Julie made our home buying process smooth and significantly less stressful. She kept all our criteria in mind when selecting houses to show us. Walking through homes was a fun process since Julie lets you form your own opinions of the space and is honest about pros and cons. If you want a great and thorough realtor who doesn't play the pushy salesman game, then give Julie a call. We will definitely reach out to her when we purchase our next home! 2014

What a joy it was to work with Julie! I can't believe we are now living in our dream home, thanks to her outstanding relationship-building and negotiation skills that I believe sealed the deal. Even after our home purchase, she helped us find local services, and all of her recommendations were at the same high level that Julie operates - with impeccable integrity and 5-star service! 2023
Julie Franklin and her team have confirmed there ARE indeed honest, professional & thoughtful realtors. I recently had the pleasure of working with Julie, Carly and the team. Candidly, I set a high bar when I work with a realtor. I expect nothing less than a 5 Star level of integrity, preparedness, patience and knowledge. Julie & Co delivered beyond my expectations. Pleasant, responsive, diligent...I was impressed and pleased.
Julie was amazing to work with when finding out new home. She was there from the beginning when we werent even sure if we wanted to buy. Months later we reconnected and she showed us our dream home. She will negotiate and get as much as she can for you. We will always use Julie when buying or selling in this area. 2023
Julie and Jaz were amazing with me! I must have sent 1 million text messages and phone calls and they were always so kind and always willing to help whenever I had a question about something. They helped me out every step of the way as its been along time since I bought a house and I forgotten a lot of things.. I was really nervous about the whole process and they made it really stress, free and easy for me and in fact, the whole transaction went so smoothly and everything went without a hitch. I am currently in the process of moving in and Im just so happy with the purchase and Im so happy with the team because they did a great job.!!! 2023
I had the pleasure of meeting Julie several years ago when I first bought my house in Bradenton and had a great experience with her. So when it came time to sell my house, I knew I wanted to work with her and her team again. Julie and Carly, were great to work with again this time, not only helping to make sure the house was priced right for the area, but making the sale quickly and painlessly as I was working out of the area on business. I can't recommend Julie and her team highly enough. 2023
I hired Julie to sell my house in Bradenton. I had just added solar panels to the house, and they were financed, making the sale more difficult. Julie educated yourself on the panels and the contract, finding me a buyer and making the sale quick and smooth. I recommend Julie to anyone that is looking to sell or purchase a home 2023
I highly recommend Fine Properties for your realtor needs. I started looking for houses in December of 2021 and finally found the perfect home after 8 months of searching. Throughout my search, Julie was patient and resourceful. She got to know my preferences and sent me new listings as soon as they hit the market.
One thing that stood out to me about Julie was that she insisted I do not settle on a home. She did not try to rush me into buying and genuinely cared that I find a house I love. She had no complaints showing me houses every time a potential home hit the market.
Im a first time homebuyer, which would have been a nerve racking process had it not been for Julie. She walked me though the process in detail and informed me of every step along the way. I felt comfortable asking her questions and she was informative.
When it came time to put an offer in, Julie made sure we put a strong, fair offer in. In my particular case, she was able to negotiate a couple add ons. Julie truly goes the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied throughout the process.
Julie is communicative and easy to work with. She is friendly, professional, informed and makes the buying process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend using Julie as your realtor. She will exceed your expectations. 2022
Working with Julie was an absolute pleasure. My wife and I were particular when choosing a realtor and Julie didn't disappoint. She was knowledgeable in every aspect of the sale of our home. Made great recommendations, priced the home perfectly, had a great photographer, stayed on top of scheduling visits and providing feedback. She was super responsive with any questions or needs. I also appreciated the honesty in her answers. We sold quickly above asking. If you need a mover, inspector, electrician, whatever shes got a person for you. Thank you to Julie and the Fine Properties team. 2023
Selling our property with Julie was smooth and simple. She has a great network of resources to help get your property sold quickly including handymen, cleaners, etc. Her communication was collaborative, professional, and timely. We genuinely appreciated how she was focused on helping us make good decisions through the process and we never felt for her it was just about the sale. Highly recommend her as your listing agent. 2023
Julie initially helped my fianc find and then sell his first home. When it was time to get our first home together we knew who to call. She asked a few questions to get to know me and what we were looking for together. They she set up viewings of different homes based on what we were interested in. Throughout the entering buying process she was there to answer questions we had and ask questions we didn't even think about. She also made some negotiations and suggestions that really helped. Would recommend Julie (already have recommended her) to anyone I know looking to buy or sell their home. 2023
Julie is a low pressure sweetheart, but is not afraid to get aggressive when it comes down to negotiations! Julie treated us like family and welcomed our 3 little girls like family during our home search. She was patient, understanding, and supportive in our quest to find the right home Julie is a low pressure sweetheart, but is not afraid to get aggressive when it comes down to negotiations!

