I was looking for a real estate agent but didn't know anyone in the Nashville area to refer one to me. I looked online and found Julie Norfleet listed in an article about the best agents in Nashville... and now I can say from experience that Julie is great! I was relocating to Nashville but couldn't move until I sold my house in another state. I visited Nashville in March to "just look" at houses with Julie but ended up falling in love with a model home. It was a little too big but the builder was in the process of designing a home just a little smaller that was the perfect size for us. Julie walked us through buying from a builder and explained the process of the contingency contract that we signed. The big curve ball was that we didn't have a chance to come back to Nashville to see the house before it was built so Julie was our eyes the whole time. She helped us pick out the lot and sent a few pictures as it was being built. It was a crazy idea to buy a house without actually seeing it (except for the floorplan) but that was the curve ball we had to deal with in our situation and Julie was willing to come along for the ride! We did the whole process through phone and email! I'm glad I was able to find someone who could keep up with all of my calls and emails! Julie also handled a problem that came up the day before our closing that I didn't even know about. In the end, we found our dream home! Now I have an agent that I can refer others to. Amanda Ances
Dear Julie: I wanted to drop you a note and thank you for all you did as we sold our home and purchased our condo. You went above and beyond so many times and in so many ways. As we listed our house for sale, you paid attention to every detail. In the midst of the busy holiday season, you were right there on the spot showing our house, writing contracts, meeting with inspectors and walking us through every step. You made what could have been an extremely stressful situation a quite enjoyable experience. I think the thing that impressed me the most was the “after closing” surprise. Although your check had been collected and you were officially “off duty”, when a problem arose you were right there for us. You never missed a beat and went to bat for us immediately. What a pure joy it was to work with you. Thanks again for treating us as if we were the only clients you had. Sincerely, Rusty and Lea Ann Owens We had the privilege of working with Julie on both a sell-side and buy-side transaction. Her professionalism, creativity, and strong marketing instincts made for a smooth process, and turned what is normally a stressful experience into one that was more than manageable. Julie's persistence and tenacity also served us well when we were negotiating with the seller's agent, and she got us the best deal imaginable. It was a pleasure working with Julie, and we will definitely use her again when we sell our home and buy another. Patrick & Lisa Spear
We recently sold and purchased houses with Julie as our realtor. With the housing market in such turmoil, we were concerned about being able to make this move possible. Julie did an excellent job marketing our house and within the first month we had 16 showings and an offer. A week later we had made an offer on our new home. Julie worked her magic throughout the closing process, including a few surprises along the way. We closed both houses on time and moved directly from the old to the new. I highly recommend Julie to anyone selling or buying a home. Thanks Julie! Tom & Brenda Eddlemon Julie was a pleasure to work with, especially in a sluggish market. Our home was in a remote location with no drive-by visibility and she used creative marketing techniques to bring attention to our property in her efforts to get it sold. She has a down-to-earth personality and is most reasonable in dealing with the peculiarities of selling an unusual property. She is savy in using the latest technology in her marketing efforts as well as "old fashioned" face-to-face networking. Selling a home in a depressed market in a remote location is not an easy task, and she got the job done. We did not hesitate when we connected our friends with Julie to assist them in their move from out of state. Thanks Julie! Madeleine & Tim Fouts
We listed our house with Julie in winter (2010) during a down real estate market, and in a subdivision where many similar houses had been for sale for months. We anticipated a long slow sales process, but with Julie's advice about preparing our house for sale and her marketing strategy, we sold after being on the market for only six days. Julie's promotion resulted in 14 showings during that time. She also helped us find our new place, and did an outstanding job for us. We were not entirely sure about which area we wanted to move to, but Julie's in-depth knowledge of Nashville's neighborhoods was a great asset during our search. She found us a place we love in an area that we did not know existed. She was insightful, intuitive, and unflappable throughout the sale and purchase process. She brought us a bottle of wine when we were stressed out by the details! We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone selling or buying in the Nashville area. Dr. Aaron Didier & Dr. Irina Didier
