    Julie was a fantastic real buyer agent for us. We faced a litany of setbacks and issues because the seller's estate went into probate four times. It took us over nine month to finally close on our house. With Julie's support, guidance and patience, we made it to the finish line. Julie went the extra mile for us. I highly recommend Julie!!!

    We were so lucky to have Julie as our broker as we searched for and bought our first home. We were also new to the area and she took the time to answer our questions about different towns. We covered a lot of ground and saw a lot of homes and she was always patient and kind, guiding us through the process. We highly recommend her - wed even recommend moving to the area just so she can be your broker!

    I hired Julie as my agent because she had come highly recommended from two friends who had recently purchased homes. Julies performance lived up to all of the reviews on this site and then some! She has a very easygoing personality and spent a lot of time working with me to help me determine exactly what I was looking for in a house. She is also extremely patient, spending nearly a year working in close contact with me while I narrowed down my search for the right home. When it came time to negotiate the deal, Julie provided insightful and knowledgable advice on how much to offer. I got a great deal on my home and I dont feel like I overpaid at all. During the due diligence phase she looked out for my best interests and negotiated hard to make sure the seller followed through on some last minute changes they committed to. Julie made the whole process smooth and painless. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent in this area!

    We recently closed on a purchase of a condo in Northampton and Julie was our agent. She was absolutely terrific. She knows the local market inside and out, was transparent and candid, and truly listened to us. She helped us quickly find what we were looking for, provided excellent advice on pricing to negotiate with the seller and was then with us every step of the way through closing - very responsive, and never said anything was outside the scope of her responsibility. I felt like she had our back all the way through even when the seller last minute pulled down some curtain rods - she fixed it within 24 hours. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the area.

    Julie Held helped us sell 2 homes and purchase our current home, 3 transactions at the same time all within a short few weeks. She is professional, reliable, knowledgeable and easy to work with. It was a pleasure working with her. We could not be happier.
