We interviewed several agents and brokers before selling our family home. Julie and Peter immediately made a positive impression with their experience and energetic attitude. They came prepared with detailed comps, information about the neighborhood, and provided examples of work they've done for other clients, as shown in their professionally designed brochures and websites. Once the process started in prepping the home for sale we felt their experience and contacts with the trades (painting, electrical, handyman, hardwood refinishing, photography, staging, landscaping, fencing) that our home would look at its best. Their designer provided ideas about how the house should look and they listened and integrated our ideas and preferences as well. They responded quickly to any of our questions and concerns, hosted an open house for neighbors before the house hit the market, and drove to the coast to pickup a particular type of fern for the patio that our mom would have loved. Seven days on the market, we had several offers and accepted without contingencies, well over asking. All good, would recommend, five stars! https://309-26th.com/ read more

Julie Baumann - Compass - https://309-26th.com/ - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Burlingame, California

Julie has been an invaluable part of our home-buying journey--truly irreplaceable. We are so thankful that we have her expertise and guidance as first-time homebuyers. She answered all of our questions, listened to our wants, and brought an amazing network to the table. Julie was professional with voicing her opinion and was honest with it, which is a rare quality to find in an agent. She does not up sale for the sake of selling. But was smart and careful with how she strategizes and made sure we got what we needed at a great price. Julie consistently reached out to ensure we felt at ease throughout the process and made sure our goals were met without regret. She is thorough, honest and amazing to work with. We got our house at a great price and feel incredibly fortunate to have had Julie by our side every step of the way. Thanks to her, we navigated this complex process with confidence and ended up in a home we truly love. read more

We recently transacted on a home purchase where Julie and Maria had paired together. We initially liked them because they were very pleasant. But they are the kind of agents that bring real estate agents a bad reputation. We paid significantly over the asking price because we really liked the home. After winning the bid, we presented a lawyer-approved offer that was tax advantageous to the seller without affecting their brokerage. They refused to take the offer to the seller in their own self interest, not keeping the interests of their own clients - who really does that? If it doesn't impact their brokerage in any way, why will they not let their own clients benefit? They also flat refused our repeated requests to take down pictures of the home from MLS because of privacy issues - citing that it benefits them to show their staging (we obviously reached out to all the platforms and got the pictures down so not sure why they made a big deal about it). The home had lots of good selling points which we pleasantly discovered after moving in - none of which were highlighted in the listing - so they really did a lot of disservice to their own clients. Please stay away - they put their interests far above their own clients'. read more

I had the pleasure to meet Julie as the buying agent for a new owner at one of the HOAs that I manage in the Bay Area. I can tell that Julie truly cares about her clients, and strives to find the perfect fit for prospective buyers. She is taking special care to make sure that my new resident will feel right at home in the community! read more

Julie has been a tremendous help in navigating my wife and I through the arduous landscape of finding and buying our dream home. We were fortunate to have found her via multiple recommendations. Her experience, expertise, and networks allowed us to find the home we dreamed of in the very competitive Burlingame market. We greatly appreciate Julie's tenacity in working with us and highly recommend her as many others have. read more

My spouse and I reached out to Julie when buying our first home. We liked them best out of all the agents mainly due to how much they cared about us as clients. For instance, in our first meeting, Julie and her husband Peter met with us in their office room and showed us a presentation to tell us more about Julie and her background and how they would go about the process of home-buying. We liked the clarity she brought to the table, and their warmth and decided to proceed with them right away. Over the next 3 months, they came with us to multiple homes, and toured them with us. They would educate us about the walls, foundation, slope, backyard, location, neighborhood etc. and possible improvements we could make. They were honest in their opinions and did not over/under sell any home and gave us the facts as it is. We learnt a lot in the process. We also understood our budget and limitations better and what we wanted. When we finally settled on a home, she helped us immensely by connecting us with meaningful resources - banks, plumbers, electricians, foundation folks, all of whom were top notch. We got a great deal from a bank they recommended as well. She has a knack for finding quality homes, and knowing what the price is that they would sell at and making a good offer. Overall, we loved working with her and Peter and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home in the area :) read more

