Julia Monaghan

What do Clients Say?

When my wife and I decided to settle down in the picturesque West Linn, we were referred to Julia Monaghan by a friend, to help us with the search. We had decided to buy a new construction home. Julia is well informed, knows the market and the community; she turned out to be valuable and key to our home buying process. Julia came up with a few potential homes, arranged for the tours, and helped us narrow down to the home through a comparative cost analysis. Julia wrote up the offer and worked through multiple iterations of negotiation with the builder, until we were satisfied with the price and the features that were included in the sale agreement; throughout the home buying process she communicated on our behalf with the builder. What's commendable is that at no point in time did Julia rush us or push us into making a decision. She presented the facts objectively and let us come to the decision. And finally, when we decided on the home, she guided us with interior design choices and custom changes that we needed in the home. She was with us every step of the way till closing, up until we got the keys, including the home inspection and closure process. It's a blessing to have had Julia as our agent; without her we would not have bought and moved into such a beautiful home in a lovely community in West Linn. If you are looking to buy a home in the Portland metro area (new or existing), we highly recommend Julia :-)

My spouse and I have had wonderful experiences working with Julia. She's incredibly responsive and personable, clearly knows her markets, advocates for your interests effectively, and can moonlight as a marriage counselor. Not much more one could ask for when diving in to the madness of home buying. We'll be using her again when the time comes.

The process of buying and selling a home is overwhelming, but the journey can be easier when you have someone you trust representing you. When selecting our realtor, we immediately thought of Julia Monaghan, as I had prior professional experiences with her. I knew she was a great listener, detailed in her communication, knowledgeable and well versed in resources. Our experience with Julia could not have been smoother – from initial discussions of expectations for our new home, to the prep process needed for our own listing, Julia was there to guide the way. We were successful in finding a house that met all our criteria and navigating the multiple offers we received on our listing! After both sales, Julia has continued to be there as we settled in, offering resources (air conditioning, carpet, electrical – you name it, she has a trusted network). Thank you, Julia, for all that you did for our family. We are looking forward to a lifetime of memories in our new home!
