There is no doubt that my role as a real estate agent has become even more important in the past 24 months. Clients rely on my knowledge and expertise in this highly pressurized, competitive market.
With more than 25 years of Sarasota real estate experience, Bev Murray brings extensive local market knowledge, property expertise, negotiation skill, and proven results to buyers and sellers throughout Sarasota and the surrounding communities.
A Sarasota Real Estate Advisor, REALTOR® and Broker Associate with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty, Bev has called Sarasota home since 1999. Alongside sister company Murray Homes, she has been responsible for more than $400 million of real estate bought, sold, and built in the area.
Bev works throughout Sarasota, Siesta Key, Bird Key, Longboat Key, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and surrounding communities. Her experience spans luxury and waterfront homes, established neighborhoods, condominiums, new construction, relocation, vacation and investment properties, vacant land, renovation, and custom home opportunities.
Bev knows that two homes just a few streets apart can represent very different opportunities. Location, condition, land value, boating access, neighborhood dynamics, renovation potential, and future use can all influence value. She combines that property knowledge with an understanding of pricing, inventory, buyer demand, comparable sales, and competition to help clients put the market in context. For buyers, that means understanding value, location, ownership considerations, and property potential. For sellers, it means developing the right preparation, pricing, positioning, marketing, and negotiation strategy from the outset.
Bev’s long association with Sarasota luxury custom home builder Murray Homes gives her a perspective that extends beyond the traditional real estate transaction. She looks beyond the existing house to consider condition, renovation potential, land value, new construction, teardown and rebuild opportunities, and future use.
That insight can be particularly valuable when evaluating Sarasota’s older homes, waterfront properties, vacant land, and properties where future potential may be as important as the existing house.
Bev is a Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist® (CLHMS), Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Luxury Collection Specialist, and Certified Relocation Professional® (CRP). Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, she works with local, national, and international clients.
Clients frequently describe Bev as responsive, knowledgeable, patient, straightforward, and well prepared. Her philosophy is simple:
Listen first. Understand the client’s priorities. Put the property and market in context. Then develop the right strategy.
A graduate of Manchester Metropolitan University in England, Bev’s earlier international career in marketing, recruitment, and relationship management continues to influence the way she works today.
A recent empty nester with three sons, Bev is a competitive tennis player who also loves cooking and traveling. She volunteers weekly with Buddy Up, training and playing alongside young adult athletes with Down syndrome.
The undisputed star of the Murray household, however, is Clemmie, Bev’s 13-year-old golden retriever. She may be deaf these days, but she remains remarkably sprightly and very much in charge.
