From the get go she set high expectations for herself and then she exceeded them. Her experience was invaluable (handling last minute paperwork which is how we were the winning offer on my current home). She made sure to answer any question I might have and in the few occasions it was not her expertise, she got me in touch with the right person. She's well connected and the people she recommends (the whole time I was free to work with others) are great as well. Julie is the kind of person who has made an art out of being a Realtor (read her mission statement), she put my needs as a buyer before hers which also meant taking the time to understand what they were. Also she saved me from making a couple of uneducated decisions. Julie always had time for me and was prompt getting back to me. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:35:55 -0600 review_1816525_11289 Julie acted as our buyer agent for our Downtown Chicago condo search. She exceeded my expectations at every turn. Here are a few high-lights - During our initial meeting she prepared an amazing byer folder that included explinations on all aspects of the buying process including references for lawyers and mortgage companies. We ended up using most of Julie's references as they were very competitive and proffessional - Attentive: Julie listened very carefully and produced high quality homes for our MLS review. Once we made a comment about a home characterstic, she did not override it for her searches, at least no without noting that it was inconsistent with our requirements and explaining why she felt it was worth including in the search. - Once we narrowed down our "must visit" homes. She created "high-energy" home visits that allowed us to see 15 homes each weekend day. Our closing went off without a hitch and we now own a beautiful condo on Belmont. Julie Rocks! http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:18:05 -0600 review_1816525_8339 I placed my condo on the market right before it REALLY took a dive. I live in another state; not only did I have tenants, but got new ones 2x. The process was long, but I knew Julie would sell my condo, even in a very tough market. She keeps abreast of current market conditions & events that affect both real estate and mortgages. She is technologically current, and takes advantage of all the internet marketing possibilities. In my transaction, she always put my best interest first, & handled it with diplomacy, honesty & superb integrity. There were some tough moments, but she remained calm, cool & classy at all times. Julie is the best! My lawyer was also very impressed with her & her real estate savvy. If I ever buy in Chicago again, she will be 1 of the first calls I make. Do not hesitate to hire her; you will LOVE her. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:59:20 -0700 review_1816525_8087 Julie was a great realtor to work with – and helped me get a great price and manage the sales process under challenging circumstances. After several years overseas with my career, I decided to sell my condo back home since I’d outgrown it. Because I was still overseas, I needed an agent who would go beyond the “everyday stuff” to protect my interests and make the transaction happen smoothly. Her advice on pricing my unit was spot on and not only was Julie great at handling everything, but she anticipated issues before they became problems. Even my tenant had great things to say about her…so friendly and warm she has the gift that those with whom she speaks have a special joy in listening to her and feel completely confident in the experience. Following this experience she has ****isted me and serveral of my friends and family members in the direction of purchasing of residential properties. I recommend her highly, she is intellectual agent on target with the markets and the consumer. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:03:31 -0600 review_1816525_5657 Julie was extremely knowledgable and made the home-buying process very easy and understandable. The "manual" that she put together for us is chock-full of information that covers every step of the way. While it took us months to get into our first home, I never felt that Julie was frustrated or bored with us. In fact, she was very sympathetic and kept us motivated to keep going. On walk-thrus, Julie offered helpful advice and pointed out many things that we as first-time home buyers did not know. Overall, we are very very pleased that we found Julie and that she made our entire experience so exciting and easy. THANKS! http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:29:22 -0600 review_1816525_5647 Listing my place to sell: Julie did a great job getting my place on the market and doing the necessary background work to ensure that my sale was listed at an appropriate market value. Buy: Julie did a good job in quickly working with us and the seller of the place/agent to get this done. Follow-through on my sale: Where I think services fell short were followup and communication throughout the completion of the sale of my place. I was forced into constant contact with my buyers lender, agent and lawyer as things were falling apart quickly. I could have used ****istance in this process as my lawyer often mentioned that my realtor should be doing this or should have been aware. Once Julie was aware of what was going on she stepped in but it was too late at that point because it was so late in the process. In the end it worked out so that was good. