Testimonials
"
We were very impressed with Julie! She was VERY professional. Prior to listing our home with Julie she gave us a free appraisal that ended up being spot on. She KNOWS the market.
During the pre-listing phase she gave us great insight into getting our home ready for our sale and our expectations. Her photographer took excellent pictures that were very complimentary to our home and yard.
We recieved an accepted in 3 days. Julie calmly walked the process through the whole way. She calmly helped find solutions to inspection concerns and resolved them to keep the process going. We closed in 39 days.
Julie was also very accessible for our questions and concerns. We could reach her and TALK to her ANY time...day, night, or weekend.
We would definitely recommend Julie if you need a qualified realtor that you can trust to sell your home or property.

Julie was so wonderful to work with. She got me in for a speedy showing which turned into a quick offer and listing! From showing to closing it was just 7 weeks and the transaction moved very smoothly the entire time! If you’re looking for a realtor in tune with the market and more importantly the community - she’s your gal!

I cannot recommend Julie at Next Home Realty high enough, From her quick responses, friendly and clear communications / explanations, posting my house and getting an offer in one day, through the closing procedure; everything went without a hitch.

We are extremely grateful for the support, communication, commitment and dedication they put in towards us purchasing a home and also the listing of our home and the sale of our home. They came across with flying colors in every aspect of the sale and purchase. There was never an issue in getting in contact with them for whatever need that happen to come up. I personally feel they went over and above for us. We would clearly recommend them for the purchase and sale of a home.

Jake did an amazing job as our realtor. His guidance and knowledge was so very helpful throughout the selling process. The time frame from listing the house with Jake to the closing date was only 22 days!! We are so glad that we chose Jake to sell our house. If you are looking for a realtor-choose Jake!!

Great working with this team. Very thorough in regards to all aspects of realty. The value of a realtor that looks out for you as a buyer or seller is worth it. Would never buy or sell without the expertise these two bring to the table. Thank you!!!

We worked with Jake to sell our house and were very satisfied. Jake is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He got us the most money for our house. This can be a stressful time selling our house and we could call and text him any questions we had and he always got back to us right away. He knows all the details of real estate, we appreciate him and he would be our first call if we need to buy or sell property!

We had the pleasure of working with Julie on the recent purchase of our cabin. She was excellent in every interaction, was always accommodating as we live a few hours away, and made the process incredibly smooth. I would work with Julie again without hesitation. Great experience!

I am very pleased with the salel Jake completed for me, even coming to my house in Sparta to complete the sale. He was very courteous and helpful, explaining in detail all the forms that needed signing. He kept me informed as the process proceeded and explained any questions I had. Definitely would give him a great recommendation.

Thank you so much Julie, for your part in the sale of our home in Neillsville. Your great reputation preceded you, and you certainly lived up to the high marks. Your advice and assistance, even before we enlisted you to sell the home, made our journey through this process simply enjoyable. And you found a wonderful couple to purchase the home, much to our satisfaction. Good luck and enjoyment as you continue with your business.

From the first contact with Julie to view a house I could tell she was interested in finding us a place we would like and could afford. She conducted herself in a very professional manner and showed a genuine interest in meeting our needs. Durning the whole buying and selling process Julie was very diligent in keeping us informed and up to date where the process was. I would highly recommend Julie and Jake. If we ever need a reactor again, I will use their services. I fell that we not only found a good reactor but have acquired a friend.

They did a great job. We could not have done it without Jake’s help.
Whatever may come up in the future, we would never think about using any realtors other than Jake & Julie.
Thanks again.

Jake is very aware of the market trends and gives you a great picture of what you can expect as you walk through the process.

Team Julie & Jake are both local homegrown realtors who really know their market & work hard to patiently meet the needs of home buyers and sellers. Julie goes above and beyond to help buyers/sellers feel comfortable with their decisions and understand the process from start to final closing. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others or use their expertise again for our home buying or selling needs.

Julie was very friendly and helpful prior to closing. She got us two extensions to closing when we needed them. Julie got the property boundaries marked and had diggers hotline come in and mark where power lines were underground. She did a very satisfactory job, we recommend her to others.

Jake did a wonderful job navigating the many hoops we had to go through when buying the new property and the sale of the old one! It was a long and sometimes bumpy road!

Julie, Jake & their team are the BEST! We had some pretty specific things we were looking for in ours search for the prefect home so it took longer than most, but this team were champs through it all. Julie reminded me numerous times, after an offer was not accepted on a property, that it just wasn't meant to be and the perfect house would come along. Well, she was right! Julie knew exactly what we were looking for and when she heard about a home that was soon to be listed, she told us to plan on looking at it that morning. Now, as I sit here enjoying the beautiful view from my new deck, I am so grateful for all that Julie and her team went through with us to find our perfect home!

Julie did a fantastic job assisting us with the sale of our property. She made the process as smooth as it could possibly be. With an accepted offer in days and closing just weeks after that we could not be any happier with the service we received. The communication was exceptional and we would recommend her to anyone in search of buying or selling their property.

From the first phone call to closing, I felt like I was the only client Julie had! She took so much time to answer questions, arrange showings, meet with me, and make recommendations. Julie has expertise in the real estate business that was extremely helpful when navigating purchase. Julie has a wonderful personality that made me feel comfortable. In my opinion, if you need a real estate agent, you need Julie Simek and NextHome Partners Neillsville.
