A Trustworthy Partner for Life’s Transitions
Trust.
It’s a word that comes up often around Roberta Murphy.

She has been in real estate “since the last millennium,” she says with a grin. And her 25-plus years of experience have yielded lifelong clients and a an award of as one of the Top 10 Real Estate Brokerages in San Diego for 2010 (by the San Diego Union Tribune).
But awards aren’t why Roberta enjoys the real estate business. It’s connecting with buyers and sellers in balmy San Diego and successfully guiding them through searches, marketing, negotiations, and closings. She gets a charge out of helping her clients find the best path through life’s transitions, and she always acts in their best interests—even if that means advising not to buy or sell a property. Of course, a quick sense of humor doesn’t hurt in any situation. Roberta keeps even the stickiest negotiations amicable.
