Hiring Julie was the best decision! Not only is she extremely knowledgable about the market and neighborhoods, but she is honest and sincerely wants what is best for her clients. She was not afraid to candidly tell us her thoughts as we navigated our way through both finding and selling a home (which she did both of for us!) We always felt like we were in great hands with her and the entire team. We could not be happier with both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home.
I worked with Julie and represented the Buyers the sale of a beautiful home in Danville, Ca. As far as Agent to Agent goes she was phenomenal to work with. She represented the Seller’s and from start to finish she was top notch in absolutely every detail of the transaction. My Buyer’s are so thrilled and the whole experience was pleasurable. In this business you really appreciate a smooth transaction and the professionalism and kindness of other agents like Julie really stand out.
We were looking for a realtor to help us sell our house, and met Julie as a reference through our daughter, who was already working with Julie to buy a house. Julie saw our house and gave us guidance on what we should do to get top dollar. She also had contacts for much of the work we had done to increase the value. We did it all, and did got top dollar. Along the way, the whole process was professional, organized, and on schedule. We are very happy and lucky to have found Julie, and would recommend her and her team 100%!
Julie is the consummate professional. She is personable and has extensive knowledge of the market place as well as a thorough understanding of legal and financial issues in buying or selling a home. She and her team are very responsive and will guide you every step of the transaction. We would strongly recommend Julie as a top real estate broker.
Julie helped my wife and I find the perfect home in record time. The Bay Area market is so difficult and we knew nothing as first-time home buyers. Julie spent extra time ensuring we understood the process, had a clear set of criteria for our home and how we could form a winning offer. She lined up many viewings for us and knew the neighborhoods extremely well. We highly recommend her!
We recently closed on our dream home in Danville, CA. Before entering this market as prospective buyers we set our expectations very low because the market is absolutely on fire right now. When we first met Julie she sat us down and gave us a transparent report on market conditions and helped us devise a plan on how our offers could be most competitive and how we can achieve our goals in spite of the market challenges. From the planning phase through the offering phase Julie was highly engaged, responsive and patient. She is a pro with technology and picks up on the smallest of details that we even missed when reviewing disclosure packets and walking properties. Buying a home is stressful and Julie was a calm steady hand that guided us through the ups and downs. One of Julie’s main assets is her deep market knowledge and long standing relationships with other agents. When you work with Julie you are getting a professional that has seen and experienced all the cycles our market has gone through over the past decades - this knowledge inspires so much confidence when she is representing you. Aside from her professionalism, Julie is a very kind and upbeat person and a joy to be around. Plus, we never felt rushed when we asked the hundreds of dummy questions that first-time homebuyers ask (I’m sure we asked more questions than any of her prior clients!). Julie raised a family of her own in this area so she is highly knowledgeable about schools, activities and neighborhoods that are great for families...which was so important for us with 6 year old twins. With Julie’s help we successfully closed on a home we never thought was in our strike zone and we cannot wait to take the keys and start our next chapter. We are so grateful - thanks, Julie!
Moving to a new city during the middle of a pandemic is no easy feat, but when youre working with somebody as lovely as Julie the process becomes exciting all over again. Were so glad to have had Julie as our agent, her professionalism and high level of expertise in all areas of the transaction from start to finish is truly beyond impressive! Julie was incredibly thoughtful in her approach-making sure we ended up buying the perfect home for our family. We took our time exploring many neighborhoods, styles of home and sense of each community before deciding what was right for us. Julie supported us every single step of the way, and you will be so grateful for her unbelievable level of thoroughness and deep commitment to follow up. Its undeniable that she has years and years of experience in all things real estate, knows the area, the market, and is very well networked in with agents, contractors, you name it! We cannot recommend Julie enough, please reach out to her you will not regret it!
My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Julie and her whole team! This was the first time that we went through the home-buying process and Julies guidance every step of the way was INVALUABLE! Her knowledge of the market, the neighborhoods, home design/construction made us feel so prepared and confident in this unfamiliar process. Going through this during COVID could have made this even more stressful, but Julie helped us in our expectations and how to handle and approach the competitive market so that we could get our dream home! The whole Julie Whitmer team has been so wonderful to work with from our very first call with Julie all the way to closing logistics with Tammy and Laurel. Were so grateful that Julie came recommended to us and we will continue to recommend her to all our friends and family!
