Julia Chon

At the heart of Julia’s work is a deep commitment to building genuine relationships and guiding clients toward spaces where they truly feel at home. Known for her loyalty, attentiveness, and follow-through, she approaches real estate as a highly personal process rooted in trust, transparency, and a strong understanding of each client’s goals. Bringing extensive market knowledge, strategic negotiation skills, and genuine care, Julia advises buyers, sellers, renters, and investors across both Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Prior to joining Compass, Julia studied psychology and business at the University of Texas at Austin while working closely in private, luxury environments. This combination shaped her ability to understand client motivations, build lasting connections, and anticipate needs, while developing a strategic, business-minded approach to real estate. Her academic background influences how she evaluates market dynamics, structures negotiations, and guides clients through complex decisions with clarity and confidence, while her experience in high-touch settings instills discretion, elevated service, and a strong attention to detail throughout the client experience.

After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Julia relocated to New York City to pursue her long-standing passion for real estate. Through years of hands-on experience exploring the city’s neighborhoods, buildings, and lifestyle offerings, she has developed a nuanced understanding of New York’s diverse market and takes pride in helping clients navigate it with confidence and ease, while discovering their own connection to the city.

Fluent in both Korean and English, she offers clear communication and a globally minded perspective. Outside of work, Julia enjoys an active lifestyle through tennis and pickleball and draws inspiration from New York City’s cultural scene, often spending her time exploring galleries, shows, and new restaurants.
