About Julie:

A 3^rd generation Petaluman, I am the daughter of long time Petaluma business owners who loved going to open houses. So imagine my childhood excitement when one day in the mid-1970s that open house turned into my family’s new house in Westridge.

I had the privilege of going to Grant Elementary School (after transferring from the equally amazing Cherry Valley school), Petaluma Junior High and Petaluma High School.  I graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in business economics, and then began my real estate career managing a commercial high-rise office building in San Francisco on California Street, in the heart of the Financial District.

After meeting my husband and his job transferring us to Colorado, I continued to manage commercial properties in Denver.  We got married in Sonoma on one of the only dry, sunny days during an otherwise very rainy El Niño year, and later had two kids – a boy and a girl.  Loving Colorado and our neighbors but missing the proximity to family, we wanted our family to experience the same small town, close to family upbringing that I had growing up in Petaluma.  So, in 2003, we moved back to Petaluma!

Things I have done while raising my family tend to focus on my kids’ activities:  Waugh PTA member, Waugh School District’s WISE Foundation treasurer, coaching soccer, supporting my daughter in her dance competitions, cheering my kids on while they played their respective sports including lacrosse, basketball, football, soccer, baseball and softball, completing various home improvement projects, traveling, wine tasting with friends, spending time with family, camping, snow skiing, winning a vacation on the Live with Regis and Kelly morning talk show, and surviving cancer, two times!

I’m enthusiastic about getting back in the housing industry and working close to home, and selling real estate gives me the best of both worlds. With my solid work ethic, integrity and dedication, I look forward to becoming your real estate agent!
