Meet the East Cobb Realtor who turns clients into fans

How do you build a 25-year career as a top-producing Realtor in the Atlanta area? For Julie Brittain of Berkshire Hathaway, the answer has been “one happy client at a time."

• “Responsive, hard-working, and attentive to the details”
• “Wonderful to work with — like having a friend on the ‘inside’”
• “A top agent in the metro area — highly recommended!”
• “Extremely knowledgeable”
• “Amazing negotiation skills”
• “Head and shoulders above her peers”

In a challenging and complex real estate market like today’s, you need an experienced Realtor with deep knowledge of the local market and a proven track record of getting deals done.

Whether you’re a buyer, seller or investor, Julie’s expertise in marketing, staging, negotiating, the East Cobb residential market — even the local lending landscape — will have you giving rave reviews as well.