Buying a home in the Bay Area can be crazy, and having been both a buyer and a seller in the past, we knew how important it was to find the right agent. We read reviews, asked for recommendations, and basically interviewed many of the top agents in the area. Everyone seemed nice and "good enough" until we connected with Julie. She, by far, stood out from the pack, and our gut instinct was right. We are SO happy we went with Julie, and thanks to her help and guidance, we're now living in our dream home in our dream neighborhood. From our experience, here's why you should go with Julie. KNOWLEDGE OF THE PENINSULA: Julie and her husband Peter are both bay area natives. They grew up in the peninsula and raised their kids here. As parents ourselves, we found this incredibly helpful. They're knowledgeable about the difference nuances of the peninsula neighborhoods and school districts as well. While we had a target neighborhood in mind, we liked that they were well versed in many of the peninsula neighborhoods. SUPER SMART + STRAIGHT SHOOTER: I knew Julie was "the one" from our first conversation. What made her stand out from other agents is that she seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of local real estate. As we had been casually looking for a home for a while, if we'd mention a property that we liked in the past, she almost immediately knew the address. Her memory is truly amazing! We also appreciated that Julie notices both pros/cons about potential homes. She would actively point out considerations that we hadn't noticed. For example, oak trees are protected, meaning yearly maintenance costs would be $X. Or home with a certain type of backyard means prone to flooding. She definitely helps you make a more informed decision. GOOD COMMUNICATOR: And fast! We liked that Julie was always on top of everything. WE never had to follow up or wait around for responses. DATA DRIVEN + STRATEGIC: Julie and Peter (who comes from a Sales background!) were great at looking at the data of recent sales, but they were also good at interpreting the nuances of the data. For us, that meant digging into recent sales on our street, within our sub-neighborhood, and within our price range within our sub-neighborhood. We came in with a strong offer, and Julie worked with our lender on an aggressive timeline to make sure our offer was appealing against all cash offers. STRONG NETWORK/RELATIONSHIPS: Julie has a rolodex of vendors that she partners with, and after buying our home, we've used many of her recommended vendors, who have been great. Need a handyman? She knows someone amazing! Have termites? She knows someone! She also has great relationships with many real estate agents in the area, including the listing agent on our home. She was able to stay in close contact with the listing agent throughout the process, and we think that helped us win the home. Overall, we feel very lucky that we went with Julie! Dream home, dream agent! : read more

Julie is an excellent agent. She sold our house above asking and was a true pleasure to work with. She is strategic in her pricing, timing, and negotiation recommendations. Julie also has great vendors to make your house shine for a sale. She is positive, responsive and organized. The sale of our home was zero stress and we attribute it to Julie. Highly recommend! read more

Julie went above and beyond for our family'! I can't recommend her enough! She is kind, energetic, patient all while confidently leading the process of selling our family home. She listened to our desires but also gave great advice and insight. We had multiple family members involved in selling the home and Julie always took time to conference call with us when we needed to talk through our questions. Julie has so many connections. She has a team that was able to transform our family home into a beautiful remodel. She made the whole process feel less stressful then I have experienced before. She hosted incredible open houses and really marketed the house well in the community. Julie is who you want to help you buy or sell a home! read more

If I could give Julie more than 5 stars, I would!! She is an amazing realtor and amazing human!! Julie helped our family; went above and beyond, through the process of selling our family's home. The entire process was seamless, she answered all our questions with clarity, she made sure to take extra care in paths taken throughout the process, and was incredible in ensuring we did all we could to do justice in selling our family's home. Her knowledge in the industry, knows no bounds and partners with amazing teams to get the jobs done beautifully. The transformation remodel of the home was magical! If you are buying or selling a home, you ABSOLUTELY want to have Julie on your team! read more

We've bought and sold with various realtors through the years. The team of Julie Baumann and Taylor Kobayashi is head and shoulders beyond anybody with whom we've worked due to their expertise, empathy, responsiveness, conscientiousness, and willingness to go above and beyond in so many different ways. Julie and Taylor helped us buy our dream home in San Mateo County, and they consistently provided high-quality insights, timely updates, and thorough consultations. I'm not actually sure when they sleep or perhaps they've figured out clone themselves because, despite having a full plate of clients and homes to sell, they were always punctual and thorough in their research and communications both with the selling agents and with us. Even after we settled into our new home, Julie and Taylor have been incredibly helpful as we fixed up some minor issues. They could have easily moved on since their job was done, but, again, they are the definition of going above and beyond. They are committed to making sure that your home is truly the right match and to guiding you through all the ups and downs of home buying and home ownership. We certainly struck gold in meeting Julie and Taylor! read more

