I worked with Julie to both sell and buy a house in 2007. I knew her as a neighbor but decided to interview other agents as well. Hands down, there was no comparison in her skills, energy and passion for selling homes. After interviewing 5 other agents we went with her.
 
We were in a difficult situation because I have a medically fragile daughter and I am often unavailable as I stay in the hospital with her when she is admitted. Julie made everything so easy!  She faxed or emailed all the paperwork, phone calls were short and sweet, and nothing seemed to get in our way of selling our home! 
 
When it came to buying our new home, again…Julie made everything so easy. She was able to tell me the “downside” to every house I liked without having to actually go to the house. When I finally got my list of favorites, we went out and moved quickly through the list and I found my home in 1 day!   She was great about reminding me not to settle or to “make it work” if it wasn’t right for me.
 
My experience with Julie was so fantastic; I recommended that my brother use her as well. It was another difficult situation, as he was out of state already, rarely available to speak with Julie directly (thank goodness for text messaging), and was using a power of attorney. Once again, it wasn’t anything new to Julie and she had the house sold and closed without a hitch.
 
Julie is energetic, passionate about her work, very knowledgeable in her field and well respected. She was professional and mature when dealing with a very difficult party involved with the home we were purchasing.  I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking to buy or sell, no matter how difficult your situation may seem to you, Julie will make it happen effortlessly.

After my home had been on the market for over 6 months with absolutely no offers, I thankfully found Julie!

 

I had listed the property with two previous realtors, and after very little to no activity, I was told the same thing over and over again – ‘The market is just terrible right now and you’ll probably have to wait it out for at least a few more months.’ I was desperate to sell before my upcoming wedding, and renting it out was not an option due to the restrictions of the HOA.

Julie built a comprehensive online and offline marketing blitz to sell my property, and the results were fantastic. I had an offer and closed on the home in less than eight weeks – over a month before my wedding ‘deadline’ goal.

Julie is honest, savvy, prompt, reliable, and above all: results-oriented. I absolutely recommend Julie without hesitation, and could not be more thrilled with the results of her selling efforts. Do not waste your time with anyone else. Julie is by far the best at what she does, regardless of the market or other obstacles. Personally, I will not work with anyone else the next time I am buying or selling. Thank you, Julie!

I moved to Atlanta in August of 2006. I was referred to Julie by an agent that I know and trust in Dallas.  I have bought four homes and sold three in my life.  I rate Julie as the most knowledgeable, professional and conscientious agent with whom I have worked.  Julie is the only agent I've ever enthusiastically recommended. 

 

In touring houses that I considered purchasing, I found Julie has a remarkable eye for detail.  She is very quick to spot upgrades that have been made and those that should have been made to make a house marketable.  I did not buy my first choice in a home because Julie knew about and was able to explain an issue with Loisiana-Pacific siding that would have cost $30,000 to fix. 

 

I did not buy my second choice in a home because of Julie's knowledge of the population growth and diversity trends of the metro-Atlanta area and her ability to quickly understand my personality and needs.  At the time I did purchase my home I had some regrets about not buying my second choice house.  Having been in my home for six months and having learned more about the area, I have become deeply appreciative of Julie's knowledge and instincts.  I now know, without a doubt, that the house I did purchase makes me significantly happier than the house she advised against ever could.

 

Julie is also a very shrewd negotiator.  When writing a contract we discussed what was important to me.  What upgrades I wanted to make myself, because I like the challenge, and what upgrades needed to be made by the seller.  She was quick to point out things I never would have considered.  I have been extremely happy with the deal we reached.

 

Julie and I worked quickly but I was never rushed.  We talked about houses honestly but professionally.  I enjoyed every aspect of my home buying experience.  I hope to stay where I am for a long time but when I do move again I will call Julie.

As you were well aware, I was having a very difficult time selling my property. I had been through 2 other Realtors with no results; I was on the verge of being foreclosed on my property in Midtown Atlanta. At the time we first spoke, you said that you would get the job done, and you would sell my loft. On one hand this gave me a great deal of confidence. On the other hand, I was a bit skeptical (having had 2 Realtors tell me the same thing). Well, my skepticism was very short lived. Because you did exactly what you said you would do. With your persistence, and professionalism you were able to sell my loft when no one else could. You were true to your word. You worked with great diligence to provide me with a good feeling and wonderful results. Even though I was a half a country away (in Chicago) your communication was great. You worked with me every step of the way, and always kept me informed as to what was happening. I truly don?t know where I would be, or how different my life might have been with your professionalism, diligence and persistence in the selling of my property. Thank you. I will recommend you and Keller Williams to all of my friends and business associates in the Atlanta area. Thank you again for all of your help in selling my property and for being true to your word.

