We’ve bought and sold 2 homes with Joe. He’s undoubtedly the best agent in and around Fort Drum. If you are a soldier PCSing in or out of the area Joe is the only agent you need to call. He works harder than any real estate agent, often acting on your behalf if you are out of state. He goes above and beyond what a typical agent offers, is extremely responsive, and maintains a long list of trustworthy contractors if needed.

Working with Joseph Murtha was hands down one of the best decisions we made during our home sale process. Real estate transactions can become stressful quickly, especially when unexpected issues arise near closing, but Joe remained professional, composed, and responsive throughout the entire experience.What stood out most was his ability to stay calm under pressure while advocating for his clients. He communicated consistently, kept us informed, and handled difficult personalities and last-minute complications with far more patience than most people would have. Even when tensions escalated, Joe continued trying to move the deal forward professionally instead of feeding into the drama.Joe is knowledgeable about contracts, timelines, negotiations, and the realities of the market, but more importantly, he carries himself with integrity. He never overpromised, never disappeared when things got complicated, and never stopped working to protect our interests.One thing people should understand is that a realtor can only control so much in a transaction involving multiple parties, attorneys, inspectors, buyers, sellers, lenders, and emotions. What matters is how they respond under pressure, and Joe proved exactly why he has the reputation he does.If you want an agent who is responsive, hardworking, honest, and willing to go to bat for you when things get difficult, Joseph Murtha is the person you want in your corner.

Joseph Murtha is excellent to work with and very professional. Our house sold quickly and at market value! The only reason we gave him 5 STAR is because there isn’t a 10!! Just hire him, you’ll be happy you did! The rest will take care of itself!

5-Star Review for Joseph Murtha – The #1 Realtor in Jefferson & Lewis CountyWhen I decided it was time to buy a home, I reached out to my nephew, Joseph Murtha. I’ll admit—I was a bit reluctant to work with family. But Joe’s reputation as the #1 real estate agent in Jefferson and Lewis County gave me confidence, and I’m so glad I made that call.As a first-time home buyer, I had no idea what to expect and felt overwhelmed at times. Joe walked me through the entire process, step by step. He made sure I always knew where I stood, explained everything clearly, and never left me guessing. He also provided a network of trusted professionals—home inspectors, real estate attorneys, lenders, contractors, and even first-time buyer grant information.The home I fell in love with ended up in a multiple offer situation, which was extremely stressful. But Joe’s expert advice and strategic guidance helped me make the strongest offer. Thanks to him, I won the home I wanted—something I honestly wasn’t sure would happen in today’s competitive market.Joe’s professionalism, deep market knowledge, and dedication to his clients made all the difference. If you’re looking for the best realtor in Jefferson or Lewis County, especially as a first-time buyer, I can’t recommend Joseph Murtha enough. He truly made my dream of homeownership come true.

We were very fortunate to have Joe as our realtor. We were home searching from out of State..so needed to have a Realtor we could trust as we would be buying house unseen except what we could see on Zillow. Joe quickly understood our wants and needs..what would work and what would not. We were downsizing at the same time which can be challenging..so thankfully Joe understood and was always positive and professional. We really appreciate Joe (and Jacqueline) in helping us find our new home!
