Ron Murphy
Ron began his career in 1988 as an intern for Appraisal Network, a Latham based real estate appraisal firm. After graduating from Siena College in 1990 he worked for Appraisal Network as a real estate appraiser. After several years in the industry, Ron was promoted to Chief Review Appraiser for Appraisal Network. In 1995 Ron broke away from Appraisal Network and formed Murphy Appraisal Services. Two years later Ron Murphy and Tony Mariotti (Appraisal Network) merged the two companies and went by the name Appraisal Network. Appraisal Network went on to become one of the leading appraisal companies in the Capital Region. In 2004 Appraisal Network merged with Dan Munn and Empire Appraisal Inc. to form Empire-Appraisal Network. Empire-Appraisal Network is currently one of the larger appraisal firms in New York State. Ron has been a licensed real estate broker for over thirty years and is currently a managing partner of High Rock Realty in Ballston Spa. One of the main long-term goals of these partnerships was to diversify within the industry and use the partners’ expertise to grow the business. After twenty plus years of buying, selling, appraising, and managing real estate Ron Murphy, Tony Mariotti, and Dan Munn formed High Rock Property Management which currently owns and manages over 100 commercial and residential units.
