Client Testimonial



""Cannot recommend Julie highly enough. She stuck with us for over 2 years as we looked to find the right house for ourselves. She was through, thoughtful, patient, and very savvy about the local market. She is friendly and kind. She was also an excellent negotiator throughout the purchase process. The result was us buying a house that we're very happy with. Thank you, Julie!"

Pawsapalooza 2026

What started three years ago from a shared love for dogs and community has grown into one of the most meaningful events of the year for us.


This year, our favorite neighborhood park, Griffith Park, was filled with so much love, connection, and purpose as people came together to support local rescues, celebrate community, and help dogs find loving homes. We’re so happy to share that several dogs were adopted, and funds raised through our raffle will go directly back to rescue organizations doing incredible work.


As a real estate team, helping people find home is at the heart of what we do every day. And as dog lovers, we know dogs are often what make a home truly feel complete. They become family, bring comfort, joy, and unconditional love, and deserve safe, loving homes in return.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, adopted, and showed up to support something so special to us!

Client Testimonial



""Julie and her team worked hard, and showed incredible dedication and care throughout the process of purchasing our home. From start to finish, they made the process feel effortless, and we’re so grateful for their steady guidance and expertise every step of the way. From open house visits to final punch list negotiations - and everything in between - their professionalism and grace truly shined."

November 2025 Newsletter

November 2025 - Eastside Newsletter

Hello November!

Giving Thanks For Opportunity

As the crisp air settles in and Thanksgiving approaches, November often brings a renewed sense of focus—and that's certainly true in the real estate market! While many folks start cozying up for the holidays, those still in the market are often the most serious and motivated. This can create a fantastic environment for both buyers and sellers.


For sellers, listing in November means your home stands out. The buyers who are looking now are typically those who need to close a deal before the end of the year, making them highly qualified and eager. Don't let the thought of the holidays stop you; your home might just be the best present someone receives this year!


If you're ready to make a move and have something to be thankful for—like a new home or a successful sale—before the year wraps up, this is your month!

Holiday Cookbook

Is Here!


Thank you for being a part of our extended family. May this cookbook be a reminder of the things we have most to be grateful for: Happiness, Health, and Home.

Client Testimonial

"We were so lucky to have found Julie. She immediately understood the type of home we were looking for and worked tirelessly to find it for us. Her enthusiasm and patience throughout the search was amazing. Once she found the home she knew would be perfect for us she was able to get us in for a viewing before anyone else saw it! After our offer was accepted she guided us through the entire closing. We don’t know what we would have done without her. Her experience in the industry and her joyful energy made the complex process calm and efficient. "

October 2025 Newsletter

October 2025 - Eastside LA Newsletter


Hello October!


A Treat (or Trick?) for the Real Estate Market


As the leaves turn and pumpkin spice everything appears, October isn't just about costumes and candy – it's also a fang-tastic time to sink your teeth into the real estate market!


With cooler weather perfect for open houses (and avoiding melting in the summer heat!), and motivated buyers looking to settle before the snow flies, October can be a real estate sweet spot.


Let's treat the October market as your next big opportunity. After all, in real estate, timing is everything, and sometimes, the biggest treats come when you least expect them!


Happy House Hunting (or Selling!) and Happy Halloween!

Please send in your recipes by November 7th so that we have plenty of time to compile them before the holiday season begins, and if you have a photo of your recipe, we'd love to include that as well.

We can't wait to read - and taste-test!

"Julie is incredible! She made what could have easily been a tedious and stressful process super fun. We couldn't have found our home without her knowledge and insight. Could not recommend her highly enough!"
