Testimonials - Julie Nirschl Fairfax Realtor

Julie helped my wife and I purchase our first home. She was wonderful to work with as first time buyers. Her knowledge and experience was invaluable. She walked us through all the nuances of the financing and purchasing processes and made sure we felt comfortable with what was in our budget. She represented us very well during the negotiations, and we were extremely happy with the ultimate agreement reached with the seller. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

– Pete Snyder

Julie is hands-down the best real estate agent I have ever worked with! She is an expert in local knowledge and responsiveness. I will definitely be calling her when it is time to buy a new home.

– Carrie Jones

Julie was absolutely wonderful to work with. Her level of expertise is unmatched. She is also an amazing person. The home buying process was stressful for us, but she guided us the entire way, proving reassurance, knowledge and help the whole time. While we are thrilled to be in our new house, I’m sad it’s over because that means I am no longer working with Julie! She is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with and would recommend her without reservation. She is simply the best.

– Kim Gilman

My wife and I have happily bought and sold multiple houses working with Julie and her husband Rob. We first met Julie when she represented another couple selling their home to us. We were so impressed with her professionalism, knowledge of the market, and personal grace that we subsequently asked her to represent us in the sale of our own house. (She and Rob can really help advise you on how to best prepare your home for sale — and then really sell it!). We have had nothing but success with Julie over the years buying and selling multiple homes — both for ourselves and family members. She (with the able help of Rob) is simply the best real estate agent we have ever worked with…and my wife and I have bought or sold nearly 20 properties in our 32 years together! A real class act in every way — cannot recommend Julie and Rob too highly!

– Michael Daigneault

Julie could not have been more enjoyable to work with – she helped walk us through our first ever home purchase, answered all of our questions, and was incredibly patient as we navigated the Northern VA market. I would recommend her in a heartbeat, we would not have the amazing home we do without her!

– Nathan Johnson

Julie is the absolute BEST! As first time home buyers in a crazy market, Julie helped guide us through the entire process. From getting to us a couple and what’s most important to us in our first home, to guiding us through plenty of open house and showings, all the way through closing, Julie was there with us throughout it all! We could not have asked for a better partner to represent us and guide us to our first home!

-George Emmanuel

Julie is fantastic! Very professional. We have known Julie as a friend for 20 years and as a former client. She anticipated our desires and needs and followed through with builder, keeping us informed. Very attentive and detail oriented during the walk through, checking to ensure all inspection items were corrected.

-Jonathan Claus

Julie is an outstanding realtor. She went above and beyond to help me prepare and sell my home. She was super attentive and guided me through every step of the process. I was nervous and overwhelmed. She calmed my fears and anxieties. She was not pushy at all. Her honesty, integrity guide her. She understands each person and their individual needs and meets each client where they are with love and compassion. I can’t say enough good things about her. If you need a realtor, I highly recommend Julie Nirschl for all of your real estate needs.

– Jen Burton

Julie is the best in the business. Extremely professional, always accessible, takes the time to explain when needed, always smiling and kind with her “can do” attitude. She knows the market inside and out and makes an otherwise overwhelming and stressful process so much easier for her clients. Long & Foster could not wish for a better representative for your company. Julie is our realtor for life!

– Alessandra Via Daigneault

There is nothing more daunting, physically and emotionally, than selling your home of 34 years. Our highest praises for Julie for making this impossible process so seamless and successful. Her day in and day out support and unlimited access to contacts in order to get the house ready for sale while sticking to an aggressive timeline and being cost conscious was tremendous! Julie was extremely professional yet so friendly and approachable. Her knowledge about the market and in particular our area was instrumental in our quick and profitable sale. This was a huge endeavor for us and Julie not only made it manageable but even enjoyable. There is no way we could have done it without her. After the sale her support continued in helping us find our dream rental! Not only do we strongly recommend Julie to anyone that is looking to sell or buy a home but we will definitely be using her again when it is our time to buy in the future! Julie is not just a great agent, she is a great friend!

– Sue Russell

Excellent! Amazing! She was so easy to work with! To start she was very responsive with emails, texts, and phone calls. As first time home buyers she made sure we understood the whole process. We were never left confused or feeling in the dark. What truly put Julie in the next level was the fact that she was trustworthy. We trusted her opinion and guidance, leading us to purchase a home we are so thrilled to be in! We can not say enough positive things about are experience working with Julie!

– Jonathan Harrington

Julie did an exceptional job of guiding us through the sale of our property. We had a house with a separate contiguous lot. She correctly analyzed how to market our property and how to price it in a changing market. Important to the marketing and sale were Julie’s enthusiasm for our property, her emphasis on its unique qualities, and her professionalism. She was also always available, responding to questions the same day, even while on vacation. She kept us informed after the house was placed on the market and upon receiving a contract. She also navigated a bumpy road to settlement. She gave sound advice regarding what to do when financing for a buyer was not yet approved. Her experience and advice helped make this transaction work.