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:07:10 -0600 review_1816525_5364 In moving to Chicago from out of town, my fiancée and I were very nervous about buying the "right" home, especially since we were first time home buyers. After vetting a number of agents, we landed on Julie and were sold instantly. Besides holding our hands and supplying us with copious amounts of information, Julie took the time and effort to make sure we got exactly the house we were looking for. Most other agents would have gotten frustrated and given up on us with all the waffling we went through, but Julie was never anything but encouraging. When it came time to make an offer on the house, Julie actually encouraged us to make a LOWER offer than we had planned. She is tremendously professional, friendly, likable, helpful, and ultimately useful in the age of the internet. I would recommend Julie to any person considering buying a house in Chicago. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:01:26 -0600 review_1816525_4858 We met Julie by a referral. She's not the 1st RE person we dealt with in Chicago. I was relocated from New York and only had 5 days to "check out" the area. During our visit, we met a RE person who showed us around "a liitle" . When we returned to NY, I contacted her to ask for help in finding an apartment to live in until I sold my home back east. She replyed that she "didn't do apartments" and mailed me a newpaper. That's when we met Julie over the phone. She ran with it and found my wife and I and 2 (small) dogs an apartment in Arlington Heights near my job. Who knows where we would have ended up with a newspaper as a guide. Julie spent the next several months with us and showed us the area. We had the luxury of some time until we made our choice. Julie showed us Port Barrington near the Fox River. We loved the area and made our choice of neighborhood. We ended up purchasing a home in a sub-divison called Riverwalk. Julie is the best and the only person we ever offer as a referral. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:00:51 -0600 review_1816525_4068 I have used Julie to purchase a number of properties and recommend her highly. She is well informed, does her research for each home purchase/sale, and sets a high standard for other realtors to follow. If you want an agent that will go the extra mile for you and does what is in the best interest of her client, hire Julie. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Wed, 06 Feb 2008 09:56:47 -0700 review_1816525_3313 Julie is the most professional realtor that we have delt with. She made us feel as if we were her only clients. Julie spent countless hours on the phone, email and in person helping us purchase our home.She is a tough negociator and will always look out for your best intrest. We will use Julie in all of real estate transactions and continue to refer our friends to her. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Thu, 04 Oct 2007 10:05:19 -0600 review_1816525_1876 As first time home buyers, my husband and I were nervous and not sure what to expect. Julie had answers to all of our questions and was always available to us when we needed her. I could not imagine going through that process without her. We will definitely be working with Julie again in the future. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Mon, 24 Sep 2007 06:58:02 -0600 review_1816525_1771 I've worked with Julie twice now and she's been great. She sold my last condo in 3-days, and helped me find two places that were very "me". I' ve recommended her to 4 of my friends,and they have all equally successful experiences with her! http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Sun, 23 Sep 2007 04:45:51 -0600 review_1816525_1760 We were extremely pleased with Julie's performance during the selling of our condo. Julie was a referral from my brother, who was equally impressed with her performance during the buying process, and could not say enough great things about his experience. So, when it came time to sell our condo, we went back to Julie and she handled the entire transaction as a true professional. My spouse & I are previous homeowners and have dealt with numerous realtors; nobody even comes close to the level of communication possessed by Julie. She constantly provided status updates throughout the process and gave us her undivided attention. Julie went the extra mile by giving our property maximum exposure; not easy considering our condo was on a less-traveled one-way street. Not only is Julie knowledgable, she is tenacious when dealing with the other parties...something you WILL definitely appreciate. If you are looking for a no-nonsense realtor who actually listens; you will not be disappointed. http://www.incredibleagents.com/real-estate-agents/IL/Chicago/Coldwell-Banker-Residential-Brokerage/1816525/Julie-Woodward-Trenker-ABR-ASP-CRS-CNS-RFS.html Tue, 05 Jun 2007 20:15:24 -0600 review_1816525_846
