Julie is not your average real estate specialist. With 30 years of experience, she's a seasoned professional who thrives on making her clients' dreams a reality.

Born and raised in a small ranching community in Southwestern Wyoming, Julie's values of community, loyalty, and family run deep.

Married to her high school sweetheart, Julie is a proud mother of three beautiful daughters and a doting grandmother to an adorably cute granddaughter. An animal lover at heart, she shares her island life with two dogs who are just as enamored with the ocean as the rest of her family. Julie's love for the ocean led her and her family to Hawaii, where they relocated to the Big Island in 2011. An avid scuba diver, she spends as much time as possible underwater, capturing the beauty of the underwater world through her photography. Her passion for photography extends to capturing the unique animals and landscapes of the ocean, always on the lookout for the biggest and smallest of creatures. Having navigated the complexities of relocation herself, Julie understands the challenges that come with moving, whether it's across an ocean or within the same town. She's adept at helping her clients through every step of the process, making the transition as smooth as possible. Julie loves meeting new people and takes great pleasure in helping them find their perfect place to call home.
