A native of Chicago, Julie graduated from the University of Miami in 1988 and has remained in South Florida ever since. She happily resides in Lighthouse Point with her husband and two sons.She is also very active in the community and with several local charitable organizations including Food for the Poor, Lighthouse A Glow, the Lighthouse Point Keeper's Day Committee, Chamber of Commerce and holds and has held several positions at the Greater Ft. Lauderdale Realtors.
Julie Adler Mahfood, a Realtor with Campbell & Rosemurgy's Pompano Beach office, understands that excellent communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. She has used her communication skills to emerge as one of Lighthouse Point's premier Realtors and frequently referred real estate professionals.
Julie attributes her success as a Realtor to her desire to understand and focus on each client's unique needs and financial profile.With this knowledge to guide her, she has been able to deliver top results for her clients and generate an impressive list of long-term customers and referral sources.
Julie says, "Honesty is always at the forefront of my dealings, and I've learned that in order to be successful in this business, integrity and an excellent reputation among peers and clients are absolutely crucial."
Her main goal is to make sure that each client she serves is completely satisfied and will refer her to their friends and family with complete confidence.
"A referral is the best compliment that a Realtor can receive—keeping that in mind, I treat every client with the honesty and respect they deserve from the very beginning," said Mahfood."Long-term success in the real estate business is not only a result of transactions, but also the creation of long-term relationships."
In today's tight market, buyers and sellers understand that choosing a real estate agent with the proper knowledge of the market, tools, skills and experience can be as challenging as the home buying or selling process itself.
Kiku Martinson, Director of Real Estate for Campbell & Rosemurgy, feels that Julie's success is a result of her background in marketing and superior people skills.
"Julie's education and extensive marketing background provide her with the knowledge she needs to gain the most exposure for her listings and over-produce results for her clients," said Martinson."Julie knows it simply isn't good enough to list a property on MLS in today's market...you have to do everything possible to gain exposure for each property to secure top price."
Julie feels it's extremely important for her to have an open line of communication with her clients and to be available whenever they need her. Julie says, "My cell phone is always on and my door is open!"
Julie's client portfolio is very diverse, ranging from condominiums and multi-million dollar single-family homes to commercial properties and land.
"I find it exciting to work in so many different facets of this industry," said Julie."I never want to limit myself by helping clients purchase or sell only one particular type of property. One becomes a better rounded professional as a result of covering many different aspects of the market."
Alan and Trish Kind, two of Mahfood's current clients, feel that she has gone above and beyond their expectations.
"It seems as though Julie is two steps ahead of us at all times, doing everything that she can to make sure this entire process is smooth and less stressful for us," said Alan Kind."Julie's sense of urgency with each and every task is simply amazing; she gets things done quickly and efficiently."
"With some other agents you are constantly fighting to get in touch with them," said Trish Kind."Julie provides us with weekly reports including Web site response rates and has been here for us every step of the way."
"My success in the local market is a result of my love for the area and my ability to sell the unique lifestyle we all enjoy," says Mahfood. "There is no greater reward than serving my friends and neighbors in Lighthouse Point and surrounding areas."
