She has the vision and the talent to make that vision into reality.

I still cannot believe how smoothly Julia and Amy made everything.

I am so grateful that Julia is my realtor. Julia is a true professional. She guided me through the selling process and it really was painless! I've known Julia for a long time and I know that she is the best. I trusted her judgments and suggestions and I am so glad I did! The service providers that she suggested were experts as well and always on time. I still cannot believe how smoothly Julia and Amy made everything. No doubt, I would have Julia guide me through the process again.

I would recommend Julia to any home buyer!

Julia assisted us with a very complicated purchase of our new home in Pleasanton. Julia's consistent communication, professional guidance, and knowledge of various processes allowed us to successfully complete this transaction. I would recommend Julia to any home buyer!

Julia and her entire team have treated us like family.

We've been working with Julia Murtagh for over 6 years now both as a buyer and a seller for multiple properties in Pleasanton, CA. Hands down Julia and her team are the most knowledgeable when it comes to the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley markets. She knows the intimate details of a property through past knowledge and a lifetime of relationships she has built in this market. Julia and her entire team have treated us like family. They are extremely considerate in working to understand your long term goals and how that matches up with the dream home or investment property you are looking for. They have always been extremely communicative, available and professional in working with us. I would recommend Julia to my family and closest friends!

She found me a home that couldn’t have been more perfect for me.

She went above and beyond. I had a hard limit to how much I could spend, and she never even suggested that I exceed it. She found me a home that couldn’t have been more perfect for me. Literally (and I mean literally) I was all signed and closed five weeks from when I started looking. Now, even she agreed that it was really fast, so please don’t expect miracles, but I think my experiences shows just how much she wants to get you into a good home. She knows the area and knows the business, and I could not have put myself in better hands.

Needed someone to guide us based on the local landscape.

We were new to Pleasanton and needed someone to guide us based on the local landscape. We were very happy that we found Julia. She is friendly, knowledgeable, has a great team and is entrenched in the local area. She is direct and to the point and gives you candid feedback if she thinks something would work for you or not. We were saved from making some imprudent decisions thanks to that. Also, she made an effort to get to know us, our family and our specific needs so she could show us houses accordingly. Her relationship with other local realtors and inspection agencies also proved to be of great value. Overall, we were very happy to have worked with Julia and would be happy to work with her again in the future.

Her patience and diligence found our family the dream home!

BY FAR, the two most professional, efficient, financially beneficial and enjoyable real estate transactions I have ever experienced came through working with Julia Murtagh. Her patience and diligence found our family the dream home that was beyond our hopes. Her prudence and shrewd negotiations made it affordable. Her market knowledge, marketing footprint and expansive network sold our home at our asking price with offer in hand in 6 days in a "soft" market. Avoiding the cliché bombs that are often used in describing real estate professionals, it is most simply said that if you value your money, your time, a low level of stress and a desired outcome, you need to get the Power of the Purple in your life. Work with Julia Murtagh for all your real estate needs!

Communicated with us promptly during a busy personal time for her.

We interviewed 3 different local realtors that we did not know. Due to living in the area for 22 years we knew many realtors. We were in a sellers market with Birdland homes moving very quickly. Because of this we felt we needed to negotiate the commission and preferred to do it with a non-acquaintance.

We interviewed a neighborhood specialist, a neighbor's agent from outside the area and Julia. We chose Julia because she was direct and straightforward which made her easy to work with. We also preferred using an agent with many contacts but just one assistant so we weren't constantly meeting with various people.

We moved very fast with our listing and Julia communicated with us promptly during a busy personal time for her. We sold before going on the MLS with a preemptive offer. We used Julia's wonderful contacts for tree trimming, inspections, and ultimately for movers. . She respected our desire to self-stage.

She definitely knows what she is doing, knows Pleasanton, is professional and gets the job done.
