COOL, CALM AND COLLECTED, RISING STAR JULIAN KIRSCHENBAUM REVEALS HIS NO-STRESS ATTITUDE TOWARD HELPING HIS CLIENTS BUY AND SELL THEIR HOMES.

If you ask Julian Kirschenbaum what he likes best about being a real estate agent, you’ll receive an answer that relays a clear understanding of why he’s been nominated as one of Boulder County Real Producer’s Rising Stars.

“What I like best is removing any stress my clients may be feeling. I like to calm my nervous clients, putting myself in their shoes and simplifying the process for them.” He adds, “I specialize in stress-free transactions.”

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Julian chose CU Boulder for his undergraduate education. After serving as a ski instructor in Roaring Fork and working in sales in Aspen, “I got the skiing out of my system and went to California for law school, but I gravitated back to Boulder County afterward. I knew that it was the place for me,” he happily states.

THE PULL OF REAL ESTATE

Even with a law degree from California Western School of Law, the allure of the real estate world was always tempting to Julian, especially because he grew up with real estate being the family business back in Ohio. “I could not shake it,” he says. “It was always lingering.”

And linger it did. Relenting and obtaining his real estate license in 2013, he has been doing what he loves for ten years. Selling real estate out of Compass in Longmont, he has been privileged to be closely aligned with Realtor and mentor Krista Koth, also of the Longmont Compass office. “Krista is a superhero,” he declares.

When asked about his favorite type of client, he delivers a broad answer that exemplifies his calm, patient and focused demeanor. “I like all the different personalities and types, everything from first-time homebuyers to savvy buyers. I try to stay connected to them long-term. There’s no ideal client across the board, but multifamily came naturally.”

PROOF

As far as a favorite client success story goes, Julian holds a special gratitude for all his repeat clients. “Real estate changes people’s lives,” he explains. “They have more mobility, and you get to see them accomplish their goals. They start a family in a small house and move up to a larger house. It’s very rewarding to watch the trajectory.”

FAMILY LIFE AND RELAXING

Outside of his real estate schedule, Julian enjoys the classic Colorado family life. Fortunate to grow up alongside his wife back in Cleveland, they have a complete family of two boys, ages one and five, and two girls, ages six and eleven. His family is active in supporting the Boulder Valley Waldorf School in Niwot, which his children attend, and they’ve also supported the Greenhouse Scholars and Salud charities in the past.

With four young kids and Gala the Bernedoodle in tow, he does his best to keep them from bouncing off the walls. “We live the Colorado lifestyle. We ride bikes and go camping and swimming in the summer. We also like to go to music festivals, like Rock and Rails in Niwot, Blues and Brews in Telluride and the jazz festivals in Aspen.”

An NHL hockey fan, Julian loves to watch the Colorado Avalanche, especially due to the lack of a hockey team in Cleveland where he spent his youth. And while he’s a fan of books on business and self-help books, he also loves to read books by author Cormac McCarthy.

COMMITTED TO REAL ESTATE

A career in real estate can be exceptionally gratifying, worthwhile and profitable, but it’s not always for the faint of heart. Dedication and a thorough knowledge of the craft are highly warranted. Regarding the advice he would give anyone considering a career in real estate, his thoughtful reply is “Take your time and give it a lot of thought. Showing up, being committed, and having a long-term outlook, year upon year is important. Give it serious thought.”

Throughout the years, the world of buying and selling real estate has benefited from favorable seasons and endured not-so-favorable times. Commenting on the current path of real estate, Julian says, “A hotseller’s market was the norm since I started in 2013, and today we see a more balanced market,allowing full-time, more experienced agents to shine.”

REAL ESTATE CHANGES PEOPLE’S LIVES.

THEY HAVE MORE MOBILITY, AND YOU GET TO SEE THEM ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOALS. THEY START A FAMILY IN A SMALL HOUSE AND MOVE UP TO A LARGER HOUSE. IT’S VERY REWARDING TO WATCH THE TRAJECTORY.
