About Julia

For nearly four decades, waking up in Colorado has felt like a dream. I moved here in the late ‘80s to attend the University of Denver (DU), earning a Political Science degree and a French minor from Université d’Angers in France.

Both of my sons are CU Boulder graduates. My youngest runs a successful blacksmith business and was the youngest winner on Forged in Fire (History Channel). He has been featured in magazines and documentaries and spends much of his time skiing in the Rocky Mountain backcountry. My oldest, a digital marketer at Google, is an avid traveler—base jumping in Thailand, skiing in Japan, trekking Iceland, and even crewing a catamaran from the Bahamas to NY. He recently ran the 2024 NYC Marathon in 2:56, shaving 30+ minutes off his 2023 time—an unheard-of improvement.

Colorado’s outdoor lifestyle is unmatched, and I embrace it fully. I ski North America’s best moguls at Mary Jane, hike 14ers, mountain bike, snowshoe, rock climb, and fly-fish in Colorado’s trout-filled rivers (though I mostly end up playing with my dog and scaring the fish away!). A longtime Avalanche fan, I’ve held season tickets for years. I’m also deeply involved in Flatirons Community Church.
Originally from Cypress, CA, I sought nature, adventure, and world-class skiing. I applied only to Colorado universities—without ever visiting! The moment I arrived; I knew I was home.

I originally planned to attend law school and specialize in international law, but with student loans to pay off, I pivoted to real estate—a blessing in disguise. A friend introduced me to resort development sales, where I thrived in launch sales before transitioning to traditional real estate. I spent years working in Telluride, Keystone and Grand County, later joining 8z Real Estate (all Colorado zip codes begin with an "8") and landed in Boulder.

Now, with decades of experience, I specialize in representing luxury buyers, first-time buyers, investors, downsizers, second-home seekers, move-ups and developers. I’ve handled transactions ranging from $90,000 to multi-millions and provide the same level of dedication to every client. My focus areas include:
Boulder County: Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville, Broomfield, Erie, Westminster, Longmont, Niwot & parts of Denver.
Grand County: Winter Park, Fraser, Tabernash, Granby & Grand Lake.
I consider myself a school expert, having navigated public, private, and charter schools firsthand with my sons. Many families rely on me to help them find the right home in the right school district.

Nearly two years ago, I accepted an offer to host a nationally syndicated TV show—The American Dream – Selling Boulder & Beyond. The Emmy-nominated, Telly-winning series airs on HGTV, The Travel Channel, and streaming platforms like Netflix & Amazon Prime. My episodes highlight Boulder & Grand Counties, featuring iconic spots like Chautauqua Park, Pearl Street, Old Town Louisville, and Winter Park Ski Resort. With over 30M+ social media viewers and thousands more via TV, no other agent in Colorado provides more exposure for listings than I do.

I bring passion, expertise, and top-tier service to every transaction. As a top 1% producer nationwide, my approach is built on honesty, availability, and hard work. I treat every client like family, ensuring the best results with cutting-edge marketing, strong negotiation skills, and a deep love for real estate.

If you're looking to buy, sell, explore communities, or just connect, let’s talk! You landed on my page for a reason. I look forward to meeting you.
