Thanks to Julie Billett we sold our Bridle Trails home in Bellevue in 1 day for our asking price. Julie and Kelly were skilled in transforming our home with inexpensive but important changes that helped it sell, from recommending new paint colors to creatively staging each room in an appealing way. In addition, they are both extremely easy to work with and made us confident that our home was represented with a professional and friendly approach.

We would highly recommend her...

"Julie recently brokered a very complicated transaction on behalf of our company.  The property we sold was very unique with several challenges (and a few opportunities) and Julie helped navigate the sales process with real professionalism.  We really appreciated her can-do attitude, integrity and willingness to go the extra mile.  We would highly recommend her.

It has been such a fine experience...

Julie and Kelly, her assistant, are absolute miracle workers!  Coming from a bucolic area of Arizona, my husband and I found house-hunting in the Northwest really daunting.  Julie was enthusiastic about helping us find and decide on our final choice.  Her car was always at the ready and took us to many communities while Julie also informed us of advantages and disadvantages of each area and each home.  Our search began in May of 2007 and didn’t end until October!  Julie and Kelly were a marvelous team, paper work was done expeditiously, and in May of 2008, we will complete our move to Bothell.  It has been such a fine experience having two such experienced and knowledgeable agents guide us through this process.  We appreciate their diligence and, last but not least, their never-failing sense of humor, which kept us laughing through the rough spots!

My experience with Julie has been wonderful...

"Moving can be an emotionally daunting task.  My experience with Julie has been wonderful.  She and Kelly, her assistant, went out of their way to help me get top dollar for my home in a very difficult market.  Her attention to detail is remarkable.  From staging for regular showings to making my home a cozy and inviting space at Open Houses, she truly went the extra mile.  Most agents take a listing and hope for the best.  Julie truly had my best interest at heart.  She is an agent that is honest and has integrity.  Living and working in a small community can be difficult in a very competitive market.  Julie can most definitely represent anyone and have the confidence that she is respected as an agent for Windermere.  I would recommend her to anyone who asks, "Do you know of a good agent?"  I will definitely use her again in the future if I ever need to buy or sell a home."

Julie and Kelly take a genuine interest ...

"We highly recommend the services of the realty team of Julie Billett and Kelly Goodwin. These dedicated professionals offered us continuing personalized assistance in helping us purchase our Woodinville home. In this competitive market, quality representation is an integral aspect of both the buying and selling experience.  Julie and Kelly take a genuine interest in seeing that the personal housing goals of their clients are met."

Julie and her partner, Kelly Goodwin, are an excellent team!

Recently, my husband and I made the difficult decision to relocate from our home in Columbus, Ohio to the greater Seattle area.  Because we are both busy parents and professionals, we needed a high level of service in our relocation.  After reading Julie Billett’s profile, I knew she would be the right agent. 

Julie and her partner, Kelly Goodwin, are an excellent team.  For our transaction, we worked directly with Julie while Kelly worked tirelessly from the office; finding listings, guiding our search, and providing all the information we needed.  Julie spent a great deal of time listening to our needs, asking about our children, our lifestyles, and our tastes.  Julie guided our decision not only in looking for specific houses but for finding towns and neighborhoods where she could envision our family being happy.

Together, we looked at dozens of homes, discussed multiple possibilities and both Julie and Kelly patiently guided me through the process.  Not only are Julie and Kelly native to Washington, but they have families here, they follow the market closely, and they love what they do.  Their honesty, patience, and kindness together with their high level of service make them a unique team in the world of real estate.  I recommend them whole heartedly and hope you will choose them to help with whatever your real estate needs may be.

Sincerely,
M. Sharpe, DVM,  M. Sharpe, MD

I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Kelly Goodwin and Julie Billett...

I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Kelly Goodwin and Julie Billett over the past 5 months to purchase a home.  It took awhile to find one for me to buy, in part because there was so little on the market at the time.  But it was also due to the fact that I wasn't exactly sure of where I wanted to buy a home.  Kelly and Julie talked with me at length to determine the areas I wanted to consider and my priorities. Then they oriented me (as I was not familiar with this part of the state) through viewing houses in those areas, and also by taking me on "tours" so that I would know where the things that were important to me-e.g. library, schools, etc.-were located.
 
Once I decided where I wanted to buy, they really went to work.  I had chosen a very finite area, and the type of house that I wanted seemed to be purchased on the day it was listed (or before).  They went above and beyond "the call of duty" to assist me in locating a home that would meet my criteria.  They were in contact with me daily to tell me about any new listings.  They canvassed the neighborhoods that I was looking at to talk to homeowners about any possible listings that "might be coming up".  They checked houses out before I came to see them, in order to "sort out" those that might not be "worth" me driving here to see.  And, when I was not able to find a house by the time I needed to be out of the home I had sold, they helped me to find a rental.  I am now in the type of house that I wanted and in the neighborhood I wanted.  I am thrilled!
 