Julie is a great realtor and she is an amazing person to work with. She is knowledgeable about the entire home-buying process. As first-time home buyers, my wife and I had great support and a hassle-free home-buying experience. Julie was extremely responsive and knew all the right people to help us with our loan, inspection, insurance, and maintenance work. She was extremely patient and supportive during our home search as we were unsure of the kind of home we wanted and where we wanted to buy. She did a lot of research and homework to help us narrow down and find the right home. She is always willing to go the extra mile and ready to help even after closing. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. 2023
Julie is an amazing real estate agent. She helped us sell our home. It sold fast. She was always available to take our calls and answer any questions we had. I highly recommend her. 2022
Julie is literally a God send. After many many delays with our new build, Julie really did everything she could for us to move things along. We finally moved in end of June and she has since checked in on us multiple times to ensure we are happy in our home! She really had our best interest at heart and we were so appreciative of that as first time home buyers! Couldn't recommend her more and we will definitely use her in the future!! :) 2021
Julie helped us immensely in selling our property. She is knowledgeable, always professional and worked diligently for us, throughout the process. She handled everything and kept us updated on all facets of the sale. Would highly recommend Julie for any real estate transactions. 2021
We only had a few days to look for our vacation property, and Julie was able to find the perfect place for us! She listened to our wants, she knows the area, and she works hard to make a match. Because we completed the purchase from out of state, Julie was on site and took care of the details when we couldn't be present. All in all, she made things go smoothly for us.
Adam And Amanda Chenowith, a seller from Bradenton, FL
Julie is amazing! She met with us to help evaluate our house prior to listing to help us maximize our improvements and staging. She talked us though the process and helped with all my silly questions. Julie did a wonderful job helping us price our house for a first day on the market sale for more than we imagined. Couldnt have asked for a better experience!
Julie is the one you want, hands down. She is unfaltering in her attention to detail. She is ALWAYS positive and supportive. She truly puts your best interest, needs and wants above all else. During our intense buying process, Julie LITERALLY came down with a tough case of Covid. Our interaction with the seller was complicated and pressurized but Julie fought for us like she was feeling 110%. She never skipped a beat. She didn't miss a text or call and she made us feel like we were her top priority. It was INCREDIBLE to work with her. She is SUPERHUMAN and the BEST agent you could ask for.
Julie is awesome! She is everything you need when you are looking to buy your home! She makes you feel like you are her only customer in this high demand market and goes the extra mile to make sure you are 100% satisfied. She made the home buying process smooth and seamless! She puts the real in realtor!
Anthony And Becky Mottaz, a seller from Apollo Beach, FL
This women is the hardest working real estate against out there, we are so pleased with her and how much she did for us, going above and beyond!!! We will be using her for selling and buying as we move forward. Julie thank you so much for making this process so quick and easy !!!!!
Julie was such a joy to work with as we worked through the process of selling our home. Julie has excellent communication skills with extraordinary organizational and management skill sets. Julie was always cheerful, pleasantly upbeat with determination and persistence as we worked through the process together. Julie goes out of her way to understand her clients needs and takes ownership of her responsibilities with integrity and professionalism. Julie has an admirable work ethic along with an in depth understanding of the real estate market and trends. Julie kept us up to date on each step of the selling process. Julie did a great job marketing our home and has an extensive outreach to other realtors which is immeasurable when selling or buying a home. We highly recommend Julie for anyone who would like a great experience when they buy or sell a home. Julie is one of the best realtors you can find and we rate her as the highest. She will get the job done and is a breeze to work with. Thank you Julie!!!
