My brothers and I recently had to sell our father’s house, where he had lived for 51 years. The need to sell on short notice required a very tight window to prepare the house for sale, market it and sell it. Fortunately, we used Julie Spear as our real estate agent. Julie did outstanding work in all facets of her job. Her contractor contacts were essential in helping us quickly perform the necessary improvements and repairs the house needed to maximize its value. Julie has a very good understanding of the Beaverton area housing market which helped us develop a winning marketing strategy. She is very professional, knowledgeable and her friendly, warm style made her a delight to work with. She smoothly handled the additional complications of working with multiple family members during the sale. Bottom line, we were all very pleased with the entire process and the end results. We highly recommend Julie.

Jules was easy to work with- we bought a home for ourselves, so as the buyer’s agent and as the buyer- it was a pleasure to work with Julie! From the moment we met at the open house- we worked together on every detail! Jules was professional and so prompt and timely every step of the way! Thank you for a seamless transaction!

Julie was not only on top of every detail, but her demeanor and delivery was poised and professional. She was mindful of the seller’s challenging situation with a cross country move, while ensuring her buyer’s were well served. Julie is an asset to our profession and to her clients. Looking forward to another transaction in the future!

We just purchased our 6th house, this time from Julie. The sellers were very emotionally attached to the house and were offended when we proposed they pay for several improvements. The seller end up taking the house off the market. Julie kept following up on the status of the house. We really wanted it! She was able overcome many obstacles and presented a new offer to the seller. We got the house! THANKS JULIE!

I met Julie Spear through a friend of a friend and we hit it off immediately. Julie is smart, personable and knowledgeable and most of all once I explained what I was looking for she got it! We could step into the doorway of a condo and Julie would know right away a yes or a no for me. Born and raised in Portland Julie knows the city and best of all understands the Portland market: all the neighborhoods and nuances of living in each. Every day Julie was organized with a list of times and places to visit (with her trusty clipboard!). No time was wasted. Once I made my decision Julie was there to hold my hand through all aspects of the purchase process—paperwork, inspections, title company. The day the condo was mine Julie showed up to welcome me into my new home. I will absolutely refer and recommend Julie Spear to all my friends as well as anyone looking for a home in the Portland Area!

Best experience in buying a home. Julie was very much involved and making sure all the dots were lined up, in order to accomplish this life achievement. I would recommend her to anyone that’s in the market.

I worked with Julie Spear for over a month to find the perfect home. She was very professional and patient and offered honest feedback, knowing exactly what I was hoping to find. And we did find it! Julie brought me to a home that had just hit the market and together we completed an offer that I was very pleased with accompanied by a letter to the sellers explaining why their home was our first choice. We found out after the fact that the letter had been the deciding factor in the sellers’ decision! Julie really has great instincts and helped develop a transaction that left all of us feeling like we had won! I would (and do) recommend Julie to all of my friends and family.

I met Julie while she was conducting an open house, and we stopped by to see it. I was super impressed with her immediately. I had a question about the property which she didn’t know the answer to immediately, but she took my contact info, made some calls, and in about 30 minutes sent me an email and text with an answer. She demonstrated outstanding customer service skills. I had taken her card that day, and my wife and I decided that when the day came and we needed an agent, we would contact her. We did just that a few months later. We were serious and ready to buy and I called Julie. I was not disappointed at all. She was on it with the listings and was quick to take us to see properties. She answered my questions and took my calls, even at night. She guided us through the process, and was always reassuring. Buying and selling a house at the same time is crazy and stressful, and Julie was right there to see us through it. I really appreciated her. I would highly recommend Julie. She will truly go the extra mile to help you. Her rates are really fair and she is honest and true.

Julie very patiently worked with my husband and me for a year to find just the right property. She must have shown us dozens and dozens of places and if we ever felt hopeless, she never did. She helped us through the entire process of finding our forever home, from home tours to home inspections to financing. She was always readily available for us and we found her to be quite knowledgeable, attentive and supportive. Overall it was a great experience working with her.

Being a first time home buyer was intimidating at first. There are so many agents to choose from and it can be overwhelming to know who to choose. From personal experience, I know that reviews can really help to be a guide when you aren’t certain, so I truly hope my review of Julie Spear will help ease your anxiety by knowing that she comes highly recommended! Julie is the consummate agent. She has a fun, goofy personality, while also being a qualified, knowledgeable professional! She’s organized, prepared, and she works hard to make you feel comfortable through the entire process. She made sure I was taken care of from start to finish in my transaction, careful to explain things or seek answers if I had questions. She was never pushy, and she made it clear that finding what was best for me was her priority. If I wasn’t certain about a home, or if I needed an honest opinion, she provided that and it’s an invaluable quality to have in an agent. Her knowledge of the area and the real estate market was nop notch as well! Very impressive! When my offer was accepted for the home I fell in love with, we celebrated together! Her joy and enthusiasm matched my own and won’t be soon forgotten! If you are a first time home buyer or if you just need to find a new home, you will find a great fit with Julie. She will help you find whatever you are looking for, I have no doubt.

Julie Spear was an essential part of our home search. We were moving to Portland from California, and always had limited time windows to visit houses and neighborhoods. Julie always went above and beyond the call of duty to organize last minute showings, call seller’s agents, and discuss options. She was a great sounding board for our ideas on offer deadlines and pricing, talking us off the ledge during the ups and downs of our process. When it came to buying our house, Julie was prompt and professional in her dealings with the sellers, and during closing she was a huge help, given our remote status, coordinating access to the house for contractors. Most of all, Julie was just fun to spend time with. She understood the quirks of our family, and made the house hunting process a great experience.

Julie is someone who will walk with you until the end! She is honest, knowledgable and knows how to get things done! We could not have sold our house without Julie’s expertise. She is someone who does what she says she will do.
