Julie Durkee, Realtor - Albany, California

Julie helped us with an off-market purchase of a house we had rented for 12 years. We were very pleased with our experience. We started the process skeptical that our landlord would agree to sell after unsuccessful attempts in the past. Julie approached the challenge with a very positive attitude and laid out a plan to make an offer. She recognized that we were first time home buyers and guided us through the process each step of the way. We always felt that Julie was being honest with us and never felt pressured in the bidding process. She excels at timely communication and following through with promises. Julie is not only knowledgeable about the local real estate market, but also is very well-connected in terms of the various professionals required to sell and purchase a home. The negotiation process was an emotional experience for us. We were attempting to purchase a house that was already our home, that we already loved (warts and all) from a somewhat reluctant seller with whom we already had a relationship. Julie was empathetic, patient, and provided the appropriate amount of handholding. She listened to a lot of venting and provided a reality-check when needed.

Julie Durkee is the best realtor and a wonderful, thoughtful human being! She came highly recommended to us and we can understand why! She went above and beyond for us during the sale of our home. We were able to put our trust in her to prepare our home for sale while we were out of town. Her explanations of selling our home were clear and very professional. She made things very easy for us and we never felt pressured. She was so caring and concerned about trying to help us stay within our budget of how much we were able and willing to spend on the presale touch ups of our home and we were so happy with the outcome. She has become a true friend and we are so grateful. We highly recommend her!

Julie Durkee is the Realtor you were praying you could find just through a Google review. Congratulations, you are a research guru.

Julie Durkee is exceptional in all aspects of being the critical guidance and wisdom and experience as you work through a home buying or selling process.

For my family, Julie was our sales agent and she handled literally every aspect of getting our home situated in the market, fully staged for showing, and generated unbelievable top-of-the-Market online views & saves on Zillow, and in-person showings & successful Open Houses.

Our home was a small, 2BR 1Bath, but situated in such a wonderful area. The home I grew up in. With a strong understanding of the Comps around $1.33 to $1.37, we touched up the home with help from FreeModel and received multiple offers - ultimately landing on a dream price for my parents......Without stating numbers.....WELL above the comps. This was 100% because Julie Durkee knows how to widely broadcast your home, generate real interest, and put you as the seller in an advantageous position.

Julie treats you like family, she is family to us now, and will 100% be the agent you were hoping you might find.

Good luck!!

Julie Durkee, hands down, is one of the best, most thorough realtors in the Bay Area. I have many senior/older clients and if they talk about wanting to downsize and sell their home, I always refer them to Julie. Julie sits down and patiently outlines the whole process with them, and keeps things calm and easy in what can be a stressful and competitive market. She is so knowledgable about the market, about how to position a house, about what kind of offers to take and what to steer away from. Fantastic. To know Julie is to see what real service is all about.
