"We had a wonderful experience working with Julie Chesne and her husband, Chris. Julie worked tirelessly to prepare and sell our condo quickly and at the price we wanted. We were out of town through it all and Julie took us on virtual tours of numerous properties when the time came to buy. All this during a pandemic!"
"We have been with Julie for two home purchases and two sales and she has never disappointed. She is very nice and patient helping us search for new homes and providing professional insights on marketing homes for sale when we moved. Julie is accountable and caring to her clients, she treats her clients as her friends and always there when you need her. If you work with her, you will see how much she loves what she is doing and how much passion she brings to her work. We have known Julie for eight years since we moved to IL. Now we have relocated out of state but we still introduce Julie to our friends and neighbors and hope more people have a chance to find an excellent realtor like Julie. "
