We worked with Lee for the purchase of our first home. She is a fantastic agent and we would highly recommend. She was always frank with us about what houses she thought would be a good fit (or not) and had endless patience with the many open houses and offers we had to make in the current market. She knows the DMV area exceptionally well, and her advice on location, process, and negotiation was invaluable in eventually finding our home! Her colleague Jackelyn was equally helpful, particularly in helping us with the post-offer process.

Lee is the best!
We worked with Lee on the purchase of our first home, and then some years later, the sale of that property and purchase of our current home. Lee has deep knowledge of every step of the process and the DC housing market. She has the experience and emotional intelligence to keep us grounded, follow a plan, and find the right place for us at the right price. We're very happy we had her in our corner! Lee's associate Jackelyn is highly organized and engaging and they make a great team.

I used Lee as our agent to buy property this year during the crazy DMV market. We must have seen 30+ properties before finding the right one but despite this Lee remained patient, professional and always available to answer our questions. What impressed me the most about Lee was that she did not try and push us to buy a house just so she would earn a commission. She actually recommended we not offer on a few properties because of issues that might affect resale value. Lee was careful to make sure that we only offered on properties that were right for us and we eventually found one in a great area which we were able to buy thanks to Lee.

I definitely recommend Lee and would use her again for our next real estate transaction.

Lee and Helen were indispensable at every stage of the process of looking for a new house.
We wouldn't have found our home as quickly without their assistance. We warmly recommend them

I highly recommend Lee as an agent!
I worked with her to buy 2 different condos, both time as my primary residence. Both condos, I loved, and i got so many compliments for. Lee is great at telling good quality versus not so good. She is great at learning what you like and what you dont. Lee is not afraid of speaking her mind, which is exactly what you want her to do as she has commanding knowledge of the market. Lee will negotiate for you, she and her team will make all the paperwork seamless. Go with Lee!

Lee was terrific. She successfully navigated a tight housing market during a pandemic to help me find a perfect property. She steered me away from properties with problems and adjusted my own criteria to address a new post-covid world. Great negotiating tactics as well.

Lee replied to my email immediately after I reached out to her. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market and the different areas of the DC Metro area where I was considering buying. She was straightforward with her advice and extremely helpful at every step of the way. She and her Operations Manager, Helen Do, were always flexible with the appointments (by phone, FaceTime or in person) and always punctual to a fault. Thanks to her I found the property I ended up buying. The process was expeditious, but I never felt rushed. Her advice regarding price negotiation was spot-on. To top it off, she obtained an extra credit from the seller, and she made sure my interests were protected from the beginning. Working with her gave me great peace of mind-- I felt sure things would turn out right and, indeed, they did.

We were referred to Lee by friends who had been happy with her services when they purchased their home. When we were still out of town, Lee took us on several video house walk-thrus. For in-person tours, Lee & Helen were always personable & professional, offering insight into neighborhoods, advising us on any updates that we would need to make, and steering us clear of potential pitfalls. Lee knows the market and works hard for her clients. She has a keen eye and a good sense of style. She won't steer you wrong. When it came time to negotiate for our house, she worked tirelessly for us and came through with a good deal. Lee & Helen worked seamlessly as a team and were always available with answers to my questions. Lee took me to the houses I wanted to see and the ones she knew I needed to see. She listened to what we wanted in a house and in a neighborhood and she found us a wonderful home!

We were expecting this to be a difficult time to sell given it being a year with a presidential election and everything that Covid had to offer. Nevertheless, having worked with Lee to buy the apartment we had no doubts around having her help us to sell. We got excellent pragmatic advice on the pricing as well as what we needed to do to the apartment to help it sell. Even given the crazy environment we were able to move from listing to an agreed offer in less than 7 days. Lee and her excellent support staff (Helen Do) then worked with their counterpart agent to smooth the process and get to an efficient closing.

Lee worked with us to sell our first home. She provided us with actionable recommendations for what updates and changes we should make to the house to increase the value. We listened - and she delivered. She knows just the right touches to make sure your home sells at a great price in a timely manner. She understands what motivates buyers and how to get the market to respond. If you want to work with an expert and get the most out of your home - work with Lee!

Lee & Helen are a fantastic team who will guide you every step of the way through the home buying/selling process. We were first-time buyers, and they were incredibly patient, thoughtful, and always seemed to have our best interests in mind. Lee is incredibly honest and will tell you her opinion of houses quickly (which we very much valued). She also helped us get a great deal. Additionally, they stuck with us through a tumultuous closing process where somehow arose with the seller agent, seller, and lender! Lee and Helen knocked down walls to ensure we closed on time, despite a ton of issues being thrown our way. All-in-all, we couldn't recommend them more to anyone in the DMV.

Lee Murphy and Helen Do are an amazing team! We were so fortunate to find them and work with them during the purchase of our first home. Lee is an expert negotiator, had our best interests in mind, and made sure everything was in order for us to be able to close. We could not have navigated this process and the hurdles along the way without her. A true professional that goes above and beyond!

Lee helped me buy and sell my home and then helped my husband and I buy our next home. Lee is very knowledgeable about real estate in the DMV area and she gets everything done in a very timely manner. Before we bought our home she spent time talking to us about what we were looking for and our different options. She knows how the process works and made sure that our offer was very competitive. Would definitely recommend!

Lee was totally amazing in her help and expertise in our search for a new home in the DC area. She understood exactly what we were looking for and was not afraid to speak her opinion on properties we looked at. In the end, Lee helped us purchase our absolute dream house without us even seeing the property live. Her services were absolutely critical and professional in our successful relocation home search. We would highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs in the greater DC area.

We met Lee through our bank's home buying program and after 2.5 years of searching for a home it took us only one day and three home visits with Lee to find our dream house - and bring down the price to the level we are comfortable with and we could actually afford! We couldn't even imagine anything like this after bidding unsuccessfully on properties in DC. As such, we could not be more grateful for having worked with Lee and would definitely recommend her to anyone. You will be in great hands! She and her colleague Helen are extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and well-connected. As first time home buyers, we were impressed with their network of helpful people including lawyers, home inspectors, and others. Thanks to their attention to detail, we also saved a lot of money, not only with the home purchase but also throughout the process. We have now moved in and are very happy with our house. Thanks again to Lee and Helen for everything!

My wife and I have bought and sold a total of 3 homes now with Lee. On each transaction, from start to finish working with her and her team was a great experience. When we bought our first home, Lee went above and beyond with all the help we needed and questions we had as first-time buyers. When we were ready for more space years later, she navigated us through the nerve-wracking process of selling and buying simultaneously in a fast-moving market. And when we encountered a difficult buyer and thought that sale would go south, Lee wasn't fazed. She was patient, communicative, and tough when necessary. That sale went through, and for above our asking price. We can't imagine ever using another agent in the Washington area