– Tom Page

Julie went above and beyond selling our 2 + million dollar home, to helping my ex husband purchase his new home , to helping me purchase my home on my own. She essentially held my hand and taught me thru the process. She again went above and beyond to make sure my “new” house was ready for me. She is smart, knowledgeable and understands her clients. She is a former ICU nurse. She knows how to take of her clients.

– Amy Wellborn

Julie is hands down the best realtor and buyer advocate that we have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the market, personal care and genuine interest in our homebuying journey and “above and beyond” approach to the home buying experience truly exceeded our expectations. She will be the only realtor we refer our friends to and will be the only person we would ever be willing to work with when buying / selling a home in the DMV area. Thank you Julie! You made our dream home purchase come to life!

Lee Semmes

I can highly recommend Julie, she was with me every step of the way. I was looking for an investment property and I was very particular. I received daily listings and was able to screen them for what I was interested in. Julie was very responsive to both calls and emails. We settled on a beautiful Townhome in Ashburn that I think will be a great investment. If you choose Julie to help you with your sale/purchase you will not be disappointed.

-Rick Rother

As first-time home sellers, we cannot say enough about how well Julie handled the sale of our home, making us feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. From start to finish, she explained the steps, quickly answered all our questions, addressed any concerns, and kept us informed.

– Doug and Theresa Thomas

Julie skillfully helped us navigate buying and selling a home in a crazy market. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we were on track and was always patient, responsive and knowledgeable. The best of the best!”

– Amdelong

Julie is simply the best! Our family relocated to Ohio for work/family reasons. When we started the process of selling our home in northern Virginia, we met with Julie. She explained all the steps very clearly and provided great advice and tips for getting top dollar for our home. She was extremely proactive and sent us reminders throughout the selling process to make sure we stayed on track and didn’t miss a beat. We truly felt we were in the best hands and she made selling our house feel easy. She helped us with everything from pricing & comparable sales as well to weighing the pros & cons of different offers, offering invaluable insight and advice that helped us to accept the offer that was best for our family. Julie is so caring, thoughtful, and professional to work with. She is truly exceptional to work with!

– Alicia Kacsmar

Julie was incredible wonderful to work with. Helped me to find a home in a neighborhood I was very happy with. She was willing to show me several homes and work with me as I figured out what exactly it was I was looking for. I highly recommend!

– Rob Hartman

Julie helped us downsize and our experience with her could not have been better! She is extremely well organized. From prepping the house to go on the market, to staging, showing, and closing on the final contract she kept us well informed and guided us through the process. I am so grateful for her wisdom and professionalism. She exceeded my expectations! We have used several realtors in the past but I will never use anyone else. Thank you, Julie!

– Clay Wellborn, MD

We reached out to Julie during a crazy sellers market and we were in a crunch to buy. We felt the cards were stacked against us and she kept us calm, comforted, informed, and prepared through the entire buying process. She talked us through everything and was available at a moments notice for inspection, phone calls, texts, and all the behind the scene magic that helped us get our offer chosen all the way past the closing table.

Julie Nirschl is truly an exceptional agent. Her knowledge of the area and the market were key to the successful sale of my home in just a single weekend. Her network of supporting contractors to help prepare my home for showing to include repairs, painting, carpeting and staging, provided the needed services on short notice to produce a beautiful, desirable and welcoming ready-to-enjoy home for the many interested buyers who came to view the property. Her guidance and representation during the offer review and negotiation phase clearly outlined and compared the offers received to allow me to make the best sale decision. Choosing Julie as your agent is the first and best decision you can make.

– Lance Mitchell

Julie Nirschl was wonderful and supportive throughout the entire process of selling my mother’s house. Great communication and quick to respond to questions and she was great keeping me updated. It was a pleasure working with Julie. Thank you!

Our experience with Julie Nirschl was outstanding. She was very helpful, responsive and provided excellent guidance and recommendations on items that we needed to address before putting our house on the market. The end result was a quick sale that more than met our goals and expectations. Her representation of us with the buyer and their agent in addressing questions and responding in a timely manner, I believe was key to a successful sale in a very minimal period of time. There was only one little hiccup with the closing attorney’s office on a key document but does not detract from our opinion of Julie. She was great!

– Wallis

Julie is awesome! I recommend hiring her as your real estate agent. She represented me as a seller’s agent, and I couldn’t be happier. She was there for me all the way and she represented my best interest. In July 2020, Julie listed my house for sale on a Friday and it was under contract by Monday. Yes, the real estate market in Northern Virginia was heating up around this time, but it really was her expertise and professionalism that made all the difference in my successful sales transaction. My situation was not the easiest and was made more complicated due to a divorce situation. But Julie handled it masterfully by intelligently navigating through the various issues that could’ve made the entire transaction go awry. Her utmost professionalism and diplomacy for all the parties involved resulted in a very successful real estate sales outcome, and I’m very happy that she was in my corner. You cannot go wrong with hiring Julie. I cannot recommend her more strongly.

