What people are saying about the Julie Franklin Team

  • "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!"

    — Luke and Marisol

  • "Julie was wonderful throughout our entire home search process. We were looking for a 2nd home while out of state and Julie took the time to find out our needs/wants and provided us with a number of options that best fit our budget. She was patient with us as it took us over a year to finally make a decision, but she never wavered from continuing to help in our search. I would highly recommend Julie and her team to anyone in search of a home."

When we found Julie, we found a gem!"

  • "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 very 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 weren’t 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."

    - Paul Twigg

  • "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 it’s 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 I’m just so happy with the purchase and I’m so happy with the team because they did a great job.!!!"

    - Tracy

  • "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."

    - Michael M

  • "Working with Julie was an absolute pleasure. My wife and I were very particular when choosing a realtor and Julie didn't disappoint. She was very 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."

  • "We recently moved from Pennsylvania to Bradenton, Florida and we used Julie Franklin from The Julie Franklin Team in Florida as our Realtor. We thought moving to a different state from many miles away would be so stressful but Julie Franklin made it so easy!! From the first time we met with Julie we knew we could have total faith in her helping us find our new home. She drove us around for hours since we weren’t familiar with the area to show us several new home communities in Bradenton. We told Julie what kind of home, community, and area we wanted to live in and she delivered all three to us. One of the many model homes she showed us is the home model we ended up buying and we couldn’t be happier. Julie is very knowledgeable, professional and gets the job done. We called/texted Julie countless times from Pennsylvania with questions and she always got back to us right away which we were so appreciative of. Julie even did the final walkthrough for us via FaceTime to save us another trip down to Florida which was such a huge help. To top it all off once we arrived to our new home after a long road trip from Pennsylvania we walked into our new home and sitting on our kitchen island was a generous housewarming gift from Julie and her one partner Kerri Yanes which brought a smile to our faces. If you are looking to buy/sell a home in the Bradenton area or in the surrounding counties we highly recommend you use Julie Franklin as your Realtor-you will be so glad you did!!"

  • "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. I’m 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 very 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 very 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."

  • "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."
