I want to say a huge thanks to Chris for being so willing, helpful, and flexible during this process. Because of him everything moved forward with total ease.

Chris Murray is an absolute rockstar realtor in Saint Augustine! Over the past two years, he's helped us purchase three short-term rental properties, and every single one is performing exactly as he projected—or better. His market knowledge is second to none, especially when it comes to the short-term rental space. What really sets Chris apart is his incredible network of local professionals who keep our properties running smoothly. As a self-managed owner, having someone like Chris in my corner has been absolutely priceless. He's always just a call or text away, full of insights, and genuinely invested in our success. If you're looking to invest in the Saint Augustine area, especially in short-term rentals, do yourself a favor and work with Chris Murray. You won't find anyone more knowledgeable or supportive. Highly recommend!

I have counted my blessings every day from the first phone call all the way through close - and honestly, I hope we stay friends. Chris was not only knowledgabe on the market, an investor himself, and super connected - he never gave me the hard sell. Ever. And, he connected me to every other player in the game. From the inspectors, to the property manager, insurer, and in between. My wife and I always felt he was in our corner. I cannot recommend enough and I would definitely use him again. I refer everyone I know buying in this part of Florida.

We had an outstanding experience with Chris. From the very beginning, he is very professional, knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely committed to finding us the right house for investment. He guided us through the whole process, answered our questions promptly and made,what could have been a stressful experience seem smooth and manageable. His expertise in local market, attention to details and strong negotiation skills were invaluable. We always felt that our best interests were his top priority. Wether it's scheduling showings, providing honest advice, or helping us navigate inspection and closing. He went above and beyond our expectations. We are extremely grateful for his dedication, patience and hardwork. We highly recommend Chris to anyone one looking to buy or sell a home. He truly cares about his clients and deliver exceptional results

Chris was an exceptional partner in the process of buying my first home, which will double as an investment property. He was highly-knowledgeable on all the neighborhoods in St. Augustine, FL that I was interested in, and we were able to evaluate several different options. I found a small, local homebuilder that designed very unique homes, and it turned out Chris had a strong relationship with them already. I would highly recommend working with him on your first (or next) deal!

Chris was an exceptional agent for us. We were purchasing our property mostly remotely and he did everything he could to make us feel like we were right there with him, sending us video footage and face timing to make us feel even more confident with our purchase. He also had deep connections with the market and was able to link us up with many support staff during the buying process so we could hit the ground running with our rental once we closed!

We have worked with Chris on a number of purchases and even recommended him to a friend who also had a great experience. Chris is friendly, professional, and hooked into a range of service providers who make the process so much simpler. Highly recommend.

I don't think it is possible to be more impressed with my experience working with Chris. He was so knowledgeable about our market, current trends and knew what would help buyers make an offer. We worked with Chris to sell one of our investment properties and he brought us the buyer and we were under contract the day the house went on the market. He is absolutely lovely to work with, was always able to answer any questions we had and we felt confident that he had our best interest in mind. I've recommended him to so many investors and buyers looking for their new homes and they have all also been extremely happy working with him. Do yourself a favor and give him a call for any buying or selling needs!

Chris was a pleasure to work with on this transaction. We signed a contract in April of 2021 to build a new unit and thought the condo would be done within 12 months. The actual time was 33 months. Chris worked with us through all the ups and downs and stayed focused. We were out of town on many occasions and he acted as our representative with the builder and developer. At the end of the journey we are very happy with our purchase despite the long delays. I would STRONGLY recommend Chris when considering the St. Augustine area. He is a true professional.

Christopher helped my husband and I purchase our first investment property and we have found him to be knowledgeable and efficient, taking time for our questions and to offer experience and advice. It is evident while working with him that he is honest and cares about your desired outcome. He has gone above and beyond offering his valuable experience and our family is grateful for him. The world could use more real estate professionals like Chris, and you won’t regret working with him!

