Julie was great to work with. She is extremely patient and knowledgeable about the area. She was always in contact with us to let us know about any properties that met the criteria we were looking for, and it was always easy to set up appointments to view houses or to meet with Julie to discuss anything that we needed to. We were never pressured to settle on something and we kept searching until we were 100%satisfied with the house. It was truly a pleasure working with Julie, and she would be our first choice if we had to do it all over again. Less

Julie was an absolute joy to work with. It was a tough year and a tough market at the time I put my condo on the market. But, she was very positive about my place's potential, and I am happy she stayed by my side all the way. Thank you very much, Julie!

Julie was on our side throughout our transaction to purchase our first home. We were very impressed with knowledge and professionalism. Here are some of the highlights: - Quick to respond and easy to reach throughout a variety of communication mediums. - Very detailed knowledge of homes in our price range (250-350k) in our area; and what a given house should be worth. - A good listener. - Great negotiator. Helped craft an offer that was beat out competing offers and also got more concessions from the seller during post-inspection negotiations. - Well-versed in the details of the transaction and a good guide for us. - Willing to come open the house repeatedly to allow contractors in to do estimates. - Took our interests and concerns to heart and made the overall process simpler and more pleasant. My wife and I highly recommend her! Less

Julie is absolutely fantastic at what she does. I had a house in mind I wanted to buy, looked over reviews on Zillow, and decided to go with Julie Held. She was very responsive in my request and stayed in touch with me closely every step of the way. From the very beginning she outlined the process needed for me to buy the house. At each step she reminded me of what I needed to do in order to avoid any problems. She is very friendly and knows the area well. She has great references and everyone she works with spoke very highly of her. She recommended several local businesses, banks, lawyers, etc that we were able to review and use throughout the process. We took every one of her recommendations without any hiccups or regrets. She was in contact with the mortgage lender and lawyer with updates that enabled everyone involved to remain on the same page. I recommend Julie Held without exception. She is the ultimate professional. She is nonjudgmental, understands how to relate to people, and makes you feel at home with the process of buying your home. Less

I am selling a single family home in Easthampton. Julie Held has helped me in many ways get this property ready for the market with her vast knowledge and great insight. I also purchased a property in Leeds with Julie's help. She went over and above to smooth out some minor and not so minor sticking points. Without Julie vast experience things could have turned into a time consuming expensive mess. Thank you Julie!

Julie helped me buy my first home in the area in 1996 and held my hand through what was a very complicated and difficult process due to septic issues and seller personalities. I had been looking with other agents for two years and had no success, and on the first time out with Julie, she completely understood what I was looking for and we found the house I've lived in and loved ever since. She listens, she gets it, and she will work very hard for you. I would use here again to sell my house or find me another. She is the real deal. Less

I have read the other reviews about Julie and they are more than accurate. Julie is respectful, patient, understanding, fun, positive, and realistic. She is very good at deducing the needs, expectations, and anxieties of her clients. I am sure you will find her very knowledgable, available, always willing to go the extra mile, professional and caring.

Julie and I are working to buy a 2 family home that is bank owned. She has gone all out to help with this difficult task. This will be the second prop I have purchased with her...wouldn't think of using any one else. She is kind, hard working and patient when need be. Thanks Julie, Virginia

Julie was very helpful to us as we moved to Florence from out of state. She was sending us listings before they came on the market, and was able to evaluate which would work for us as a family. We found her responsive, professional and charming.

Julie did an outstanding job in helping us sell our house in a challenging real estate market. From providing guidance on how to prepare the property for sale, to marketing the house on the internet, in local media and through an open house, she knew just what to do. Her extensive experience and local knowledge were real strengths. She was always accessible when we had questions and was excellent in communicating with us over the course of the showings, offers and closing. Her personality was very pleasant and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie to anyone selling a home in the Northampton area. Less

I've worked with Julie both buying and selling a house. She's patient, professional and has a wealth of inside knowledge about the market and neighborhoods. Moreover, Julie makes what can be a stressful process easy and often fun. I never felt pushed to accept something I didn't like about a property, as I had felt in my work with previous agents. Julie stayed positive as we moved on to the next property. And on the selling side, Julie handled everything smoothly and efficiently, from the open house for agents to the detail work of meeting the buyers requests for fixes and finding people to help up pack up and move. I wouldn't think of making a move ( property-wise) without her!!! Less

My husband and I relocated to Amherst two years ago with the help of Julie who was recommended by two close friends. We searched for the right home for two years and made offers on two properties which did not work out (not at all because of Julie) before finally purchasing our home. My husband and I wanted the perfect home in which to raise our young children, and Julie was incredibly patient and responsive over the course of two years, making appointments to see properties with hardly any notice and helping us negotiate the long, involved process with professionalism and a sense of humor, when necessary(!) We had a very good experience with her and appreciate the tenacity and patience she had with us to this day. Less

My wife and I used Julie in the spring of 2010, and had her help my mother in law in the winter of 2010, to buy our new homes in Easthampton. She is just amazing - personable, detail-oriented and always professional in her interactions. She never drops the ball, and goes above and beyond when finding out details we needed to know. She also recommended excellent local vendors to help us get settled after our purchase was complete. We'd recommend Julie without hesitation for both buying and selling. Less

I used Julie as a buyer's agent 15 years ago to help me find my first home. She made the whole process so much easier for me and I got the house I wanted at a good price in what was then a very competitve seller's market. More recently, I needed to sell my home in a buyers market, while at the same time looking for a condo. Once again, Julie was there! I can't recommend Julie highly enough. She's knowledgeable, thorough, professional and a delight to work with.

Our first home-buying experience (not Julie) was problematic -- important information about zoning and neighborhood concerns given to us by realtors turned out to be incomplete and incorrect. Julie, on the other hand, is well-informed, honest, savvy and well-organized. If she doesn't know something she will find out. She does not gloss over issues in order to push the sale. She is fun to look at houses with, and patient, too. I alway recommend her whenever I'm asked for a realtor referral, as does my husband (who does not suffer fools gladly!). Less

Julie is an incredible realtor! I would highly recommend her and have many, many times. She knows the area inside and out, is honest, dedicated and fun to work with. She really takes the time to get to know her clients which makes her very effective in finding homes that meet their needs. I think she is the best in the area!

Juile Held was my buyers agent. I had a USDA loan, which aren't always the easiest loans. There are a lot of hoops to jump threw and time constraints with this type of loan. Julie was a great help with everything!!! Everything from the problems that I had with the home inspector to the time extensions that I needed and she applied for for me. She was really a buyers advocate. MY BUYERS ADVOCATE!!! And she wasn't even from my area but I would use her again in a heart beat...
