About Us
Your Just 3% Team
We are a proud family-run business, successful since 2003.
Everyone knows real estate prices continue to rise – then why don’t commission rates get lower?
Well – now they have.
Welcome to Just 3 Percent Realty, a full-service, full MLS brokerage: selling on time, for top sales price, and for much less commission.
In fact, if you pay 5%, you will be paying 40% more commission than you would Just 3%. That’s a ton.
The Brokerage was founded in 2014 by husband and wife team Linda Amor and Matt Murphy, joined a few years ago by daughter Lauren Murphy. The model followed several other successful 3% brokerages across Canada.
They had been a top team with a 5% brokerage for well over a decade – but they were denied from lowering their commission. Instead, they had to fork over their seller’s money to the big box company that maintained huge bricks and mortar costs, dozens of part-time agents and international advertising that does nothing to sell your house.
Check out the Just 3% unbiased 5-star Google reviews – “Our clients say it best,” said Murphy. “We provide top-level service and results for the least commission.”
Linda Amor
Broker
Has been a top producer for more than 20 years. She’s a communications expert: a former television producer, and newspaper and magazine editor. With four girls and six grandchildren, she makes sure to always leave time for family, no matter how busy. And this is one busy lady! She somehow also finds time to read a novel a week and romp with her Border Collie Monty and Shepherd Rosie.
Matt Murphy
Broker Of Record
Was the first family member to make the jump into real estate in 2002. He immediately became a top-10 agent for RE/MAX, and then founded Just 3 Percent Realty Inc. with Linda Amor in 2014. Before becoming a Realtor, he ran a number of family businesses. He’s a Trent alumni and met Linda at college in Barrie (41 years together). When not working, he dabbles with his guitars and rumbles with his grandkids.
Lauren Murphy
Sales Representative
Hit the ground running a few years ago and never looked back. She grew up immersed in real estate, so she’s a natural. Other than selling homes, Lauren is a trained actor and singer, with many credits on local stages (4th Line Theatre, Peterborough Theatre Guild, Northumberland Players) and television. Now, she’s a mom too!
Testimonials
What is it really like to work with us to buy, sell or lease a property? Of course, we can tell you but we prefer to let our clients do the talking.
Here’s a selection of real experiences and honest feedback that we hope will help you choose the best real estate agent for you!
VERY HELPFUL AND PATIENT!
We bought our first house from Just 3%. They worked with us to figure out what we really wanted. Very helpful and patient walking us through all the steps to ensure we got into the perfect house for us (with our beautiful big yard)! We are getting married this year so the extra money will certainly help with that!
WE WOULDN’T HESITATE TO USE JUST 3% REALTY AGAIN!
Working with Just 3% has always been a great experience for our family. We have used them for both buying and selling and they always get us exactly what we are looking for and then some! They are always honest and realistic in what to expect from the current market. Their no pressure approach makes the process easy and stress free. All the money we saved on commission helped us build our new home faster! Hopefully we are in our final home, but if not, we wouldn’t hesitate to use Just 3% Realty again!
HOUSE SOLD! ONE WEEK! ABOVE EXPECTATIONS!
How could that be any better?
I have worked with Matt and Linda three times now, twice on home sales and once on a home purchase. I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly.
I’m recently retired, but in my previous profession the key ingredient to success was engaging with people where they were at and moving towards shared outcomes along a path that reduced the stress and challenge of change. In all of my experiences with Matt and Linda it’s been a great comfort to recognize this approach being taken in facilitating real estate transactions. If you’ve got this kind of business to conduct, this is the team you should get in touch with.
THE MONEY I SAVED PAID MY LEGAL FEES.
Working with Just 3% was a real pleasure. There was no pressure. Readily available and answered ALL my questions. The money I saved paid my legal fees. Sweet!
