When my husband and I started thinking about relocating from Brooklyn, NY to the Pioneer Valley, we decided to make an exploratory mission to Northampton. We wanted to spend a day with a local realtor there to get a sense of the area and what kind of properties might be available in our price range. We spoke to a couple realtors by phone and decided to go with Julie Starr over the others based on her personality (very easy to talk to- I felt like she "got it") and her expertise with our [...]

We chose Julie as our realtor in part because of her experience with people moving to the area from larger cities, as we were. She's a great communicator, gives her honest opinion when something seems iffy, and knows so many local resources. With her help we found a great home, and she helped point us toward some great summer camps for our daughter as we settled in. If you're looking for a place in the Pioneer Valley, I highly recommend her!

We have had multiple great experiences with Julie Starr. First, with a house that had problems upon inspection that ended up not being the right fit for us. Ultimately, she helped us buy a house we absolutely love, and was always there to answer our questions and guide us through the process. We also recommended Julie to our family when they moved to the area, and she recently helped them purchase their first home. There simply aren't enough stars for us to give — Julie goes above and [...]

Julie helped us buy our first house and sell it 5 years later at a huge profit! She was always incredibly communicative with us (never made us wait for a response), gave us a great rate, and helped us understand every part of the process. We felt really supported by Julie!

Working with Julie was a pleasure. She is friendly, down-to-earth, and incredibly responsive. We relocated to the Pioneer Valley and she made the process as smooth as possible for us. She is a longtime realtor who lives locally, and it shows. She had a number of helpful, "insider" recommendations when we were viewing listings, negotiating, closing, and getting settled in our new home.
Houzze, Northampton MA
Julie was great to work with during the search for our first home, helping us find properties that matched our budget and criteria, and supporting us in submitting the offer and through the closing. We were looking for and ultimately found the perfect fixer-upper, and she helped us get it at a great price. We recommended her to many friends over the years, all of whom had great experiences thanks to Julie’s expertise. We also went back to Julie when we decided to sell our home to move closer to [...]
Justin Kemp and Rachel Rogol, Northampton MA
Julie Starr was instrumental in both the sale of our home and the subsequent purchase of our next home. She was responsive and took the time we needed--I never felt rushed or alone in the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie Starr!
Rachel and Noah Epstein, Northampton MA
I can't recommend Julie highly enough. We were new to the valley, and Julie gave us such excellent guidance. With her help, we found the perfect place (town, neighborhood, house) for our family. We absolutely love our home, and would not be here without her.
Miriam and Andy, Florence MA
We listed our home with Julie and couldn't have asked for more. From advising us on how to get the house ready for sale to helping us negotiate the final price, Julie was with us every step of the way. She knows her stuff and is also a total pleasure to spend time with. When the time comes to buy another house or sell ours, our first call will be to Julie.
Alden Bourne, Northampton MA
Julie did a wonderful job from start to finish. We felt that she listened carefully to our needs and responded to them effectively. This is especially notable given that we lived out of state, and as a result, many of our interactions took place by telephone and email.
