About

Hi! I'm Julie, and I've lived in this area since 1990. I've lived in Cary, Chapel Hill, 6 places in Raleigh, Knightdale, and now Zebulon, so I've witnessed the growth and changes of a lot of neighborhoods! What I hope to bring to your home-buying experience is a passion for functionality and design to find you the home that fits your needs AND your personality and lifestyle. After living in north Raleigh for 18 years, I recently moved to Zebulon with my husband, 3 kids, and 6 pets. In my free time, I love cheering at my kids' soccer and baseball games, watching Hurricanes hockey, reading, hiking, and meeting new people.
