Julie Childers's Listings
"Julie Childers was great to work with and kept a positive attitude throughout the process. I was selling my house from a distance, and she helped to coordinate different tasks that enabled a smooth sale such as high quality photographs. She went to the house multiple times to help take care of issues that came up, which allowed me to minimize how often I went to the house. This saved me a lot of time. I would definitely work with her again if I ever buy or sell in Michigan again."

- Adrian Mattson, Home Seller

She was patient with us during the looking process and showed us over 10+ homes, before we found our perfect one. Once we found the one, she checked in daily to make sure we knew where we were in the process and to see if we had any questions or concerns. We 100% recommend Julie and we will be using her for ALL of our future real estate needs!"

- Jason Covalle, Home Buyer
"This was my first time selling a house. It was my grandparents house so it was an estate home and it was also a manufactured home. For these reasons, there were multiple hoops to jump through. Julie was a pro, guiding me every step of the way. She helped me in many ways that I feel went beyond her scope of being my realtor. She is an amazing realtor and a fantastic person!"
- Roy Mays, Home Seller
"Julie was an absolute dream to work with as my realtor in selling my home!

Thank you Julie, for helping us find the perfect home to raise our family in! I highly recommend reaching out to Key Realty for all your real estate needs!"
- Sabrina Samons, Home Buyer
"Julie IS AMAZING!!! She is an absolute pro and wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond throughout the process of buying a property from afar. We are so, so grateful to have worked with her - we found our dream property and just closed this morning! My husband and I had one of the most challenging set of specifications you can imagine AND on top of that, we were buying a house in Michigan during late winter, while living thousands of miles away in our current home in Oregon. I reached out to Julie through a Google form after reading all the great reviews and not only did she respond promptly; she didn't even flinch when I explained our situation! She guided us through the process with grace and professionalism, and was thorough, reliable, and honest, and she was so patient with us! She is an excellent communicator and listener; she understood what we wanted and what our priorities were very quickly (even when we weren't communicating them that well!). We hope to find some lakefront property in the UP later on in our retirement and she will be on speed dial for that and any other real estate needs we have. We highly recommend Julie, she is a trustworthy partner who makes the entire process feel easy and pleasant. Can't say enough good things! Thank you so much, Julie! We are so excited about our new home!"
- Jennifer Valles, Home Buyer
"We want to once more extend our heartfelt gratitude to Julie. She has unequivocally proven to be the finest agent we've encountered. Amidst the chaos of our relocation, we inadvertently left behind a crucial component of a satellite dish. Given our departure from Michigan and the fact that our acquaintances in the area are elderly, we reached out to Julie with a request to retrieve the necessary part from the satellite dish and deliver it to our friends' residence. Without hesitation, she not only agreed to assist but also completed the task without charge. Julie's exemplary dedication and generosity truly set her apart as the epitome of excellence in her profession. Thank you Julie, you're the best!

"A few months ago, my husband and I decided we wanted a house. A friend gave me Julie's name and contact information. Julie is not only honest, but she has a great sense of humor and works every day to help you get into the home you want. She makes you feel comfortable talking to her and asking her any questions. Julie helps lessen the stress of getting a home. I told her I wished we got in the house by Christmas, and she made it happen. We closed on our home in 16 days. Yes, 16 days from start to finish!! If you want an honest, dependable realtor who gets things done, Julie is the one. She is a wonderful person and realtor, and you will not regret choosing her to help you find or sell your home!"
- Jamie S, Home Seller
"Julie is literally the best! She was hopeful our house would do well on the market and gave us a time line of 45 days start to finish and we ended up closing in 41! She's so helpful throughout the whole process. She goes above and beyond and truly tries to make it the best experience even when there are little hiccups in the road. We can't wait for her to help us find our new home!"
- Amber Manheim, Home Seller & Home Buyer

Julie's commitment and devotion to selling our property were apparent at every stage. Her professionalism, honesty, and friendly demeanor made it feel like we were working with a trusted confidant than merely an agent.
We appreciate the extra effort Julie invested, including her support to the buyer's agent, which truly contributed to the success of this journey. Julie's exceptional service and unwavering commitment have left an indelible mark on us. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Julie's services to anyone seeking a dependable and top-tier real estate agent.

- Mr Cogito, Home Seller
"We recently lost our mom. Julie was referred to us when we started talking about needing to sell her home. She was a God send. Having to deal with 5 siblings living in 2 different states, she took the reins, made a plan and listed the home. Knowing what we were going through, she showed kindness, compassion and (definitely) patience when it came to answering all of our questions. She was always available to speak to. If we had to leave a message, she would get right back to us..
The first day the home was shown, everyone that looked at it made an offer. By the second day an offer was accepted. Julie made sure the whole process ran smoothly for those of us here and our out of state siblings.
Julie is a true professional. She's an expert, very knowledgeable in her field. I would not sell another home without her.
Thank you Julie."
- Libby Wahl, Home Seller
"My experience with Julie was nothing short of exceptional, particularly as our home purchase was unique - we bought our house without seeing it in person. This process required an extraordinary amount of trust, and Julie proved to be utterly trustworthy and reliable.
Julie's ability to understand our needs, even from a distance, was remarkable. She provided detailed insights and thorough information about each property, ensuring that we were well-informed throughout the decision-making process. Her communication skills are excellent, keeping us updated and addressing our concerns promptly.
What truly sets Julie apart is her commitment to her clients' best interests. She navigated the complexities of our situation with ease, providing guidance and support every step of the way. Her professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market were evident, making a potentially stressful process smooth and successful.
Thank you Julie!

"In my 3 times moving, I have never seen such professionalism with Julia Childers my realtor as with anyone else. She went to bat for me numerous times, she followed through right to the end of the closing without giving it to someone else to take over. She followed up making sure I understood everything and went above and beyond any realtor I have ever seen. She was definitely a God send! I would recommend her to anyone who wishes to sell or buy a new home. Thank you Julia! Sincerely Jim Bretes"
- James Bretes, Home Buyer
"I worked with Julie buying my first home. We used a VA loan and Julie knew exactly what to do. She is very knowledgeable, informative, attentive, and was available anytime I needed her. I moved from out of state, and Julie made it easy and stress free. I would highly recommend her. I fractured T12 in my back in 2009 for the second time. I was diagnosed with a panic disorder, adjustment disorder, depression and anxiety. It was later consolidated as PTSD. I have a difficult time sleeping and trusting. Julie worked around my schedule and made sure I was taken care of. I can't articulate how proud I am to have had her as my Agent. I would trust her with the people I care most about in life. She is the agent you're looking for."

"My family and I started looking for a home in Hillsdale County and became overwhelmed with how unpredictable and radically moving the market was. We found Julie via a home we liked (it had already sold) and from day one she has went out of her way to answer questions, make calls, and meet us on days we could make the journey to look at homes. She has been supportive and positive since day one. We found what we wanted and are so excited to be there. I can't imagine anyone being a better person to have on the journey of buying a home. She's a great realtor and a great person!"
