The good: Very responsive. Got sale done quickly and off-market, which was nice. Hired a few key vendors--cleaners, haulers, fire-alarm guy--who were crucial to the process. Reasonable commission. The meh: Willing to do some modest legwork, but not a big problem-solver. Stuff I had to fly out there for was stuff that a higher-touch agent could easily have handled. (In particular, getting the car moved was something that could've been handled by just getting a mobile mechanic out there to jump the car and drive it a couple of hundred feet. I had to fly out there with a jump kit, and move the car, myself. A couple of other things in that vein.) One thing that surprised me was that she didn't seem especially opposed to accepting the first lowball offer that came our way. We rejected that offer for a somewhat better one. Still, she didn't seem too passionate about getting us top dollar, and we sold a few thousand dollars less than the bottom end of the range she'd predicted. Was also surprised at the DIY nature of the closing process. In remote closings (which I've done in a number of states in different regions as both buyer and seller), realtor has always arranged for title company/notary (mobile or video). Here, the lawyer e-mailed me a bunch of PDFs for me to print, find myself a notary, and FedEx back. (To be completely fair, maybe this is customary in Jersey? I've never done business there.) When I had a question or two about the documents, Julia's response was that she wasn't a lawyer, so couldn't help with that. It was surprising to me that she couldn't offer any insights, given her deep experience with these sales. The first lawyer she set me up with was quite unpleasant and rude, but the next one she connected me with was fine and easy enough to work with. Generally got the impression that Fox Hills is a comfortable niche for her, and she's effective there, but don't expect her to go too far out of her way. Better suited to local than to remote sellers.

Julia showed us properties that matched our needs from the beginning. She was willing to work with us on scheduling appointments and even multiple visits to the same property. She kept us up to date on the closing process with reminders and check-ins about to-do items. She was friendly and helpful. She had good suggestions and helped us negotiate a sale price below the ask.

Julia was responsive to our questions and needs, reminding us what we needed to do, responding to phone calls quickly. Julia was very pleasant & knowledgeable about the market in NJ & our area of interest in particular. She was generous with her time & made herself available to see the property when we asked. I would highly recommend Julia.

My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Julia Torsiello while purchasing our home. We were moving from out of state and needed a realtor with great local market knowledge. She handled the transaction as a dual agent with professionalism, fairness, and a calm, steady approach. We actually ended up buying the first place she showed us. We appreciated that she never pressured us and kept everything moving smoothly by coordinating closely with the attorneys and our lender all the way through closing. We had total trust in her as a dual agent, and she did a great job keeping both sides aligned and the transaction on track. We truly appreciated her guidance and would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional real estate agent.

Julia was helpful and responsive throughout the entire sales process and I would highly recommend her.
