Robin Murphy, the newest
real estate broker at Vernonia
Realty & Insurance Center,
started with them in early
August and is now available to
help with all your real estate
needs.
A fifth generation Vernonian,
Murphy knows the area very
well and enjoys helping people.
After working with Nancy
Dailey, of Vernonia Realty, to
buy a house herself, she decid-
ed she wanted to work in the
real estate field and started the
training process. Until her two
girls reached college age, she
was a mom, homemaker and
volunteer. Now, with just her
and her husband, Don, at
home, Murphy has time to pur-
sue a career of her own.
“It’s a great way to meet and
help people, plus doing some-
thing different, fun and interest-
ing,” said Murphy.
If you are looking to buy or
sell a home or property, Robin
