Now she is happy to have made Madison her home. Julie grew up in the real estate world in the Chicago area with parents who owned a local brokerage and several investment properties. She experienced firsthand the importance of location in a home purchase and how home improvements can increase the value of a property. She even attended real estate conventions with her father as a teenager. Given her formal education in teaching and social work, combined with her life-long immersion in the real estate world, Julie brings a variety of experiences to her clients.
She understands that all buyers and sellers need education on the local real estate market and spends the time necessary to teach her clients the process and update them on the current marketplace. Another important step in the process is to align the client goals with the best real estate strategy. Since buying and selling real estate is a complex transaction, Julie understands that using a variety of strategies will help her clients save time and money, while enduring the least amount of stress during the process.
Her teaching, social work and real estate background all keep Julie sensitive to the processes and issues involved with every aspect of selling and purchasing real estate. Julie began working on a real estate team in a large real estate franchise company where she represented clients buying and selling large farms, vacant lots, new construction, downtown condos and all types of real estate throughout Columbia, Jefferson, Rock and Dane County.
From there, Julie decided to focus her skills and moved to be part of a boutique real estate firm where she was able to specialize in smaller communities within Madison and the surrounding areas. After all of this varied experience, Julie is now the Broker and Owner of Lifestyle Realty, where she focuses on full service real estate services for her clients.
She employs a variety of successful strategies to ensure that sellers net the highest possible amount within their ideal timeline, while also helping buyers find their new home in the community. This has led to long-term personal relationships with her clients.
