Joy properly priced our home, suggest appropriate upgrades, and helped stage the home for great showings. Even though the market was tough, she drummed up more showings through creative marketing. I have never experienced someone working so hard and passionately for us. Her honesty and knowledge truly helped us make great decisions. I really don't know what I would have done without Joy diligently guiding us through each step of the process. She took care of so many little details. Most importantly, she showed kindness and generosity to our small children. Not only did Joy do an excellent job as a realtor, she now feels like a genuine friend. I couldn't imagine buying or selling a house without Joy by our side. We are grateful to her and recommend her to everyone we know.
I had a wonderful experience working with Joy from the beginning of my new home purchase - from picking out the lot through the closing. Joy is knowledgeable of the real estate market and is a pleasure to work with.
We could not have had a better experience with another realtor. Joy knew our check list was long and she eagerly took on the challenge. She was wise in the market of selling our home and kept in mind all the things we wanted in a new home. She maneuvered us through the negotiations like a champ and helped us secure the perfect place to call home. Shes witty, honest and will be at your side through the whole process. Shell always be out to to.
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!
Joy was responsive to texts, emails, and calls. Her advice was spot on about everything (e.g., pricing expectations, value-added repairs, weighing / making offers, etc.). Joy made selling our home (and buying two others) easy and satisfying. She had solutions for everything. I highly recommend Joy.
I have worked with dozens of real estate professionals over the last 30 years and Joy is without question at the top of the list. Her concern for her clients well being, professionalism, and perseverance is second to none.
My husband and I used Joy to both purchase and sell our first home. She has been in the business for a long time and it shows in her knowledge and expertise. I dont think theres anything she hasnt 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 well. We are so happy we used her as our realtor as she made both the buying and selling process so stress free
Joy shows 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 easy to set up house visits with her. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and honest during those showings. Her insight helped us pick the house were in today!
Even after buying the house, she has still helped out with questions and recommendations to various specialists for the home. We would definitely recommend working with her!
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 its time we will only choose her to help us find our next dream home.
Joy was wonderful to work with. My husband is in the Army and got last minute orders which meant we needed to sell quick. Joy made sure we were prepared and was 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 thankful we had her on our side. If we come back to Kentucky we will make sure to do business with her! Thanks so much Joy!
Joy Murphy is a fantastic realtor. This was house #6 we've bought and sold. This was best experience in all our moves. Joy is a pleasure to collaborate with and her attention to detail made our experience stress free! Paul D
Joy was 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 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, Im just going to say it: if you have a bad experience working with Joy then its your fault and, not hers.
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.
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.
Joy knows this market well!! She stays in touch throughout the process. Her recommendations as to how to evaluate offers were spot on. I highly recommend her services!

Joy has helped us with not only the purchase of our 1st home but also selling it 2 years later when were we located. She was kind and diligent, And was willing to work around our tight and crazy schedules. She was also kind to our children and also kept toys in her trunk to entertain them. After we moved in she continued to be a big part in our lives and even got us a house warming gift! We are forever grateful for joy and I will continue to refer her when someone is in need of a great realtor. Thanks a million Joy!!
Blessed to find Joy for our realtor who knew our needs and was on call 24/7. She found a perfect home for us against all odds at a terrible time. Very thankful for Joy and felt we made a new friend in a new city.
Joy's professionalism, attention to detail and high level of customer service are the things that make her so excellent. I could always count on Joy to keep me updated step by step during the entire process. She helped move the deal forward by being on top of the details and by ensuring everything on our end was completed in a timely fashion. And she was easily accessible and responsive to any question I may have had. Joy will help you get it done. And she does it all with a warm personality and a big smile! Thank you Joy Murphy!!
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 similar on the surface. In short, Joy Murphy is the best of the best in Lexington. John Trosper
Joy is knowledgeable about the market in this area. Shes resourceful and was available to show us many houses until we found the one that was perfect for us. I have worked with Joy in the past and will definitely work with her again. We are happy to work with her and the ease of getting the house we wanted.
Being a first time home buyer I was not 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!
Joy Murphy is a exceptional realtor. She goes above and beyond to look after her clients and provides the highest quality service. She is knowledgeable and we would never use anyone else as an agent. She is kind, efficient and does whatever is needed for her clients.
My husband and I recently relocated to the Lexington area from northern Illinois. Working with Joy to purchase a home that was affordable and aesthetically pleasing was an experience well beyond our expectations. Joy was consistently readily available to field our questions and to respect and address our concerns. She has a really vast knowledge of the real estate market and the dynamics of house-hunting. We will forever be grateful for her wise counsel, patience, kindness, approachability, support and commitment to excellence. She is the embodiment of professionalism, experience, graciousness and integrity.
Joy thoroughly researched the market and devised a marketing plan and sold our property for more than we expected. She also made sure that the offers we received were solid. Joy walked us through the entire process and was always available to answer questions regardless of the time of day. She is a professional agent! I only wish we could give her more stars in her rating! Not only is she an excellent agent - she is superior!!!!!
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! 2019