We just sold our house with Julie Norfleet. In late Autumn - in a sluggish housing market - we got a full-price offer in two weeks! Selling a home for the first time can be a daunting experience. Throw in some hurdles from lenders and buyers, and it becomes a very stressful experience. Thanks to Julie, selling our home was a breeze. Her marketing strategy is unsurpassed - our house looked great online and in print. And when a challenge would arise during the sale (as it always will), Julie's experience, tenacity and competence gave us the assurance that our interests were secure. We simply would never work with another agent in the Nashville real estate market. Paul & Alyson Hart
Julie is simply an incredible realtor. From the minute you meet her, she makes you feel comfortable and relaxed as if you've known each other for years. Julie exudes confidence, and she has reason to - her extensive knowledge of the greater Nashville area and her endless connections made her a perfect fit as our realtor. We first hired Julie as our buyer's agent in September 2009 when making an offer on a short sale home. She guided us through the complex process and stayed with us step by step, even as we later decided to withdraw the offer due to delays from the seller's bank, and we started our home search all over again. As we rode our emotional roller coaster, Julie never lost faith and kept us grounded. Always accessible and upbeat, Julie demonstrates care for her clients that goes far beyond what you would expect from a realtor. As the listing agent selling our home, she developed and executed a staging and marketing strategy that generated a huge amount of interest and helped sell our home in just 16 DAYS!! In fact, we sold so quickly that we were homeless for a short time. Never faltering in her high energy level and ability to work around our crazy schedules, Julie dedicated herself to finding us a fabulous house, and she delivered! With the business partners Julie selected, both closings were a breeze. By and far Julie exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely recommend her to everyone we know!

I began the process of selling my home 2 years ago in April 2008. My first realtor listed the property for 6 months with no offers. My second realtor listed the property for an entire year with no offers. Julie listed my property at the first of October 2009. She did a brief walk through and was very honest with me about things she felt were holding my property back. I spent less than $700 making some very minor changes. Within 2 weeks I had an offer. Unfortunately, the person got cold feet. However the condo was shown more times in the first 30 days than it had been honestly in the previous year and a half. Just more than 60 days after Julie listed my property, we got another offer, agreed and closed on January 26th 2010. Julie was fantastic during the negotiation process and made sure I made the most money possible on the sale of my home. She went above and beyond the call of duty in every aspect of the process. She was professional, understanding and honest with me through every stage. We just sold our house with Julie Norfleet.

Paul & Alyson Hart Julie has an amazing real estate eye for what people are looking for and additionally what may be holding them back. The fact that my house had been on the market for an entire year and a half and she sold it within 60 days says it all. I am forever grateful to Julie and forever appreciative of how she treated me throughout the process. Julie was also my realtor during the process of buying a new home. Again, her professionalism and understanding of my concerns were stellar. She was flexible in working around my schedule to ensure I was able to look at any property that came available. I have a new home now which I love and couldn't have done it without her! I would, will and have recommended Julie to everyone I know!!!! Cari A. Reagan Julie was our real estate agent when we moved back to Nashville from living out of state for several years. We had a limited amount of time to view and select a house. Julie was efficient in her selections, quick to assess our reactions and made all necessary changes quickly to keep us on task. She provided detailed information before each home which was VERY helpful. Our closing went smoothly thanks to her detailed orchestration and thoroughness. I'd recommend her to any one who asks. Thomas & Ellen Carlton
My fiancé and I met Julie at an open house last year when my brother was looking for his first home. She was so helpful and friendly that my brother shortly after used her as his realtor to buy a home. So when it came my turn to buy a house I knew who to call. We started looking for a house in November and a month later found the perfect home. We did not give Julie much to work with when finding us a home with giving only one 'perfect' neighborhood. We are so happy with our house and the fair price we feel we got. I have to say the most helpful part of the experience was all the contact names Julie gave us for mortgage lender, and inspector. As a first time home buyer that was so helpful to not have to find our own people. We knew we trusted Julie so we would trust the people she reccomends. Again we are so happy with our experience. We are not moving soon but when we do it will be Julie who helps us. Brian and Kristen
