Chip Murphy

Michael Saunders & Company

One of the youngest real estate executives in the country, Chip Murphy continues to shape the industry’s future with vision and purpose. During a time of significant change in the real estate landscape, he was at the forefront, spearheading education and training initiatives to successfully navigate the complexities of the NAR settlement, ensuring agents were well-prepared while preserving the high standard of professionalism.

In 2024, Murphy was honored in Sarasota Magazine’s 35 Under 35, and his company was recognized with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®’s highest distinction—the Diamond Award—a reflection of the firm’s unwavering commitment to excellence. Even amid a challenging market, their ancillary companies remained profitable in a year when many struggled to do so.

“Watching agents and leaders grow from start to success, seeing their confidence build as they navigate challenges and achieve their goals, is what has kept me engaged in this incredible career,” says Murphy. “Building a culture of collaboration, professionalism and shared success has been the cornerstone of my approach, and it is this commitment to empowering others that continues to drive my passion for the real estate industry.”
