Relocation, done right.
From your first phone call to your closing day, John coordinates the details of a long-distance move — school districts, timelines, movers, even where to eat while you house-hunt.
Whether you're retiring, relocating for a fresh start, or searching for the waterfront home you've always pictured — John & Deb Murphy have guided families through this exact move for years. Let's make it feel like home before you even arrive.
John and Deb Murphy built The Reserve Team on one belief: every client deserves top-shelf service, whether they're buying their first Lowcountry home or their forever one.
From your first phone call to your closing day, John coordinates the details of a long-distance move — school districts, timelines, movers, even where to eat while you house-hunt.
John's market knowledge and Deb's Southern hospitality mean you're never waiting on a callback or an assistant. Someone who knows your file always picks up.
Selling a longtime home up north and buying your retirement home down south are two very different transactions. John handles both — often at the same time.
John spent his life in Upstate New York before trading winters for the marshes of the Lowcountry. That's not a marketing line — it's why he understands exactly what you're feeling right now: the excitement, the logistics, the "will this actually feel like home?" question that every relocating family asks.
Today, John and his wife Deb lead The Reserve Team at Homesfinder Realty Group, helping buyers and sellers navigate Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort, and the surrounding Lowcountry with the patience of people who've made the trip themselves.
Every year, thousands of families trade snow shovels for golf carts and boat docks. John built his entire practice around helping them do it smoothly.
