She was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times. She is an excellent negotiator with a personalized touch. Julie made the nightmare that is finding a home in Belmont in these times so much easier! We totally recommend her!" -- Huascar S. ★★★★★"I’m very happy to write this testimonial for Julie. I met her in 2018 in whole foods while buying fish and briefly showed interested in buying a house sometime in the future. Since then, me and my fiancé went through a lot and kept changing our requirements and budget till we finally got serious in 2021. Julie was patient with us this whole time, and never rushed us into anything. When we did get serious in July 2021, she took us to as many houses we wanted to see, patiently discussed the comparables, and gave us general guidance on what she thought about a given property. She found us the best lender, and finally when it came to putting offers, she was very quick, often working within a couple hours of the deadline. She made this whole process seem less stressful and also educated us well on the whole process. Even after closing, she has been helping us find contractors for house work. I think we made a good friend along the way and will continue working with her in the future. If you choose to go with Julie as your agent, trust me you are in great hands! The housing market in Bay Area is very competitive, and full of people out there trying to squeeze extra dollars out of you, which is why you need someone like Julie you can trust with your millions of $$$" -Sohil H. ★★★★★"So glad that we had Julie to help us find the perfect house in a tough market! The process wasn’t easy as I’m working overseas as an expat. All the showings were conducted virtually and Julie was great at accommodating the time difference and so attentive in pointing out the details not easily showing through the cellphone camera. When it comes to contract negotiations, Julie is timely and truly puts the clients’ interest first. It took us more than two months and a few failed bids, but finally we closed on a house we like the best. Really appreciate the great service from Julie through the whole process! With her, you’re in good hands." -Zengtao L. ★★★★★"One of the things I appreciate most about Julie was simply her availability to us. We had been casually looking at real estate, but honestly weren't sure if we wanted to move to a home with an extra bedroom, or possibly find an investment property. Over the course of a year, Julie would send recommendations, and she also made herself available to patiently answer any and all our questions -- whether it was about a specific property, or about financing (she connected us to a terrific lender). We did finally find our dream home in Tahoe, and Julie really helped give us confidence throughout the closing process. I can highly recommend Julie Rossi Rideau." -Danny Y. ★★★★★" Julie is one of the best realtors any one can ask for in bay area. Before Julie we worked with two other agents and both use to push us very hard to put an offer that was outside of our comfort zone. I always felt that bay area realtors don't care about the buyers. They are willing to work only with people who want close things quickly and at any price. Julie is very different as compared to other realtors. She is totally vested into buyer's interest. I wish we would have found her couple of years ago. Julie actually understood our needs and never pushed us to buy something or quote some thing unreasonable that we were not comfortable with. Julie is extremely proactive, hardworking and patient. She is thorough, detailed with all the disclosures. We purchased our home remotely due to Pandemic and Julie went above and beyond our expectations. She showed us each and every house and not even once did she complain when we told her that we don't want to put an offer on the house that she showed us. Even after we closed the deal Julie took care of everything, our house locks, fumigation, she hired her contractors to confirm if a house had a gas pipe or if there was an issue with foundation. " - Nesh C. ★★★★★" I have met and worked with several agents since 2008 when I was property hunting for my first home. I had bought and eventually sold my first property, then got another one. In other words, home buying and selling are not new to me. There were more than 10 agents that I’ve met and observed how they present themselves and carry out the jobs. The exceptional one and I have decided to keep is Julie. She carries a professional attitude. She’s early or on time during open house appointments with us. Julie pays attention to details and transparent with the information. Other agents would talk mostly the good or advantages but hardly the opposite side. They usually push for quick decision to purchase or sell. Overall, Julie is so amazing to work with. She makes us feel very comfortable and not rushed. I took the effort to write this review because she deserves it. Julie gives a positive client experience. You won’t be disappointed. " - Lani S. ★★★★★" Thanks to Julie's help, we have recently succeeded in buying a condo that satisfies all our requirements. In working with her throughout our house-hunting process, which lasted for several months, we have found in her a highly commendable real estate professional. She is resourceful, providing us with detailed information of all available properties that suit our needs. She is patient, offering her service to us over a considerable period of time and letting us take full control of our decision-making process without ever trying to nudge us toward a quick deal. She is, above all, one of the rare type of real estate agents who always have the clients' interest in their mind. In offering advice and guidance to us, she consistently showed her determination to get the best possible deal for us. In addition, Julie is also a great pleasure to work with, always pleasant, courteous and respectful when interacting with us. For anyone who is interested in finding (or, for that matter, selling) a home in the bay area, I could not recommend Julie highly enough. " - Yameng L. ★★★★★" Julie was great and friendly. We sent her our list of priorities for what we were looking for in a home. She didn't waste our time with homes that she knew we either wouldn't like or didn't meet our priority list. She worked hard to show lots of homes in the area we were looking to live. Once we found a home Julie worked day and night with us to get everything together. She relayed all information from the seller and banks in a quick and timely fashion. She was quick to respond with any and all questions regardless of the hour and didn't make us feel left out or in the dark. She in the end was able to pass the keys to me and my wife for our home! Thanks for everything Julie it was a pleasure to work with you! " - Dan & Danielle. ★★★★★" Julie is extremely hard working, helpful, and detail oriented. We were first time home buyers and Julie was extremely patient and kind to help us through all our questions. She was available to us even after working hours. Julie is very competitive and she gives her 100% to make sure you get that dream house you always wanted. One of the most important qualities in a realtor is being able to build relationships and Julie rocks at that. She knows many people in the business and extra knowledge about real estate market gives you an upper edge in this extremely competitive market. We were not even sure about buying a house but she made it happen for us in just a couple of months! We feel like going with Julie was one of the best things we did during the home buying process. She makes dreams come true! :) " - Rugveda P. ★★★★★"If you want a warrior full of heart and soul for a realtor then Julie is the professional for you. She gets it done. She was professional, responsive and truly cared about the needs of my family and I. As a wheelchair user, it's enormously important for me to work with a realtor who understands my needs and she really nailed that for me. Julie is so knowledgeable and hardworking. She's the best realtor I've ever worked with and for that reason she will be my last. I'm never going to anyone else for real estate ever again. Of all the realtors I've worked with in the past, Julie blew them all away with her professionalism and fighting spirit. She cared about what I needed and wanted and fought for me to get that every step of the way. Julie works with a great team of people too. She picks them well, because she really does care about getting you want you want and need. When you are wanting to buy or sell a home, the one person you need to call is Julie. She'll take care of everything. Thanks Julie, it means a lot to have had a Realtor like you help me and my family. You're our realtor for life." - Joe S. ★★★★★"Julie = Smart, hard working, diligent, analytical, dedicated, empathetic, good listener, determined, loyal, goal oriented, team player, winner. There are probably more superlatives to describe Julie but these first came to mind. If you are lucky enough to count Julie as a partner, colleague, employee or friend, consider yourself among the blessed. She'll take you higher." - Paul S. ★★★★★"Julie Rossi would be a terrific add to any team, say in marketing or sales - she's persistent, a good negotiator, very personable and disciplined." -Gino B. ★★★★★"Julie is a consummate professional.

