We’ve bought and sold 2 homes with Joe. He’s undoubtedly the best agent in and around Fort Drum. If you are a soldier PCSing in or out of the area Joe is the only agent you need to call. He works harder than any real estate agent, often acting on your behalf if you are out of state. He goes above and beyond what a typical agent offers, is extremely responsive, and maintains a long list of trustworthy contractors if needed.

Working with Joseph Murtha was hands down one of the best decisions we made during our home sale process. Real estate transactions can become stressful quickly, especially when unexpected issues arise near closing, but Joe remained professional, composed, and responsive throughout the entire experience.What stood out most was his ability to stay calm under pressure while advocating for his clients. He communicated consistently, kept us informed, and handled difficult personalities and last-minute complications with far more patience than most people would have. Even when tensions escalated, Joe continued trying to move the deal forward professionally instead of feeding into the drama.Joe is knowledgeable about contracts, timelines, negotiations, and the realities of the market, but more importantly, he carries himself with integrity. He never overpromised, never disappeared when things got complicated, and never stopped working to protect our interests.One thing people should understand is that a realtor can only control so much in a transaction involving multiple parties, attorneys, inspectors, buyers, sellers, lenders, and emotions. What matters is how they respond under pressure, and Joe proved exactly why he has the reputation he does.If you want an agent who is responsive, hardworking, honest, and willing to go to bat for you when things get difficult, Joseph Murtha is the person you want in your corner.
