Julie is very knowledgeable and was very sensitive to our needs and situation. She has many years of experience and is very familiar with the market in Danville. She responded to all our calls, texts, and emails quickly and answered all our questions and concerns. Her experience in marketing really showed, based on the number of people that showed up at the open house and the broker’s tour. She is very efficient. As soon as we had the home ready to sell, all inspections were completed, and the home was staged and photographed right away. It took only 14 days from the date the listing went live on MLS to the closing. We received multiple offers and sold for over asking. Overall, Julie was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home.

Julie is the consummate professional. She is our "go-to" realtor and I recommend her without reservation. Julie and her team are so involved and proactive every step of the way, which reduces the stress when going through such an important and personal transaction. Get her on your side...You will not be disappointed!

Julie is fantastic! We are so grateful for all her guidance, support, knowledge and expertise. From start to finish she was attentive to our needs and was a calming presence throughout. She always made time for us and made us feel as though our transaction was the most important thing she was working on. We definitely benefited from her vast network of professionals. We could not have gone through the process of successfully selling our home without her and her amazing team. We very highly recommend Julie for any real estate needs you might have. Thank you Julie!!!Marilyn and Andy

I'm not even sure there are the right words to truly describe the way we feel about Julie - extremely smart and knowledgeable, highly experienced, honest and unbiased, patient, strategic, and highly over communicative - she is one of the most impressive women in business I have personally encountered.I was referred to Julie by a friend at work and Julie patiently spent over an hour in our first discussion educating us on the house buying process. She put us at ease with the current state of the market and also clearly defined the roles we both would play as we discussed next steps. Throughout our entire engagement, Julie 100% acted in the best interest of our family and helped us better understand what we wanted and needed.When it came to finalizing our negotiations with the sellers, this is where she really knocked it out of the park. The price at which we felt most comfortable, and the high end of our budget, was a true long shot. She explained that she would do the best she could but braced us that the outcome may not be what we wish. We had no doubt she would get it done, and she did. With some minor final negotiations, we got the house at the price we wanted.We put our whole trust in her with such a big decision and can't thank Julie and her team enough!"

Julie was a phenomenal help guiding me through the process of selling my parents’ home that they had lived in for nearly 50 years. She was on point in helping guide the repairs needed and making it look a bit more modern to appeal to today’s buyers. She also seemed to be a mind reader that whenever I had a question, she had sent me an update before I even asked her! She was very reassuring on selling in an unsteady market and I highly recommend her and her team!

Julie Whitmer and her team at Compass are fantastic! They are professional, helpful, and very prompt. Julie was always quick to respond to my questions and phone calls. She made the process of selling my home seem easy. I will definitely work with Julie again when it comes time to purchase my next home!

Both Portia and I are very grateful to Julie for her work and unyielding patience in finally getting a house that we can proudly call home. She is discreet in her comments, highlighting the plus and minus as appropriate. We very much appreciate that.Connecting long distance from Southern California has not been ideal, yet Julie has been available 24/7 even on vacation! She will make the time.We look forward to working with Julie Whitmer again without hesitation!

We contacted Julie Whitmer in late August 2020 to discuss putting our home on the market in January or February. We needed guidance in how best to prepare our house. In that initial meeting, Julie explained the current market conditions and recommended we consider preparing our home for market as soon as possible. The market was heating up, mortgage financing was optimal and there was a very low housing inventory. We were hesitate based on the short time frame to get the house market ready. But we agreed based on her assurance that we could get this done together.To get the house in top condition, Julie recommended we do several things but with the principle of spending money to get the most favorable return. She did a total property evaluation and made recommendations to maximize buyer appeal. For example, we repainted the house inside and out, updated light fixtures inside and out, and many other things to update our home. We had a large beautiful lot, but it needed work. She reimagined the backyard within minutes of first seeing it and her vision, when executed, substantially improved its appeal. To get all this work done Julie has a cadre of reasonably priced contractors with whom she has worked with for years. They were all very experienced and provided us with quality service. From painters to plumbers to landscapers to electricians to tree trimmers to furniture movers, when all was done, we believe we maximized our spending.From a marketing perspective, our house hit the market with lots of excitement brewing and offers forming. Once the house went live, there were so many showings over just two days and multiple offers. Wow, what a whirlwind! Julie handled the long days, many behind the scenes activities, just everything so professionally. She negotiated an amazing contract that was above our initial expectations and the highest sale reported in our community.Working with Julie was a wonderful experience. She was always available, upbeat, ready to help problem solve, patient and so professional. She coordinated many of the contractors including the staging of the house… which was simply amazing!With no hesitations, we would recommend Julie to our friends and family. Julie, thank you for sharing your expertise, challenging us, and guiding us to an amazing result! You are the best!!!

