Julie Gardner

I am a wife, a mother, a REALTOR, a community volunteer, a weekly blogger, a philanthropist, a comic at heart, a lapsed athlete, a flea market junkie, a serial renovator, and a prolific chocolate chip cookie baker. I enjoy a good book, a fabulous "find," an undiscovered treasure, and long walks on the beach - often with my husband and dog in tow.

After more than a decade honing my skills, I moved to McGuire Real Estate in 2017 to offer my clients greater regional and international reach, better technology, and a more relevant marketing approach to both buying and selling that are especially important in this highly competitive marketplace. With offices in San Francisco, Marin and the East Bay, McGuire is "boutique" enough to be hands-on, but offers a more expansive snapshot of the Bay Area communities it serves.

I currently live in the Crocker Highlands neighborhood in Oakland, having sold our Piedmont home a few years ago, and enjoy working with both motivated Buyers and Sellers alike. Having bought and renovated several homes of my own over the years, I believe wholeheartedly in the process and the dream of home-ownership. To that end, I work diligently on my clients' behalf and am delighted to help them navigate this exciting journey - whether in short order, or much further down the road.

In my spare time, I write a very popular weekly Blog called "A New Perspective," which tracks lifestyle, community happenings and real estate news in and around the Bay Area.

Having spent the first half of my adult life in San Francisco, and my second in the Piedmont/Oakland, I am pleased to have discovered all that this side of the bridge has to offer. The East Bay is an extremely vibrant, and eclectic kaleideiscope of people and experiences and I am proud to add my story to the mix.