We bought our Emerald Hills house through through Julie 7 years ago and recently sold it through her. We are moving interstate, otherwise Julie would be helping us with our next house! We couldn't say enough good things about Julie. She is the only reason we got the house we wanted 7 years ago. She had the right strategy to get the house for what we wanted. She helped pick out all the positive and negative things about the house so we were making as much of an informed decision as possible. We kept in touch over the years and recommend her to anyone we could. Our good friends bought a house with her and were equally happy. Sadly, due to work, we needed to move out of the Bay Area. Julie planned the renovations we needed to get the house in its best shape, helped meet and arrange contractors (as we were living away), arranged staging etc. There are so many little things she did through the whole process and she did everything she could to keep the process minimally stressful. It's a truly heartfelt thank you to Julie. If you're reading this, I hope you choose Julie too. read more

Crème de la crème! I had the absolute pleasure of partnering with Julie Baumann, and the experience was beyond exceptional. When they say top 1%, let's reclarify that as the top 0.01% for Julie. Julie is a consummate professional with in-depth knowledge across a variety of buzzing neighborhoods/cities in the Bay Area. What truly impressed me was her superb communication, commitment to our needs, and most importantly, always going to bat - no matter the time of day and often, night. As a first-time seller, Julie went above and beyond to ensure that we were educated, informed, and looped in on every step of the way. I recall a specific moment where she stated a rough month+ timeline for the housework, putting it on the market, and sale. Not knowing her superpowers, I naively thought her timeline (and goals) were unrealistic. Well, sure enough, not only did we sell after a little over a week on the market, but at a price point we didn't imagine possible. This is all down to Julie - from her connections, her phenomenal interior design background, and her ability to produce results. I'd be remiss not to mention her ability to be a coach, mentor, and sometimes, therapist! To this day (5 months later) I still find myself reaching out to her for tips & tricks, support, etc. Never has there been a moment where she hasn't made the time and as always, with her client's best interest in mind. Before I run out of characters, I'll end it here with a simple recommendation. Buying, selling, or exploring? Julie is your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd option. 11/10 and I hope to work more closely with her soon again! read more

Our home at W 25th, San Mateo, flew off the market in just 5 days with multiple offers above asking--all thanks to the real estate wizardry of Julie Baumann! Dive into a sales process that will amaze and delight you by choosing Julie as your agent. We read many of the other reviews and found ourselves nodding along; yep, yep, and yep as that was our experience as well. She is truly one of a kind. If possible, we too would give her more than 5 stars, placing her in a category all her own, which is where she truly belongs. We found Julie not to be just a real estate agent; she's a maestro of market savvy, with professionalism and precision that will make your property the star of the show, all while drawing in a crowd of eager buyers. Julie's blend of people skills and timing is like a well-conducted orchestra, ensuring everything flows harmoniously. But wait, there's more! Got questions? She's got answers. Hurdles in the process? She leaps over them with grace. Need a contact, she'll make the introduction. With Julie, you're not just choosing an agent; you're choosing a champion who is solidly in your corner. Why settle for good when you can have the best? Opting for Julie Baumann might just be the smartest move you'll make in your real estate journey. If you're in the market, and Julie's not your first call, you're missing out. Her knack for drawing out the best in your home while bringing in the right buyers is remarkable to behold. Join us in the Julie Baumann fan club--you won't regret it! Royal and Amy Robinson read more

Julie made me feel like her only, most-valued client. I was selling my first home all by myself, and I could not have been in better hands. When I needed papers from my HOA, she took care of it. When I needed contractors for staging, paint, and lighting, she took care of it. Magically, all the annoying things that needed tending to would quietly get done. Anticipating that the delivery of staging furniture might put out my neighbors, she gave them notice and goodies. She even dropped off the books that I had left in my house but meant to donate. She has a knack for getting things done expeditiously, but at your convenience, and inserting her expertise where needed, while making a client feel in control of what matters to them. She is transparent, while taking care of the minutiae that overwhelms. I felt like her seeming tirelessness was always on my behalf. read more

