"I can't express enough gratitude to Julia Murtagh during my fiancé and I’s journey as first-time homebuyers. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Julia genuinely cared about our needs and concerns. She was a true advocate for us and educated us on every step of the home-buying process, making what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and exciting. Not only did Julia patiently walk us through market trends and the buying process, but she also negotiated fantastic terms for our purchase.

She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small and shared with us invaluable insights that gave us the confidence to know we were in the right hands during a very stressful, but memorable decision for our future. Julia, your unwavering support and kindness is something I hope every first time homebuyer gets to experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Julia Murtagh and her team at Compass to anyone looking to buy a home. THANK YOU for being apart of this next chapter in our lives, we LOVE our new home and couldn’t have done this without you."

"Julia recently sold our home and from the beginning to the end she was the utmost professional in both helping us through the listing, staging and selling processes. She and her team were a joy to work with. She is very aware of the market and helped us set a price that wasn't too high getting us several offers. We found her (and her team) to be very organized, detail orientated and moved quickly with exceptional follow through on everything. The sale went smoothly. I highly recommend her to anyone."

"Julia helped me to sell my late mother's Pleasanton property. Julia understood that this was an emotional time for me and gave me ample time to process each and every step. All of my questions were thoroughly explained. I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend the Murtagh Team."

"Julia Murtagh and her team are total pros! From the moment we started working together she was proactive, responsive, and always considered my needs, wants, and goals. Once we narrowed down a property, I got to see the true experienced professional in action. From the offer, to the negotiations, to the contract and closing process, Julia and The Murtagh Team were on top of every detail and timeline, always keeping me informed as if I was the only client they were working with. Absolutely amazing. I highly recommend The Murtagh Team!"

"Julia just helped us sell our property in spring of 2024 out in the Livermore Valley. Her attention to detail and marketing blitz made all the difference enabling us to sell the home for Top dollar. We then worked together to purchase a home in Pleasanton (This was our 4th transaction together). She helped us negotiate an amazing deal and we were able to purchase this beautiful home in the time frame that was needed. She is a dedicated, hard-working Real Estate Professional, if you are considering selling or purchasing a home in the Tri-Valley she will make it happen!"

"We decided to sell our beloved family home in Pleasanton this Spring. We interviewed numerous agents and decided to work with Julia. She motivated us to move quickly to time the sale of our home in the Spring market. We worked together closely for months to get our home ready and in prime condition. Julia was dedicated to making our selling experience seamless and she personally oversaw the overall process. She was able to sell our home for top dollar and get us the much needed rent back to ease the timing of moving out. If you are thinking of selling your home in Pleasanton or the Tri-Valley and want a very dedicated person - she is the one to call!"

"Julia and her team did an incredible job with our purchase and sale transactions. As the available product was dwindling where we wanted to move and prices dropping where we needed to sell, we still ended up completing the purchase below market rate and an over-asking price sale on the first weekend. Her team helped keep us focused on all action items to assure that everything moved forward in a timely manner. Julia is a leader in her field for obvious reasons. I heartily recommend Team Murtagh for your home sale and purchase."

"This has been our third time working with The Murtagh Team, and they continue to exceed our hopes and expectations. Julia and Lauren helped us sell quickly in a slower winter market for all cash. When the perfect home came on the market in Livermore, we were able to pounce fast and beat out multiple offers to secure our beautiful new home. I truly believe that without their connections and expert knowledge of the housing market, selling and buying would have been a much more grueling process. Instead, everything felt exciting, organized, and efficient. My family and I cannot recommend Julia and the rest of The Murtagh Team more!"

"From our first call Julia Murtagh was responsive, caring, compassionate, and relentless in the quest to sell our home. She gave us great advice that led to multiple offers above our asking price with a very quick sale. Julia responded quickly and honestly to any questions and concerns we had. We would highly recommend Julia and her team for any real estate needs you have."

"My wife and I recently worked with Julia Murtagh and Amy Mayerson from The Murtagh Team to sell our home in Pleasanton. Having worked with Julia 10 years ago to buy this home, we trusted her completely. Julia's experience prioritizing the steps to get ready and Amy's attention to detail in getting the house ready to sell were outstanding. We learned that preparing a house for sale is not the least expensive thing you'll ever do. Some of the investments include: repairs, inspection fixes, landscaping, painting, cleaning and staging. While a significant up-front investment, we strongly believe it was off the charts worth it and that we got a great price and a quick sale that went very smoothly. Additionally, Julia is outstanding at working with other Realtors. The buying agent was a great guy and did have some detailed requests along the way. Julia built and preserved that relationship to the point that we were invited to show the new owners the house systems. Meeting them was lovely and we feel great all around with the new owners and that the house will be loved. A big part of that was Julia navigating through the sale. Finally, Julia and Amy were lovely, understanding that we were leaving a home we loved, and very kind balancing that with getting ready to sell. All in all, we highly recommend The Murtagh Team. And, recommend listening carefully to all of their recommendations! They hands down know what they're doing representing you."
