Julie Umecker

"With 18 years of residential real estate experience, I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with a broad range of clients.  I pride myself on providing each client with expert guidance, attention, and support to ensure a successful transaction and positive experience."  

Julie understands that residential real estate is not only making an informed decision about real estate but it's also a BIG decision about one's "home" and financial investment.  Julie is passionate about working with clients who rely on her to expertly guide them through the intricacies of a rewarding but sometimes challenging process. 

Julie's client base is made up mostly of referrals that come from those who see the value in working with an expert who will apply the highest level of care, commitment, and professionalism to every aspect of the transaction - from first meeting to the closing and even after closing - proven by having a hand in nearly 600 transactions to date. 

Julie completed a BA in Psychology from the University of Illinois.  Before real estate, Julie worked in Public Relations, Business Management and has proven to quickly connect with people with her communication and interpersonal skills. 

Growing up in the southwest suburb of Palos Hills and residing in Chicago for 23 years, Julie has a vast knowledge of many Chicago neighborhoods from the South Loop to Edgewater as well as the surrounding Chicagoland suburbs.  She currently calls Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood home.   

Julie's favorite pastime is spending time with her husband and son, hosting family and friends on Paw Paw Lake, traveling, and culinary.