Julie Whitmer is the best!! Ive sold two Bay Area homes with Julie now, and cannot recommend her highly enough. Both houses sold for over-asking with multiple bids. Her expertise obviously comes from her years of experience, knowledge, and many connections within the community. With Julie you will get exceptional service and access to her personally for all the big and little questions that come up while you get a house ready for market. Julie has been able to connect me with the right professionals to get the deed of the house ready for title, as well as reasonably priced contractors, vendors and labor to get the place looking great. Julie simply gets things done and does them well. Thanks Julie!!
Julie Whitmer is the absolute best realtor in the East Bay! She sold our current home and due to Julies expertise and contacts in the area, we made just the right improvements to get it show ready without spending too much from our budget. She helped us price it just right, get the staging we needed, and hired an incredible photographer to make it all look perfect! Our house sold for over asking price within a few days and we owe it all to Julie! She also helped us purchase our new house which is our dream forever home! She kept us calm as we walked through house after house, none of which were quite what we wanted. When we walked through what is now our home, we knew we had to have it! Julie helped us be strategic and had our offer ready to go within hours of us confirming we wanted to place a bid. Plus, Julie has such a phenomenal reputation and basically knows every active realtor in the area so she of course knew the listing agent and was able to express just how much we loved the home and how motivated we were to make it a fast and seamless escrow process. The buyers ended up picking us and Julie worked all hours of the day to make sure our escrow closed on time, which it did in 21 days! Julie will make you feel like you are her only and most important client even though she is probably one of the busiest and most sought after realtors in the entire area. We know we never would have been as successful selling our home or purchasing our new home without her. Thank you a million Julie!!
Julie helped me find my new condo, get an offer in fast and at the right price to close the deal!
Julie was absolutely instrumental in helping my wife and I land our dream home. With all of the challenges we faced looking for a home during COVID, and the ensuing market hardening, she helped guide us through the process and was truly a pleasure to work with!! We will miss seeing her every weekend!!
We contacted Julie Whitmer in late August 2020 to discuss putting our home on the market in January or February. We needed guidance in how best to prepare our house. In that initial meeting, Julie explained the current market conditions and recommended we consider preparing our home for market as soon as possible. The market was heating up, mortgage financing was optimal and there was a very low housing inventory. We were hesitate based on the short time frame to get the house market ready. But we agreed based on her assurance that we could get this done together.To get the house in top condition, Julie recommended we do several things but with the principle of spending money to get the most favorable return. She did a total property evaluation and made recommendations to maximize buyer appeal. For example, we repainted the house inside and out, updated light fixtures inside and out, and many other things to update our home. We had a large beautiful lot, but it needed work. She reimagined the backyard within minutes of first seeing it and her vision, when executed, substantially improved its appeal. To get all this work done Julie has a cadre of reasonably priced contractors with whom she has worked with for years. They were all very experienced and provided us with quality service. From painters to plumbers to landscapers to electricians to tree trimmers to furniture movers, when all was done, we believe we maximized our spending.From a marketing perspective, our house hit the market with lots of excitement brewing and offers forming. Once the house went live, there were so many showings over just two days and multiple offers. Wow, what a whirlwind! Julie handled the long days, many behind the scenes activities, just everything so professionally. She negotiated an amazing contract that was above our initial expectations and the highest sale reported in our community.Working with Julie was a wonderful experience. She was always available, upbeat, ready to help problem solve, patient and so professional. She coordinated many of the contractors including the staging of the house… which was simply amazing!With no hesitations, we would recommend Julie to our friends and family. Julie, thank you for sharing your expertise, challenging us, and guiding us to an amazing result! You are the best!!!
