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--specializing in houses near walking or biking pathways in Massachusetts 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. History
