Working with Julie Brown was the best experience I have ever had in buying and selling homes over a span of twenty years. In the worst possible housing market in recent times, Julie presented a plan to me that significantly exceeded not only my sales expectation, my house sold in record time(one day!), and was sold at a price higher than anyone had predicted. Julie stayed on top of every issue to make certain that every matter was handled promptly, profesionally and satifactorily. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being outstanding, Julie is an eleven. Cleve M.

Julie, I can't say "Thank You" enough for all that you have done for me this year. In a time of stressful transition, you came through with the perfect rental home, in the right location, at the right price and you made it happen in less than 5 days! When it was time to sell the house you were the one who had the vision for just the right changes that needed to be made to the house to get the right price. And, to our amazement, the house sold in 2 days and closed escrow in less than 60 days. You are professional, efficient and encouraging--with a "can do" attitude that is always delivered with a smile. Wishing you continued success and happiness in all that you do. Kandy Reid
