"My family and I had the pleasure of working with Valerie Alexander from Hoffman Murphy in finding our new home. Valerie was AWESOME. She was helpful, informative, patient, and honest. All qualities that make her fantastic at her job. I couldn't have been more pleased with how she represented us during our home buying process. Looking forward to working with her again.
"If you are looking for a realtor in the South Bay and surrounding areas, look no further! Hoffman Murphy, and specifically my agent Val Alexander was unbelievably responsive and attentive. She showed me an off market listing and after my offer was accepted, she worked tirelessly with my lender, escrow agent, etc. to help us close in just 3 weeks!!! Even thought this wasn't
"The best realtors out there! We bought our house four years ago and are still in love with it. Hoffman Murphy holds so many events for their clients and really make you feel like you are a member of the community. Their knowledge of the southbay is unsurpassed!"
"We worked with Melissa Pilon at Hoffman Murphy and am so thankful for the experience and support provided by Melissa and her team. Melissa worked so hard and diligently to get us our dream home in an incredibly competitive market! It is so apparent how much Melissa loves what she does and the compassion and personal care she has for her job and her clients. We couldn’t be
"I found the perfect South Bay property for me. It was represented by Hoffman Murphy. I needed to sell my house in order to get my dream property in the Hollywood Riviera. My home needed lots of work to get top dollar. I contacted Marie and she was able to get my home sold and represent me and the seller. This type of transaction can be extremely tricky for both sides
"Talk about a client-centered approach to real estate! Bob and Laura are an amazing team, bringing years of experience, integrity, and unique insights to the home selling process. They helped my wife and me sell our house by first carefully listening to our needs, followed by recommendations which resulted in a quick sale at the price we told them we wanted. They clearly c
"Susan and her team were amazing to work with. They gave us great advice and provided a network of support to help prep our home for listing and then helped sell our home as planned for the amount we needed."
"This team is a wonderful group of people who were very helpful and encouraging while we were buying our first home! Matt was our realtor and we couldn't have asked for better! He was friendly and fun, and answered all of our millions of questions without complaint. We switched to this company after a few months with a different company that we weren't connecting with, and
"Sue Murphy helped us find our first home in Manhattan Beach when our twins were infants and we didn't know what we were doing. When it was time she helped us sell that home, from staging negotiating and she got us got the price we had hoped for. That was over thirty years ago. Recently she helped us find perfect home for my wife and I in Redondo Beach and everything wo
"The Hoffman Murphy Team was invaluable in helping us secure a home that we have been coveting for several years while renting in the South Bay. Our realtor, Laura, jumped into action the moment the house hit the market and did not stop until the house was ours. She calmly managed all of the common home buying fears and anxieties that came up for us along the way, and utili
"Strong team: Caring, knowledgeable, resourceful, effective, and result- driven. They know the real- estate market in the South Bay well and effective prepare the properties they represent in ways that drive buyers to want the property they are selling. I was originally working with other realtors but found myself gravitating toward properties they represented. All my bids
"As first-time homebuyers, we appreciated the guidance and patience the HF Team had with us as we learned how the entire process worked. That was many years ago and we still love our home. We've referred a few friends to them who also had a good experience working with the team. They are a generous and kind team and we've enjoyed staying in touch with them over the years
"10/10 recommend! The Hoffman Murphy team helped us purchase a home sight unseen from 2000 miles away 2 years ago and still keep in touch with market data and invites to all of their events. They are more than our realtors; they are our friends!"
"Thank you so much - to the whole team at Hoffman Murphy who supported and guided us through this hectic process! When we had an unexpected opportunity to buy, Sue and her team provided crucial guidance as we navigated first time home ownership. The team was always just a phone call, email, or text away when we had questions and concerns - and provided a much appreciated hu
"Everything about my experience with Melissa Pilon at Hoffman Murphy was exceptional. She oversaw getting my home ready for leasing since I now live out of town. She stayed in frequent touch with me to make sure everything was done just the way I wanted it. Most importantly, she gave me great advice about what to do (and what not to do) to get a great tenant at a great rent
"If I could give Melissa Pilon a hundred stars, I would. Her passion for matching people with the home of their dreams is so heartwarming and inspiring. She's an amazing listener. She got to know me (and my wishlist!) well and helped me find a magical little spot to call my own. But finding, I realize, is the easy part in California! The next step is beating out all of the
"We would give 100 STARS for this amazing real estate team! Patient, professional, passionate, knowledgable, dedicated, kind, considerate... there aren't enough adjectives to describe just how incredible this team is from start to finish. Our checklist for a new house (aka: our "Unicorn") was over a mile long and we also had to go through the daunting process of selling our
"Valerie and the whole Hoffman Murphy team were great to work with. Not only did they help us find the perfect home, but they also found us great renters for our previous property. Professional, friendly, and great service!!"
"We worked with Melissa Pilon at Hoffman Murphy and we highly recommend her. She is enthusiastic, professional, fun to be with, and was absolutely dedicated to getting us the house we wanted. She worked morning, noon, and night for us, and was incredibly responsive to any emails or calls. We eventually found ourselves in a bidding war with 25 other offers on the table, and
"While this Thanksgiving holiday may be different from other years, it may well be the most memorable. As we’re starting to unpack and getting ready for the holidays, we couldn’t believe we are here @ our dream home... our biggest thanks and kudos go to the Hoffman Murphy team! We had a tough start with selling our townhome in Redondo Beach, and we knew we need to go with
"Hoffman Murphy represented us to both sell a home and buy a home. They have immense local knowledge and provided the best advice for successfully selling our home. They are the most responsive and expert realtors we have known. On top of that they are extremely community minded and maintain great relationships long after the deals are done."

"Susan & The Hoffman Murphy team were fantastic. We had tried another realty company prior to them and listed it on the market twice and the house did not sell. Then we tried the Hoffman Murphy team and literally had two offers the first weekend that it went on the market. We sold the house shortly after. Thanks again."

"Purchased a property through the Hoffman agency, Bob Walatka represented me through the entire process and was very transparent and communicative in the entire process, from presenting the offer to close of escrow. Bob Walatka made himself available 24/7 . The end result purchased the property with a very tight close date of less than 10 days, so lots of wheels were in m
