Julie's Business Philosophy
Julie and her team of professionals have a business philosophy and lifelong commitment "to provide clients with exemplary personalized service beyond their expectations." In return for Julie's dedication to service, her clients and their advocates refer a majority of her new business. Most Realtors spend 90% of their time chasing new business from the general public, working solely for the commission check. Instead, Julie is a consultant, giving her clients options concerning their real estate transactions and helping them realize their dreams, goals and visions. ....
Developing Clients for Life!
In Julie's words, "My goal is to make the real estate process- stress free- I want you to be so excited about the quality of service I offer, that you refer me to your friends, family and associates."
"I want you to be my clients for life!"

Thanks for helping me in my search for housing. I found you very easy to get along with, and your easy-goingness a big help in finding a home. Your resourcefulness in finding me a house when all I thought I could afford was a condo, still amazes me. You have the patience of a saint, the endurance of a marathon runner, and the tenacity of a trial lawyer.

My husband and I just bought our house, thanks to our realtor, Julie Cuellas. I can't say enough about how wonderful Julie is! We were complete newbies and weren't even sure we wanted/could afford a house in the Bay Area. Julie came highly recommended by a couple other friends (also first-time homebuyers).
At our first meeting, Julie sat us down and clearly explained the entire house-buying process, using small words I could understand. She gave us a book to review and even a homework assignment! It didn't surprise me to learn that she used to be a teacher. We told her that we weren't interested in buying a house right away - we wanted to learn about the process and see what was out there. She didn't hesitate to tell us that was no problem - she'd be happy to work with us for the next 2 years if that was what it took to help us find a home. I gotta tell you - most real estate agents wouldn't be willing to work 2 years to get a sale!
Every step of the way, Julie was accessible, approachable and patient. She took the time to explain things to us, took us to scores of properties, referred us to other service providers who also took good care of us, and held our hands through a number of offers, counter-offers, and lost offers. She also acted as a semi-counselor when my husband and I had a hard time agreeing on what we wanted in a house! Seriously, this woman is amazing.
So, nine months later, we find a house we like and our offer is accepted! However, we find thousands of dollars of fixes are necessary. We're reluctant to re-negotiate price since it's a short sale (changing the offer would entail putting in a new offer and possibly losing the house to someone else). So, Julie works her MAGIC and gets the selling agent and the 2 selling banks to agree to cover our closing costs. She works everything out with our mortgage broker, saving us THOUSANDS of dollars. It was amazing to see her work and we are so thankful to Julie for all her efforts!
When everything went through, I think Julie was as excited for us as we were. She's a smart agent and caring person. I highly recommend her for first time homebuyers or for anyone tired of getting yanked around agents who see you as dollars earned instead of a person.

JULIE CUELLAS = THE BEST!
If you're looking to buy or sell a home, you certainly want to search for a great agent. Trust me -- Your search is now over. Julie Cuellas is phenomenal. Call her immediately!
I recently decided to toy with the idea of buying my first home. I had no idea if I would be able to afford anything that I'd love, and I certainly didn't have the first clue about the complexities of buying a house. The idea of starting the search felt equally as overwhelming and stressful as it did exciting.
The first time I met with Julie, she thoroughly and respectfully, in simple terms!, explained the entire home-buying process to me. She was extremely well-versed in the ins and outs of everything, and I left her office feeling hopeful that I might really be able to find something . . .
And oh, how fabulous it was having Julie by my side! I quickly fell in love with a house and am now happily living in it. I won't bore people with the details of how everything played out, but it wasn't always easy. There were some complexities with our negotiations with the sellers and their agent and with getting some major work done prior to the close of escrow. It was admittedly stressful at times, but thanks to Julie, it all worked out. She was always available to explain things to me and to answer my questions. She and I talked and talked, emailed and emailed and hashed and rehashed so many details and possibilities. Julie was up front, honest and helpful. She encouraged me to think about all sorts of things I may not have thought of on my own, yet not once did I feel that she was pushing me to do anything.
Julie is an amazing professional. She has every quality you could ever want in an agent. Julie is cheerful, friendly and warm. Also, though, she's a serious go-getter and a major tough cookie when it comes to negotiating! She will go to bat for you day and night until you're happy with the outcome.
I can't say enough great things about Julie. I'm thrilled that I'm now an official homeowner and that all of the negotiations are behind me, but I truly miss my daily interactions with Julie!
I recommend Julie 1000%. Call her!

Julie Cuellas is a realtor extraordinaire!!
As a first time homebuyer heading into totally unfamiliar territory, I knew right away I was in good hands with Julie Cuellas. She is not only personable, but clearly very knowledgeable and familiar with the real estate market. At our first meeting -- which was also my crash course in home buying -- Julie took time to educate me and sent me home feeling not only informed, but also optimistic about my options.
Over the course of seven months - in a really tough market - Julie showed me many houses, wrote offers, counseled and encouraged me and ultimately helped me buy the perfect house.
I was already sold on Julie's skills and knowledge as a realtor, but it was through the final steps in the sale that I saw Julie's gifts shine. She really went to bat for me in handling complicated negotiations. She even got the seller to agree to a credit to help with expenses for repairs.
More kudos for Julie Cuellas...
My mortgage broker, who was working with Julie for the first time, raved about working with her and said Julie is "rock solid and really knows her stuff."
One of the contractors who is handling repairs on my new house told me, "I work with about 200 realtors, and Julie is one of the best. She is sweet, honest, and will really roll up her sleeves for you."
I am thrilled to have found Julie - she is the best!!