– mjkim919

Total professional! Julie was responsive to our needs and our difficult schedule, and kept us focused through the entire process. Her expertise and flexibility kept us motivated in this highly competitive, fast-moving market. This was our sixth home purchase, and Julie was, by far, the best realtor we’ve ever worked with!

– Nick

Julie is an amazing realtor who helped me search for and buy my first home. I was a little overwhelmed at first but, she patiently walked me through all the processes and what to expect. She is very knowledgeable, experienced and easily reachable which quickly helped me feel at ease. I really appreciated her honesty and willingness to find answers to questions she initially did not have the answers to, also impressively how quickly she got the answers! I highly recommend Julie to anyone!

– Jimmy Gallahan

Julie is the best realtor ever! She is extremely hard-working and diligent. She stays on top of everything and communicates regularly. When some curve balls arose during our negotiations with the eventual buyer, Julie always had constructive, helpful advice to offer.

– Craig Wolff

Julie is a pro in the real estate biz. She is thoughtful, energetic and aggressive when that is needed…a true champion for her clients. She brings marketing and home showing expertise and knows the Herndon/Reston market extremely well.

– Joe F.

Julie was recommended to me and my fiance by my sister who had worked with her on a home purchase in Leesburg. As first time home buyers, we were looking for a realtor who was not just knowledgeable but could help us understand the home buying process, be attentive, and proactive on recommendations. Julie was all of those things and more. We were looking in the Arlington area and were very impressed by Julie’s knowledge of the area. During the four weeks that we worked with Julie she went above and beyond for us. On two separate weekends she lined up 6+ houses to tour spending the full afternoon with us and even met us after work hours around 8pm when that was the only time we were available. In the HIGHLY competitive Arlington market, Julie advised on putting together competitive offers and were accepted on our 3rd offer on the perfect home for us. As an added bonus, Julie’s husband Rob toured every home with us. Aside from also being great to work with, Rob was very knowledgeable about “the bones” of the house offering input on structure and the builds of each home. They were a fantastic combo that offered deep knowledge on the real estate and structural facets of our tours. We will continue to return to Julie for any buying or selling needs in Virginia.

– Jon Maher

We have used Julie for the sale and purchase of multiple homes over the past few years. She is one of the best realtors around and we highly recommend her! Julie is extremely knowledge of markets and trends and takes client service to a whole new level. She is very accessible, communicative and responsive at every stage of the home buying or selling process. She has provided us with invaluable insights throughout all of our home buying and selling experiences and has always been very accommodating to our ever- changing needs. You know when you work with Julie she isn’t just trying to sell you a house and earn a commission – she genuinely wants to help her clients find “their” home and will tirelessly work with you to make that happen. Julie is also a terrific negotiator when it comes to offer time, and has always been very effective in helping us achieve a happy outcome. She is a true gem and a joy to work with!

– Alessandra Daigneault

We have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Julie. From the time we asked her to represent us as sellers, she has provided us with abundant and invaluable advice and information in every step of the process that helped us make good decisions. Her insights regarding the market in our area were quite impressive to say the least. She was always prompt in her response to our queries and honest and realistic with her advice. We would recommend Julie to anyone who wishes to buy or sell their properties because of the extremely positive experience we enjoyed in selling ours.

– Joe Pleta

Julie Nirschl is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. She is so professional. She knew the neighborhood very well and provided careful guidance throughout the process. She bent over backwards to help in every way possible. And, with her assistance, we were able to get the house ready to sell in an efficient manner and received a contract right away. I will definitely recommend Julie to anyone wishing to buy or sell a house in Herndon, VA and the surrounding area.

– Tracy Terry

Julie was great to work with. Very professional and efficient. She had great insight and provided wonderful guidance in our situation. It was a time sensitive situation and she was fantastic at marketing and helping us list my mothers house and it was sold within 24 hours of hitting the market. Highly recommend!

Great job Very professional and efficient Extremely knowledgeable Friendly and collaborative Highly recommend.

– Pete Parnian

If you are looking to buy or sell a home, we would highly recommend Julie Nirschl We found working with Julie to be a wonderful experience. Friendly and engaging, she is a top-flight professional in real estate – easy to work with, very knowledgable about the market, the local offerings, and the rules and regulations that we would have to attend to. Whenever we made and inquiry, either by email or phone, Julie answered our questions quickly and professionally.

– Martin Eldred

Julie is a top expert in her field. She gave me accurate advice and worked closely with me every step of the way, making the sale of my house a short and pleasant experience. Julie also is personable and wonderful to talk with. I highly recommend Julie without hesitation.