You are assured of receiving the utmost in customer satisfaction with Julie. Your experience is greatly enhanced by her thoroughness, knowledge, and positive attitude." - Sharon ★★★★★"Julie is a rockstar! She helped me buy my first house. She was extremely patient with my learning process. She is always available, but not pushy at all. Lot of my friends suggested that I get a Realtor who gives the buyer their own space to decide and make a decision and not rush through the process. Julie was a perfect match. She is very professional and helped me feel comfortable in difficult/contentious situations with the Seller's rep. She knows the process of buying, contract details, and the whole world of documentation quite well. She errs on the side of gathering more information before making a decision, always a better approach! My suggestion to you, if you are reading this - rely on Julie, and she will take care of everything. She will go out of her way to help you get what you want." - Siddharth K. ★★★★★"Julie helped me find a place after a nightmare time looking for a 1 bedroom in the Palo Alto area. She is polite, respectful and knowledgeable. Furthermore, she went above and beyond to secure my place. I cannot recommend her highly enough!" - Sandip P. ★★★★★"Julie is a rarity in this business. She is someone who puts the needs of her client above her own interests. She works tirelessly to try and find the perfect place based on your needs at the right price. In my case we had the challenge of utilizing a VA loan and a shoestring budget but Julie worked really hard to help me. I can't recommend her enough." - David C. ★★★★★"Julie Rossi helped my wife & I find out first home. She was someone who was always available to answer our questions via text, email and phone. Being first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions about the process and the jargon used by various folks part of the process all ie, the lenders, appraisers, title company, et al, and Julie was more than happy to educate us about whatever we wanted. Julie is someone who isn't pushy at all and being first time home owners, we felt very comfortable working with someone who wasn't pushing us to put a certain kind of offer on a certain house. She respected our choices all along the way and was prompt and extremely efficient in working with our lender and getting us all necessary information about the houses we chose to make offers on. In summary, Julie is a fantastic person at first and then a fantastic real estate professional! :)" - Suprita & Nash ★★★★★"Julie is one truly amazing person. She's the best realtor my wonderful husband and I could ever have had. She went above and beyond for us through the entire process of house hunting, and making an offer and closing the deal. It was especially important for us to have a realtor who understood the needs of someone with a disability and being a wheelchair user, as my husband is. She was phenomenal! I truly couldn't say enough great things about her. Every step of our home buying process was made better because she was our realtor and I've never seen someone work so hard to make sure we got what we wanted and needed. We are forever grateful to Julie. She's a living saint. Thank you Julie, for all you have done for our family. We are so truly grateful to you and we will always choose you for our Real Estate Agent." - Anita M. ★★★★★"Julie is a great dependable realtor who is helpful, patient, and totally generous with her time and energy. She helped my family and me to find our first home in the competitive market of Silicon Valley. We were house hunting for more than a year and met many real estate agents. Julie was the first one who made us feel comfortable to be represented in a reliable and professional manner. She was always available to answer our manifold requests and questions. Julie went above and beyond with her service and we certainly received much more help than we expected. We are very happy with our first home and couldn’t have been more pleased with her support. We will definitely work with Julie in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking forward to growing roots in the bay area." - Don V. ★★★★★"Go with Julie!!! She was so insightful and helpful when it came to buying my first home. Although, I ended up purchasing a home out of state, so she recommended me to another agent whom I was equally happy with. Julie is very knowledgable, trustworthy and not at all pushy. She will talk you out of buying a home if she doesn't think it's a good buy. I will continue to recommend her to anyone in the state of CA.." - Tatiana ★★★★★"I knew Julie was about three years ago, she showed me the first property was in union city, later on, she has brought me for a few housing tours in bay. I was not find my ideal home in that time, but Julie always periodically checked with me and asked me about my new requirements. Although I know many realtors in bay I still like to use her as my real estate agent. On 10/30, I finally got my first home and it was with a good price. Julie helped me not only house tours, but also in price negotiation, similar properties or neighborhood properties' price comparisons. She is very hard work and enables to provide a high quality service to her customer, speeds up the transactions by using her years of industrial experience and knowledge, I strongly recommend her!.." - Jenny H
