    • In 2014, we contacted Julia about purchasing property in St. Augustine. She went above and beyond to find us a house on the island, so naturally when we decided to sell 8 years later, we contacted Julia again. Our house sold in 4 days ! She is so organized and always on top of the whole real estate process. We highly recommend Julia and her team to anyone looking for a home in St. Johns county!!

    • Julia was outstanding! We are out of town buyers, and she communicated with us prior to our arrival, so that we were all on the same page the day we began house hunting. After our first phone meeting with Julia, we knew right away that we had the right realtor in our corner! She arranged our showings for existing homes and new builds in a logical order and did not waste our limited time. Julia was incredibly knowledgeable regarding real estate in her area, and also about the builders in the area. We were fortunate enough to purchase the model home, because of her relationships with multiple builder's representatives. Once we had a deal, Julia went above and beyond to be our eyes and ears with inspections and repairs. She was excellent at navigating the bumps along the way, and helping us to negotiate and close the deal in a timely manner. Julia was intuitive in keeping us calm and guiding us through the process when unexpected road blocks in the buying process would manifest. Throughout the process, other professionals that we encountered had nothing but great things to say about Julia's knowledge and professionalism. I would highly recommend Julia!

      - Sharon Ditata- Google
    • My wife and I put our complete trust in Julia (and Richard) to showcase and sell our turn-key condo and it couldnt have turned out better. She was always available to answer our questions and concerns and guided us effortlessly through the selling process. We felt very comfortable with her expertise and advice and now shes helping us buy a new home under construction. We would not hesitate to ask for her help in the future. Thanks Julia, youre the best.

      - Merrill Clair-Google

    • Julia was wonderful to work with on 2 recent real estate transactions (Buying a new home and selling our existing home). During the entire process, she was professional and responsive and was always there when we had questions or there were any issues to be resolved. With her help and guidance we were able to sell our home above asking price. We would recommend Julia to any of our friends who are considering buying or selling real estate.

Julia is very knowledgeable and cares about her clients. In this very difficult market she made sure our condo got the most exposure so people could view it easily. She kept us updated on everything that was going on and went above and beyond what we could have expected. We couldnt have dont it without her!

      - Michael Hennessey- Google
    • Julia Almstead is a very responsive and professional realtor. I listed my Peele St. home, in The Cypress Lakes Community with her. It sold the first day for more than I was asking! She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and has great contacts for any quick repairs your home may need to sell faster. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made sure the staging went smoothly. I highly recommend Julia to anyone listing or looking to buy a home in the St, Augustine or Palm Coast areas. She sold me my new home, too, in The Deerfield Meadows Community. What a pleasure to work with such a terrific person.

      - Elizabeth Roy- Google
    • Julia went above and beyond to help us find a house in this difficult market and times. We really appreciated her responsiveness, professionalism and diligence.

    • Julia Almstead is an exceptional realtor. She is extraordinary in knowing how to answer the unexpected questions. Her knowledge of construction helped so often with problems that arose during inspections. My house took so long to sell prior to her coming on board. She also was so responsive to my needs and went beyond the call of duty throughout the whole process. Her suggestions were always on point. I would recommend her without any hesitation. My experience with her was fantastic

    • Great Relator she goes the extra mile for her clients.

      - Harry Adair- Google
    • My friend and I started to look for a scenic house around St. Augustine 2 years ago. Julia was our initial showing agent. Since we were kind of picky for what we wanted, its been a long and bumpy house hunting journey, but thank God Julia helped us to get a dream home we both like. She stuck with us the entire time, until finally we landed our home on Amelia Island. She was so professional and knows her business and the St Augustine-Jacksonville FL area so well. Whats more, she was very patient and worked tirelessly, sometimes you would receive a dozen messages/updates from her. Even after we closed the deal, she was still very willing to help us to hire the best local contractors to do some renovation projects. She treated us like her own friends, thats how we fell when we work with her. Thank you very much for your wonderful work, Julia. If you are looking for a great Realtor from this area, reach out to Julia. Highly recommended.

    • Having been in the real estate development business for many years, I have come in contact with literally hundreds of real estate agents and brokers. Julia is simply the finest! Why? She goes above and beyond. She never shirks responsibility, and in fact takes on tasks which I never expected. So if you are picky, or have a complicated real estate transaction in mind, Julia will help get the deal done. For sellers she is relentless, constantly promoting and doing more research. Without a nanosecond of hesitation, I recommend Julia. She worked with me literally for three years on a purchase in northeast Florida. Up and down the coast we went to find my perfect "forever retirement home." We found it and I couldn't be happier. All those complicated little details? Forget it, Julia has you covered. Inspections, financing, handyman repairs? Julia's tool kit has all the parts to a successful transaction. You won't find any harder working, persevering, professional in the real estate business.