If you want to contact the best real estate agent in the area please contact Julie. From the initial consultation to closing Julie’s attention to detail was second to none. She made note of all the home’s selling points, developed an action plan to remediate the negatives, prepared marketing material, addressed and removed, performed a detailed market analysis to derive a fair and justifiable selling price, and very importantly addressed and removed roadblocks during the sales process. Following her professional guidance my home sold at full price within a week. I knew Julie was a very good real estate agent but she exceeded my already high expectations of her professional skills.

Julie is great to work with! She responded almost immediately to emails and texts, no matter what time I sent them. She was willing to show houses depending on when it was convenient for me and was always able to show them even if it was last minute. Julie provided knowledge about other houses that were for sale in the area or that had recently sold. Any questions that I asked she was able to answer either on the spot, or she would do research and call or email me back with the answer. She even took time to put together the contract when she was away on a trip! Julie was a joy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Good Morning Julie,
I just want to let you know how pleased Renate and I are about how you handled this process.
You made it simple and your counsel was always clear and concise.
Anyone I encounter in need of real estate will receive your business contact information.
Thanks for your professionalism and most importantly, your friendship.

Sincerely,
Charlie

Julie recently helped us to purchase our new home and sell our condo. From start to finish, Julie was warm, knowledgable and trustworthy. She was very flexible with her schedule and very easy to communicate with. She helped us learn about the world of new construction as well as explore great neighborhoods with existing homes. She really took an interest in the wellbeing and happiness of our family as we searched for our new home, and we are so grateful! She made sure we were always ahead of the game in both the buying and selling processes, and they couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We would highly recommend Julie and her services!

Mallory

We highly recommend our friend and realtor, Julie Nirschl. She made our decision easy. We listened to her approach to selling our home over the course of several meetings and decided we could not sell without her. Julie held our hands before, during and after the process. She brought in a great team to help us stage and show our home. We followed her sound advice at every step and it resulted in our sale. When a serious safety issue arose while we were still looking for a buyer, Julie found a way to continue showing our home. This issue later could have delayed our closing. However, Julie came up with a way to ensure we closed on time. Julie not only sold our home; she also sold our neighborhood and the town of Herndon. Julie is extremely professional and has an infectious optimism. There were times we were worried, but she kept our hopes high, knowing we were priced well and had a great home. She communicates well and kept us informed at every step.

Jon and Clari Claus

Julie Nirschl is the most excellent real estate professional that I have ever worked with. Julie was constantly doing research, testing the pulse of the neighborhood and area on a daily basis. She chose the most optimum time to put my house on the market and was crucial in getting my house ready to sell. Her knowledge of what it takes to sell a house is spot on. Julie’s network of professionals made the repairs on my house literally stress free. She also worked directly with her Interior Designer to stage my house beautifully. As a result, my house sold in about a week for list price. I attribute the success of the sale one hundred percent to Julie Nirschl. She is a not only a professional, she is also a lovely person to work with.

Sharon

Every house she sold for us had offers at the open house. Each transaction closed within the same month. She is easy to work with, excellent coordinator, assists with finding companies to perform items that need to performed at least cost. She is well connected with service providers. Not only did she sell our single home but in addition found our next home with no commission for the new home. She is a real satisfier for real estate transactions.

Brent Booker

Selling your home is a difficult time and Julie alleviated much of our stress. She is genuine in her approach and had our best interest at heart. Through many emotions, she was there by our side and we felt 110% supported. Julie is knowledgeable about the process and took great care to explain details to us, so we could make well informed decisions. Her network is amazing and it is clear that she has built mutually respected relationships. All her recommendations from tradesman to lawyers were fantastic and they ensured Julie’s high standards were met. We have bought/sold 2 other homes and We would highly recommend Julie’s services to friends and family. She is an Amazing Real estate Professional. By far this was the best real estate experience that we have had despite selling a beautiful home that we loved. Thanks for everything Julie!

Linden Muth

As first-time homeowners, we could not have been more satisfied with our experience of having Julie Nirschl as our Realtor. Right from the initial consultation, we knew we had someone we could trust and rely on. Julie’s understanding of the housing market and savvy negotiation skills made all the difference in turning a challenging situation into an amazing home buying experience. In addition to the added requirements of using a VA Home Loan, we were also under a tight deadline of about 2-3 months to complete the purchase. Nonetheless, Julie made the entire process fun, helped us manage our stress along the way, and was always thinking one step ahead to ensure we were ready for the next hurdle. She was always available to serve as an expert advisor and ensure we understood every decision we were making, which was perfect for a couple like us without any experience navigating the DC housing market. Even at this pace, Julie was able to help us find the home of our dreams, despite all the added constraints we faced. And when it came to final negotiations her recommendations were spot on, resulting in the best terms we could have hoped for. Finally, I would also include Julie’s extended network as yet another asset in choosing her as your Realtor. Not only did she connect us with an excellent loan officer to handle our purchase, but several other experts (vendors, contractors, inspectors, etc.) who I would also gladly recommend after our individual experiences with them. Overall, it was a pleasure and quite the educational experience working with Julie, and we doubt you could do better than her in choosing a Realtor in the Washington, DC region.

