Is this Lake Tahoe? Nope, its Milwaukie!

By Julia Robertson, September 3, 2019

Is this Lake Tahoe? Nope, its Milwaukie! You’d be surprised how similar the feeling is driving up to this 1920’s A-frame bungalow in Oak Grove. As you’re driving down the street you catch a glimpse of the Willamette River and feel the crisp air, surrounded by mature evergreens. This craftsman style bungalow has a huge covered porch, carefully crafted rock chimney, and southwest facing deck for a day full of sun. The best part of this house is that the primary living area is on one level. One level living and a bay window seat for the kittens to sun bathe. The plan was to find land to build and she found house plans for a bungalow she loved- but sometimes the stars align and a home with all the right things comes into sight. Instead of starting from scratch, you can find good bones and make it your own. You can feel it when it’s the right move. She has a love for vintage homes and many ideas for this great house. I can’t wait to see it come together!

Congratulations Iris! It is THE BEST to see a friend so excited about finding the right home. I am grateful to have been part of this adventure with you. Enjoy your coffee on your very own covered porch:-) Cheers! #lovewhereyoulive

She/Her

During a two-plus decade career in real estate, Julia has approached her job with one overarching goal in mind: to help people get from where they are, to where they want to be. Julia moved to the Pacific Northwest 18 years ago and genuinely loves showing the city to clients who are considering whether to relocate. Julia constantly explores neighborhoods so that she can accurately match clients with a part of Portland Metro or Vancouver that is perfect them. She believes that everyone deserves the chance to own a home in an area or neighborhood that they love.

Since a real estate purchase is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, Julia works tirelessly with her clients to build a trusting relationship and help them find not just a house, but a home. She has experience working with a broad range of clients to fulfill their diverse and unique needs. Whether it be a downtown condo, home in the suburbs, or a property with acreage, Julia can help you come up with a plan that meets your timeline, your budget and your needs. If you’d like to meet for coffee or lunch to discuss potential real estate opportunities, Julia would love to hear from you.

From an early age, Julia loved everything related to homemaking. Her childhood spent moving from town to town and always having to be “the new kid” gave her the personal confidence to meet new people and boldly operate in the high stakes world of real estate. Julia has lived in every state across the West - Arizona, California, Utah, Montana, Oregon and Washington. In 2006, Julia rented a uhaul and drove to Eugene where she proceeded to fall in love with the beautiful state of Oregon. She spent six years as a marketing specialist for a global furniture company, until she settled down to start a family. Now with 12 years in her real estate career, Julia has honed in on Southeast Portland and Vancouver as an area specialist. She provides full service listings for sellers, including professional staging, professional photography, drone footage, social media marketing, and networking with agents across the United States. Julia is a licensed Realtor in Oregon, Washington, and Utah as a Seller Representative Specialist(SRS) and Earth Advantage-certified broker. She served on the Living Room Realty broker advisory board(2015-2017) and attended the Portland B corporation meetings.

When Julia represents a client in the sale or purchase of a home, Julia goes above and beyond to serve her clients. She considers the client’s budget, bottom line, area preferences, and future plans. While Julia doesn’t consider herself a “sales person,” she does have over twenty years of experience in the field of sales and knows how to conduct herself in negotiations and details. Your business is Julia’s top priority, and she always makes herself available.

Along with her husband, son and dog, Waffles, she and her family love traveling, taking trips to their favorite beach in Encinitas, California, and searching out new adventures—usually with an eye toward finding new and unique places to eat.
