REMAX Empire Properties · Murrieta, CA · Independently Owned and Operated

Where Serious Agents
Come to Produce More.

Chris & Andrea Murray built this brokerage because they outgrew what their previous broker could offer. They have been in the field every single day since 2003. They know exactly what a producing agent deals with because they deal with it too. When you join this office, you have two broker owners who have your back — not because it is their job, but because they have lived every part of this business themselves.

The Numbers That Matter

9 Agents. $108 Million.

It is not about how many agents a brokerage has. It is about what each one actually does. The largest offices in this market measure success by headcount. We measure it by per-agent production. The difference is not subtle. Here is what it looks like side by side.

Agents
$3.4B Annual Volume
$2M average production per agent

Our agents average 6x more production per person than the largest office in this market. That gap does not happen by accident. It happens when a brokerage is built specifically around serious producers instead of volume recruitment. When everyone in the room operates at a high level, the standard changes and it raises what is possible for every agent in it. That is the environment you would be walking into.

Our Story

Built Because We Needed It. Then We Opened the Doors.

Chris & Andrea Murray have been in real estate together since 2003. Chris came up through The Mike Ferry Organization before earning his license in 2002, where he trained alongside top producers and learned the disciplines that would define his career. Andrea joined in 2005, bringing a background in law enforcement and the systems-driven thinking that has shaped every part of this business from day one.


When Chris & Andrea moved to the Inland Empire in 2004, their production took off immediately. They built a dominant presence across Riverside County that compounded every single year. By 2012 the Wall Street Journal and RealTrends ranked them number one in the county. They held that position for seven consecutive years, also earning the top spot in the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metro area multiple times during that run.

In 2018 they opened REMAX Empire Properties, taking The Murray Team with them. They built exactly the infrastructure a high-producing agent actually needs, from live answer phones and in-house Matterport and drone capability to direct broker access and paperless operations built for speed. Today this office is consistently recognized as one of the top producing REMAX offices in California, led by two broker owners who have never stopped selling.

Who This Office Is For

We Are Selective. That Is the Whole Point.

Agent count stays intentionally low. Production stays high. This office was never built to grow headcount. It was built to grow production. The agent who belongs here is already producing consistently, knows what they are capable of, and is looking for a brokerage that finally matches their level and gets out of their way.

3+ Years Licensed

This office is built for agents with at least three years of real estate experience who already understand the business and are ready for stronger support.

Team or Sales Background

You have worked inside a sales-driven environment, team structure, or production-based business and understand accountability, follow-up, and momentum.

Professional Producer

Ethical. Detail-oriented. Communicative. You know how to close deals and want a brokerage that supports your growth without micromanaging your business.

Why REMAX Empire Properties

Every REMAX Office Has the Brand.
This One Has Brokers Who Still Close Deals.

Chris & Andrea are not retired top producers who moved into management. They are active producing broker owners who have been in this market together since 2003. When you need support on a complex transaction, you are talking to someone who closed a deal this week.

Mike Ferry Elite Brokerage


Chris began his career at The Mike Ferry Organization in 2003. Those disciplines took him to number one in Riverside County for seven consecutive years and still run this office today. Coaching here comes from people who still apply it in their own production.

HUD Approved Listing Broker


Agents here can write offers on HUD homes. Most agents in the Inland Empire cannot because their broker is not approved. A real competitive advantage for investor, FHA, and first-time buyer clients across Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, and throughout Riverside County.

Live Answer Office Phone


A real person answers every call. Transferred directly to you or messaged immediately. Faster lead response. More professional first impression. Most local brokerages do not have this.

Boutique by Design


Agent count stays intentionally low so every person gets direct broker access and real support. The professionals here include licensed brokers who could operate independently but choose this office for the trust, guidance, and infrastructure it provides. No seat fillers. No corporate layers between you and the people who own this office.

145,000+ Agent Network


REMAX agents average 11.7 transaction sides, the highest of any national brokerage for 17 consecutive years. 36.4% brand awareness, number one in the industry. Agent-to-agent referrals with no fee attached.

"We built this office because we were producing at the highest level in this county and our broker could not keep up with us. We knew other serious agents were in the same position. Everything here is what we needed and did not have."