Chris Mury, of the Newcomer group, was the ideal partner for our us to navigate the search, negotiation and purchase of our first investment property. We were searching long distance (NYS) for a property in St. Augustine, FL, after falling in love with the area over multiple visits. We are novices to the short term rental market, as well as the Florida real estate market. Chris had a long term view with us, demonstrating patience while we learned, explored, and built up our resources. He helped us evaluate multiple properties over a 2 year period. He was willing to seek additional information and represent our interests through multiple offer processes. We eventually found the right property and he helped us negotiate a fair deal and secure favorable seller financing which elevated the value of the purchase. Perhaps, most importantly, Chris had been there for us every step of the way, including post purchase. We had to navigate some tricky transitions with existing reservations, and the additional complexities of being first time STR owners setting up all of the systems and processes. He has been an open book for his network of cleaners, contractors and all manner of services. Every recommendation he has made has been solid, and all spoke highly of Chris. I fully endorse working with Chris for anyone seeking to purchase or sell a home, both for personal as well as for investment purposes. He will be the only agent I work with moving forward.

Chris did an amazing job for my family and I. As someone who wanted to get into the Saint Augustine market as an investor, he has been a fantastic resource the entire time. It took us about a year to find the right property, but he was always eager to help and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. His Rolodex of resources has also been tremendously beneficial as he was able to help us close the gaps on the other areas of the process that we were not prepared to address. Couldn’t recommend Chris and his team more.

My wife and I closed on our beachfront home, 3/10/2025, and we couldn’t be happier — not just with our new home, but with the outstanding experience we had working with Chris. We’ve had a wide range of experiences with realtors in the past, some who only show you their company’s listings or push properties they think you want without really listening. Chris was completely different from the very first phone call. From the beginning, Chris took the time to understand why we were looking for a home, what we hoped to find, and what we considered to be a fair market value. He never once tried to push us in any particular direction — instead, he genuinely listened to our feedback and adapted our search accordingly. We spent an entire day touring homes along the Florida coast, and we were both amazed by the amount of research and local knowledge Chris brought to the table. He knew the area inside and out — from the neighborhoods to the market trends, and even some of the neighbors! His level of preparation and expertise was far beyond what we expected. What stood out most about Chris was his approach. He was never pushy, always respectful, and incredibly personable. It was clear that his only goal was to help us find the perfect home — and that’s exactly what he did. The house we ultimately chose checked every box we had, and we know that without Chris, we might have missed this opportunity. Another huge bonus was Chris’s expertise in short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO. Since he owns investment properties himself, he was able to provide invaluable insight into the business side of things, which made us feel much more confident about buying a home from out of state. Even after closing, Chris has continued to be an incredible resource — connecting us with reliable, trusted contractors for any work we need done on the house. Looking back, we truly feel like we lucked out getting Chris as our agent. His professionalism, deep market knowledge, and genuine care for his clients make him stand out in every way. If you’re considering buying a home in the Jacksonville or St. Augustine area — whether it’s for personal use or as an investment — we can’t recommend Chris highly enough. He didn’t just help us buy a house — he helped us navigate the entire process, plan our business model, and connect us with all the right people to make our dream a reality.

I highly recommend Chris Mury! As an investor looking to purchase a mixed-use property for "house hacking", I needed an agent with market knowledge who could understand my strategy. The process turned out to be more challenging than I anticipated. Thanks to Chris, I now have a fantastic property that not only fits my investment strategy today but also has the potential to generate returns in the future which is tough in the current real estate environment.

Chris was an exceptional agent with helping us find our investment property. Not only did he help with the purchase, he was also very informative with setting up processes and market knowledge.

Chris has been an incredible resource on my real estate journey. He is tuned to the local area and market, and has the confidence and professionalism to handle whatever comes up. Importantly, we were looking for a STR and he knows all the particulars and nuances - zoning, pricing, quotes for occupancy etc. We had a setback with financing that was 100% from my own doing, and he was able to make sure this did not affect the deal and even offered multiple solutions that I did not think of. I cannot even count many times he rose above our expectations to help us in whatever capacity we needed. He also understood other offers being made in the area, and what we could do to make our deal a stronger while still keeping our budget in mind and in line with ultimate goal for the property, a STR investment vehicle. We had multiple offers, and with Chris's help ours got accepted. Personally, he is very approachable and understandable and meets you at your knowledge level. He took the time to teach me approaches and concepts that I did not realize I needed to know at the time. He is very responsive and easily reachable. And in fact, while we were making the final offer on this property, he LEFT HIS WORK CHRISTMAS PARTY ON A FRIDAY NIGHT outside of work hours to FINALIZE MY OFFER in time and was more than happy to accommodate my tough schedule and help me out on the weekends. He truly cares about his clients, and is willing to go the extra mile every time. Very fortunate to have him on my side, could not ask for anything more from a realtor! I 110% will be recommending him to my friends or anyone reading this review, and look forward to working together with Chris and his team on the next deal.