Julie is always there every step of the way and is always ahead of the game! You feel like you are her only client even though you know that's not true. We had a long and difficult loan process with acquiring land and getting everything together for a custom build. When things weren't progressing like they needed to be Julie was on the ball as our advocate to light a fire under whoever needed it!!! Even though that process is over I know Julie will be right there every step of the build to celebrate with us!
We had a great experience with Julie after a friend recommended her. In fact we turned to her after we felt a different Realtor was reluctant to show us as wide a range of neighborhoods as we wanted. Julie was happy to work with us and kept working until we got an offer accepted. She was attentive throughout the process and educated us a lot as well. Definitely recommend her! 2021
Julie and her team made the process of selling my house and buying a new home painless! We had two closings hours apart and Julie made everything goes smoothly! Thanks again Julie Franklin!
Our experience with Julie has been wonderful! She helped us sell our first home and now we're working towards our forever home. She's extremely personable and professional. Knows her stuff when it comes to the market. And always strives for the best deal. Highly recommend! 2021

I can not say enough wonderful things about our realtor and dear friend Julie Franklin. I have seen her over the years develop into the fantastic realtor she is today, always dropping whatever it is shes doing (even barely breathing in the middle of a workout) to answer questions and help her clients and I knew we wouldnt go with anyone else but her. Being a friend and a realtor simultaneously cant be easy, but Julie made it seem like a walk in the park. She is extremely dedicated and was there at every second of every day answering all our questions and putting our minds at ease and trust me there were MANY questions we had during this whole process!! She was incredibly patient and efficient, always a step ahead of the game throughout the whole process and got us top dollar for the sale of our home. We encountered some bumps along the road, but Julie steered us clear and straight through to the finish line, where I know she will continue to be there guiding us as we begin building our dream home.
Talk about going the extra mile she ran a marathon in this one!
We couldnt have had a better experience working with Julie. She works hard to make the process smooth and easy for the seller. She helped us every step of the way and was always available for all the questions that go along with selling a home. Friendly, professional and works hard for her clients! Highly recommend!!! 2021
Julie was GREAT to work with! Moving from a different state proved to be a challenge at times but she helped navigate us through it all! From wacky questions, face time calls and dealing with our craziness in general, she was professional, informative, fun and got the job done! Super thanks! 2021
The sale of our home in October 2020 could not have gone smoother, plus we received top dollar. We attribute this to our Realator Julie Franklin. She prepared us for the sale, while doing her homework in pricing, how best to showcase the property and choosing many outlets to promote the home. Julie is personable, friendly, knowledgeable and above all professional. She knows the business and offers options. Julie is also extremely responsive. If we had any questions she was on it immediately. I would highly recommend Julie if you are looking to buy or sell your home 2020
I can't speak highly enough about Julie Franklin! She is an excellent buying and selling agent. Over the past two years we both built/purchased a home and sold that home utilizing Julie's expertise. In the spring of 2020 we decided it was time to sell the family home in Florida and move our elderly parents to Michigan, our full time residency. It was a difficult time to put a house on the market, but Julie was there to guide us every step of the way. After navigating the issues around the Pandemic, we re-listed the house in June and had it sold by July at $10k over asking. Julie did a phenomenal job negotiating, managing the showings, and communicating with us along the way! I highly recommend working with Julie Franklin! 2020
We highly recommend Julie Franklin! Her professionalism exceeds all others!! She went the extra mile to make sure the process of buying our new home was easy. She was great about keeping us informed and educated as we went through the process. We needed a quick closing and she was able to get it done for us!! 2020
Julie helped us negotiate a great price on a beautiful condo with a fantastic pond view. She immediately set up an appointment with an inspector. While we were with Julie and the inspector, we were sitting by the pool and discovered that there was more highway noise than we had heard during previous visits. When we expressed concern, Julie did not try to talk us into moving forward, she said she wanted us to be happy and agreed that the noise was an issue. She made the cancellation process extremely easy, and we got our deposit returned immediately. Julie then recommended another home that we loved and she negotiated another great price. When we noticed something that was not as advertised, Julie negotiated an additional price reduction. Julie has recommended electricians, painters, and carpenters, all of whom have been excellent. She has helped us create a beautiful custom home that we are extremely happy with. Julie is the best realtor with whom we have ever worked. 2020
