I had the good fortune to have my buyers represented by Julia. As I settle into my new home my respect and admiration for her has only grown. She repeatedly proved herself to be honest, kind, straight-forward and most professionally discreet throughout a prolonged and difficult negotiation. One of the difficulties was the conduct of my agent, but I did not find that out until well after escrow closed. When she first came to see my condominium, we had the chance to chat briefly. I asked her for her card simply because her manner was, well, unlike most agents I had met and would meet. My sense of her unique abilities would be proven to be very solid.
I should say here that she was representing a couple who lived on the east coast, who, because of the pandemic, would never be able to set foot in the place that they would actually buy. (They have finally been able to visit it and love the place and the building—a pleasure for me to hear and what must have been a relief to Julia.)
And here is where she was simply peerless in her patience, persistence and single-minded determination to represent her client’s interests. She learned everything she could about the unique property, the HOA, the features and the quirks.
She deftly managed to close the deal and work through my excruciatingly difficult pandemic-infused move after a 30-day rent-back. She was always kind and patient to me (despite my causing a few considerable frustrations), but what so struck me about her was her diligence and focus on their behalf.
I cannot say enough about that. Nor can I say that about the entirety of my experience with my agent, which spanned many challenging months before Julia appeared. I have since recommended her to two people who are contemplating listing their homes. I rarely do that or write about it to strangers—I am just absolutely confident that you should meet her, if not list with her.
