About Julie Gardner

I am a wife, a mother, a REALTOR, a community volunteer, a weekly blogger, a philanthropist, a comic at heart, a lapsed athlete, a flea market junkie, a serial renovator, and a prolific chocolate chip cookie baker. I enjoy a good book, a fabulous "find," an undiscovered treasure, and long walks on the beach - often with my husband and dog in tow. After more than a decade honing my skills, I moved to McGuire Real Estate in 2017 to offer my clients greater regional and international reach, better technology, and a more relevant marketing approach to both buying and selling that are especially important in this highly competitive marketplace. With offices in San Francisco, Marin and the East Bay, McGuire is "boutique" enough to be hands-on, but offers a more expansive snapshot of the Bay Area communities it serves. I currently live in the Crocker Highlands neighborhood in Oakland, having sold our Piedmont home a few years ago, and enjoy working with both motivated Buyers and Sellers alike. Having bought and renovated several homes of my own over the years, I believe wholeheartedly in the process and the dream of home-ownership. To that end, I work diligently on my clients' behalf and am delighted to help them navigate this exciting journey - whether in short order, or much further down the road. In my spare time, I write a very popular weekly Blog called "A New Perspective," which tracks lifestyle, community happenings and real estate news in and around the Bay Area. Having spent the first half of my adult life in San Francisco, and my second in the Piedmont/Oakland, I am pleased to have discovered all that this side of the bridge has to offer. The East Bay is an extremely vibrant, and eclectic kaleideiscope of people and experiences and I am proud to add my story to the mix. For more about me and what I bring to the process, I invite you to explore my website at: www.JulieGardner.com. Building Community, One Family at a Time . . .

In June 2017, I moved from Piedmont to Texas. I turned my house over to Julie and Jill Shortley and drove off to Dallas. They did a beautiful job of making the house and cottage aEURoemarket attractiveaEUR?. The house was in contract within 2 weeks and closed on time. I was thrilled with the results that their hard work had generated. I highly recommend Julie and Jill. They knowthe market, are up front and honest and stayed in communication with me through the process.

Julie was a tremendous help to us, when as renters in Piedmont our landlord went into foreclosure with the bank. Julie called me regularly to check in and inform me of what was going on with the bank, and advised us as to our rights. In fact, she was so knowledgeable about the situation that when it finally sold, long after we had moved out, she represented the buyer! She was able to hang in there and ride through the very bumpy short sale and that lovely house found a great family! Fortunately for us, and in no small part due to Julie's diligence we were able to get out long before things got really complicated!

Julie is just the best. We are so lucky to have her as our agent. She knows the area so well, being a local herself, and she has been so patient with us and taught us so much about the market and home-buying. We love her!