John Whipple

Julie is amazing! She was there with me every step of the way as I sold my home. She was sensitive to the fact that this was an emotional transaction for me. She knew the neighborhood extremely well and was able to provide expert guidance on what would help my home sell quickly.

Cindy Long

I just wish there were more stars to select for Julie! We just sold our house in Herndon in late March and with Julie guiding us through the process it was absolutely the best experience we could have ever imagined. “Professionalism” is a very over used term, but in Julie’s case it is spot on for everything that she does. She has a seemingly unlimited knowledge of the local area and the ins and outs of real estate. She was very, very responsive to our every little question. We were in and out of town a lot while the house was being prepared to go on the market and Julie went above and beyond with helping out in this area. No job was too large or small for her and it made things so much easier for us to know she was there. When we first met Julie we knew right away that we had lucked into finding a great real estate agent. Beyond what it takes to be a great agent, Julie’s warm and friendly personality and her integrity in the process are what sets her apart from many others. Our house went on the market late on a Thursday and by Monday morning we had five offers, several above the listing price. I would recommend Julie to anyone for any real estate business–buying, selling, or renting. There’s no question that she will work extremely hard to take the stress out of an always stressful situation and get the best deal possible. Thanks Julie!!!

Charlie Parker

I highly recommend Julie Nirschl as an experienced, confident, professional realtor. She absolutely knows the business and will go out of her way to represent your interests, market your home, and and even make the process fun. She is efficient and organized, and pays attention to every detail. She and her husband Rob make a powerful team and they will do what needs to be done to help you sell or buy a home. Julie knows the local real estate market, provides honest and helpful advice, and works with a team of professionals. She exceeded our expectations in every way.

Laurie Turner

The BEST! Very attentive to wants and needs of buyer and quick to follow through. Finds amazing properties, keeping in mind the desired price range. Very friendly and easy to work with. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Julie sold our house faster than I ever expected and sold it for more than what we put it on the market for! I HIGHLY recommend her! The whole process that we followed was easy and very quick. Her expertise in real estate is outstanding!

Joe Schiavone

Julie went above and beyond! She was there every step of the way from initial listing to closing. She placed signs all over the house describing different upgrades and when they were done; items of interest in the neighborhood; stores, schools, places of interest nearby. She was a fantastic realtor and I would recommend her to anyone.

Julie is a knowledgeable, experienced professional with tremendous energy, tact and incredible attention to detail. Julie sold my house, quickly and without any set backs. I was informed every step of the way and my wife and I both, were made part of the process. I highly recommend Julie to anyone who wants to get it sold! Julie listened to what our expectations were first, then formulated a plan that was efficient and accurate! The execution flawless. Finally, Julie’s personality and people skill’s made a tremendous impact on not only us but the buyers as well.

Julie was excellent! Worked with us over a year as our plans changed with patience, and had a masterful understanding of our fluctuating needs. She helped immensely in negotiation, providing great insight and direction – and got us an amazing deal on our dream house in Ashburn. Would definitely recommend to any looking for real estate in Northern Virginia!

Julie has both bought and sold two different residences for me as well as found renters twice for one of my properties. She is on time, detailed, professional, and a joy to work with at all times. The greatest thing about Julie is she is super responsive and will provide you with all the things you may need to buy or sell a house, to include a list of recommended contractors, many of them I have used several times with great success!!

Steve Bailey

I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to help me with my first time home buying. Julie went above and beyond to help me through the process, explaining and making sure I was comfortable at every step. I purchased my house 3 years ago, and I can still email her and ask questions and she responds the next day. She still goes out of her way to provide me with helpful information. She is great!

Jen M Falvey

We loved working with Julie. She was patient, very organized, extremely diligent and researched comparables in the geographic area where we were looking (Vienna-Falls Church-Fairfax). Julie has a wonderful, pleasant personality. At no time did she try to push us or hurry us into a rash decision. She was willing to show us the property we ultimately bought a number of times to satisfy all our concerns. She helped us find a mortgage lender and an excellent settlement attorney that made the whole process very easy. We would not hesitate to use her expertise again and would gladly recommend her to friends and family. She’s simple the best.

Bill and Carol Cole

I’m writing to tell you what a wonderful experience I had working with Julie Nirschl on the sale of my home. Julie was expert, professional, dedicated, savvy, absolutely knowledgeable about the entire process from listing to closing and even after. She walked us through the entire process when we signed the contract with her, then during the process by frequently providing very clear and thorough updates, and even after closing to let us know how details were progressing for the new owners. Because of family commitments, I frequently had to be out of town and away from phone service, the other seller was frequently away for work and vacations, and those great updates are what really kept the entire process running smoothly, on time, and with nothing overlooked. Even during those times had to be away, I finally stopped worrying about issues arising because 1) Julie did a wonderful job of anticipating any potential snags and so we dealt with them preemptively, and 2) if anything came up that was impossible to anticipate, 1 had complete faith in Julie to resolve it or to communicate it to me with a recommendation of how to best resolve it quickly.

