ZillowVERIFIEDThis summer Julia Kovalyova helped us to sell our house in Chandler. Our family loved working with Julia and we want to thank her for being so professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She is the best real estate broker I worked with! Julia went above and beyond with our listing, and patiently walked us through every step. She is also a very punctual and responsible person, always on time, without any delays answering our calls/texts, even late in the evening. Often many professionals promise to be available, but once you sign a contract, you get directed to a voicemail or an assistant. It can be quite stressful to be waiting for people to return your call, especially when there are pressing issues. Fortunately, Julia was great at answering all of our questions in a timely manner and providing us with the necessary advice. She has a great eye and sees all flaws that need to be fixed in order to get the best price. She is honest and will always tell you the truth. On top of being so responsive and accommodating, she is also a wonderful person to be around. I absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking to sell or buy a property!

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia represented us for both the sale of our old house and the purchase of a new one. Both transactions went thru seamlessly. Julia was very particular about preparation for the sale, gave good pointers, took her time to educate us on do's and do not's, never missed an appointment or were late, was very proactive, and knew how to make the sale / purchase happen. Julia stayed focused and positive. We set the goal, we met the goal. It was a real client/agent teamwork. We ended up selling our house above the listing price and negotiating down the purchase price of our new dream home. If you are looking for determination, professionalism, results and timeliness, look no further. A+++. Thank you, Julia, for your help! Way to go!

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia was absolutely amazing. She helped us purchase a property in May, and we decided to use her for a second purchase a week ago. She is so accountable, always picks up, so proactive and so kind. A true gem to the real estate market. Highly advise

ZillowVERIFIEDI met Julia, after a phone call to her and her team, to set up looking at some homes. When it was obvious I wasn't impressed with the first one we looked at, she said there were more to look at and we ended up looking at several different locations. She showed me my future home later in the week . When I told her I really liked it, she was absolutely on top of the details, surrounding area, all financial options, and answered every question I had. She made the process extremely easy and she even showed up at the closing, which was really good because we had a few hiccups with the owner. At any rate, I can't say enough about her professionalism, her prompt responses, the help she gave through the entire process and the fact that she really cared that I got the best home, and deal, with my purchase. She made all the difference in the world because she actually wanted to make sure I was taken care of and felt good about my purchase. Thank you Julia!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia is the real estate agent you want. She helped us find our dream home and negotiate a great deal. Responsiveness and Communication - It didn't matter what time , or day of the week it was, Julia was quick to respond. In the 2 months that we worked together, she either answered my call when I called, or called me back within 5 minutes apologizing that she missed my call. If we weren't talking on the phone, we were texting and emailing, but even then, no delays. What I really liked was that when a milestone in the buying process was achieved, she would always call before emailing. Equally, if not more important, when an obstacle presented itself, she called before emailing to make sure that we understood what she was sending.Accommodating and Thoughtful - We moved from out of state and had to fly in several times. Even though it was out of her way, she picked up my wife from the airport and dropped her off to avoid her incurring a ride share. She even drove 4 hours round trip to come get me and take me to the airport. This is A+ service!Knowledgeable and Professional - Julia is very nice and easy to talk to, but more importantly, she knows what shes doing. She was very knowledgeable in the areas we were looking ( Phoenix, Peoria, Glendale and Anthem ) and had a great working relationship with the listing agents. Due to my time constraints I needed to see as many homes as possible. In 2.5 days Julia was able to schedule close to 30 showings! She always told us that it was her job to be there for us and making us happy was her priority.She negotiated a great deal during a time of lower inventory. She gave us confidence, comfort and peace of mind. There were a couple of things that we needed from the seller after we moved in. She has remained involved and just as engaged resolving all issues and concerns. She even gifted our two kids (which she only met once) a welcome toy. Our kids loved the gift and to this day talk about Julia.Thank you for making the house buying process quick, easy and efficient.

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia is FANTASTIC!!! She is so responsive never did we wait longer than an hour for a response from her. She knew the area well, and if it were her, we would have left money on the table. We did not know the Phoenix housing market in comparison from the area we moved from. She was able to help us navigate the market, and negotiated a fair deal for both us and the sellers. She works with integrity, and even the people she referred to us, like a plumber, home inspector, pool contractors etc. were all of the highest quality. I HIGHLY recommend Julia Kovalyova as your realtor, you will not be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia is very knowledgeable of the local Phoenix area. She was very responsive to all of our requests and her feedback was immediate. She kept us up to date on the entire transaction process and went over and above our expectations. My wife and I were extremely impressed with her level of professionalism and would highly recommend her to do the same job for others. Overall, a very pleasant experience!

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia was a rock star! She was so helpful, very responsive, knowledgeable, and you can tell she wants what is best for her clients. She showed us as many houses as we wanted and never once did we feel like a bother. She was running all over the city for us! She even encouraged us to see a few more homes for peace of mind to know we explored all of our options. When the appraisal came in lower than our offer, she immediately renegotiated with the seller and got us a great deal! You can tell she really cares about what she does, and about the clients. We couldn't be happier with having her as our realtor and would absolutely recommend her to everyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDSo the comps were $190,000 or so. I think Zillow showed my house about the same. Well, an offer was made in a day and a half after we put it on the market for $230,000. I eventually sold for that amount. Need I say more!!! Julia really new her stuff!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDI was initially impressed with her inside knowledge of the condo complex that I was interested in. From there she continued to impress with her high level of professionalism and her sense of calm when I thought things were hitting a snag. She was always right! She is the only realtor in Tucson that I would ever consider working with again. Randy MillerHappy Customer

ZillowVERIFIEDWe meat Julia several years ago while we were looking to purchase a property in Phoenix area, i've worked with several agents before her and was not impressed. Julia however was not only extremely knowlegeble about the curent market situation and neighborhood details but she constantly went above and beyond to make sure we were getting what we were looking for without waisting our time. We've been going to Julia every time and she has helped us with multiple transactions through out the years. Julia is super proficient with all the necessary paperwork and is awesome with numbers, her negotiating skills are incomparable, which esentially reflected in us getting an awesome deal every time. If you're looking to work with someone that cares about their clients and is always there for her clients, we highly recommend Julia as your to go to real estate professional. THANK YOU JULIA ;)

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia contacted me after needed more information on a particular property. From that point everything went very smooth and after short period of time I purchased my new home that I dearly love. She did a fantastic job, conducting herself in a knowledgeable and professional manner, perfecting an unforgettable journey for me. Perfection can be easily achieved if supreme excellence is the standard. I would recommend her service to anyone, anytime.

