"Julia and her experienced team of young ladies did an outstanding job of selling my house. So much that a few years later Julia Shildkret Real Estate was again retained to sell a second home for us, our deceased parents. She provides expert advice on what to upgrade, changes to make, and what to dispose of to optimize your chances of securing as close to selling price as possible. She keeps the client informed and makes the process a nice memorable experience."

Nisim Sachakov, Past Seller

"If you’re looking for the average realtor who just wants to make a commission then this would not be the real estate agency for you. However, if you’re looking for the best realtor on the planet then the Julia Shildkret Real Estate Group is the only choice for you. I recently used Julia and her team to sell my mom’s house in New York long distance from Florida. Julia and her entire team are amazing and went the extra mile every step of the way. They only deal with the highest level of professionalism, competency and integrity. They made this entire experience a pleasure when it could have been extremely stressful. I’d put my trust in Julia over any other realtor and since I’ve bought and sold a few hundred property’s in my life, I speak from experience when I say they’re the best I’ve ever encountered."