Julie was terrific. She listed and sold our home in two days and at the same time she put us in our dream home. She is great to work with and always available to us. She has a great group of companies that helped us with everything from a loan all the way to closing. I highly recommend Julie. 2020
Not only does Julie give you reliable, honest advice, she is always there to answer questions quickly! I would recommend her to all my family and friends. She is one of a kind! 2020
Julie sold our home in Florida in 2018. My husband and I were truly impressed with her work ethic, professionalism, honesty and drive to achieve our realistic goal. She is a true go-getter , friendly and she will tell you how it is. She is not a listing collector , she lists something, she sells it! Look no further , Julie is the realtor who will get it done! 2018
Julie recently did another great job for me! I had worked with her several years ago when I moved to Sarasota and needed a new home. Because that experience went so well, I decided to work with her again when I needed to sell. I'm glad I did! I was worried that the pandemic would make it difficult to sell at this time, didn't like the idea of a lot of peoplein my home and was concerned that I wouldn't get a fair offer. Julie helped me evaluate the market to come up with the right listing price. She made all the arrangements needed for great photos and to get my home listed while I was out of town. Before I made it home she had a full price offer and we were under contract. Everything from there to closing went perfectly and she was always responsive to any questions that I had along the way. I'm no longer in Florida, but if I was, I would call Julie the next time I needed help with a home! 2020
Julie is seriously the best! She made sure our first home sale went smoothly from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Julie really goes above and beyond for her clients, and we will definitely be working with her again in the future! 2020
Julie is awesome to work with. Very personable, seems like she is always available. Julie is knowledgeable and works hard to ensure the buyer/seller is happy and has a full understanding of what is happening at all times. I would not work with another agent should I need a house or should I sell my house...Julie would be who I would call. 2020
Julie was amazing from the second we contacted her to list our home. She kept us informed of every little stage and/or question throughout the whole process. We felt as though we were her only clients. I highly recommend Julie Franklin for any of your real estate needs. 2020
With the official closing of our house I wanted to take a few moments to recognize our good friend and amazing realtor Julie Peck Franklin !!! To be honest we were hesitant to mix social with business but Julie was UNBELIEVABLE every single step of the way! Both my spouse and I travel for work so coordinating our schedule is not for the faint of heart but she was always one step ahead. If you are in the market for a realtor please consider the Julie Franklin Team - you will be happy you did! 2020
Julie is awesome! We were first time sellers, so we definitely needed guidance. From our first conversation to the final signatures, Julie was right there, working to find just the right buyer. She was readily available when we had questions, and reassuring when we found out our septic tank needed replacing. If you are looking for someone who goes the extra mile, call Julie! 2019
Julie was an amazing realtor. She worked with us around our crazy schedules, driving far and wide to find our perfect home. She helped us navigate the intimidating process that home buying can be. She was understanding of our feelings, quickly picked up on the type of house we were looking for and in the end I couldn't be happier. Our home is perfect for us. The closing and transaction went smoother than I have experienced in the past and she still checks in periodically on us. If you are looking for a realtor, look no further! 2018
Julie is an OUTSTANDING Sales Agent. Shes extremely personable and a true professional. My wife and I were relocating to the area from out of state, we found her to be extremely attentive regarding our requests for local real estate information and property availability. She would go above and beyond to identify quality inspectors during the pre-approval process. After the closing, Julie gladly shared her local knowledge of the area with recommendations for professional services. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for an executive home in the area. 2019

I highly recommend Julie. She was with me through the entire process and even after! Excellent realtor. She really does go the extra mile for you. 2019
We first placed on home with a realtor with high ratings and was told they had special skills to sell our home. This all was false and during the 6 months he had 5 real showings, some other never kept their appointment. We needed a new realtor but was gun shy till we meet Julie, she was down to earth and easier to talk to so we signed. The first month she gave us 8 showings, she kept our home on Social Media the whole time and with in a few months our home was sold, the whole process was smooth and Julie was so nice to work with, she does go the extra mile but the most important to me she will tell you the truth, good or bad. We would tell every one to see her.

