Reviews | Julie Nerenberg Block

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.

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!

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!

 

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!

Julie is an extraordinarily skillful and effective broker and a joy to work with. She did an amazing job staging and selling our family’s condo. In a softening market, she got the deal done very quickly and for more than the asking price. We give her our highest possible recommendation.

 

As a first-time home buyer, there was a lot for me to learn, but I was really grateful for Julie! From the first time I reached out to Julie, she answered immediately and from there on out she was very responsive. She was a true professional, and was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very knowledgeable about the process and was a great resource. She offered her opinion when I asked and helped me to consider things I hadn’t thought of. She really went above and beyond in pursuit of my ideal first home, and worked through several challenging buying scenarios until I got just what I wanted. I’ll definitely reach out to Julie in the future and I recommend her to all my friends and family!

 

Julie was fantastic. It started with her extensive research and personal familiarity with our home and area to obtain the perfect price to sell our house quickly with a maximum return on our equity. Throughout the process she provided us with her expert advice which facilitated a smooth and easy sale. Even when the unexpected occurred, e.g. mechanical issues or mover issues, Julie was there with her valuable rolodex to save the day. I can't recommend Julie enough if you want to sell your home at a great price without a lot of hassles.

I have been lucky to work with Julie on renting a beautiful home and then again for my first time buying a home. She is absolutely the BEST there is! Very knowledgeable, quick to respond, always checks in on her clients and gives so much detail about the whole process. I would highly recommend working with Julie for all your renting or home buying needs. I will certainly use her again when the time comes

 

We have worked with Julie two years ago when selling our home and recently when we were ready to buy a new home, we reached out to Julie. We value and trust her professional opinion and expertise and know that we are in good hands when we work with her. She makes the process straightforward and simple. She worked tirelessly to make sure we found a suitable property. Her guidance was invaluable during this process.

Julie did an outstanding job in helping us navigate a very tricky real estate market in Chicago with an equal sense of urgency and patience. As our buying agent, she made certain the condo was right for us and never pushed just to close. My husband is a Vet who never owned a home until now. We wanted to use his VA benefits for this purchase. Julie had the contacts to get this done and never once dismissed our plan for a VA home loan. Everything written about Julie in her bio is true and then some. She is just fantastic to work with and to be around.

Julie was present in every step of buying a home. She was communicative, knowledgeable and unselfish throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend and will be utilizing her again.

Julie did an outstanding job with a tough condo, and some tough buyers. Her knowledge about the market is excellent and the process was very smooth and easy.

I had a wonderful experience with Julie Nerenberg Block on the sale of my Lakeview single family home. Julie is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market and guided my husband and I through the sales process from absolute beginning to end. Julie shows you exactly what to do to prepare your home for the market, knocks it out of the park with photos and marketing material, prices appropriately,negotiates in an aggresive yet respectful manner and makes certain you have a responsive liaison through the inspection and closing process between buyers, buyers agent and lawyers. Let's face it. Selling your home is a stressful process and can get very emotional. Julie was the voice of reason and an intelligent, calming influence that got us though to the finish line. On top of everything else, Julie is warm, kind and a very fun person to be around! Thank you, Julie, for a terrific experience!

 

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Julie! She has now sold two of our properties for at or above asking price. She makes the entire process painless and honestly a little fun. I have and would recommend Julie to anyone buying or selling in Chicago in a heartbeat.

Julie was a godsend. I needed to find a place fast and within a certain budget and neighborhood. She went above and beyond to help me. Picked me up, drove me around from place to place, worked within my budget, didn't try to upsell me and worked directly with my needs. She then continued to help after I moved into my new place and consistently makes herself available whenever I need something. In such a stressful time in my life, she brought warmth, positivity and did all the work for me, except move me in. LOL. Go with Julie for your next purchase or rental.

From the minute we started the process with Julie, we knew we had selected the right person. She took charge, which we wanted, and saw that the process of selling our father's condo went quickly and efficiently. I cannot recommend her strongly enough. Knowledgeable, assertive, patient and fast!

 

Julie was the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with! She handled everything from start to finish, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. From staging the property to coordinating movers and keeping everyone on track, Julie managed it all flawlessly. Her expertise quickly generated several high-quality offers, each better than the last.

 

But this wasn’t just about getting a great price—it was about having someone in our corner who ensured everything was done on time and handled correctly. We couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and professional partner. We’re so grateful for her support and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Julie is easily the most patient, professional, communicative, and fun agent that I've worked with.

I'm a first time homebuyer but long-time home-searcher that never had much luck finding the right home in Chicago. After contacting Julie and explaining what we were looking for, we quickly had a wealth of options to look at that all exceeded our expectations and within a few days she was touring us through a lineup of homes at a manageable and helpful pace.

Any time she didn't immediately know the answer to the million questions I had (which was rare), she would find out and get back to me promptly or connect with someone who could help us figure it out.

If I had one complaint, its that she found us our perfect home way too quickly and we didn't get a chance to work with her a bit longer. She's an absolute delight!

If I ever decide to sell my home, she'll be the first person I call.

Julie is the best! As our agent, Julie was an angel in finding for us the apartment of our dreams. Her overall experience was second to none.

As a first time homeowner, finding my dream home during COVID seemed like a daunting process; however, I am so glad I crossed paths with Julie in housing search. From the start, she took time to get to know us and our goals on a personal level. She was patient and a great listener to our questions. She never rushed us and made the whole process as easy and fun as possible. She worked hard to accommodate showings despite our work schedule. On one sunny day in December, we finally came across our dream home, and Julie was there to help us every step of the way. All in all, I am so happy to recommend her to all her future clients; they will be lucky to work with her! Thank you, Julie!

Julie was simply amazing, she kept me honest on timing, was honest in her opinion when I was wavering on things and helped me find an amazing deal on a beautiful condo. I am so happy to call it home thanks to Julie's help, I would not have been able to do this without her. Plus she was so sweet to my dog and welcomed him on some of the showings due to my scheduling issues. You'll miss out if you don't work with Julie!

This process was seamless and phenomenal because of Julie. We loved our experience working with her and will be recommending her in the future.

Julie was simply the best. From the first time we met, it was clear she cared about us personally and finding us a happy home that was true to what we valued. She was our biggest advocate. I honestly somewhat miss the home buying process because of how enjoyable the experience was with Julie! I can't recommend her enough.

Julie is smart and diligent broker. We had a broad scope of interest fir our next home and delivered great city and suburban options. She responds to all messages in a timely fashion and is a delight to be with. She has a great eye for detail and reminds you of your â??mustsâ?? while looking at homes. I have recommended her to all my friends. She will find you the home you desire !

Julie was so helpful, kind and patient during our procress. We anticipated having a difficult time finding a place (we have more than 2 pets) and she made it so easy and it wasn't nearly as stressful as we were expecting. She was thorough with her tours and any questions we had she answered. I couldn't have expected it to go better. We are truly so lucky to have worked with her!

Just wonderful to work with! I wish I had more rental properties just to work with her again.