We called Julie when we were finally ready to sell our beloved Danville home. We knew Julie would provide just the right amount of professionalism and personal touch. We had known her personally when we lived in the area, and of course her real estate expertise is well-known in the community. We could not have been more pleased with both Julie's representation of our home, and the outcome of the sale. Her marketing was perfect, and her timing could not have been better. We would highly recommend Julie's representation if you are looking for an agent.

My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Julie and her whole team! This was the first time that we went through the home-buying process and Julie's guidance every step of the way was INVALUABLE! Her knowledge of the market, the neighborhoods, home design/construction made us feel so prepared and confident in this unfamiliar process. Going through this during COVID could have made this even more stressful, but Julie helped us in our expectations and how to handle and approach the competitive market so that we could get our dream home! The whole Julie Whitmer team has been so wonderful to work with from our very first call with Julie all the way to closing logistics with Tammy and Laurel. We're so grateful that Julie came recommended to us and we will continue to recommend her to all our friends and family!

Julie helped my wife and I find the perfect home in record time. The Bay Area market is so difficult and we knew nothing as first-time home buyers. Julie spent extra time ensuring we understood the process, had a clear set of criteria for our home and how we could form a winning offer. She lined up many viewings for us and knew the neighborhoods extremely well. We highly recommend her!

Hiring Julie was the best decision! Not only is she extremely knowledgable about the market and neighborhoods, but she is honest and sincerely wants what is best for her clients. She was not afraid to candidly tell us her thoughts as we navigated our way through both finding and selling a home (which she did both of for us!) We always felt like we were in great hands with her and the entire team. We could not be happier with both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home.

We recently closed on our dream home in Danville, CA. Before entering this market as prospective buyers we set our expectations very low because the market is absolutely on fire right now. When we first met Julie she sat us down and gave us a transparent report on market conditions and helped us devise a plan on how our offers could be most competitive and how we can achieve our goals in spite of the market challenges. From the planning phase through the offering phase Julie was highly engaged, responsive and patient. She is a pro with technology and picks up on the smallest of details that we even missed when reviewing disclosure packets and walking properties. Buying a home is stressful and Julie was a calm steady hand that guided us through the ups and downs. One of Julie’s main assets is her deep market knowledge and long standing relationships with other agents. When you work with Julie you are getting a professional that has seen and experienced all the cycles our market has gone through over the past decades - this knowledge inspires so much confidence when she is representing you. Aside from her professionalism, Julie is a very kind and upbeat person and a joy to be around. Plus, we never felt rushed when we asked the hundreds of dummy questions that first-time homebuyers ask (I’m sure we asked more questions than any of her prior clients!). Julie raised a family of her own in this area so she is highly knowledgeable about schools, activities and neighborhoods that are great for families...which was so important for us with 6 year old twins. With Julie’s help we successfully closed on a home we never thought was in our strike zone and we cannot wait to take the keys and start our next chapter. We are so grateful - thanks, Julie!

I worked with Julie and represented the Buyers the sale of a beautiful home in Danville, Ca. As far as Agent to Agent goes she was phenomenal to work with. She represented the Seller’s and from start to finish she was top notch in absolutely every detail of the transaction. My Buyer’s are so thrilled and the whole experience was pleasurable. In this business you really appreciate a smooth transaction and the professionalism and kindness of other agents like Julie really stand out.
