say enough good things about Joy. *Verified by RateMyAgent 12/18/17
