Julie Barkema

You hate typical real estate agent bios. Julie does too. They're stiff, bland, and identical to every other bio out there. Instead of boasting ad about awards and accomplishments you're not interested in, she’s taking the novel approach of actually giving you what you want -- real answers to questions you're probably wondering right now. Will Julie return a client’s calls and emails? Yes. Without question. She realizes this is one of the major frustrations the public has with dealing with agents. She gets dozens of calls and emails daily, and she works hard to reply as quickly as possible.

Is Julie a jerk? Depends on who you ask. If you ask certain agents who have stood between her clients and their real estate goals, they'll probably say "yes". A handful of people think she leaves golden footprints in the sand. Those are the two extremes, and most people's opinion falls somewhere in the middle.

Here's what she can tell you: she’s honest and candid. She takes pride in being approachable and friendly. And if you need a quick real estate brain, or a strong dose of honesty, you're in the right place. Loyalty to family, clients, and friends is one of her core values.