      - Robert Ploehn- Google
    • Julia is an outstanding Agent. She was always punctual, and quick to return my calls. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional. As a matter of fact I plan to use for future real estate purchases.

      - Mark Godsey- Google
    • she went above and beyond. Despite the time difference on the west coast, Julia was responsive from morning to evening, on the weekends, and any time I needed to reach out. She knows quality people who are very much like her in their responsiveness and attention to detail - lenders, insurance brokers, contractors, handymen, etc. She knows the north Florida market inside and out, and is obviously very experienced. My friends saw how responsive and on point she was, and they commented that they wished they had realtors as aggressive (on my behalf) as mine. As I was dragging all my stuff across the United States from Los Angeles, she was checking in and making certain that the travel was going well. She still hasn't stopped checking in. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to make a home purchase.

      - John Conely- Google
    • Julia is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She represents her clients well and is on top of all issues. She goes above and beyond expectations. My condo sold quickly and for exactly what I wanted. Great job!!!

      - Susan Dayton- Google
    • Julia is an amazing communicator, she kept us informed every step of the way. Not only was she professional she made us feel that we were heard and that she was determined to make this experience the best real estate experience we ever had. She succeeded in every way.

      - Erin Martin- Google
    • We worked with Julia as a buyers agent. Julia and her team were excellent to work with. They have extensive knowledge of the local real estate market and provided wonderful guidance through the purchase process. We felt that Julia often went above and beyond what is typically required of an agent. We would highly recommend working with Julia and her Keller Williams team for professional help with your next real estate transaction.

      - Jonathan Stormont- Google
    • My husband and I were very lucky to get Julia as our realtor. Even though we did a new build having her their was a life saver. There were so many things I wouldnt have known to ask for if she hadnt been there. She helped make every step of the process understandable and reassured us at every turn. We were not in the same city that our home was being built and she made sure to send weekly pics of the progress on our home and watched over the build as if it were her own. Couldnt have asked for a better experience.

    • My husband and I just bought a home in Saint Augustine and Julia was recommended to us as a realtor. We were very pleased with her and her staff. She has a warm and friendly personality, is knowledgeable about the area, very easy to deal with, and easy to reach by phone and email. She helped us negotiate with the sellers, navigate the paperwork and close in 30 days. Call her for all your real estate needs. Best decision we could have made!!

    • Ms Alstead is a consummate professional. In conducting the offer and sale of my condominium, she displayed a thorough knowledge of the real estate laws and rules governing the process and worked through a maze of difficulties, many of them orchestrated by an inept governing association. Throughout it all, she displayed marvelous patience and dedication to the work

      - William Adams- Realtor.com
    • Julia was FABULOUS. She worked tirelessly getting this non typical property sold.She went above and beyond. Recommend her for Realtor of the year.

      - Rachel Beckett- Realtor.com
    • Julia was invaluable to the sale of our home! She took into consideration all of the relative personal details about us, our situation, and the home itself to give us comprehensive advice and a game plan for selling our home. She involved us as needed and was SUPER communicative regarding each step of the process and answered any/all of our questions (no matter how dumb they were). And during our home sell preparations and for our home inspection items, Julia was able to recommend a licensed contractor to assist (who was awesome to work with). She also sold my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's home across the street. When their first buyer fell through, it was Julia's involvement from the beginning that helped protect them in a successful transaction. Julia is the realtor you want if you are selling your home in the St. Augustine area!

    • Long overdue review for our amazing realtor. We would recommend Julia 100% to anyone looking to buy or sell in St. Augustine! She is amazing to work with, extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kind. When my husband and I decided that we wanted to relocate from Pennsylvania to St. Augustine we reached out to 3 realtors via email with a list of questions. Julia responded promptly with answers to all of our questions and an offer to connect over the phone. We set a time the next evening and she spent over an hour discussing our needs and giving us an overview of the different neighborhoods in St. Augustine. She made herself available for the entire weekend that we were planning to be in town the next month to show us houses. When we got to town she spent the entire day showing us houses that we were interested in, from Nocatee to Shearwater, Durbin Crossing, WGV, and St. Augustine. She even took us to new developments to ask about model homes. She offered so much great advice but we never felt pressured and she never rushed us. It was such an amazing experiencing shopping for a home with Julias help! The next day we made an offer and flew back to Pennsylvania. Between the day our offer was accepted and our closing, Julia helped make the process so easy and stress free! She offered great recommendations for inspections, repairs, cleaning services and she helped us facilitate everything since we were so far away. We closed on our house 1 year ago and the process was so smooth and easy thanks to Julias hard work. Over the past year we have reached out to her multiple times when we need additional recommendations for service providers or even restaurants and entertainment in town, she is always willing to help us and our we are so grateful to have met her! We cannot wait until we are ready to buy our beach home because there is only one realtor we will use! Thank you Julia for everything!!!

