Introducing

Murray Coop

Licensee Salesperson
Ray White Tutukaka

Born and raised in Northland, Murray is committed to achieving best outcomes for family, business and community relations.  Borne out by huge numbers of sterling testimonies, it is fair to say that he carries a great reputation as one of the leading estate agents in the Whangarei area.  In recent years Murray has worked exclusively at the Tutukaka Coast Ray White office in partnership with Peter Vink. Together with Murray's wife Leah they make a formidable team achieving excellence in marketing coastal properties to the international market.

Murray devotes a very big part of his life to real estate sales.  After 17 years working for Ray White he is nothing short of expert at recognising the right path to the best result for his client.  Often is the case that homeowners watch a sales process unfold reaching results far exceeding expectations.

Community service is important to Murray.  Along with many years coaching rugby, Murray spent over a decade as president of the Kamo Cricket Club.  He was the foundation member of the Kamo Sports Charitable Trust Board and sat as chairman for some years, working hard toward the establishment of a new cricket and tennis club room and playing/practice facilities.  Murray also sat as the chairman of St John for some years, providing a platform for the delivery of St John services to Whangarei and Tutukaka.

In younger days he played representative sports in various codes as well as running marathons.  Nowadays Murray enjoys time on the ocean with rod in hand when possible.

Murray and his wife Leah work together to provide a first rate service. 

A tried and proven choice over the years, Murray's dedication is to achieving the very best outcome possible.

Lynda Sneddon

To whom it may concern Review of Murray Coop from Ray White Real Estate Ngunguru In February of this year, I put my Tutukaka property into the hands of a real estate company to sell. It was well advertised and attracted a lot of interest. However, there was no securing of an actual sale. My situation became one that it was literally costing me too much to maintain and the property had to 'go'. The option I had was to keep the status quo, or to change agents. I chose to transfer the sale of the property to Ray Whites in Ngunguru. Murray entered into quite a difficult situation, and I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism, his perseverance, energy and 'nothing was too much trouble' approach, which was outstanding. My property was in the hands of your Ngunguru agents on the 6 June and was sold unconditionally with a 21 July settlement and removal date. What was tremendous for me, was that Murray even secured me a property in Ngunguru, that I purchased and moved into on the same date as I departed from Tutukaka. I would have no problem in recommending Murray and the Ngunguru Ray White Agency for any purchase or sale of a property. Lyn Sneddon

I engaged Murray for his excellent knowledge of the Tutukaka Coast area, for his professionalism & desire to achieve required results. This was the 2nd time I have had Murray working on my behalf and both experiences have been exceptional. Besides his great personality , his drive, determination to achieve and excellent communication skills and his willingness to help have cemented him as my go to agent in the area

Annette McCowan

Murray has been amazing sorting out the CCCs to make settlement happen on due date. We could not have done this without his perseverance and as I have said many times he went the extra mile from start to finish. I have been involved in many real estate transactions over my 74 years and Murray is the most diligent real estate salesperson I have come across.

No one can ever score a 10 as there is always something new to learn or improvements to be made, however in saying that Murray was very knowledgeable about the property, vendor and issues that were raised he knew the contacts that could assist (ie) WDC Roading, Planners, Parks & Recreation, Building Compliance.

Terry & Jeanine

Murry is an honest caring individual who is empthetic to all parties involved in the sale and purchase of a dwelling, including the exisiting tenants as in our case. This was a total contrast to other agents we have dealt with who refer to tenants as second class citizens. Murry is an excellent communicator and always returns calls asap.

He was very informative and achieved a better than expected result - thanks!

Murray is aware how to build a relationship to ensure the best outcome for the vendor and Ray White. Murray is proactive in the utilisation of his contacts and a skilled negotiator.

Philip & Naylene

He was attentive , and followed through with things we discussed .

Dean

...I thought I would just drop a line or two with regards to two of your personnel who have assisted us with the successful purchase of the above premises. A lot of flak is cast upon estate agents and as a positive I have to say that your customer & sales consultant Murray Coop has restored much faith for me personally in an industry that can sometimes be frowned upon. Whilst I could write much, in brief I will say Murray has been articulate, assisted in quietly keeping to timelines, knowledgeable, helpful, honest , open and trustworthy. These are powerful words and not used lightly coming from a customer service environment and background. I would recommend Murray as someone who has a professional approach whilst holding everyone’s best interest at heart. He has made us a very happy family. As a further note I would like to make mention of the senior office administrator Janet Watters who has always been very pleasant and made the process quite seamless. It has been much appreciated. Kind regards Dean

Craig and Julie

Gary and Sheryl Bell

Real Estate is an area we are all interested and involved in at some stage of our lives. It is a defining moment when the decision is made to sell or purchase. Having made the decision the next and by far the most important is to select a professional and diligent agent to develop a plan. We made an inspired choice to select "Team Coop" as our Real Estate agents to market and sell a property that proved difficult to establish a price point. A strong marketing plan was established involving the internet, open homes and private viewings. A calendar of key timelines allowed us to follow the plan and then there was the feedback in the form of weekly updates and emails/phone calls of immediate activity. The underpinning factor in our relationship was that there was a strong level of communication. Given that we live in Australia this was so important. Murray and Leah; regardless of the conditional contract being successful we are very appreciative for your guidance, knowledge of the market, energy and determination to make a sale. It goes without saying that we would happily refer others to take up your professional services. Many thanks.

From start to finish Murray had my interests at heart. He believed in my home and was working for me every step of the way. This is an excellent result for me which I am overjoyed at. I tell everyone they must use Murray Coop if they want a professional service along the way to a great result!!! Vendors of 28c Whangarei Heads Road, Onerahi.

Erana Pou

It is with pleasure to write this reference for Murray Coop in relation to his service regarding the sale of 4 Keyte Street. I found Murray not only to be professional in how he conducted the transaction between me and the vendor but also his understanding to our dissimilar life situation. I felt supported with positive comments and vision as I was purchasing a doer upper that I had very little knowledge about. His input was valuable with knowledge of location, sale prices in the area, to giving information on how to organise a property profile. He also arranged for a builder to complete a report on the property as I had no idea how to do this either. Once the transaction was completed he offered to replace the locks on the house (that he wasn't legally responsible to do) due to what the house was utilised for before purchasing and my concerns around safety. THANK YOU Murray. His PR skills were of high standards and I would recommend his expertise to others in the community. 23 May 2007

Linda Reid

Murray Coop was the selling agent for the property we have just bought in Whangarei. He was exceptionally professional throughout a rather messy purchase (NOT his fault) and was very good at keeping us informed. I would be happy to work with Murray and Leah again – and if we sold would certainly list our property with him. June 2012

I was a little unsure of Murray's strategy at the start but the outcome was exactly as he explained it. A result within 10 days. We were very happy with the professional approach to our sale. " Vendor of 31 Fisher Terrace, Kamo.

We had our property on the market with another agent for a few months. Murray introduced us to his market approach and the result in just a few weeks was much better than expected. He used solid market understanding to achieve a fantastic outcome. Vendors of 2/209 Corks Road, Tikipunga.

Murray did a fantastic job. There was always lots of interest with a total of seven offers on my place. Murray worked the buyers to a better than expected result. Exactly what he said would happen, happened! Vendors of 173 Raumanga Valley Road

I just knew as soon as I started talking to Murray that he was going to do the job for me. Vendors of 63 Fisher Terrace, Kamo.