When I was interviewing realtors to sell our family's home, I picked Julie, and I am so thankful that I did. Even other realtors raved about her when I told them who I had chosen. From the beginning, Julie had a plan, choosing exactly what was needed to improve the house and keeping everything within budget. She picked up almost every call and returned emails and text messages within minutes. Throughout the entire process, her guidance was thoughtful and flawless. She created momentum and buzz to bring-in eager buyers. And, to boot, she masterfully solicited an impressive offer to buy the house. Words cannot articulate my amazement and gratitude for Julie's work. In short, I recommend her with enthusiasm and without hesitation. read more

Julie was the perfect choice when we needed to sell our parents home. It was very emotional to put our family home of 50 years on the market so Julie's kindness helped during this time. She was thoughtful and strategic during the whole sales process. We were thrilled when she was able to get us an offer at over-asking and we were delighted to find out a family would be moving in. Julie is such a professional with a personal touch. I am so impressed with her! We had a stellar experience and Julie far exceeded our expectations. read more

BEST REALTOR EVER!!! Five stars is not nearly enough to rate Julie Baumann - she is way beyond exceptional! We had a family house to sell that was in an estate. After interviewing 4 realtors, the choice was clear to go with Julie. She has incredible knowledge paired with positivity and energy bar none! Add to that she is a person that went above and beyond to expedite getting an estate sale done within a few days to clear out the house, and contractors, landscapers, stagers, etc who she has a long term working relationship with who got the work done faster than we could imagine. Every person working on the house to get it in shape to sell just raved about Julie, and all were willing to go the extra mile because of how much they love working with her! She would send almost daily updates to keep us in the loop as we lived too far away to visit, and always gave over 100% in everything, including incredible attention to details. Julie expertly guided us through every step of the process and worked well within our budget to not only get the house in beautiful condition, but then has a great team to come up with writing up the features of the house to list it in the best light possible. We were astounded! Julie goes above and beyond for her sellers by providing gorgeous booklets about the house, drone photos and videos, several beautifully attractive and fun open houses and more! Our home was listed, shown and sold within a week with multiple offers. Julie assured us when we were uncertain and gave us guidance in such a way to actually make the whole process fun! Truly when the sale was complete our family was in mourning as we were missing our daily interactions with this amazing woman! We knew she was working always for our best, in the midst of making it a seamless process! Even months later we have called on Julie to advise us on other issues that have come up for a family member buying a house in Southern California. She is quick to respond and help out in any way possible. We came through the house selling process with Julie, with the honor of feeling like we gained a new friend! We cannot recommend Julie highly enough! Again, she is the absolute best!!! read more

After interviewing several agents, Julie and Taylor Kobayashi were clear winners. From day one, they were prepared, organized, knowledgeable and confident they could help us get top dollar for our house. And they didn't disappoint. They brought in their team to prep our house (the best stager, landscape architect, etc. all at a reasonable price) and advised us on what upgrades to make to get our house ready for market. They were able to accommodate our fast timeline and started pre-selling before we went live. Now here is where they really stand out- they have phenomenal relationships throughout the area. So their ability to get things done and attract the right buyer is second to none. One day before we went live on MLS, due to their pre-selling efforts, we got an offer 20% above ask. WOW. These ladies are professionals and superstars at what they do. Oh, and they love to shower you with gifts along the way. Get ready for some home baked cookies! If you're looking to sell in the peninsula, look no further than Julie and Taylor. read more

Julie sold our townhome in San Carlos in November. She truly went the extra mile (more like 1,000 miles!) to get the property ready to sell, and to market it to potential buyers. Since we were not in the area, Julie took charge of getting all of the suppliers and contractors needed and she managed the entire process of making the 30+ year old unit sparkle. Julie is a great communicator and she kept us informed every step of the way. She was sensitive to our situation and gracious in all of our dealings with her. I am very happy to recommend Julie if you need a realtor who will "do it all" and get the job done as quickly and painlessly as possible! read more