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia was absolutely wonderful to work with. I ended up having a bad experience with my lender (Wells Fargo - don't use them) and in the 11th hour, Julia referred me to a local lender who was able to close quickly on a complex property. Julia is very pleasant to work with and went way above and beyond the call of duty in my eyes when the financing got complicated. She's a true professional and takes service very seriously. When we went into contract, she showed extreme attention to detail. I really felt like Julia was my advocate during this purchase and I highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were very impressed with Julia Kovalyova. She understood what we were looking for in a new home and spent several days showing us properties, with great patience and a positive attitude. When we finally found the right home, she negotiated the sale flawlessly, and we closed in less than one week. We highly recommend Julia Kovalyova!

ZillowVERIFIEDI made multiple house hunting trips to Tucson over several months while waiting for our home in Colorado to sell. It was not unusual for us to look at 15 to 20 houses per day. Julia was always accommodating, organized, and prepared. We found a very nice home and closed ahead of schedule. I really appreciated that she always quickly responded to any email, texts, or phone calls I sent!

Review for Member: Julia Kovalyova
ZillowVERIFIEDJulia showed us numerous properties none of which were quite to our liking but they were what was available in a limited time that we were in Tucson. She kept plugging along never being discouraged with a buyer who is very particular. Then she found us our diamond. It was a short sale and a lot of Realtors don't like dealing with short sales. The typical time for a short sale is 6 months or more we went from start to finish in 2 months. We were not the richest buyers looking for a high end home but Julia treated us like we were buying the Taj Mahal. As various issues popped up during the buying process she was on them immediately always resolving them to our satisfaction. I was buying this property from 2500 miles away and she made it simple. I would recommend her to anyone anytime. She was just a pleasure to do business with.

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and professional. This was our first time buying a home, and as such we had A LOT of questions. Julia very patiently walked us through everything, explaining every step. She provided a ton of information, but nothing overwhelming. She had our best interest at heart, and although the sellers agent was HORRIBLE she made up for it ten fold with the patience of a saint. We were working with out of state family on this purchase, which I thought would make things hard but Julia made the whole process easy. Should we need to buy another home some day, Julia will be the first person we call. You should call her right now (don't worry, she always answers). :)

ZillowVERIFIEDIt has been a true pleasure to work with Julia.. She is very professional and committed to finding the best property for her clients. Julia is persistent and a good listener. After a day of looking at properties that were not quite right, she would do more research that night and come up with a new list. Julia was helpful in finding the perfect home as well as following up on all the details prior to the closing. She stayed in touch after the closing, and that is a rare thing in this busy world.I would recommend Julia highly and without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIEDJulia is not only a great realtor, a dedicated professional and a very organized person but she was also a great friend throughout the entire process of buying our new home. Julia was always on-time, always sending updates of our biddings and negotiations and she will do the impossible to get your best deal and to care for the best interest of her clients. Julia helped us to get our dream home at an unbeatable deal. If you are looking for some with experience, dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm to get the house you have been dreaming for in the area don't hesitate to contact Julia. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with her service and we strongly recommend her for your new journey into buying your new house or renting in a new place.

Review for Member: Julia Kovalyova
ZillowVERIFIEDJulia Kovalyova is an excellent realtor who I highly recommend. As a first time home buyer, Julia was patient with me, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful to all questions making me very comfortable about the home buying process. She was very flexible to my work schedule, working on my behalf during the day, communicating with me after business hours, and showing homes to me on weekends. She has a great deal of dedication in that regard. I dont think many realtors would adjust their schedule that much to accommodate one client. Julia was very swift which ensured I did not lose the opportunity to get the house I was the most interested in.We viewed many houses Saturday, I told her I was interested late Sunday, she gave me all the information I needed Monday, and I had an offer in place on Tuesday. Many realtors would prefer to rush their clients to get done faster and move to the next client, but Julia encouraged me to sleep on the decision and take my time. If anything, I rushed her so that I did not lose the best house available. She negotiated excellently resolving all my requests and securing a more than fair price for the house. She was very prompt whenever I had an item that needed my approval and handled all the paperwork for me, making the process effortless on my part. Near the end of the home buying process, my mortgage lender suddenly required additional documents and caused the deal to approach the deadline date. The seller tried to attach an addendum to charge an extra fee every late day. Julia wisely told me not to agree to that addendum, motivated my lender to move faster, and got the deal done before the deadline. This saved me a great deal of money.When I first started looking for a realtor, I began my search on Zillow. I looked for somebody with a high rating and many reviews because it seemed like a safe bet and I did not want to take any chances as a first time buyer. I was referred to Julia by a highly rated realtor because of their scheduling conflicts, but I could not have been more pleased with how everything worked out. Julia is every bit as knowledgeable and qualified as those five star realtors, if not more so. But she was much more attentive and focused because I did not get lost in a sea of clients. In my personal opinion, Julia is the best realtor option in the area.