    • Julia is a professional who is very knowledgeable about the Saint Augustine market. She was on point with what I told her my needs would be in purchasing my new home. After giving her my list of requirements; Julia sent me a series of available listings. I quickly narrowed my interests and we viewed them. I made my selection and the purchase and closing process went smoothly with Julia at my side every step of the way. She was easy to work with and I am very happy with my new home.

    • My husband and I are from New Jersey. We were looking for a retirement home in St. Augustine. Using the Internet I requested to be contacted by a real estate agent. Within less than five minutes Julia called me. We talked for over an hour about our needs. We were going to be in the Saint Augustine area for Christmas break. We only had one week to do our researching. Julia had compiled a list of several homes for us to preview. We met and thoroughly enjoyed our time with Julia. She was extremely intelligent and competent and that helped us find our dream home. We had a new home built in a DR Horton community. As we were living in New Jersey during this construction she oversaw the entire project. We were extremely fortunate to do business with her.

    • We were contacted by Julia via our Remaxx agent from another state. She knew we would be coming to Florida for only a week during the holiday season and she still went out of her way to help us. We talked about what we were looking for and our budget and she quickly gathered a list of properties for us to view. She was very flexible and fun to work with and if we ever sell and buy again we would definitely be calling Julia!

    • Julia Almstead was very knowledgable about the surrounding areas and is up to date on all of the constantly changing rules and regulations. Her knowledge kept the process smooth by putting out fires before they started. She was kept in the loop to where she was a one stop shop for all information making it very easy and stress free! Julia kept me sane and patient while excitedly waiting to get the keys to our first home. I would reccomend her for anyone looking for a home no mater how big or small and will use her again if I ever buy another home.

      - AdamBarkoskie- Zillow
    • Julia listed our house while it was still tenant occupied. The process of showing and selling a house with a tenant who was in the last month of their lease is not an easy task. Nonetheless, Julia managed to a successful conclusion with our getting a fair price for the property. Julia worked above and beyond expectations to insure a timely and successful closing. Both buyers and sellers were pleased with the outcome. My wife and I would recommend her to anyone considering selling property in the NE Florida, but particularly St Johns County markets. She is very good at what she does.

      - Tony Deakins- Zillow
    • I have worked with Julia many times and she is the consummate professional. Her knowledge of real estate is huge and will help you if you are a buyer or a seller. 5 Stars!

      - Adam Klayman- Zillow
    • Julia was extremely thorough in explaining the selling process and was willing and able to assist at any time. Julia is persistent to ensure that all parties stay on track.

      - Sid- Zillow
    • Julia is an excellent agent. She is eager to help you sell. She is honest, and keeps you up to date and informed about showings. She goes out of her way to make things happen, and creates a stress-free sale.

      - Karen Tice- Zillow
    • Julia was not only very professional, but did a job beyond what we asked of her. We would highly recommend her to anyone either buying or selling a home. If we decide to buy another home in this area, we would contact Julia.

    • ulia was wonderful helping me relocate to St. Augustine. She took time to point out things that I might enjoy and was always there for me. She responded quickly to my calls and emails and was always pleasant and helpful.

      - Nancy Main- Zillow
    • Julia was amazing. My relocation company put me in contact with an agent that was no help. Julia was a true professional. She primarily works with home buyers and sellers but really wanted to make sure that my daughter and I got into the right home, in the right school district and in a safe neighborhood. I am truly living in our dream home. I will likely rent for a year and then will work with Julia to become a home owner!!!

    • Julia was such a professional. She worked hard to find us the right house. During the closing process, she kept everything moving and was incredibly organized. I highly recommend her!

    • Julia is truly a professional. She was very knowledgeable and helped me with a number of issues on purchasing my first home. She kept me informed during the whole process. I would highly recommend contacting Julia if you are planning on buying a home

      - Sarita V.- Zillow
    • Julia is great. Her straight-forwardness, commitment-to-customer, and omnipresence were essential in earning not only my respect, but my business. Being accomplished in sales myself, I usually circumvent the traditional retail experience due to the general lack of confidence I've built towards today's retail workforce (granted, there are some exceptions!). However, Julia has earned my business on multiple occasions and I'll look to her first whenever it is time again.