Chris is the best realtor in the area for investors. We were looking for a STR and he had a wealth of knowledge and was happy to share. Since he invests in the area as well, he had a great network he shared from cleaners to handymen, and knew all of the local zoning restrictions. Chris always put our needs above the closing of a deal so it was a great experience. Will definitely use him again.

Chris has been, and will continue to be, my go-to for both personal and investment real estate transactions. He is the most knowledgeable agent I have ever worked with and continues to impress me again and again.

Chris has been incredible to work with. He has now represented me on the buying side and selling side of real estate transactions, and he is now my go to agent in NE Florida. A+ for knowledge, experience, communication, and focus.

Have completed multiple transactions with Chris. He is investor savvy, razor sharp & on top of his game in his market.

Chris is without a doubt the best RE Investor Agent I've been around. I recently worked with Chris and closed on a 3 unit investment property in Saint Augustine Beach, FL. I was looking for my next househack, and after learning that Chris is an extremely successful househacker himself, he simply understood to a different level of what I was trying to accomplish. Chris is hands down the most knowledgeable and professional investor friendly agent you will ever find! He is an expert of the local market with regulations, has an incredible ability to analyze deals, has an unbelievably tactical approach when it it comes to negotiating, is incredibly responsiveness to calls/texts, and is also extremely well-networked with insurance agents, contractors, and everyone you need to build a team that will make you successful as an investor moving into a new market. I will only be working with Chris from here on out! If you are looking for a winner - your search is over! Thank you for everything Chris!!

I am a first time real estate investor and I relied on Chris for his experience with investment properties in this local market. While Chris did not send me a property, when I came to him with 3 various properties I found he did not hesitate to schedule showings and work with the selling agent to get all the necessary information I needed to analyze each deal (for the BRRRR approach). On the property we finally purchased, we had a very difficult interaction with the selling agent trying to negotiate with the property owner for a realistic sale price, and Chris stuck through the process with me to carry the deal to the finish line. I would work with Chris again. He knows the REI market very well and has insider tips and tricks on self-managing your properties.

I was referred to Chris Mury through Bigger Pockets. I am an out of town investor who came to Florida for one week to purchase a STR investment property. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable about short term rental properties, and uses his vast understanding of the market to find you the ideal property. He knew all of the short term rental requirements in Saint Augustine Beach, Saint Augustine city, and various restrictions in other surrounding local jurisdictions. Within a few days he identified several quality properties and we had a property under contract right away. Chris gives his clients remarkable customer service beyond just selling the house. He has an extensive network of professionals to help you with all short term rental needs. He was instrumental in helping me locate cleaning services, contractors, and learning the rental property registration requirements. I made this purchase using a 1031 like-kind tax exchange, and Chris easily navigated the extra complexity that this exchange required. I can recommend Chris absolutely and without any reservation.

Chris was instrumental in helping my family and I identify and purchase our first rental property. He knows his market well, both in STR and LTR. He did not seem to mind providing extra guidance to an early investor. He is professional yet approachable. Easy to reach and follows through. You can't go wrong with Chris.

I have bought and sold multiple investment properties and Chris is hands down the best realtor I worked with. I did 1031 exchange with rental I had in Bay Area CA and bought with Chris STR / AirBnb property in St. Augustine. Chris was very knowledgably about all St. Augustine area and especially with STR type of properties and the income they generate. He looked for by best interest, and steered me away from properties that would not best fit my needs. Chris is also very approachable, easy to work with, and very quick to respond, putting a lot of efforts to find the best property for me. I have recommended Chris to few of my other investor friends who are looking to move out of CA and invest in FL.

