About Julie

About Me For nearly 20 years, Orono has been where my husband, Mitch, and I raised our four grown children—Parker, Sophie, Alexandra, and Sadie—and built a life we love. We also spent years living and enjoying the lake life on Lake Minnetonka. Because of that, I know this community deeply—from the lake lifestyle to hidden neighborhood gems—and I love helping others discover the perfect place to call home. I graduated from the University of Minnesota and then moved to San Diego, California, where I worked in the corporate world. It was during that time that my love for real estate first began. When I returned to Minnesota, I worked alongside Mitch at our family business, Shoreline Builders, where I learned the value of hard work, integrity, and client care. Those lessons built the foundation for how I serve my clients today in real estate. As a Realtor, my business is built on referrals, repeat clients, and successful outcomes. I take pride in guiding people through one of life’s biggest decisions with professionalism, creativity, and drive. My clients trust me to listen, advocate, and follow through. Nothing is more rewarding than helping someone buy the home they’ve always dreamed of or sell their current home with confidence so they can move on to the next chapter. Mitch plays an important role on our team. With more than 25 years of experience as a general contractor and handyman, he brings an incredible eye for construction, remodeling, and possibility. He also helps clients prepare their homes to sell—whether it’s small updates, repairs, or reimagining spaces to maximize value and appeal. Together, we offer something truly unique: a husband-and-wife duo who can guide clients seamlessly from buying to remodeling to selling. We take the stress and hassle out of the process and replace it with clarity, teamwork, and results you can count on. At the heart of everything I do is family. Our youngest daughter, Sadie, who has special needs, inspires me daily with her resilience and joy. That perspective grounds me in compassion, patience, and determination to serve my clients with the same dedication I give to my own family. And with two miniature golden doodles adding plenty of energy and personality at home, there’s never a dull moment in our lives. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me traveling, playing Mahjong, golfing, or boating on Lake Minnetonka or Cross Lake. The thing I love most of all is just spending time with my family and friends! Why Work With Me When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a Realtor—you’re getting a team. I bring local market expertise, strong negotiation skills, and a business built on referrals and results. Mitch brings decades of construction knowledge, an incredible eye for possibility, and the ability to help clients prepare their homes to shine on the market. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing in a property with remodeling potential, we’re here to eliminate the headaches, maximize your results, and make the process stress-free from start to finish. From the first showing to the final closing, I am here to bring energy, dedication, commitment, and a team approach you won’t find anywhere else.
