Ulster County Real Estate: Murphy Realty Group Has Been Busy

Murphy Realty Group celebrated its one year anniversary in February. John Murphy, Principal Broker and Owner of Murphy Realty Group stated “We had a busy year building the company to where we are now.” He expressed how please he is with the steps he and his agents have taken to build a competitive agency in Ulster County. “This year has been a building process”, he stated, “We are currently focusing a lot of energy and ideas into the internet. It is important to grow a customer base not only locally but outside of the county. We are attracting purchasers from the New York City Metropolitan area as well as other areas outside the county who start their home searches online. It is important to have a good website that has a high ranking so that it can easily be found by those who haven’t yet identified a specific area where they wish to purchase. Those potential purchasers can visit our new website developed specifically to introduce them to Ulster County with area information as well as give them access to listings currently on the market. Visitors to our site can set themselves up with a Property Manager Account and have updates and new listings, based on the criteria that they choose, automatically sent to their email or they can log in to search listings as often as they wish. Many people have expressed how much they appreciate this feature.” The site John is referring to is ulstercountyliving.com. Murphy Realty Group also maintains another popular website: murphyrealtygrp.com.

In addition, Murphy Realty Group has been busy promoting the Federal Tax Credits available to both First Time Homebuyers as well as Existing Homeowners. Those tax credits enacted by the Federal government as part of the economic stimulus plan have time limitations. “We want qualifying buyers to understand that they need to act soon in order to find their home of choice and undergo the process of purchasing, as they will need to be in contract by the April 30th deadline in order to take advantage of the $6,500 federal tax credit for existing homeowners or the $8,000 credit for First Time Homebuyers. It’s a great savings for those folks and well worth investigating. My agents are anxious to assist those buyers and we encourage anyone with questions to give us a call. In addition to the credits they may be entitled to, Murphy Realty Group is offering their buyers, as well as their sellers, a gift card at closing of title for $250.00 to Herzog’s Home Center. We want our clients to understand that we value their business. “ Murphy Realty Group’s gift card offer is in place until June 30th, 2010.

John readily remarks that his biggest assets are his agents. Recently Maria Martino, Broker-Associate and James (Jim) Murphy, Salesperson, joined the team of professionals which includes John Murphy, Broker/Owner, Mary Orapello, Broker-Associate, Marguerite (Meg) Ehmann, Broker-Associate, Edwin Maldonado, Broker-Associate, Peggy Maldonado, Broker-Associate, Kyla Thomas, Broker-Associate, Raymond Lane, Broker-Associate and Steven Guerin, Salesperson.

John summed it up by saying, “It’s been a great year and we are fortunate to be the fastest growing real estate agency in Ulster County today”.
