Mickey Murray

 Mickey Murray's career in real estate is a natural extension of her years as owner and merchandise director of "Whispering Pines" an award winning home goods company and lifestyle catalog. Always drawn to good architecture and inspired by interesting and beautiful spaces, Mickey brings along with her professional experience, her personal knowledge as the buyer and seller of co-ops, condos and homes, having bought, sold, decorated and remodeled 15 properties over the last 20 years for friends and family. Now working as a full time real estate salesperson, she uses her first-hand knowledge of the intricacies and uniqueness of every transaction to give her clients a valuable advantage. Most importantly, she knows what it feels like to be both a buyer and seller and what her clients need and want from an effective agent. Buyers and sellers of New York City properties trust Mickey's guidance and resources. Mickey's astute attention to the needs of her clients teamed with her extensive knowledge of neighborhoods and buildings makes the process of buying or selling a New York home seamless and even fun. Sellers rely on her analysis of the market and pricing acumen as well as her hands-on approach when it comes to staging and preparing houses for market. Mickey loves the challenge of developing an effective marketing plan that both tells the story of the house and gets maximum local and global print and internet exposure so that the properties she represents find the perfect match as quickly as possible. When working with buyers it's her love of the hunt and making sure her customers have the inside track to close the deal and get the home they love.

A native of Chicago, Mickey studied Theatre Arts at St. Mary of the Woods College in Indiana before moving to New York City to work in television production. She found her way to NBC, first working as an NBC page and then working for The Johnny Carson Show, The Dick Cavett Show, HBO original programming and many others. In 1982 Mickey and her family moved to Sneden's Landing, New York. Mickey followed her entrepreneurial spirit by opening a rustic home goods shop in Piermont, NY called Whispering Pines, Things for the Cabin, inspired by her love of the Adirondacks and northern Wisconsin. Later moving to Westport, CT with her two sons in 1996, Mickey used both her merchandising and marketing skills to grow Whispering Pines into a nationally-recognized, award winning catalog and ecommerce business. During her years in Connecticut she served on several community nonprofit and educational boards including her son’s school, St. Luke’s in New Canaan, Ct. and Lawyers for Children, a New York City based non-profit organization that represents children in the foster care system. After raising her sons, Mickey moved back to New York and lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
