Specialties
At The Murphys Realtors in the Five College Area of the Pioneer Valley I sell residential real estate and specialize in the sales of antique houses, houses near rail trails, greenways and other conservation lands. Though this is my specialized practice I also assist anyone buying or selling property (Residential and Commercial) in the Five College Area.
My unique niche in real estate practice was featured in two National Association of Realtors trade magazines, a Massachusetts Association of Realtors trade magazine, a Boston Globe Editorial, an article in the Wall Street Journal and even in United Airlines in-flight magazine. I have received Green designations from both the National Association of Realtors and the U.S. Green Building Council, which mean that I’ve had specialized training in helping buyers and sellers – green up their house.
History
Established in 1960.
The Murphys Realtors, Inc is a family owned, local business with three offices in Northampton, MA.
In early 2013, I merged my firm – Trailside Realty – in with The Murphys Realtors and we opened a new office in the village center of Florence – one of four villages in Northampton. I currently sell properties in Amherst, Hadley, Holyoke, and Northampton, MA and the surrounding areas.
