Client Testimonials
★★★★★We highly recommend Julie Bell as an exceptional real estate agent. Julie recently represented us in both the sale of our home and the purchase of a new property, and her performance throughout the entire process exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, Julie demonstrated an unparalleled skill in marketing and selling our home. She managed to attract multiple bids, assisted us to work through the benefits and negatives of each offer, and negotiated a sale price that was amazing. Her keen understanding of the real estate market, coupled with her strategic approach, played a crucial role in achieving such outstanding results.
Then the prospect faced us of having to purchase in the same market that we just sold in. In the face of a highly competitive market for purchasing a home, Julie utilized her strong relationships within the real estate community to our advantage. Julie's ability to navigate the complexities of the market and secure a home that met our criteria in such challenging conditions is a testament to her dedication and resourcefulness.
Beyond our primary homes, Julie has also been instrumental in our investment real estate ventures. She has assisted us in both buying and selling investment properties, demonstrating a deep understanding of the unique dynamics of the investment real estate market. Her guidance has been invaluable, leading to successful transactions and impressive returns on our investments.
Julie is not just a real estate agent; she is a strategic partner who is dedicated to achieving exceptional results for her clients. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and unwavering commitment make her an invaluable asset in any real estate transaction. We wholeheartedly recommend Julie to anyone seeking a real estate agent who goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding outcomes.“

"I have been a client of Julie's for more than a decade and have engaged in several real estate transactions with her across multiple offices. Julie is unfailingly responsive, has a keen sense of the market, maintains an extensive list of ancillary service providers needed to shepherd a deal to completion, and is extremely dedicated to the job and to her clients. Most importantly, she gets the job done every time, and I have frequently been surprised at the terms she is able to negotiate. I recommend Julie to anyone in the area that needs such service, whether they ask me or not.“

“I had a great experience working with my agent Julie Bell and cannot say enough good things about her. Not only did she have a tremendous amount of professional expertise, but has incredible people skills. This was really important when it came to making an offer and going through the process till closure. She had great communication and she was in touch regularly throughout the process. She always gave me her honest opinion which I really valued and was really useful since she knows so much about every step in the process. Julie is really someone you can trust and rely on, and she goes above and beyond for her clients. She knows the market inside and out, and I am firmly convinced that I would not have been able to have made a purchase in a competitive market without her knowledge, skills, kindness and sense of humor.“

★★★★★
“Not my first, nor my last, but definitely my BEST experience selling a condo! I just sold a condo in Brookline (Coolidge Corner) with the help of Julie and Sharyn. They are extremely honest, trustworthy and a true professional. If you are looking for a very respectful, knowledgeable and classy realtor to do business with and learn from, they are the ones you should go to. Superb realtors with great negotiation skills who went above and beyond to help me with the renovation and sale. They were always quick to respond to all my questions, phone calls and texts and made sure I clearly understood the whole process. In short, I learned the great value an experienced realtor brings to the table and I feel like I also made great friends in the process. I highly recommend Julie and Sharyn!“