Highly Satisfied in Sarasota , a seller from Bradenton, FL
Julie is phenomenal. She helped us purchase a piece of land and sold our current home in record time. Both transactions were seamless thanks to her proactive approach. Julie is knowledgeable, responsive, and highly motivated. We recommend her without reservation for all real estate needs. 2019
My wife and I were out of state buyers for a property in Bradenton, and Julie made the entire process so straightforward and easy. She always made herself available whenever we had one of our (many!) questions, and was a calm and quintessential professional when a hiccup occurred (as they inevitably do) in the buying process.
I cannot recommend Julie highly enough to anyone who is buying property in the Sarasota or Bradenton area. 2019
Ive known Julie for several years, and when we decided to sell our home I thought of her first. She knows the area well and is tuned in to current trends in marketing. With her placement of a Coming Soon sign, we accepted an offer before our house was even listed. All of her suggestions were helpful, and she relieved the stress that naturally occurs with selling a home. Julie responded quickly to all of our questions and was a pleasure to deal with! 2019
Cheyanne, Austin and Tatum , a buyer from Palmetto, FL
As a first time home buyer, I felt that Julie made the process so comfortable and easy. She was/is always available if we had any questions about the process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants an experienced realtor! 2019
We highly recommend Julie Franklin for all of your real estate needs. She helped us to sell our home and purchase a new home in less than two months. She definitely made the experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. Julie goes above and beyond for her clients! 2018
Julie is a professional and knowledgeable realtor. She gave me good advice on what to do for selling my property and was never pushy or demanding. she provided guidance through the whole selling process and was responsive when I have any questions. I had my house on the market with other realtors for over a year and the house was not sold. Julie was able to get and solid offer on my house and close on the property within a reasonable time. Thank you Julie for all your help.
Julie has hit the mark in all areas! I can talk all day about how great my experience was with Julie. She was understanding, knowledgeable, kind, responsive, and really made selling my first home a wonderful, quick, and easy experience! 2018
As a first time home buyer, I was nervous about the process. I knew what I wanted but wasn't sure I would find my forever home...and then I enlisted the assistance of Julie Franklin. She was incredibly effective and efficient in finding me my home and the entire process was completed in less than 2 months. She worked around my schedule and made the entire process flow seamlessly. I would highly recommend Julie Franklin to help you through the buying/selling process. There is not a single agent around that will work harder for you. She treats each client like family and will not stop until they are happy. You will not regret selecting Julie Franklin!!!! 2017
I highly recommend Julie Franklin to anyone looking for a professional realtor. n I contacted Julie while living out of state and she began working with me before my arrival in the area. She arranged for showings on homes that I was interested in and I quickly found a place that I loved. Unfortunately, that first home didn't make it through the inspection process. Julie took it in stride and was able to find me another home that I love even more. She did a great job negotiating a price and the other details of the contract and was responsive to all my questions and concerns. Julie is a professional, she's dependable and she is a pleasure to work with. When I'm ready to make my next move, Julie will be my first call. n Thank you Julie, I love my new home! 2017
I used Julie to purchase my second home. Having worked with plenty of real estate agents in the past, Julie stood out in the sense that she took time to understand exactly what you wanted in a home and in what location while also working with your price point. I have worked with realtors who in the past have treated buyers as a simple transaction to generate commission as fast as possible without worrying if the buyer will be happy with their purchase. Julie is the complete opposite, we worked together over the time period of almost a year before I found the home that truly matched all criteria I was personally looking for. I have since recommended her to multiple people in the market as well as a handful of first time home buyers. 2015
Julie is extremely familiar with the market area. She was able to direct my attention to the areas that had homes I could afford but would still met my criteria. Whenever I would find a new home I would like to look at, she would make time to meet me. 2016
