THE APPRAISER'S EDGE. THE RELOCATOR'S INSIGHT. My name is Tom Dunphy, and I am a licensed real estate sales associate with Fulton Grace Realty serving buyers and sellers throughout Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties. I bring a unique perspective to real estate. I have been a State-Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser since 1998 and have completed approximately 19,000 residential appraisals. My appraisal credential is Thomas J. Dunphy III, State-Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser RD8755. That experience allows me to analyze market trends, evaluate comparable sales, and help clients make informed real estate decisions based on market data rather than guesswork. I serve buyers and sellers throughout Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties, including Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Jupiter, and Port St. Lucie. Through my expanding Florida real estate network and market coverage, I also assist clients with real estate needs throughout Broward and Miami-Dade counties. If you're thinking about selling, I'll provide a detailed analysis of comparable sales, current market conditions, and your property's strengths so we can position it competitively from day one. If you're buying a home or relocating from the Northeast or other parts of the country, I'll help you understand local market values, identify opportunities, and avoid overpaying for a property that may not be the right fit. My approach is straightforward, honest, and pressure-free. I'm not a traditional salesperson. I'm an experienced appraiser who also sells real estate, providing clients with a level of valuation expertise that most agents simply cannot offer. Whether you're buying, selling, or relocating, my goal is to help you make confident decisions backed by market knowledge and professional experience.
