Genuine Leadership and Unmatched Integrity — Ray Murphy Sets the Gold Standard

Few agents have left as lasting an impression as Ray Murphy, Director and Selling Principal of Ray White Cairns. Our recent auction purchase was anything but simple — no prior inspection, and everything had to happen fast. Yet Ray turned what could have been a stressful process into a smooth, supportive experience. Despite a packed schedule, Ray generously dedicated the final hour before the auction to us. He showed us a detailed video walk-through of the property, carefully explained all the documentation, and made sure we were confident and informed — a huge comfort given we hadn’t seen the property in person. He didn’t stop there. Ray supported us during the live auction, offering calm, strategic advice. After our successful bid, timelines were tight, but he again stepped up — personally negotiating contract dates with the seller to make things work. What truly sets Ray apart is his grounded character. Despite leading Ray White Cairns, he remains humble, genuine, and completely trustworthy. He’s not just a high-performing agent — he’s someone you can count on. If you're buying in Cairns, especially under pressure, Ray Murphy is the one you want in your corner.

Ray, You were terrific through the whole process. You and the Ray White team have looked after us for years. If we could do it it all over again, we'd do it with you. All the best.

Great service, great result!

Ray delivered and we got the price we were after. He communicated well throughout the sales process, keeping us informed and updated along the way. I would highly recommend his services and the team at RayWhite Cairns when you decide to sell your property.

Residential/Commercial Success

We asked David and Ray to sell our 2 properties which had been in the family for years. They were sensitive to the complexities of multiple stakeholders and discussed and agreed strategy whilst keeping me informed on an ongoing basis. The family were all very happy with the result.

Excellent service

Ray was on point from the beginning. The set sale price was achieved and the timeframe was good considering a slow period over the holidays.
