About Julie
Born in Chicago and raised in the North Shore, Julie offers her clients a unique perspective to the Chicagoland market. Julie was inspired to begin her real state career after helping friends find their dream homes in her northside neighborhood where she has lived for over 25 years. Julie holds a bachelor’s in science from Tufts University and a master's in occupational therapy from Columbia University. She draws on her analytical skills to ensure her clients financial and real estate goals are always met. Prior to becoming a licensed real estate broker, Julie was an occupational therapist and full-time mother to twins, where she honed her ability to creatively solve problems and aptly manage budgets and expectations. Her entrepreneurial spirit later led her to partner with the owner of a local vintage fashion boutique, allowing her to explore her interest in fashion and design.
Julie believes that connection and communication are the foundation to a successful home search. Compassionate and empathetic, she understands that buying and selling a home may be an emotional time for her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction. Julie is an expert negotiator, advocating for her clients to guarantee their real estate goals are met. She’s known for her meticulous attention to detail, and prides herself on her hands-on, client-focused approach.
Julie comes from a long line of intrepid entrepreneurs—her grandfather immigrated to the United States in 1903, going on to build an incredibly successful family business from the ground up. Julie was raised and worked in this business that her father took over. This allowed her to develop not only business acumen but a tireless work ethic that informs and guides her to this day. In her free time, Julie volunteers with several local philanthropic organizations. She serves on the board of The American Jewish Committee among others, and regularly volunteers at Chicago’s Lakeview Pantry.
I can't say enough about working with Julie! The market tanked and buyers were pulling out left and right and she was positive and worked diligently throughout it all until she was able to sell our beloved condo. Simply fantastic to work with!

David P. Julie Block is the best realtor we have worked with and we have moved over 10 times in major metropolitan areas. Julie did an outstanding job in every respect selling our home and outperformed our high expectations. Julie priced the home perfectly and gave expert advice on what to do (and not do) to show the house in its best light. Julie has amazing attention to detail and was dedicated and attentive to our questions and needs throughout the process. What sets Julie apart from others is that she really cares about her clients -- and it shows. We were not just a sale to her, she understands the stresses of moving and selling and was beyond compassionate and respectful of our family’s needs. Thanks to Julie, we were able to sell the home at asking price -- in two days using just a pocket listing. Julie then helped us through the closing process, which was seamless, thanks to her, and even helped us find a beautiful well-priced new home to rent in an incredibly tight market. We are forever grateful to Julie for her A+ service and her expertise. We highly recommend her to all of our friends.

Alee Julie was amazing!! She went above and beyond what any other realtor has ever done for me. She took the sale of my house on like it was her own. She took it upon herself to make my house look amazing!! Trust me, it needed her special attention! She was the reason that my house sold after the very first showing. Throughout the whole process, she was always very informative, attentive and so helpful. She really cares about her clients which is a quality of her character. I am not exaggerating when I say she was absolutely amazing and she will definitely be my agent for life!

Client Julie was very knowledgeable and took away all the stress from getting the place ready to listing it to selling. Her attention to detail and expertise were invaluable to me. I felt she genuinely cared for me and completely understood how stressful the cleaning/clearing out and moving out can be and she made every effort to minimise any stress. Julie went above and beyond for us and I will always be grateful for that. In the future if and when the need arises, Julie will most definitely be my go-to person!