Julie has also assembled a wonderfully talented and reliable team of people to suggest as contractors, settlement lawyers, and everything else imaginable. Every person we chose to hire upon her suggestion was reliable, on time, and did excellent work for a fair price.

Julie being a neighbor and member of my community also made a huge difference in selling my home. Her extensive knowledge of Old Dranesville Hunt Club, and the incredibly wonderful neighborhood it is to live in, as well as having raised children in the neighborhood, made her uniquely qualified to explain its virtues to potential buyers. 1 also think that Julie herself is a fabulous selling point for the neighborhood, its homes, and great social events – she represents it through her completely professional, yet fun and sociable, demeanor, and I think that also sums up how ODHC feels to live in. After experiencing Julie’s work for myself, I cannot imagine why anyone planning to sell a home in ODHC would consider using any other agent than Julie Nirschl!

In addition to all of the above, Julie goes that extra step – or more like that extra 5,280 steps! She used her own time to hold open houses each weekend (not just once or twice!), she stopped by to make sure landscaping was watered when we were away, she even took time out of her schedule to meet our HVAC person at the house while we were away to get the system serviced in a timely manner. I felt that she put her whole heart into selling our house and she did! And that showed in the numbers we had and the interest she created in buyers about our home and neighborhood. I truly believe her “above and beyond” service, advice, and straightforward honesty about what’s needed for your home’s best presentation, is the reason our home was the one that sold in a time when other homes are languishing.

I could write far more but, to sum up Julie’s excellent, knowledgeable, and dedicated professionalism, I cannot possibly imagine ever using another agent but Julie for the buying or selling of a home in this area. Nor will I! If I buy again in this area, Julie will be my agent! In the interim, I have been, and will be, recommending her to everyone I know or talk to who expresses interest in buying or selling a home.

On January 14th of 2016, my wife and I closed on the selling of our beautiful home in Ashburn VA. So here’s how the story goes.

Tracey and I married in October 2012. Both of us had gone through harsh divorces in years prior but luckily, we found each other. Tracey and I worked hard to buy our first home together after getting back on our feet. After 3 plus years in our home, one we thought we would live in for much longer, we decided to sell. Sell only because our new business took us closer to Washington DC more often than not! That is the only reason!

I had the pleasure of meeting Julie Nirschl through Fetnah Schacht, the Managing broker at the Long and Foster Vienna/Oakton office in Vienna Virginia. I immediately liked Julie’s personal approach and style. I knew, and so did Tracey, she would be a great fit for us. Julie approached the sale of our home with extreme professionalism, extensive knowledge and always took into account the sensitivity of the process. Our home was difficult to let go of but Julie just made it so easy for us. From providing guidance and leadership, to putting her arm around my dear wife at a difficult time and simply saying to her, it’s going to be ok!

I would highly recommend Julie Nirschl to anyone selling their home no matter what the circumstance. The Long and Foster office in Vienna/Oakton is amazing and I have had the pleasure of meeting many. They were amazing!

Finally, Tracey and I vow to work even harder to buy our second home together in the not too distant future. I have Julie Nirschl on speed dial, that’s where she will stay!

Thank you Julie!!
Sincerely,
Joe & Tracey
Ashburn, VA

Choosing Julie as my realtor was the best decision I made before I moved out to CA. She made my relocation to CA so much easier and stress free for me by taking on all the coordination and management of the various contractors who upgraded and staged the house while I was in CA. In addition, she handled all aspects of the sales, home inspection, repair work, appraisal and settlement arrangements and kept me regularly informed on all stages of the house preparation, potential buyers and contract dealings. Not many realtors would go the extra miles that Julie did to help me prepare the house for the market and oversee all the follow up after the sale. I have worked with other agents who I thought were good but I must say that Julie is the complete package. Her professionalism, attitude and work ethics exceeded those I had earlier dealings and her thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity were so much appreciated. I could not have accomplished nor been as successful in selling my house without her. Julie gets all the credit and has definitely earned every single penny of her commission! I highly recommend Julie for anyone looking to sell their home.

“Julie assisted us in buying a beautiful home in Great Falls. We spent several months looking for just the right home for our growing family. She absolutely cared about our needs and ensured she tailored home showings to our specific requirements. Her attention to detail was superb; her recommendations excellent and well researched. Julie is one of the most sincere people we have ever done business with and we truly appreciated this when we stepped up to a much larger home. Julie’s attention to detail on our home purchase and expert recommendations earned our trust and ensured we smoothly moved into the family home of our dreams. Julie is a true professional and has our highest recommendation.”

