“We purchased a townhome in Emeryville at the top of the market in 2007. When we moved from Emeryville to Dallas four years ago, the value had decreased by $200,000. We considered our options (short sale, foreclosure) and in the end we decided to rent the townhouse and wait for the market to recover. It took a long time but Julie has her finger on the pulse of the market and knew exactly when the right time was. Since we were living in another state we relied on Julie for everything. Even before our tenants lease expired Julie was making arrangements for her painter and stager to come in. As soon as the unit was vacant she and her vendors went to work. Within a week the house was inspected, repainted, cleaned and staged. She convinced us to put it on the MLS in August which is normally a slow month, but she knew there was buyer demand and did not want to wait. And after just one weekend open house we received an offer that was well above the asking price. It was not an easy transaction, the buyer was difficult and demanding but Julie helped us every step of the way and used her expertise to help close the deal. She was always available either by phone, text or email, answered all our questions and got us a great selling price. I have the highest confidence in Julie and would recommend her without any reservation – she is prompt, thorough, responsive, knowledgeable and a tough negotiator – all the hallmarks of a great real estate agent!”
