ZillowVERIFIEDJulie Flouty is an amazing real estate agent and I recommend her without hesitation. With her help, we went from just starting our search to closing on an amazing home in just six weeks! Julie demonstrated several outstanding strengths during our time working with her: #1 - In-depth knowledge of the market. Julie was very on top of the housing market in San Mateo County, constructing and updating a portfolio of homes for us to look at as she learned our taste and needs. She was able to provide knowledge of homes that would be listed soon, and was able to steer us towards desirable neighborhoods and away from houses that would have problems. Julies knowledge granted us an information advantage, and helped to ensure that we were able to find and quickly close on the house that we desired. #2 - Connections to Agents, Brokers, and other useful contacts. Julie is well connected throughout San Mateo County, and through her network was able to get us access to tour houses outside of the normal open house hours. She also has a collection of some of the best mortgage brokers in the area, and we were able to swiftly close on our home without any issue at all. Finally, she has a strong network of skilled contractors, which has been immediately helpful as we seek to make repairs and upgrades to the house. I'm a very busy person, and dreaded having to discover all of this myself. Having Julies connections has saved me time and money where they have mattered the most. #3 - Care for us as buyers and people. Julie showed tremendous care for us as buyers and people, seeking to understanding our hopes and dreams in order to land us in a home we would love. I came to trust her throughout the process, and knew that she always had our best interests at heart. To give a specific example- it had been 15 years since I last negotiated a house purchase and I was unsure of how to think through the strategy of making offers. Julie guided us through the purchasing process and gave us sound advice while we were negotiating, allowing us to successfully close on the deal in the face of other buyers. Without Julie, I dont think wed have landed the house! I wholeheartedly recommend Julie Flouty as a real estate agent, and would work with her again in a heartbeat. Her knowledge, connections, and care exceed the other agents Ive worked with in the past, and directly resulted in us purchasing a home that we simply love. Thank you so much, Julie!