The service and personal attention that I received from Julie Nirschl was nothing less than exceptional. She is truly a high caliber professional, and her knowledge of the local market and pricing advice ensured that I received the best offer. Having moved out of state during the sale of my home, I felt confident in Julie’s ability to stage the house with optimal enhancements and handle any matters that needed to be taken care of in my absence. She was always available for questions and each interaction was personal, making me feel as though I was her only client. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Julie and her team to anyone interested in buying, selling or renting a home in the Northern Virginia area.

As a first time home buyer I was very nervous about the process, Julie was there every step of the way and took the time to explain the process and teach me the whole way through. She was always quick to respond to my many email inquiries and questions throughout. She made buying my first house so fun, exciting and calmed all my nerves! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase their home.

Richard and I have had the immense pleasure of working with Julie in the sale of our home in Falls Church. She is kind, compassionate, hardworking, and deeply committed to her clients. She has given us invaluable advice, advocating for us every step of the way. I can think of no one else we would rather have on our team. She is simply the best, never pushy and always working in our best interests. We look forward to working with her on any future real estate transactions and would highly recommend her to anyone interested in selling or purchasing a home.

Dear Julie,
Thank you so much for the welcome note and treats you left for us today. You are so thoughtful. Truly your help in finding this house was an answer to prayer – a tender mercy of the Lord. You were part of a very personal blessing for our family and I appreciate all of you effort in helping us with this temporary relocation. The Lord’s tender mercies do not occur randomly or by coincidence. I know that you seeing this property only days before our need for it and the emails that followed, were in fact as you mentioned in your note “divine intervention” – a personal miracle. Thank you so much.

Warmest Regards,
Jami

My wife and I recently sold our house with Long and Foster, and we were very pleased to have Julie Nirschl as our representative for many reasons. Having purchased our home at the height of the market bubble in 2007, we almost immediately lost all equity in this home and were stuck, underwater, with a mortgage product that was financially toxic for our family. We have spent the last three years working on a way to get out from under the weight off this property. During this time Julie helped us in many ways. She guided us through the process of renting the property while we saved money living with family. After a long two years of renting the property we collectively decided to put our home on the market. Within 12 days of our renter’s departure we were able to get our home quickly repaired with the help of Julie’s contractors, staged the house, and Julie had the home listed. She produced a beautiful brochure and a dozen web-listings appeared within hours of the official MRIS listing. Julie listed, sold, and closed on the property all within a 5 week span. It was amazing to us that after so many years, to be able to list the home, we actually had a buyer within 2 days of the house hitting the market. It was a great feeling. The entire process was smooth. Julie was dependable, gave great advice, was easy to communicate with, and was always extremely professional. After selling our home she was immediately hired to sell another unit like ours. She sold it in just one to two days. I would recommend Julie as a realtor without reservation. I promise you won’t’ be disappointed.

Warmly,
Christopher and Meghan L.

I know I just bombarded you with questions but I just wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your knowledge, expertise & most importantly … honesty & openness!

Julie,
I just wanted to stop my busy day and say THANK YOU again. I am very excited and looking forward to moving into my new home.

We really found someone we can relate too. Thank you for your hospitality and cheerful demeanor. We are looking forward to working with you. Please stay in touch,

Mike and LaVonda K.

Through chance and during my initial search, I was dialing random phone numbers when I reached you on an entirely different property where you were so kind to call and see if they accepted pet. After that, you were out of town and during that time I had put an application out on another property through another listing but when you reached back out to check on my status of my home search – I knew that other property wasn’t my home. You are a true star. You helped save me so much stress, helped me manage my stress, listened to what I was looking for and aimed to get me into a great place – a place that I really feel comfortable moving into. You worked hard to iron out details and you were definitely not just looking for another buck and never treated me as such.

I hope to maintain a long term relationship with you and when I can finally move forward towards home purchase – you are definitely the team member I would love to have on my side. I will also definitely recommend you to any friends that may need assistance.

Again, you are an amazing realtor, a great woman – a true star. I hope Long & Foster knows how lucky they are that you are on their team.

Thank you so much for finding a new home for me and my Bella!

Julie Nirschl is simply the best real estate agent my family has worked with. In May, I flew from California to Virginia with one mission, “Find a home for my family and I.” To complicate matters, I only had five days to get it done. By happenstance, my best friend and I drove past Julie’s office and I asked him to stop. After two days with Julie, I realized that this was the best decision I could have made. Simply put, Julie is a professional, and she has the patience of a saint. What sticks out the most is the fact she never tried to talk me into a house that was not right for me or my family. Oftentimes, an agent will try to convince you that the shack in front of you is actually a luxury home. Julie never did.

