I found Jule Thum to be everything one could hope for in a realtor and more. I have never gone through the process of selling a home on my own before and I also wasn't familiar with the real estate market in the area where my mother's house (which was the house up for sale) was located. From day one, Julie directed me and explained the overall process involved in selling a home. She explained how she would choose an asking price, what needed to be done to make the house most attractive to potential buyers and what the process would involve once buyers began making offers. Julie guided me through every step of the process, from placing the house up for sale through the closing process. I live in Texas so I wasn't able to do a variety of tasks such as letting people into the home to do repairs or to remove various items from the house that I wished to donate. She volunteered to help me with all of that and more. She gave me a list of people skilled in all sorts of areas which might require work in the house. It was a relief to have the phone numbers of people whom I could hire who Julie knew were honest and capable. This was especially important to me as I had no one who could recommend the variety of workers I needed. I have to say that this process would have been hell had I not had Jule to help (and always offer to help) along the way. She kept me informed every day new buyers came by and provided me with their feedback. She showed the house every day for the first week and by the end of that week, she already had a series of bids which was more than the asking price. She managed to get me a bid I never thought would be possible to secure. Who could ask for more? I would recommend her in a NY minute to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I only wish she worked here in TX as well.