Extremely knowledgeable of the east bay market and all its intricacies. Additionally, her team is very responsible and agile with their efforts. These two skills were the sole reason we were able to purchase our home while competing with multiple other offers and doing so at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
Julie is a highly competent agent. She is very professional, uses facts and data as well as good judgment to price your home for sale. She is highly networked in the industry and can help with virtually all aspects of buying or selling a home. She operates at speed and with high integrity.
Julie Whitmer is a superlative realtor.She has great vision and helped us navigate the changes that we needed to do to make our property relevant for 2020 buyers.She has a very talented team and her referrals for executing the appropriate changes were excellent.Julie is intelligent and very experienced, but she is also pleasant, responsive, and communicates well.I have recommended her to other potential buyers and sellers without hesitation.
Working with Julie was the best decision we made when buying our home and can truthfully say the deal would not have happened without her.To paint the picture of the value she brings-We were first time home-buyers, never had been pre-approved, never made an offer on a home, and to top it off, found ourselves in a bidding war with 11 other offers!!!Julies knowledge of the Danville/Alamo market was so valuable when making our offer and her persistence communicating with the other stakeholders in the transaction was what got our deal past the finish line. She navigated us through the entire process and was transparent in every step of the way.We SO appreciate everything she did for us and know that she will do the same for any other potential buyers/sellers.A+++++++ all around!!!
Selling a house thats been a home for over forty years requires selecting a special realtor. My wife and i wanted someone that was not only an outstanding professional, but someone that we could relate to as well. Julie was outstanding, she handled all the issues that arose with a calm demeanor and a sense of responsibility that defines professionalism.
Julie is INCREDIBLE! She was the greatest partner, advocate, and friend to us at every turn when our family recently sold our home and bought a new one.Buying and selling a home can be a very emotional and stressful process. It was clear from day one that Julie has a passion for what she does and that she possesses a deep understanding about the local market. From our first meeting, to staging our home to sell, all the way through close of escrow, Julie was completely hands on. We feel confident that our house would not have sold for what it did if it weren’t for Julie’s expert guidance.On the buying side, we had our fair share of hurdles to jump in order to get our contingent offer accepted on a very competitive property. Despite any challenge we were presented with, Julie remained professional, optimistic, and focused on getting us to where we wanted to be.Thanks to the entire Julie Whitmer team for the incredible service! While we don’t wish to move again any time soon, we’d choose to work with Julie and her team again without any hesitation.
Julie Whitmer both sold our home and found us a new home. So whether you need an agent to represent you as a seller or buyer, Julie is who you want. I cannot say enough good things about her. Julie is experienced and the consummate professional. She will guide you through every step of the process and provides you a wealth of knowledge. Julie is very tech savvy and creates an easy, user-friendly, low stress atmosphere. She doesnt waste any time, especially not her clients time. We would never work with anyone else! The entire process was so smooth and she held our hands at each step. On top of all this, she is a fabulous person with wonderful taste, so she can help you see all the potential in a new home.
If you are a prospective home buyer, you can do no better than Julie and her team. Julie was incredibly helpful every step of the way as we dragged her from listing to listing until we finally landed on the right house. It may have taken offering on three houses, before I found the house I now get to call home, and when negotiations were appropriate, Julie handled them tactfully and gave me great advice in how to proceed. I dont know what I would have done without her throughout the home buying process. Your search is offer - Julie is the real estate agent for you!!
From beginning to end of transaction, total professionalism. If I could give 10 stars, I would give it to this lady. Do yourself a favor and dont hesitate to work with her. She is THE BEST!
Recently we had to sell our house and not knowing that how process works, I invited few local real estate agents to talk to us and put our house in market. After talking to 6 local top realtors I get a chance to talk to Julie Whitmer and we just blown away by her research on local housing market, knowledge and passion for getting things done. From staging to getting my house SOLD Julie has been just simply incredible and I first hand experience her ability to handle no matter how tough the negotiation and person is. In Julie not only now I have my life long real estate agent but a good friend too. Julie you are a truly professional and a Pro who knows how to get house SOLD. Wishing you the best.
I 100% recommend Julie to represent you in a real estate transaction. Hands down, Julie is the BEST!!
