Julie Chesne is an amazing realtor. We have used her to sell 2 homes, buy 3 homes and she helped with finding tenants for our rental property for over 10 years. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the buyer and seller market. She is very easy to work with and handled everything for our latest sale. This included coordinating with all vendors for the rehab work completed before it went to market, and she also coordinated the staging company. We were very happy with the sale price, and she made the whole process very easy. We would highly recommend Julie!!

Julie has intimate knowledge of the area and provided a timely and professional assessment of area comps which helped us choose the right selling price. She also seamlessly provided assistance in getting our home ready to sell. From junk haulers and painters to cleaning crews and stagers, Julie has many contacts that supported our process. We set a timeline and stuck to it, selling our home as quickly as possible and above our asking price. Honestly, we couldn't have done it without Julie's expertise, positive attitude, timely communication and professionalism.

Julie made our home buying experience so smooth. She was there to assist every step of the way, always replying to questions and concerns promptly. Julie and her team made every effort to get us the best deal possible in the current market conditions. Do not hesitate to call Julie for your next home sale or purchase, highly recommend!

Julie has it all! She has the experience, knowledge and professionalism that made my home sale go better than I could have ever expected. I was hesitant at first, but she sure knows her stuff! She saved me thousands of dollars that I would have spent needlessly. Selling a home is stressful, but Julie guided me step-by-step to make the process as easy and efficient as possible; from preparing my home, to choosing an offer, to negotiating a price, all the way through to the day of closing. I highly recommend her services without any hesitation. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Julie is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and terrific to work with. She will do what works best for her clients, and always puts them first. Her calm and courteous demeanor puts you at ease throughout the entire process, whether you are buying or selling property. We highly recommend you choose her and her team, they know exactly what they are doing and they do it well!

Julie was very hands on during my home buying experience and explained all the terms/needs to me as a first-time buyer. She was accommodating, communicative, and truly wanted me to find a place that felt like home. She has since followed up and checked on me a few weeks after the purchase to make sure I am settling in okay!

Looking for a home can be very challenging. Especially in today's market where supply is low (2022). However, Julie made this dream become a reality. From my experience, she is very professional when it comes to communicating to the opposite party and will do so in a timely manner. She will always check up on you for regular updates and to see if you have any questions. And above all else, she will make it her priority to ensure that you can see a desired property as soon as possible.

We actually bought the same property Julie represented us in selling and in both processes, she was amazing to work with. Not only was she great but the lenders, attorney, photographer, etc. that she recommended were all great people. Julie always checked in with us to make sure everything was okay and if we had any questions. Specific to our sale...Arti and I had to move to Austin, TX for work reasons so we needed to sell our home. We immediately hired Julie and she began marketing our home for sale. When our home was listed, it went onto the market on a Wednesday, there was an open house on Saturday and there were multiple offers on Sunday. The home sold on Tuesday...less than a week after being listed! Julie helped guide us but also allowed us to be strategic with our decisions as we felt we had a say just as much as she shared her experience when we collectively made decisions. If we ever bought property again in Chicago, we would hire Julie. Also, we plan to use Compass Real Estate in Austin, TX when we prepare to buy a home as Julie already connected us with another great contact from her network. We can't say again how easy and well executed our home selling (and buying prior to) process was and we want to use this opportunity of review to say thank you again.

Julie provides not only knowledge of the current real estate market, she also knows the best attorneys, inspectors and other professionals I needed from initial offer to closing. Julie not only offered a sympathetic ear during the weeks-long process of buying, she brought tulips to closing and a meal on my moving day.

I was buying an apartment in Chicago while living Florida. The whole process seemed complicated since I was not there. However, Julie was great, the whole process was super smooth and she was able to accommodate and address all of my concerns and requests. She was very professional, friendly and easy to communicate with, I could have not asked for a better experience.

I worked with Julie since 2014, when I bought my investment property condo. At that time she was extremely patient with me on visiting numerous condos and provide me very honest opinions on those condos pro/cons. I bought one and she was my agent for helping renting several times in last 8 years. I moved out Chicago since 2016, to California, and now I just moved to Texas. Julie has been contacting me all these years and keep my address updated. I got her family newsletter every month. Always good to know her life stories each month and make me feel she is really a friend of mine for years. Early this year, I decided to sell my condo. Of course I contacted Julie. She immediately took actions working on it, while I was in Texas. The entire process, I didn’t have to go to Chicago at all! Total worry free. She did have to schedule some handyman and electrician work but she managed got things done. She was also very good negotiator. She always wanted me to get more money, instead of selling it quickly. I am sure Julie and I will still keep in contact. And she is indeed my Chicago realtor for life.

I worked with Julie and JDC Realty from the purchase of my property in 2008 until its sale in March 2022. I couldn't be onsite, but Julie was a resource for anything I needed--getting new tenants, working with contractors, or preparing for the sale of my unit. She was knowledgeable and responsive, going above and beyond her role as my agent.
