So lets talk about our experience in teaming up with Julia for both a sale and purchase transaction. My partner and I are two very different people. Different needs, different approaches, and sometimes even differing philosophies. The constant challenge when you are real estating (is that even a word/verb) is where to find common ground within your own party. Julia did a fantastic job understanding each of our individual interests and helping us strike a balance to reach our near, intermediate, and long-term family goals. I am personally someone who gets pent up with anxiety when big sums of money and long-term commitments are at stake. I half-jokingly refer to Julia as my real estate therapist aEUR" but that is exactly the kind of help and support I need. She kept our party informed, on task, and at ease throughout the entire process. Now lets add on more layers of nuance aEUR" dealing with other parties. There are multiple: the buyer and buyers agent in the sale transaction, the seller and sellers agent in the purchase transaction, title and escrow folks on both sides, your mortgage person and their people, and all the doers that help spruce up, inspect, repair, and validate each property. WHOA aEUR" the guestlist, whether you like it or not, just blew up! All these interactions formulate what I, someone who is used to routine, call a logistical nightmare. These sporadic challenges happen and it is Julia who is there to help manage it all and to provide you an understanding as to the why and how. She is situationally aware of the levers, or more bluntly, where and when you have leverage and where and when you dont. Shes effective in a way that is both kind and fair. Her guidance is what helps navigate the treacherous road of dealing with outside parties that have their own interests. But heres the thing aEUR" Julias value proposition is that she takes a process that is so highly complex, challenging, and stressful and turns it into something fun and rewarding. We loved working with Julia and were so thrilled to have gone through this process with her!

Julia is a brilliant realtor! During negotiation, her guidance and advocacy strike the perfect balance. Does the property need work? Julia's knowledge of local resources and contacts is worth its weight in gold.

My wife and I recently closed on our first home in SE Portland, and Julia was with us from the beginning of our search, through multiple offers, and all the way to closing and beyond. Conducting our search from overseas, we were not your typical clients, yet from the outset, Julia handled this with ease, accommodating our schedule and always responding promptly despite the time difference and distance.Simply put, it was a pleasure to work with Julia, as not only is she laid back and easy to get along with, but her knowledge of the market and real estate trends made her an invaluable resource, helping us feel well informed and secure throughout the process. Though we plan to stay in our new home for many years to come, there is no doubt when/if we decide to sell or look for a new property, Julia will be our realtor.Anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy realtor, you will be in good hands with Julia!

We had the pleasure of selling our home with Julia during a tumultuous time in our local market. Julia provided the expertise and a calming presence to navigate the marketplace with assurance and confidence. She walked us through every step of the process, ensuring the big things and little things (fresh flowers during the open houses!) were taken care of. Our home was dynamically marketed and we received an offer above asking - even as the marketplace was slowing and even declining. Know that you're in good hands when you work with her!

Julia was an unbelievable help! Not only did she listen to what we truly wanted in a home, but she was able to anticipate needs as well. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and shes just a lovely person overall. Moving across country is incredibly stressful and she made our experience enjoyable and advised us perfectly.

Julie was more than helpful in our search for our home! We were moving from out of state and she had great recommendations and worked quickly to get things done. I would recommend her to anyone looking!

Julia recently helped us purchase a new home in this challenging market! She is the best! So knowledgeable, fun and easy to work with. We had to get a bunch of quotes for needed work after the inspection and she was on top of ALL of it! We plan to only work with her in the future and recommend her to everyone!

Moving from out of state can be very difficult considering that it is impossible to see the house and the real condition it's in. Julia was our secret weapon to being able to get our very first home outside of our home state. She was amazing at taking videos of every part of the home and describing everything she was seeing and feeling in each house. Not only was she amazing at helping us find the right house but she also took the time to help us really understand the whole home buying process. Without her, we definitely wouldn't have found our dream home. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient during the whole process which made it easy to trust that we were in the right hands.
