Christy Murphy About Christy

Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker

With more than 30 years of real estate experience, Christy Murphy has built an exceptional career on a simple principle: put clients first, always. Her integrity, discretion, deep market knowledge and unwavering commitment to service have earned her the trust of buyers and seller and consistently placed her  among the top performing real estate professionals nationally.

Christy’s success is rooted not only in experience, but in relationships. She approaches every transaction with the same personal attention and care, whether representing a significant luxury estate, a longtime family home, new construction, a waterfront property, condominium, co-op or townhouse. Calm under pressure and exceptionally attentive to detail, Christy is a skilled and thoughtful negotiator who anticipates challenges, finds solutions and guides her clients confidently through every step of the process.

Her intimate knowledge of the Rye and greater Westchester market has been shaped by decades of both professional and personal experience. Christy understands the nuances that distinguish one neighborhood, street and property from another, and she brings that perspective to everything from pricing and positioning a home to identifying opportunities—often before they reach the market. Her eye for presentation and understanding of what motivates buyers have also made her an invaluable resource to sellers preparing their homes for market.

Before entering real estate, Christy earned a degree in Business Administration and spent nearly a decade in the financial industry with Merrill Lynch, experience that continues to inform her analytical, strategic approach to real estate and negotiation.

But for Christy, real estate has always been about far more than houses. Having raised three daughters in the Rye/Harrison community, she has a genuine love for the area and an appreciation for the schools, neighborhoods, waterfront, recreation and sense of community that make it such an exceptional place to call home. Her longstanding involvement with local organizations, including the Rye YMCA and the Carver Center, reflects that connection.

Perhaps most meaningful are the relationships that have grown from her work. Much of Christy’s business comes from repeat clients and personal referrals—a reflection of the trust she earns and the relationships she maintains long after a transaction is complete. Clients become friends, and families return to her through different stages of their lives. For Christy, there is no greater measure of success than being trusted again—and being recommended to the people her clients care about most.

“Helping someone buy or sell a home is incredibly personal. I never take that trust for granted. I love this community, I love what I do, and I feel very fortunate that so many of the relationships that began through real estate have become lasting friendships.

Christy Murphy and Mimi Magarelli were a great team in supporting me as executor of my Dad's estate in selling his very unique home in a timely fashion and maximizing the value of that sale. This assignment included challenges regarding the positioning and pricing of a unique modernist waterfront home that needed rehabilitation and contained a full medical office property at street level. Christy and Mimi went above and beyond the call of duty in enhancing, protecting and maintaining the vacant home during the sales process which was an incredible value-add for me as a seller who was remote. Several challenging home and dock maintenance issues came up during the sales process and Mimi & Christy were an indispensable support team. Their knowledge of the area, asset class and particular waterfront property regulations were also a great resource as was their help in dealing with providing the records, C of Os and permits required for the town to approve the ultimate sale. Thank you ladies, for a job well done! Richard K. Bernstein Trust

My family worked with Christy Murphy to settle my brother’s estate by selling his house in Rye Brook, NY. Without a doubt Sotheby’s is very fortunate to have an agent of Christy’s caliber representing them. In our many years of dealing with real estate agents she is by far the best professional agent, as well as the kindest, and most understanding we have met. She was always available to receive a phone call, responded promptly, never got agitated, and was exceptionally competent. Christy handled all transactions with the utmost decorum and helped guide us through the process of finding a buyer and selling the house in a way that was extraordinary. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend Christy, without hesitation, to anyone I know. B.I.