Where do I start?! I've bought and sold 12 homes in my lifetime and have been fortunate to have good/great agents each time. However, Julie Baumann is in a class of her own. I cannot overstate how exceptional she is. We sold our Bay Area home with Julie while living in another state. As you can imagine, not being nearby could have come with significant stress and frustration, but because of Julie's expertise it was seamless and worry-free. I've never been in such capable hands. Julie's responsiveness is also unparalleled. She keeps her commitments and makes you feel like you are the only client she has. We were referred to Julie by a friend who'd sold several homes through her, and he assured us that she was the best. We grew to trust her experience and advice implicitly because she KNOWS her market and her buyers. Having said that, she also listens to her sellers to understand their priorities and provides recommendations that fit within those parameters. Julie provides such a personal touch and a level of polish that is impressive. Examples of this were: She delivered fliers and customized treats with OUR street name to over 20 of the surrounding neighbors. When I had a last minute request to change light fixtures, she had the resources to make it happen within a day. Her connections are PRICELESS. Our home was very dated and needed improvements to become market-ready. Julie was creative in recommending investments that would get us the most bang for our buck. The Compass loan option is incredible. No up front out of pocket costs to put your home in the best condition you can afford. Absolutely fantastic service! In the end, Julie's guidance was SPOT-ON and yielded us multiple record breaking offers within hours of listing. If you opt to work with Julie, TRUST HER. She has this reputation of excellence for a reason. I will recommend her again and again. I think she has raised the bar so high that I'll never find an agent of this caliber where I live now (ha!). In summary, Julie is beyond comparison. Everyone should be so lucky to work with her. read more

Julie sold our townhouse in just a few weeks in a difficult market. And we got more than our asking price! But most of all, Julie made the process easy. She identified the repair and touch-up work that needed to be done to get the house ready for sale, and even scheduled all the contractors! This was a big plus for us, as we don't live in the area. I highly recommend Julie. read more

Selling and buying a home can be incredibly frustrating, scary and seemingly impossible. But that's not the experience we found working with the one and only Julie Baumann. How incredibly lucky we were to be referred to her by our friend because as soon as we met with Julie we understood that she knew what she was doing and that we were in very capable hands. Julie's experience offered clients like us - who were looking to sell and buy in a short time period - sage advice, guidance and the right amount of direct/straightforward feedback we needed every step of the way. I had a feeling that working with Julie would not be purely transactional. She truly cared about my family and our happiness and I felt that every step of the way. Julie is also incredibly connected and knowledgeable about the real estate industry, which was invaluable as we worked our way through the Bay Area real estate options...she always knew the other seller's agent and had connections that we were so thankful for. I truly believe we would not have been able to sell as quickly and as seamlessly as we did and secure our dream home we now have without her. Can't recommend her enough. read more

All we can say is that Julie is a "one of a kind" realtor. Sincere, honest & so very thorough in all aspects of the preparation, even down to the tiniest details. We just love her so much!! She listened to our concerns and made sure they were addressed accordingly. She arranged the minor improvements with her connections and they all worked around our schedule. She went door to door to introduce herself to our neighbors and left invitations to a neighborhood Open House, what a treat that was. Our home was on the market within 2 weeks and it sold in 24 hours. read more

Julie is my go-to gal for all my real estate needs. She is a perfectionist in all the right ways! She's honest, supportive, knowledgable, and dedicated. If you want to work with someone who you can trust to represent you well, then you would be very fortunate to have Julie by your side. Thank you for everything, Julie! read more

Julie just recently completed a house sale for my parents, and I can't say enough about what a terrific job she did. The house was just about to ready for the MLS, when we all went into shelter-in-place. Despite this, Julie was able work with contractors to make some improvements, and then find 2 potential buyers within the Compass group. She helped us negotiate the bids, and then navigated us through a complicated process of selling a house amidst a pandemic. She was thorough, patient, thoughtful and very determined to get a great deal for my parents. We are so grateful that we found her! read more

Julie Baumann expertly handled all the aspects of selling our property in a family trust. Her confidence and congeniality makes her a pleasure to work with. Julie managed all the steps in preparing the home, removing all remaining contents, prepping the interior, landscaping and outside, taking care of our every concern, which were many. She was in constant communication offering sage advice. She got multiple offers way above asking price and closed the sale just a week after putting on the market! Julie is a treasure. read more

Julie and Taylor were energetic, dependable, and warm and considerate in the process of selling our house. They got the property fixed up and prepped for sale very quickly, despite the labor shortage we hear about all around. They handled everything big and small, while keeping us informed, respected our preferences, and addressed our worries. As we were selling with some market uncertainty amid interest rate increases, Julie and Taylor's positivity and responsiveness made the whole process much less stressful. It was a joy to work with them and their team. read more

