Julie & Co. Launches by Norra Reyes Saratoga TODAY
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Julie Bonacio, Vice President of Bonacio Construction, Inc., has launched her own real estate business, Julie and Company Realty, LLC, which opened this month at 18 Division Street, Suite 314. The new realty company will represent all new construction builds of Bonacio Construction. “Now we make it [Bonacio Construction] even more full service,” said Bonacio. “We have a development arm, a management company, and now a real estate company.” The small, intimate, boutiquestyle agency will have about a dozen agents, some of whom are already on board, handling both residential and commercial properties. “It’s a beautiful work environment,” said Bonacio. “We have
five highly experienced, talented agents now, and we’re hiring more. Anyone interested should give Camille a call.” Camille Horde has been selected as the manager for Julie and Company Realty. She recently retired from managing Realty USA for 25 years. “When I heard she was retiring, I reached out to her and feel so fortunate that she said yes,” said Bonacio. “She’s a wealth of knowledge and will handle the day-to-day ins and outs expertly.” The new realty company will utilize Bonacio Construction’s inhouse counsel, development, bookkeeping, and reception staff. West Side Management will handle property maintenance and winterizing homes. Bonacio said they worked with Fingerpaint Marketing for naming and branding. Bonacio brings a wealth of experience to her new role. She will retain her position as Vice
President of Bonacio Construction, and she worked as a realtor with Roohan Realty for 15 years. “I have wonderful respect for Tom [Roohan] and his family,” said Bonacio. “We ended on a positive note.” When asked about her thoughts on the current market given the volatility in the last decade, she said it was as if the whole world stopped spinning when the market was hit hard during that downturn. “But you stay focused,” she said, “and the market has come back strong in the last few years. The condo market really grew in the last two years. Condos are here to stay. It’s a lifestyle more and more people are choosing. You want to downsize, simplify your life, travel and just shut the doors with no worries.” She said between condos and mixed-use, she has been

very successful matching tenants and commercial occupants with new space. “We are down to the last handful of condos at Park Place,” she said. “And we have the new development of townhomes soon at Meadowdale in Colonie. With Julie and Company, we’ll be able to provide help to our repeat
clients, and we’re already getting word of mouth referrals. It’s reputation and great service. I love helping people find the home of their dreams.” For more information about Julie and Company, LLC, call 518-350-SOLD (7653). The new website will be launching soon at www.JulieCoRealty.com.