Buying a house for the first time can be very stressful. It is the single biggest thing that any of us will spend our hard earned money on. When you start this process, you should have someone that you trust to guide you through it. Julie Brittain did that for me.
 
I can be a very picky person. Julie was just as picky as me in making sure that I got the right house. She only showed me houses in the area I specified. She narrowed down my list to homes with good schools, 2 car garages and flat driveways. Julie did this before I even asked her to. Anytime that I needed to look at houses, she was available. Even when I wanted to look at a house for the third time, she didn’t get frustrated by my indecision. 
 
Overall, Julie made the home buying process easy.  Many people feel that people in sales just want to close the sale and move on to the next person. I never once got that feeling out of Julie. Looking for a house seemed more like hanging out with a friend than making the most stressful decision of my life. Thanks for everything, Julie!

My husband and I bought our first home in December 2003, three months after relocating from Boston with our companies. At that point, we were new to Atlanta , new to the real estate market and ignorant of the various skills and strategies essential in making a wise investment in real estate.  We were given Julie’s name from a co-worker, and it became readily apparent to us that we were working with an extremely capable woman.

 

Julie is very generous with her time. She met us at odd times of the day, showing herself willing to match her schedule with ours. She patiently addressed the concerns and numerous questions that all first-time homebuyers face, and she taught us what we needed to know throughout the home buying process.

Julie was as enthusiastic as we were about finding great value.  Once we got into the negotiation process, she was a strong advocate. She offered strategies for significantly reducing the asking price of our home, and we were able to move in when our lease expired. While many agents we had dealt with previously refused to give their opinion on a home at any point in the process, Julie found a good balance between letting us form our own opinions and providing us with solid comparisons and facts. We felt like we knew where we stood at all times.

Over the course of our relationship, Julie has inspired me to pursue my own realtor’s license. We have referred her to countless friends, and would not hesitate to do so in the future. Her kind demeanor, consistency, flexibility and thorough knowledge of the Atlanta real estate market make her an excellent resource as well as a great friend.

Can Julie deliver? That's what we wondered the day we "found" her on the Internet. Her fast-sell claims were music to our ears. Our horse farm-ette in Nothwwest Fulton had languished for nearly 2 years, and we weren't sure why it wouldn't sell or why there were so few lookers. One week after we hired Julie, we knew why. Julie did not 'sit' on our listing. She did exactly what she said she would do and seemed to have boundless energy while doing it. She has experience, knowledge, contacts, and - most importantly - a very strong work ethic, which is rare in real estate today. It was refreshing to work with a person like Julie who not only delivered, but was a true pleasure to work with. We recommend Team Brittain without hesitation. They get it, they're with it, and they get with it!

After having my house for sale for approximately 10 months I was beginning to despair.  I am a single mom that was beginning to fear for my financial security after paying two mortgages for several months. Julie Brittain was recommended to me by a mutual friend, and what a difference she made!  I had an offer on my property in Stone Mountain within the first month.  I had received several offers and had even been under contract twice, but they had both fallen through.  This offer closed in a short time. Julie made herself available to me night and day.  The transaction was handled by Julie and went very smoothly.  She even represented me at the closing, since I had moved out of state and could not attend personally.

In short, you could not find a harder working, more personable or professional realtor anywhere. She has my heartfelt gratitude and deserves much more.

Julie worked tirelessly to sell our unique home up against many challenges presented by the 7 acre property. She wwas able to find the right buyers, conduct a very professional negotiation and bring about a successful closing. In addition to helping with the sale, Julie helped maintain the property as we had already re-located to NY when she took over the listing.  I have bought and sold 5 homes and can offer my best recommendation for Team Brittain.

Thanks for helping us find our new home! We never thought it would happen so quickly. You were great to work with and we wish you continued success!

Kelly Wyatt Sigg

It was a pleasure working with you on the sale of our previous house and the purchase of our new one.  You were professional and quick to respond to my phone calls.  I have been in the insurance business for 11 years and I know good service when I receive it.  I would refer you to any of my friends and clients!
