    Julie was our lifesaver! After things went awry with a previous Agent and our house sitting on the market for a month, she was exactly what we needed. Within a week, our house was under contract and the rest of the process went pretty smoothly! She knows exactly what she is doing and also knows how to get things done and taken care of. If we ever move back to the area, we’ll definitely be using her again! Highly recommend Julie.

    Julie Ballard, with Nest Realty, represented the seller when I purchased my home. The listing, put together by Julie and the seller, inaccurately stated the property was public water AND sewer. Not once, but multiple times - including free texted into a paragraph. I did have a home inspection performed, which does not typically include any potential septic system, as that inspection is performed separately. While signing closing documents, specifically addendums (termite, etc.) I did ask again as a septic inspection would be one of those riders. Ultimately, closing was done, I moved in and shortly after spent a few weeks of blood, sweat, tears and money trying to figure out why it seemed like my home had plummeted into the sulfur pits of hell. SURPRISE, I have a septic tank! One which hasn’t been addressed or “known about” for years - supposedly. As soon as the true problem was uncovered, I immediately contacted my realtor who contacted Julie. Ultimately, over the last many months I have been given a lot of excuses and no resolution. All of my paperwork is incorrect due to this mistake. I’m out unexpected money because of this mistake. Yes, Virginia is a “buyer beware” state but as a first-time homebuyer I trusted realtors. I know so much better now and for the future. Regardless of what law or policy Nest wants to throw out in order to say they are not responsible the FACTS are that the original mistake is theirs. They listed incorrect information. I had to have the front of my carport dug up and destroy a flower bed and small patio.

    Our experience with Julie was immensely positive. Julie is knowledgeable, very well connected to the area, and goes above and beyond for all of her clients. It’s evident that she enjoys her work and truly desires all of her clients to be satisfied. She made our home buying process much less stressful. We highly recommend her and would certainly call upon her expertise again.

    Julie was a great ally in our home buying and selling process. Not only does she have an intimate knowledge of the neighborhoods and areas around Central Virginia, she has a deep network of collegaues and professionals in her contact list. Any issue that popped up (as they tend to do) Julie had someone there to resolve it immediately. She made the whole process smooth, and helped us find the perfect home for our growing family.

    During this process of searching for a new home, my husband and I found Julie to be very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. She spent a lot of time talking to us in regards to our needs as it related to buying a new home. She took us to look at several houses and we talked about pros and cons as they related to each one. She kept us up to date with listings of houses through email which was very helpful. She was always pleasant when we would meet or talk on the phone and she appeared to be genuinely concerned about our needs and wanting to help us find the right home! She was always encouraging by letting us know that the right home was “out there” for us and thanks be to God she was right! We have a beautiful home that we moved into two weeks ago and we couldn’t be happier!!! Thank you, Julie for everything you did to make our dream home a reality????????????????????????

    Julie was fabulous. She really listened to what I wanted, location, price range, mortgage, ect... She was super professional yet personable. I would use Julie on my next home purchase in a heart beat. She has a wealth of market knowledge, local contractors, just about any support or help you may need to close the deal. Super nice, super knowledgeable. Julie will be with you through closing!

    Julie was a fantastic real estate agent- she made my home selling process smooth and easy! She coordinated all appointments to lessen the burden on me and advised me with negotiating different offers. She even showed up to my closing to ensure I wasn’t there alone.

    Julie was absolutely wonderful to work with in the home buying process. She went above and beyond in many more ways than one! I’m so happy to say we are now homeowners and we couldn’t have done it without her! We will most definitely being using her again in the future!

    I picked Julie, not only because we went to High School together, but because a mutual friend, under difficult circumstances, gave her glowing reviews in the sale of his parent's house as well.My experience was similar. It was a tough situation and Julie performed excellently to ensure the house sold at an outstanding price and navigated me around all of the possible pitfalls that could occur.She was invaluable and I'd do it all over again.
