Julie Barlier

International Experience. Local Expertise.

Empire Realtor, Julie Barlier, may have grown up in California, but her life experience stretches far beyond U.S. borders.

After studying abroad in France, Julie moved to Paris, where she lived, married, and raised her three children over her 20 year stay. Naturally interested in real estate, she acquired industry knowledge initially from buying and selling several properties in Europe, providing her with hands on transactional experience before attaining her license.

so I had no preconceived ideas. I door knocked, attended numerous trainings and extra classes, and worked with great coaches and mentors. “That challenging period really shaped my work ethic, and consequently I never take any client for granted. When business comes my way, I always appreciate the opportunity.”

Seven years later, Julie has established a sound reputation among the real estate community for her accountable, conscientious approach that’s rooted in integrity.

“I go the extra mile for my clients. If I don’t know something, I find out, and I make sure I come back with the right answer,” she says. “I do my best to be emotionally available as well, to really listen, understand, and be sensitive to my clients’ concerns and needs, and then to address those needs in the best possible way.” _____________________

When she’s not sprucing up homes, Julie enjoys spending time with Xavier, her husband of 25 years, as well as her three children, and miniature schnauzer, Bolt. Her eldest, Emilie, 23, keeps life exciting by working as an animal keeper at Disney Animal Kingdom in Florida. Her son, Roland, 21, currently studies at McGill University in Canada, and her youngest, Anna, 18, will be attending community college before heading off to Florida to be part of the Disney University program.

Julie also continues to give back to the schools her children have greatly benefited from by serving as the Real Estate Chair for Lafayette Partners in Education.

“I donate a portion of each transaction to this organization.

It’s about giving back to these schools, because the excellent education they provide is what continues to draw people from all over to this amazing community.”

By Kimberly Gomes, HomeFolio Media Writer

“My clients of different nationalities feel at ease with me. There is a level of communication and understanding we share.”

Upon returning to California in 2002, Julie moved to Lafayette, where she embarked on a new chapter in a region she feels lucky to have landed in.

“We’re blessed to live in an area that’s accessible to so many great places. Whether it’s Napa, Muir Woods, or San Francisco, it’s such a little gem,” she says. “My friends who visit from Europe say ‘This is the California dream we hear about.

Fantastic weather, beautiful surroundings and an amazing location close to everything!’”

Unlike those who were born and raised locally, Julie built her network from scratch, initially through volunteer teaching at Lafayette’s renowned schools and reaching out to the community.

“I worked hard to build personal relationships because I truly didn’t know anyone when I arrived here. Getting involved in the community was a great way for me to meet people, but it didn’t happen overnight. It takes time to develop meaningful friendships,” she says.

A naturally driven person, Julie received her license in 2007 amidst the economic downturn, forcing her to learn the nuts and bolts of every aspect of the business.

“I really learned from the ground up. I was a new agent,

_____________________

Julie’s success also stems from her unique international sensibility and personal experience with significant transitions. “ I have a global perspective that I bring to my business. The experience of living, studying and traveling abroad for such an extended period of time has proved invaluable, particularly when working with people from other cultures,” says Julie.

“My clients of different nationalities feel at ease with me. There is a level of communication and understanding we share, which stems directly from that international experience.”

Her keen eye and heightened sense for detail also come in handy when preparing her listings. Aiming for perfection, Julie coordinates with her stagers to determine the best décor to enhance a home’s appeal, as well as advising clients as to which improvements and repairs will help them get the best price for their home.

This natural talent also makes its way into her personal life, balancing out her work life with creative hobbies.

“I love creating beauty around me, particularly through gardening and interior decorating. That’s what I enjoy. I have a strong sense of aesthetic.”
