Julie Whitmer Team | Danville, CA | Compass - Danville, California

Annette and Doug Robertson

We chose to work with Julie based on her outstanding reputation as a leader in East Bay real estate and we were not disappointed. She arrived at our first meeting fully prepared with a professional, insightful presentation which instilled confidence from the beginning. The challenge that Julie had was to take our listing at a less-than-optimal time of year – Thanksgiving. She immediately got to work and had the professional photography completed and the agent open house scheduled. Most importantly, Julie is extremely well connected, has a great team, and has a comprehensive social media strategy. Our home immediately had a website, was on Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, MLS and her website. Within a couple of days, we had thousands of views and hundreds of saves on Zillow. She executed her defined strategy flawlessly – at what price to list, when to hold agent open house and public open house, facilitating the showings, and when to take offers. A few days later we were looking at 6 highly competitive offers. The house was pending within five days at one of the most challenging listing times of year.

Julie is a true professional. She has a deep reach, a comprehensive strategy and has the great respect of her peers in the real estate community. I’ve always said that I am ‘Easily satisfied with the VERY best”…and that is Julie Whitmer.

Julie and her team made selling my West side Danville home a wonderful experience. Her precise attention to detail regarding every aspect of the transaction was exceptional.

She had a neighborhood ice cream social setup for the first open house that attracted the couple that purchased the home. Her vendors performed timely repairs prior to listing and the home staging set the home apart from other listings.

My out of state relocation involved a lot of moving parts and Julie was there to help. From vetting a Compass agent to help me find the perfect home to the movers who packed my POD for the move.
Utilizing the Compass marketing tools, Julie was able to quickly understand the ever changing market dynamics and adjust.

Thank you Julie! Paul & Gage

Julie is fantastic! We are so grateful for all her guidance, support, knowledge and expertise. From start to finish she was attentive to our needs and was a calming presence throughout. She always made time for us and made us feel as though our transaction was the most important thing she was working on. We definitely benefited from her vast network of professionals. We could not have gone through the process of successfully selling our home without her and her amazing team. We very highly recommend Julie for any real estate needs you might have. Thank you Julie!!!

Moving to a new city during the middle of a pandemic is no easy feat, but when you're working with somebody as lovely as Julie the process becomes exciting all over again. We're 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. It's 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!

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!!

I'm not even sure there are the right words to truly describe the way we feel about Julie - extremely smart and knowledgeable, highly experienced, honest and unbiased, patient, strategic, and highly over communicative - she is one of the most impressive women in business I have personally encountered.

I was referred to Julie by a friend at work and Julie patiently spent over an hour in our first discussion educating us on the house buying process. She put us at ease with the current state of the market and also clearly defined the roles we both would play as we discussed next steps. Throughout our entire engagement, Julie 100% acted in the best interest of our family and helped us better understand what we wanted and needed.

When it came to finalizing our negotiations with the sellers, this is where she really knocked it out of the park. The price at which we felt most comfortable, and the high end of our budget, was a true long shot. She explained that she would do the best she could but braced us that the outcome may not be what we wish. We had no doubt she would get it done, and she did. With some minor final negotiations, we got the house at the price we wanted.

We put our whole trust in her with such a big decision and can't thank Julie and her team enough!"

Julie is very knowledgeable and was very sensitive to our needs and situation. She has many years of experience and is very familiar with the market in Danville. She responded to all our calls, texts, and emails quickly and answered all our questions and concerns. Her experience in marketing really showed, based on the number of people that showed up at the open house and the broker’s tour. She is very efficient. As soon as we had the home ready to sell, all inspections were completed, and the home was staged and photographed right away. It took only 14 days from the date the listing went live on MLS to the closing. We received multiple offers and sold for over asking. Overall, Julie was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home.

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!!!
