After listing our Co-op with another agent for six months, we hired Julie and within a month our Co-op was sold to a wonderful couple. Julie helped the buyers with their Co-op application, which eased the process. I highly recommend Julie as an all around agent. She is especially knowledgeable with the Bay Ridge area.
Julie provided excellent service. She's smart, patient, and tops in every way. She supervised renovations before we sold our unit and provided wonderful advise and assistance during the sales process. You couldn't do better than have Julie as your agent.
Agent for the people! Julie is not in it for herself like so many other agents are. No funny business and always attentive to what we needed. If there was a home we wanted to see, she had an appointment set day of. We are so blessed to have had Julie come into our lives. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable of everything and was very good about explaining steps of the home buying process. As someone who had no idea the home buying process in NYC she made our lives easy. Julie knows all the people to get you through the process too! Need an inspector? She’s got one. Need a lender? She’s got one! Need an attorney? She’s got one. This was by far the best home buying experience Anyone could imagine! I highly recommend Julie!
Julie Thum is an exceptional agent. My wife and I were first-time apartment buyers in Brooklyn. She is terrific with all aspects of the process—helping you find a well-managed, financially sound building, negotiating the price, helping with the co-op board application, explaining all the complexities of the process, and referring you to helpful professionals for inspections, insurance, painting, and moving. She always answers calls, texts, and emails. Even though I took a first-time home-buyer’s course before I met her, I found that she had so much to offer in her knowledge of different buildings and areas. She is also a wonderful, caring person who helps you in case things get a little crazy. I’m very happy that I worked with her.
Simply put, Julie did a fantastic job marketing and selling my property. I had listed with another agent originally and ended up wasting 6 months. Contacted Julie and she came in, gave us some excellent advice on how to prepare the home for sale. Because of this advice and her years of experience we had an offer for asking price from the first people she showed the house to. Julie is tireless, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable not to mention an absolute pleasure to work with. Whether selling your property or looking to buy, you can't ask for a better real estate agent. I highly recommend her.
Julie was amazing at helping my family sell our home. She was knowledgeable and professional in finding the best suitable buyers for our home. Our home was placed on the market and sold within two months. Throughout the process, she answered all our questions and has always been a phone call away. We were very lucky to have Julie as our home listing agent. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
Julie is aggressive for success. Because of the unique nature of our property, there was the potential for pitfalls; she aptly applied her knowledge of the landscape to market, price and drive the process. It produced results! We very much appreciated that her quick response was always a text away.
Julie is so much more than a broker. She's a stylist, comedian, therapist, and connector of all the things you will need (and more!) to close on your dream home. Julie managed to do the impossible. She coordinated the purchase of an apartment within a day of the sale of my home. But prior to that, she had honest, frank conversations with me about the possibilities and pitfalls in getting me there. She listened to my needs, and within one day brought me to a curated list of 5 apartments - all in my price range, neighborhood and taste. She saved the best for last, and declared "I think this is it!" before we arrived. She was right - so perhaps she can add psychic to the list too! She held my hand every step of the way, spending hours talking, texting, and even grabbing coffee as we walked through the process. Julie is professional, and experienced, and honest. She also was able to connect me with a network of professionals that made my closing seamless, and maybe even fun - during a highly stressful time in my life!
I'm a first time home buyer and was searching for an agent to guide me. I was about to make the mistake of putting in an offer for a home that had a few problems that were not initially apparent without a little further digging. Thankfully, I got in touch with Julie before that happened. After I connected with Julie, we went to see some houses that I had found. Unfortunately, none of them was a fit for me so I gave Julie my list of requirements and she went off to find some houses to show me. After a few more showings and some “confrontations” with less than professional seller's agents, we finally found a place. Julie helped me put in a good bid and we just closed last Friday. All the while through the entire process, Julie was extremely responsive to my calls, texts and emails usually answering immediately or within minutes even during the holidays. She's got over 30 years of experience and it shows with her great rapport with a lot of other agents and her large network of people that she's worked with, from brokers to inspectors to insurance agents. She's more than willing to make recommendations and share their contacts. I know who to go to if she's still in the business when the time comes to move on.
Julie is the best!!! She always goes above and beyond, a true asset. I have worked with her and her team numerous times over the last 7 years, always with amazing results. She is knowledgeable,honest and quick to call you to answer all of your questions. Julie knows the real estate market like the back of her hand. If you are buying or selling...CALL JULIE THUM!!!
Get ready to sell quickly. Julie is a woman with a plan. She came in... pointed out how best to stage... and went to work. Professional pictures.. professional mapping... made trips backs and forth to the management company for documents and made phone calls to help speed processes. If you want a true professional, there is no better choice. Thank you Julie
Julie assisted me in purchasing my very 1st co-op this month. I had no idea how much went into the process, the ups the downs, the in betweens but Julie was there with a helping hand and kind words through all of it! Not only is Julie extremely knowledgeable in her field, but she is also very honest which I found to be crucial throughout this process. Julie treated us like family, she cared about our success and our failures as if they were her own. Julie exceeded all of my expectations and granted us with a truly rewarding first time buyers experience. I will be sure to recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the future!