Julie radiates the authentic knowledge of the peninsula market she has passionately lived and worked hard to achieve. Our listing and record-setting Hillsborough sale reflected that. I highly recommend Julie as one of the best (and certainly as an agent most open to optimistic ideas, options and opportunities!) Julie and her recommended teammates will work hard for your home.. and it will look effortless. ;) read more

I have known Julie since June 2016. At the time, I was just visiting the US for a couple of weeks, thinking about which area to stay permanently. For almost a year until our final move in 2017, Julie had been advising me on various aspects of housing, renting, schools, etc. She has been the most wonderful and helpful person I have met in the US. Thank you so much!! We will definitely contact you for more pieces of advice and help with real estate and other decisions!! We would like to wish you all the best!! Keep in touch! read more

Julie was referred to us by one of my coworkers. We were so lucky to have found her. She patiently worked with us for 7-8 months to help us find our perfect home. We had pretty specific criteria and it felt as though she always had our best interest in mind. She was so responsive and moved things along at lightening speed to make sure we didn't miss out on an opportunity! She was knowledgable and helped us understand what we needed as well. We are so happy in our new home and we have Julie to thank for that! read more

Julie as an amazing relator and human being! She is patient and really listens to your needs. Julie helped us and other family members find homes at the price we were comfortable with, she never pressured us, instead worked with us so that we all were happy. She is very knowledgeable about the area, connected to the community and has access and relationships that will help you once you move in to your new home with renovations or designers, babysitters!! She is a positive , professional, warm person who is at the top of her game and who we really enjoyed working with:) Thank you Julie!! read more

What can I say about Julie other than that she is absolutely amazing! And professional, creative, and dedicated.. The list is long. She assisted me in selling my San Mateo condo and with her amazing network of contacts, helped me to sell it at my dream asking price without even an open house! But that doesn't mean she didn't do all the prep work for the open house because she had a potential buyer. She worked very single angle - and I think that's what makes her special. By nature, I am skeptical. I don't trust new people, especially not realtors out to make a buck. But Julie is so different and it becomes evident the moment you meet her. I honestly will never use another realtor so I hope she stays in the business for a long long time. Thanks so much Julie!!! You are the best at what you do! read more

Julie recently helped us buy our dream home and simultaneously sell our beloved family home - and everything was wrapped up and in contract in one week! I cannot overstate Julie's expertise, professionalism and tireless positivity. It takes a special combination of features to navigate our unique market, and Julie always kept our interests as her top priority. I commend her ability to manage our expectations, and she worked hard to get the best possible outcome for us. I couldn't recommend her more, and I will refer her any chance I get! read more

Julie is the consummate realtor in so many ways: aesthetically inclined, strong negotiator, solid understanding of the market. She is one of those realtors who invests time in getting to know you and your family so she can understand your individual needs and helps you find the right house. Then when you find "the one," Julie steps in a negotiates hard. I love that she is candid and never afraid to tell you if a house is not right for you or a bad deal. But she is never pushy or salesy with her clients. She is highly professional and has an impeccable reputation among other realtors. We are so thankful we met her by accident at an open house -- working with her was on of the best decisions we've ever made, and I'm certain we wouldn't have landed our dream house if it weren't for her! Thanks a million Julie! read more

Julie Baumann was our realtor for our recent house purchase. She was absolutely incredible!! We were able to buy our absolute dream house within a week of meeting her! She was so hardworking and incredibly kind. With her hard work and guidance we were able to get our dream home for the advertised price, which is pretty unheard of in this current market, and no doubt only possible because of her. She is quick and organized, and any queries we had were almost immediately responded to and sorted. Also her kindness and professionalism made the post home offer acceptance period really easy. Our loan providers and title company both made a point of saying how great she was to deal with. I can't really say enough positive things about Julie. She has made what we thought not possible, our reality. She's a dream come true! You could not go wrong with having Julie as your realtor! read more

