Hello, its Real Estate by Julia!

Posted on by Julia Robertson

Let me re-introduce myself.

Hello, I’m Julia! Real Estate Broker in Oregon, Washington and Utah.

Julia Robertson Realtor Oregon + Washington

I’ve lived in every state along the West coast and across the Rocky Mountains.

I relocated to Oregon the summer of 2006, where I immersed into the beautiful and weird city of Eugene. My business as a furniture sales rep drove me to every corner of Oregon and Southwest Washington. I found myself in Portland a few years later, where I lived in Happy Valley, Vancouver, Sellwood, and Milwaukie. Meanwhile I began selling Real Estate in late 2012; with my background in sales, marketing, and interior design, this was a natural fit!

Though I spend much of my time in the city, I love exploring the outskirts and eventually found myself specializing selling hobby farms along the Washougal River, Oregon City, and Clackamas. I spent many years renovating a 1930’s Tudor on a large property in Milwaukie, where I poured my heart into creating a beautiful home there. I touched every corner of this home, while managing projects and hiring contractors, I became a self taught project manager.

I’ve helped many clients and friends navigate home renovations, identify home improvements, and make design choices.

I spent the past few years exploring Northern Utah, expanding my design skillset and working with a luxury real estate brokerage in a ski town.

My career has been intertwined with real estate and the home furnishings industry. Listing homes and marketing interiors have become my passion for two decades. Helping people discover design opportunities and preparing a home to sell is what I love. I negotiate fierce and fair on behalf of my clients and pride myself in providing my clients the best experience buying or selling a home.

I’m excited to be back with Living Room Realty where I dedicated 6 years building and growing with our real estate community in Portland Metro and SW Washington.

If you’re looking to explore both sides of the river to buy, sell, invest, or rent– I can help. You’ll find me at our downtown Vancouver office or any of our Portland locations. Stay in touch with me on my instagram @realestatebyjulia, where I’ll be sharing all things real estate, food & fun, and hosting upcoming classes and events.

Cheers,

He wanted curb appeal!

Posted on by Living Room Realty

Moisés and his wife, Delia, were eager to move out of their investment property after starting their family and realized they needed more room for their two kids to have room to play. On Father’s Day we saw two homes; one that was new to the market and staged for multiple offers and the other was vacant with no staging and had been on the market for over a week after a buyer backed out with cold feet. After missing out on the staged-to-sell house, we wrote on the second house. The best part was we got in $10,000 under asking price, 100% financing, no appraisal gap and we did not waive any inspections. LP siding almost ended the deal but in the end we got the repair done and they are moving into the home that checked off needs and wants on both of their lists. He wanted curb appeal and plenty of parking for family gatherings and she wanted two living areas and a soaking tub. Bonus is they got the yard they wanted for their growing family!  I’m so happy to have such chill and savvy friends closer to my neck of the woods too. Win-win!  

Yes it can be done and I’m happy to help you too. If you are looking to buy in this market, let’s connect!

Buying in Beavercreek

Posted on by Julia Robertson

It doesn’t get happier than this! Paul, Emma, and Orla are ALL smiles. They just got keys to their new home in Beavercreek. We’ve been house hunting for a few months and written offers on 4 other homes closer to Portland, near Milwaukie. The market was very competitive and our over asking price offers with excellent terms just wasn’t enough up against all cash and waiving appraisals/inspections. You just cant give those things up sometimes! Inspecting your home is important. They decided to look a little further out into a great area of Oregon City- Beavercreek. This area is known for larger property, lower taxes, and beautiful countryside scenery. This couple not only got the home for the price they wanted, but we negotiated another price reduction and a large seller credit towards their closing costs! Score! Orla has a large backyard to garden with mom and a shared community green space to play on. Something you just can’t find closer in for under $400k. At closing, I gave Orla this fairy garden set for her new backyard. She is such a sweetheart! I’ll miss working with this couple- I have the best clients 🙂
