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,

Julia Robertson, Realtor | Oregon, Washington, & Utah

Knocked it out of the ballpark for these Oregon City sellers!

Posted on by Nicole Chavira
Before the year wraps up, I have a couple memorable sales I want to share. This townhome was up against a few others just like it on the market. Here’s some stats on those comparables to help you understand.
  • Townhouse 1 has had a rough go with one sale fail and multiple price reductions. It is still sitting on the market after 135 days
  • Townhouse 2 has also dealt with a termination and a small price reduction. After 113 days on the market, it is now pending.
  • Townhouse 3 did a small price reduction and after 43 days on market, it sold.
  • Townhouse 4 was slightly superior with updates and having a desirable corner lot and an extra garage space. They went on the market right before us and was our biggest competition. It took them 58 days to go pending, which is their current status.
What’s all of this mean? It tells a little background of how I collect data to advise my sellers on what their home is worth, how to best price it (remember that list price and sales price are not always the same) and how to best prepare the home as a seller. I will drive by the homes or tour them, if available, so I can be confident when we come to the table and plan how to best showcase their home for sale.
Ready for our stats!?
We went pending in  days at our original listing price with no repairs! The average days on market that week for all home styles on the Oregon City area at that price point was 28 days. So we hit it out of the ballpark!
It was so joyous to be able to provide these results to my sellers who were ready to move on to the next chapter in their lives. Their trust in me from day one was more than appreciated! We were a true team.
Ask me more on how I market and sell homes with these results. Interest rates have dropped and the new year is around the corner holding eager home buyers ready to get moving! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to get the most for your property. Contact me for a free home evaluation today!

When the stars align.

Posted on by Living Room Realty

We looked at only one house… and then Catherine bought it!

The house came on the market at the end of September. She saw the listing, got excited, and called her lender to get pre-approved. But wow, the house went pending immediately.

But the seed had been planted. She loved the idea of owning a home on a good sized piece of land, and being closer to her job in Oregon City. She started having visions of getting chickens — and maybe even a goat.

The house went pending so fast that she never got in to see it. But she did get her loan pre-approval process started.

Fortunately, the stars aligned just right. The day after her lender completed her financing pre-approval, Catherine’s dream house came back on the market. We hustled out to see it within hours. It was competitive. The home received multiple offers again, but Catherine wrote a strong offer and hers was the winner. From there, we moved into the home inspection process and negotiated a brand new roof.

The house sits on almost half an acre with an expansive yard, a kitchen garden, potting shed, space for chickens, covered outdoor patio, and so much more. There’s a big kitchen with huge windows overlooking the back garden. The home has a fireplace and hardwood floors. Admittedly, those floors aren’t in great shape but Catherine has the vision to know they’ll be beautiful once she gets to that project.

Congratulations to Catherine — and good luck with the chickens!

Just Sold! White-Picket Wonders

Posted on by Living Room Realty

Congratulations to my clients Sam and Brie who just closed on a lovely Queen Anne-style cottage in Oregon City. Looking straight out of a gingerbread kit, this charming home has 2 beds and 1 bath with plenty of space in between. Sam and Brie are newly married after 7 years of dating and are looking forward to starting a life together here. They fell in love with the classic details of the home and intend to preserve it just as the previous owners have. It was the perfect place to allow them to commute into the city and come back to a relaxing and quiet home. Catch them sunbathing in their light-drenched living room with their cute pup, Stella, a French Bulldog. Best of luck to you guys, and thank you for trusting me to help you find your new home.

A Man With Vision

Posted on by Living Room Realty

When we met with Will he was a unique buyer who wasn’t looking for the home that everyone else was. He was a man with vision and was able to look past the imperfections that most buyers shy away from. After 3 months of sifting through properties that were either too far gone or were overpriced with sellers that were unwilling to negotiate, we found one that had a recent price reduction that Will knew he would be able to work with.

Once in contract the inspection revealed more than met the eye which did not scare Will and were able to negotiate a credit and his major concerns were addressed in the repairs. When the appraisal was done the appraiser called out even more repairs which the sellers were willing to work with us on.

The overall experience was one of team work from all parties involved. The fabulous Brandon Brown with Bentnail Contractors was able to do the repairs and be paid out of escrow in time for us to close. Today is key day and we are so excited for Will and his new beauty!

Congratulations Will! You are a man of vision and we salute you on this fine day.

Since moving in, they have been enjoying transforming the blank canvas of a landscape into lush fruitful gardens and enjoying discovering the Oregon City area. These two also recently got married – Congrats! We brought them a baby Japanese Snowbell with wedding bell shaped flowers tree to celebrate the occasion and help them add to their gorgeous garden project.