These realtors listened to me, were on top of the market, knowledgeable about the area and potential buyers, helpful, easy to work with, answered all my questions, and "held my hand" when needed.  I was excited to hear that they wanted a reference, as I would recommend them to buyers and sellers. I have worked with other realtors in the past, but none have even come close to comparing to the work these realtors did.  You will be so happy with their work that it will be hard to work with any other agent in the future!
  
Good luck!

Julie and Kelly sold it for us in two days with 3 offers!

Our home had previously been on the market for three months without a single offer.  Julie and Kelly sold it for us in two days with three competing offers!  They were tremendously friendly, very professional, easy to work with and eager to please.  I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling in the Woodinville area.

Jen & Tyler

You did such a fantastic job staging our home we almost didn't want to sell it!

Professional, Honest, & Detailed:

Julie was the selling agent for the home we found and fell in love with.

We needed to sell our home in a very tough market.

We knew we had to have someone that we could trust and our first choice was Julie Billett.  I have known Julie since I was a teenager and know her to be honest and have an exceptional work ethic.  We tried to sell our home by owner, which was a big mistake.  Julie sold our house within 2 weeks, to someone who had seen the amazing flyer and pictures of our home. Her marketing & staging skills made all the difference.  We would recommend Julie because she is fair, fun to work with and provides wonderful service.

Cook Testimonial

Julie,

Thank you again so much for everything.  I know that your excellent staging and the wonderful pictures were the main reason that so many people wanted to look at the house and why it sold so quickly.  I so appreciate all of your work while we were getting through the septic and house inspection issues.  It was really hard being all the way out here, and it helped so much having you there to take care of things.

Battle Testimonial

Julie was highly professional and diligent.  She did a great job of arranging high quality pictures of the house for the internet.  She also did a fantastic job of staging the house. In fact, when my wife sees a well staged house on the internet she refers to it as a Julie Billett house.

Testimonial from Davis, Lee and Tim

 Julie recently listed our home and we could not be happier with her as our listing agent.  She put so much time and effort into helping us get our house market ready.  She was proactive and made a number of good suggestions of how to best stage the house.  While being very professional, she was also warm and sensitive to the fact that listing a home that we have so many memories in was difficult for us.  We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wonderful real estate agent. Julie has our contact details and we would be glad to speak to any of her prospective clients that would like more information on our experience.

Julie sold the Clark home in 4 days with a full price offer.

Witt Testimonial

Julie and Kelly really showcased their skills in selling our home in such a tough market. From the beginning, they were on top of every detail of the process: professional staging & photography, a strong online presence and broker & public open houses. They followed up immediately with each agent preview and client showing and kept us apprised of agent feedback along the way. They provided sound advice at every turn that proved to be right on target.

And not only are they the top of the line professionally, as a bonus they are also delightful to work with. We recommend them without any hesitation.   Dave

Ruddy Testimonial

I worked with Julie Billett over several months and was quite pleased with her professional and friendly approach that resulted in a high level of service and a very satisfied client. Julie is extremely knowledgeable about the market she covers. She provided excellent advice, is a good negotiator and successfully pulled together a challenging deal. I would definitely seek her expertise again and highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

Best.

Our Home Sold in 4 Days!

Julie and Kelly have our most sincere gratitude in helping us get our house sold in four days at 99% asking price during such a down market. Without their feedback in preparing our home for sale, their recommendations on inexpensive service contractors, and then their outstanding staging and photographs, I'm sure our home would still be on the market.

The process was simple. We met with them to discuss our goals and then took their advice on low-cost upgrades and staging to make the house attractive to buyers. We had watched so many houses sit on the market for months that we were concerned before working with Julie and Kelly that our move date would be in the distant future. When it sold so quickly at essentially our asking price, we were overjoyed. I have no doubt that the difference between a quick sale (at full price) and a long drawn out sales process was a direct result of the expertise and skill Julie and Kelly put into our sale.

The staging and photographs were crucial. Julie and Kelly simply came in, brought some nice pieces of furniture used in selling homes, and then made decorative adjustments in line with their vision. We were shocked at how great the house looked when it showed up on the Windermere website a few hours later! You could tell that our house really stood out compared to others and it clearly made a difference in how quickly it sold and the final price.

This isn't the first time we have had to buy a house and the experience with Julie and Kelly was flawless. They helped us understand the process, set solid expectations, made sure we made sound decisions, and guided us with expert advice on pricing and staging. Simply put, we would not have gotten our asking price in under a week without them.