If possible I want to give another five more stars to Julie. She is amazing and beyond amazing, both as a realtor and a person! She has been our blessings since the day we were referred to Julie and her partner Sheryl by our friend, also a top agent in the area five months ago. With Julie's help, we found our perfect new home in Burlingame which was beyond our expectation but still within our limited budget just in 3 months. We did not only get a place that we can call home but also we start a wonderful friendship with her. Just LOVE her! The unbelievable thing that just happened is that Julie got a perfect house for my husband's colleague only in one month after our referral. She is awesome! Julie gained our trust from the very first meeting with her with her professionalism. She was punctual, well-prepared, efficient, polite, fun and passionate! She has always been. She is a pro! As an agent, she has impressive amount of knowledge about the area, from streets, neighborhood, schools, shops, to actual people. We had little kids and usually had to drive from South Bay up to Peninsula area to attend some the open house. With Julie, we did not need to waste a lot of time to try to figure out if the house was where we wanted it be. Just ask if it worth to visit. She made our house hunting very efficient! Speaking a top agent, Julie has the best quality to be the one. Like many good agent, she is no doubt a very good listener. But one of most amazing characters of her is that after tentatively listening to us she was always able to precisely read what we really need and what would work for us the best. Due to this super tough market, we had gotten some very frustrated moments like when we found almost every house that within our budget had something really hard for us to tolerate. We had moments feeling quite defeated and even desperate like when we found there were too many offers above what we could afford. Becoming sort of emotional was not unusual during the tough house hunting process, but it would definitely got in the way when we needed to make the decision. It was Julie who had always been promptly answering my phone calls, patiently listening to me and calming analysis of the situation, encouraging me with all her insightful thoughts, super comforting words, and great sense of humor! A few minutes chat with her, stress or tears would turn into patience and hope. I was so thankful to her for she had always been able to successfully reassure us that with patine we will eventually get a house we want and we truly deserve. Because of her awesome personality, she has a really nice network and abundant resources in her business, from agent colleagues to whoever related to a house. With her partner Sheryl, they work like a dream team! She was able to assure us that we have been in very good hands, always! Even recently, I would still ask her advice or resources no matter house- related to kids related occasionally. She is my dear friend now! Julie is also a very sweet human being. It was such a pleasant to work with her! No matter if we brought the kids with us or not to our meetings, she always thought about my kids, chatting with my girls, bringing home-made cookies, super adorable cupcakes for the girls. Her thoughtfulness has minimized our guilty for our little ones during our exhausting house hunting progress. My girls remembered this very sweet Aunt Julie who found the perfect home for us all. With Julie and her partner Sheryl, we got the only house that we truly loves throughout months of house hunting with just one attempted offer. We was blessed to have you! We were blessed to get this house as our new home! Julie, Thank you! Always welcome to stop by! I hope you will get a chance to try the cookies made by the girls in our new kitchen some day soon! Wish the best to you and all of your clients, old or new! read more

We were first introduced to Julie through our agent and family friend of many years, who has since moved out of the area. Wow, did we get lucky! We can't thank Julie enough for helping us sell our home in this current shaky market. Her strong negotiating skills and expertise landed us a strong and quick offer while similar homes had been sitting on the market. She was in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. We never had to sit and wonder how things were coming along. Sadly, we are leaving the area, but she would definitely be our go to in this market. We highly recommend Julie to anyone looking to buy or sell. We are eternally grateful. read more

Julie is amazing!!! We recently had the pleasure of working with her to buy our first Bay Area home. She is extremely knowledgeable and a great resource in every step of the process. She gave us Great advice about the areas that we were looking in and what made the most sense for family with young child. She was also very helpful in reviewing disclosure reports and giving us insights on time and cost to make a lot of the suggested repairs. She even went above and beyond to provide us with contacts and suggestions to perform those repairs. We can't thank Julie enough for helping us find our dream home. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the area, the process and very well integrated into the community, but she is an awesome negotiator and got us a phenomenal deal. read more

Julie is one of my favorite people. It's a bonus she's a rock star at real estate.  I've known Julie for several years and she's really one of the most caring and thoughtful people I know.  I was more than ready to call her when we were ready to sell our San Carlos home.  From our initial conversation to closing we were in great hands with Julie.  Julie has a wealth of top notch professionals ready to go for home prep.  She listened to my questions and alleviated any concerns I had.  She knows the market inside and out and is realistic about what needs to be done to garner the best price. Julie is very well respected in the agent community which is a big asset in this market.  When it came to negotiations the "velvet hammer" came out and she was able to garner a record breaking sale price for our home with generous rent back terms.  All along the way Julie kept us informed of all developments.  Julie is a great mix of warmth and professionalism that made selling our home with her a pleasure. read more