I picked up on Julie’s professionalism very quickly, but her saint like patience was on exhibit after her car was towed, while we were walking through a home. Now, believe me when I tell you that I was ready for her to blow a gasket, but she never lost her composure. In fact, she took it in stride so well that it helped me maintain my calm as we worked against the clock to find a home. On Friday, the last day of our search, we found a townhouse that met our needs, and I know that without Julie’s assistance, this would not have been possible.

Bottomline – I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking to buy or rent a home!!

We worked with Julie to help explore our options for apartments and town homes. While we were not sure we wanted to move from our current building, we wanted to see what’s out there and move if we found the right place. Julie went above and beyond in showing us around and providing us with information, despite the fact that she knew that in all probabilities we would likely not move this year! Julie was very prompt in answering our questions and returning calls. We did get into negotiations with a town home that we loved, and Julie was instrumental in facilitating that negotiation. We were very impressed with Julie’s integrity and honesty – she told us when to stop negotiating and provided valuable guidance and advise to restart our search the next year. We highly recommend Julie – she is one of the rare gems in the realtor’s world and we would absolutely work with her in a heartbeat.

Thanks,
Ashwin

I would highly recommend Julie to anyone looking to rent or buy a house, she is fantastic. Julie took what had become a very trying and frustrating experience and made it fun again. At 7 months pregnant I was trying to find a pet friendly house to rent in VA, no easy feat. Having been frustrated repeatedly with other agents not listening to what I needed I had almost given up. Julie not only listened when I told her what we needed in a house but she went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we got it and did not waste time on unsuitable viewings. Before going to see a house Julie called to confirm that they would accept pets (and that there were not size restrictions on dogs). As we walked through the house she made sure I noted any issues and took time to really think about if the house would work for us rather than just rushing into an agreement. We are now very happily settled in a beautiful house in a friendly neighborhood all thanks to Julie her outstanding customer care and attention to detail.

Many many thanks Julie.

My husband and I had a great experience with Julie. We ended up relocating from the west coast and only had a few days to look for a rental property with a few specific requests. We communicated back and forth rapidly through email, and when we only had a couple days to look for a rental property, we ended up picking a place on our first day. She had a good idea of what we were looking for and was able to warn us about potential red flags from properties we visited. We did not feel like we were a means towards a commission, and she was upfront with us on what she would financially gain from helping us. It was comfortable and easy to work with Julie, and we would not hesitate to work with her again.

Elaine

Thanks to Julie we now live in a lovely home. She is very knowledgeable, not only about real estate, but also about people, the perfect combination for a great Realtor. When we met her, it felt like we had known her for a long time. She listens well and really understands what your priorities are. It was a joy to work with Julie. She stayed in close contact, kept us posted at all times and acted fast. Highly recommended!

We couldn’t be happier about the great service we received from Julie. After several weeks of driving around town and conducting internet searches, we decided it was time to get professional help. We couldn’t have been more fortunate than to have Julie answer the phone when we called the Vienna Long & Foster office. Within a couple days she had located several properties that matched our needs and about a week later, after she showed us our top choices and coordinated with the property owners, we were signing lease paperwork on the perfect place!

“There is simply no one else we would entrust with our biggest investment than Julie. She has done a phenomenal job for us (on multiple transactions) as well as our family and friends. She always puts our interests first and works tirelessly and patiently on our behalf.

Recently, my wife and I were searching for a vacation home. Faced with a limited available inventory of homes in our targeted area and price range, and with very specific requirements, Julie went above and beyond to find us the perfect home by putting her network of resources to work and identified the perfect home and location. She then worked closely with us to help successfully navigate what was a challenging valuation and bidding process by employing an expert buying strategy while also demonstrating the highest professional standards and putting our needs first. Julie got us the perfect house at the best possible price. We highly recommend Julie for anyone looking to purchase a home.

I just wanted to thank Julie Nirschl for all her help assisting me sell my house. She explained the process we needed to follow, and the process worked. There was an offer on the house taken in the first hour it was on the market for the OPEN HOUSE. She is very professional, and really knows the business. She realistically explained the market for houses in this area, so we could plan together a selling approach. The price we received for the house more then met our expectations. I would recommend Julie for any person looking to see their house in this area.

Fred and Charlotte B.

Dear Julie,
We wanted to thank you for the time that you spend with our family as we searched for a home. We never felt like “just another client”, or “just a rental client” with you. We were looking for a real estate agent who would be responsive to our questions or concerns, communicate with us in a timely manner, and have great communication skills and you exceeded our expectations in all of those areas and more. Throughout the entire process we felt comfortable; never once pressured or pushed to move in a direction in which we don’t want to move Being able to drive the process ourselves, and at a pace with which we felt comfortable, is a fit that most agents do not have in their toolbox. Overall, we had a great experience with you and would highly recommend you to anyone that is seeking to work with an agent. Once again, thank you for your hard work, friendship, and warm spirit.

Scott and Michele B.