I initially found Chris through a post on BiggerPockets. We just closed on our first investment property (which will lead to 3 total in the next year) and Chris has been invaluable during the entire process. We were looking for a house hack situation for our first investment property. We toured a property early in 2022 and Chris helped with market area research and was a tremendous resource for real estate investing. Nothing came up for a few months but then out of the blue, Chris called us and said “I have the property you’re looking for”. His experience helped us pull through during a last minute financing issue. He connected us with all local trades and services as well as a top notch local insurance firm and accountant. Chris has local knowledge, real estate investing experience, and a great attention to detail and commitment to his clients.

Chris was extremely knowledgeable about the entire buying process and made every aspect as smooth as possible. But I was also surprised by just how much knowledge he had about the area. I sent him listings, and walked properties in multiple different zip codes with him and he knew every street block by block. I couldn't recommend him enough and will certainly be using him again in the future.

I want to say a huge thanks to Chris for being so willing, helpful, and flexible during this process. Because of him everything moved forward with total ease.

Chris was an exceptional agent for us. We were purchasing our property mostly remotely and he did everything he could to make us feel like we were right there with him, sending us video footage and face timing to make us feel even more confident with our purchase. He also had deep connections with the market and was able to link us up with many support staff during the buying process so we could hit the ground running with our rental once we closed!

We have worked with Chris on a number of purchases and even recommended him to a friend who also had a great experience. Chris is friendly, professional, and hooked into a range of service providers who make the process so much simpler. Highly recommend.

I don't think it is possible to be more impressed with my experience working with Chris. He was so knowledgeable about our market, current trends and knew what would help buyers make an offer. We worked with Chris to sell one of our investment properties and he brought us the buyer and we were under contract the day the house went on the market. He is absolutely lovely to work with, was always able to answer any questions we had and we felt confident that he had our best interest in mind. I've recommended him to so many investors and buyers looking for their new homes and they have all also been extremely happy working with him. Do yourself a favor and give him a call for any buying or selling needs!

Chris was a pleasure to work with on this transaction. We signed a contract in April of 2021 to build a new unit and thought the condo would be done within 12 months. The actual time was 33 months. Chris worked with us through all the ups and downs and stayed focused. We were out of town on many occasions and he acted as our representative with the builder and developer. At the end of the journey we are very happy with our purchase despite the long delays. I would STRONGLY recommend Chris when considering the St. Augustine area. He is a true professional.

Christopher helped my husband and I purchase our first investment property and we have found him to be knowledgeable and efficient, taking time for our questions and to offer experience and advice. It is evident while working with him that he is honest and cares about your desired outcome. He has gone above and beyond offering his valuable experience and our family is grateful for him. The world could use more real estate professionals like Chris, and you won’t regret working with him!

Chris Mury, of the Newcomer group, was the ideal partner for our us to navigate the search, negotiation and purchase of our first investment property. We were searching long distance (NYS) for a property in St. Augustine, FL, after falling in love with the area over multiple visits. We are novices to the short term rental market, as well as the Florida real estate market. Chris had a long term view with us, demonstrating patience while we learned, explored, and built up our resources. He helped us evaluate multiple properties over a 2 year period. He was willing to seek additional information and represent our interests through multiple offer processes. We eventually found the right property and he helped us negotiate a fair deal and secure favorable seller financing which elevated the value of the purchase. Perhaps, most importantly, Chris had been there for us every step of the way, including post purchase. We had to navigate some tricky transitions with existing reservations, and the additional complexities of being first time STR owners setting up all of the systems and processes. He has been an open book for his network of cleaners, contractors and all manner of services. Every recommendation he has made has been solid, and all spoke highly of Chris. I fully endorse working with Chris for anyone seeking to purchase or sell a home, both for personal as well as for investment purposes. He will be the only agent I work with moving forward.

Chris was an exceptional agent with helping us find our investment property. Not only did he help with the purchase, he was also very informative with setting up processes and market knowledge.