Buying a home can be very stressful and this was the case for me. First I had never purchased a home before so I had no clue what to do and second I was fairly new to Tennessee and didn't know the area very well. Then I met Julie. Julie is a wonderful Realtor and walks you through the home buying process step by step. She gets to know you and exactly what you are looking for. She spent many days with me going from house to house and then going back to houses. She gives you her honest opinion on a home and is extremely patient to keep looking till you find the house YOU love. I was very indecisive and nervous about the entire process. However, Julie made it very easy for me. I always had a hundred questions and she was always there to answer them for me. When I am ready to upgrade to my next home Julie will definitely be my first call. I HIGHLY recommend working with Julie Norfleet as your Realtor!! Thanks Julie for all you did for me! I love my new home and am extremely happy! Colleen McDonald
Dear Julie, Well, I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since we closed on my new home! I have to tell you, as a first-time home owner, I remember my friends and family telling me how BIG of a deal it was to find the right realtor to work with. Someone who is professional, knowledgeable, willing to go to bat for you, and a dream to work with. They made it sound like it was so hard to find a great realtor!! Well, you were all of those great things and so much more. I always felt like you gave me your best 24/7. Whenever I had a question or concern, you were available for me with a smile on your face--even if was early Sunday morning! You also had answers for me--or took the time to find out the answers and get back to me. Not only did you facilitate me through finding the kind of home I wanted for my family, but you also helped me find the exact location which was most suitable for us. I really felt like you took the time to get to know what it was that I wanted, not what you wanted to sell that day. And something that I really appreciated was how at ease you made me feel about the whole process--from the first day we started looking to the very last day we closed. Your expertise in this field was such a comfort to me. Thank you so much for the time and attention you gave to me during one of the most special (and scary) times of my life! Sincerely, Michelle Anderson (Happy new home-owner)
Julie, Just a short note to tell you how much we appreciated your help in purchasing our new home in Nashville. As much as we love our home, we also loved our experience dealing with someone so caring and professional!
We had lived in our previous home for twenty eight years and dreaded moving. We had heard so many horror stories about real estate agents that, frankly, we were very apprehensive. However, Julie, you were our life line. We truly feel that you went above and beyond. You walked us through every detail and never failed to get back to us with our (many, many) questions.
Your not just our real estate agent but, now, our dear friend. Thank you, thank you, Julie, we couldn't have done it without you! Fondly, Barb & Don Meyer P.S. Our grandchildren thank you, too!!!
Our house was not the typical sell. Unbeknownst to us when we put it on the market, we would have termite, radon and mold issues before the sale was final. We could not have made it through the process without Julie. Not only hosting the open houses, meeting potential buyers at odd hours, and staying on top of the other realtors who showed our house, she also had to be an expert on termites, mold and radon. She was great at coordinating all the inspections that had to take place, and being there to explain everything to us in the end. Julie was wonderful to work with, and during a slow market, she was instrumental in getting our house sold quickly. I would highly recommend Julie Norfleet to anyone, buying or selling a home, it was a great experience. Susan and Mike Garrison
I met Julie while she was an agent for the seller of a home. She was upfront, honest and easy to work with. It was six months later when I found a home I was interested in, found her number, picked up the phone and called her on a Saturday morning. She rearranged her schedule, we walked the house and wrote a contract that day. Being a first time buyer, I had numerous questions, however Julie was able to educate and walk me through it all, making me feel confident in my decision. She remained in constant contact through that weekend, working diligently on the negotiations. On Monday afternoon we had a signed contract, and we moved in three weeks later. Julie has the innate ability that allows you to immediately trust her and know she is looking out for your best interests, not just the next sale. She takes time to learn about what you want, and doesn't try to shove you at homes your aren't interested in. I have no doubt that this buying experience was made easier and more enjoyable due to her efforts and support. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Christine Pedalino
When we started looking for a home we made the mistake of not hiring a realtor and it was overwhelming. After we chose Julie as our realtor our home buying experience completely changed. She is knowledgeable about multiple areas, school systems, builders quality and neighborhoods. She was mindful of our budget and our needs in our first home. We couldn't be more satisfied with Julie and the experience that we had in working with her in buying our home. Michael & Amy Gregg |
