Some of my client’s testimonials:
Dear Julia!
I want you to know that without your professionalism, care, and concern for this major change in my life, things would not have gone as smoothly and as quickly.
Thank you for your personal concern, from the beginning and to the end! As you know, my niece Arlene was in the process of selling her house, and as she said, in no way did she receive the same service!
You are an asset to your Company!
With Kind Memories

“Julia was a pleasure to work with during my first experience to be a homeowner. She was very personable and professional and demonstrated outstanding patience. She listened to what I was looking for, provided guidance on potential listings, and showed great flexibility in her schedule. Julia was prompt and thorough in answering my questions; she ensured each step in the transaction was completed with diligence and care. I would not hesitate to use Julia’s services again, and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a detail-oriented, friendly, and proficient Realtor.”
Erkan Yildiz
“Julia is a skilled realtor who takes all the time necessary to evaluate each client’s needs and fulfill them. She is a good communicator with regard to keeping fellow professionals informed of progress on a file.”
Warren Stroedecke
“Julia is a Star! She’s knowledgeable, organized, and has a great attitude. She listened to our requirements sold our condo at an attractive price (in a very difficult market) and got us our dream home at a very reasonable price. She has visited us several times already, and we plan to keep in touch. We have already recommended her to our friends.”
Gene and Nancy Peterson
“The experience we had with Julia was very professional. The service she provided was excellent. She was very open to understanding our needs. She was always there to listen to what we wanted and she helped us a lot during the search of our house. She was kind and friendly and we were very pleased with the close attention she had for us. Thank you, Julia!”
Gulbin Guldal
“We want to offer you our thanks this Thanksgiving Day for helping us realize our goals and for providing us with a personal touch to the excellent services you provided. Even though our meeting was a chance encounter, you quickly became an important part of our lives and for this, we are very grateful. Happy Thanksgiving.”
Joe and Carla
“The little card you provided to write about our experience working with Julia is not big enough to describe what a wonderful process has been relying on her to find the house we were looking for.
We are very pleased with her work and we are recommending her to our friends and family.
Her patience, respect, and professionalism made this process (which is normally stressful) a really smooth and enjoyable one. Thanks to Julia for all her hard work!”
Geraldine and Ruben Mendoza
“Working with Julia was “priceless”.This was my first time home buying experience and Julia did a fantastic job. What impressed me the most was her sincerity, positivism, professionalism, responsiveness, and the way she handled and solved the issues when they arose. She was very kind in explaining things in a calm and detailed manner. She was so kind and sincere that the buying experience became a pleasant one for me. She listened to my needs and my priorities, and after that, everything went just according to what I was looking for. Julia first gave detailed information for my questions and also was giving step by step simple explanations of what the process would be and honest opinions about the houses. When I understood the mechanism, and why that thing was happening like that, then I could understand and make appropriate decisions. She gave me information and advice on things I didn’t even know so I wouldn’t think of and buying my first home felt so easy. And I know that if it felt easy and simple; it is all because excellent job of Julia. I trust her, and wouldn’t think twice about referring Julia to my friends. Thank you again, Julia.”
Afsar Barlas
Words wouldn’t be good enough to thank Julia for all her help in leading us to a short sale of our property. She really made a big difference in our life. She took us from an undesirable situation as a homeowner and helped short sale our house instead of going into foreclosure. Thanks to her, if we want to, we will be able to be a homeowner again in the near future as our credit won’t be affected as much as if we were to foreclose our property instead. Julia’s optimism, professionalism, persistence, sincerity, and friendly attitude led us to the result. We are so sorry that sometimes we gave her hard times due to our situation but she even handled our negative mood and kept reminding us not to give up and to move on with our lives. We wish her to keep up with her successes and help other people as well.
Ismail and Markrit Oner
Julia, I wanted to thank you for all the effort and time you have put in finding our new home. We can’t wait to have you over with your family! Thanks for everything.
Hiba Fathallah
Julia is the consummate real estate professional. We bought our first house with her help in less than 2 months. She truly listened to us and worked hard on our behalf to find what we were looking for. She arranged all the visits and walked us through every step. She worked with us to make sure we found the right home at the right price and in the right location. We are very thankful to Julia for making the purchase of our home a memorable and successful experience.
Volga Devabhaktuni 
Doing business with Julia was a great experience. She was very professional and helpful in each step of the process. Having deep knowledge of her expertise, she was very responsive and prompt to my questions and concerns. At some point, although she was very sick, she did not have any delay and we could close the deal on time. She is very hardworking and she can handle any difficult situations with a positive outcome. I feel very lucky to do business with Julia and can recommend anyone looking for a professional realtor. Thank you, Julia.
Ozgur Tanriverdi
She’s a property expert, familiar with local communities, home values, and price trends. She spends the time to explain to you the buying/selling or renting (we’ve done both with her) real estate processes. She gives a whole service, tailored to your needs.
Jimmy and Burcin Karadagli
I sold my house at the highest price I could and within the shortest time, I can’t even imagine. You can trust Julia because her interest is the client’s satisfaction. She is a dedicated and honest professional.
Jimmy and Burcin Karadagli
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Julia to buy our first home. Julia was very dedicated and honest and her personality made it a pleasant journey. It was amazing how fast the process went because Julia kept on top of everything. Thanks again, Julia. xo

Joe Rosati
Julia’s excellent service, frequent communication, professionalism & dependability made the buying a house process so much easier for us. We knew instantly we had the right agent to work with.
We were so pleased that every phone call, text, or email was answered right away and always courteously. She went above and beyond & we could certainly recommend her service to anyone who is interested in buying or selling. Julia’s extensive expertise & attention to detail as well as knowledge of the current market made buying a house an enjoyable experience.
Semra and Ismail Ozcag
Julia is a very skilled real estate agent. She sold our house in a very difficult market at top value with the obstacles we had after the home inspection and the appraisal. She was able to keep the deal together despite these challenges thanks to her interpersonal communication and negotiation skills. Finally, we were able to move on with our life.
Murat and Nurhan Adiguzel
We have been helped by Julia Gulden Dagistanli throughout the purchasing process of the property on 25 River Rd. Nutley. She helped us with an extensive list of choices and has been very tolerant, thoughtful, and helpful through our meticulous search for the right property for us. We went around different neighborhoods and she gladly assisted us throughout the area. When we decided on this particular property, she walked us through each and every step with all the details since this was our first time acquiring a property. She really stretched her schedule to accommodate our available hours since we had to commute to the city every business day. Last but not least, she has been outstandingly encouraging but never pushing. We have been very lucky to have met her and worked with ERA on her behalf.
Yonca and Ali Sozer
Excellent agent. Very good follow-up. She has a very good command of what she does. Yonca and Ali Sozer are very dedicated, and professional. ethical. Excellent agent.
Denise Llewellyn
Julia was a pleasure to work with. We weren’t even sure if we were ready to sell and just wanted to get a feel for whether or not we would have interest in our home. We received an offer with the help of Julia’s negotiation skills and had a signed contract within 15 days. We are thrilled to have had her help every step of the way. We would highly recommend Julia to any of our family or friends. She is very thoughtful, considerate, knowledgeable, and responsive.
Stephanie and Ryan Salen
Julia really went above and beyond the call of duty for us! While our property was on the market, we were living on the other side of the country. In spite of this distance, we had no trouble communicating with Julia and getting updates from her at every stage of the process. She was able to take care of details for us which were impossible for us to deal with directly because we were so far away. I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
