TESTIMONIALS
"Julia is one of a kind...She is the hardest working and incredibly knowledgeable of the market. She knows exactly what needs to be done to get you the best possible price for your property. She has incredible contacts for contractors and each and every one of them are first rate. She is ALWAYS available, ALWAYS there for appointments, follows up with the contractors and is in constant contact with you. Her extended team is excellent as well and you will hear from them almost daily. The follow up is first rate! If you want a hard working, knowledgeable Real Estate Professional, look no further...Julia Murtagh is the BEST!!"
“Julia assisted us with a very complicated purchase of our new home in Pleasanton. Julia's consistent communication, professional guidance, and knowledge of various processes allowed us to successfully complete this transaction. I would recommend Julia to any home buyer!”
“BY FAR, the two most professional, efficient, financially beneficial and enjoyable real estate transactions I have ever experienced came through working with Julia Murtagh. Her patience and diligence found our family the dream home that was beyond our hopes. Her prudence and shrewd negotiations made it affordable. Her market knowledge, marketing footprint and expansive network sold our home at our asking price with offer in hand in 6 days in a "soft" market. Avoiding the cliché bombs that are often used in describing real estate professionals, it is most simply said that if you value your money, your time, a low level of stress and a desired outcome, you need to get the Power of the Purple in your life. Work with Julia Murtagh for all your real estate needs!”
“We can't thank Julia enough for the incredible job she did helping us sell our home in Country Fair (Pleasanton) this spring. Her recommendations and contacts to prepare our for market led to results that exceeded our expectations. Julia provided great advice, support and expertise throughout the entire process and was always accessible. The personal care and attention Julia provides to each client and transaction is stellar. We have worked with Julia for 10 years as she helped us purchase our Country Fair home in a competitive market several years earlier and also helped us buy and sell a home in Del Prado prior to that. In all of our interactions with Julia, she has always been honest, fair, responsive and professional. We highly recommend Julia to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She gets the job done but is also a true pleasure to work with.”
"Julia provided excellent coaching, guidance and recommendations to us to market our home of 18 years. We conducted an extensive agent search with final interviews conducted in our home. Julia Murtagh was the clear winner. She invested the time to understand our priorities and timing . Her network and her ability to make things happen is amazing. She has the vision and the talent to make that vision into reality. She is extremely knowledgeable about the homes and neighborhoods. She knows the pulse of the real estate in the Bay Area. Julia gave us great input and outstanding feedback on how to best market our home. She is focused, caring, enthusiastic, trustworthy and extremely well connected. Everything you wanted in a real estate agent. Julia Murtagh is highly recommended by us if you are looking for a highly professional but fun to work with person."
"Over the past 12 years, I have had the privilege of working with Julia and her team for multiple real estate transactions and each experience has been fantastic. Not only is Julia a skilled professional, she has also become a cherished friend.Julia and her team demonstrated an incredible level of expertise and professionalism. They took the time to understand our needs and managed the uncharted territory of buying/selling during the early months of the pandemic. We worked closely with Amy and she was patient and attentive, always ready to address questions and concerns, communicated in a clear and timely manner and made the entire process - can you believe it - fun! What sets Julia and her team apart, however, is their genuine care and dedication. They went above and beyond to ensure the buying and selling process was as smooth as possible, even when it meant putting in extra hours or negotiating on our behalf. It was evident that our best interests were at heart, and the Murtagh Team's honesty and integrity were truly refreshing.But what truly makes Julia and her team stand out is their warmth and friendship. Throughout the entire process, I felt like I was working with someone who I trusted in our home, could easily talk to, as many questions of, and who genuinely cared about our family's well-being and happiness. Julia & Amy celebrated every milestone with us and were supportive during the inevitable moments of stress that come with buying and selling a home. If you're looking for a realtor who is not only highly skilled and takes care of you as a friend would, I wholeheartedly recommend Julia Murtagh and her exceptional team. They will go above and beyond to make your real estate journey not only successful but also enjoyable. Thank you, Julia & Amy, for everything!" - Heather J.
“There’s a reason why Julia is consistently recognized and awarded by her local real estate
community. A few, actually. An always-on realtor who has a palpable passion for leading buyers
and sellers through the process, Julia has earned a reputation for having her finger on the pulse
of the Bay Area’s real estate market. And for good reason. San Francisco born and Menlo Park
bred, the Pleasanton local has spent the past 27 years gleaning the ins and outs of the
spectacular community she calls home.
Founder of her namesake team, Julia has accomplished $515 million in career sales. But more impressive than the numbers are her glowing testimonials. A self-professed “workhorse” beloved for her contagious enthusiasm and get-it-done attitude, Julia is a shrewd negotiator who is fair, responsive, and abundantly accessible. Imbued with nearly two decades of industry experience, there’s no one better to help stage that sprawling ranch or land the estate of your dreams.
A local legend in the Tri-Valley real estate market, it’s no surprise that Julia’s commitment to community extends beyond client care. Mother to three grown boys, she’s always been devoted to Little League boards, school site councils, and philanthropic efforts, notably founding the Young Men’s Service League of Pleasanton. Residing in Castlewood with her tight- knit brood, Julia is an intrepid hiker, savvy skier, and devout book club member. When she’s not walking her pooch, Delilah, you’ll find her enjoying her favorite bottle of pinot with friends, clients, or family, like any good Northern California native..”
