“Real estate isn’t just about buying and selling,” she says. “It’s about showing up, being honest, and truly helping people navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives.”
From Buffalo to the Rockies
Originally from the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area of New York, Julie Trunzo and her husband took a leap of faith in 2005 when a career opportunity brought them west to Colorado. What started as a practical decision quickly became the best move of their lives. By June, they had settled into a new state where they didn’t know a single person, but they knew it was home.
“We love it. We definitely miss family, but we’re here for the long haul,” Julie says with a smile. While their extended family remains in Buffalo, she and her husband have fully embraced Colorado life. The beauty, the people, the lifestyle—Boulder captured their hearts, and they’ve never looked back.
“It’s gorgeous. We really enjoy the active lifestyle,” she raves. “I’ve been wondering for 20 years if you ever start to take the beautiful scenery for granted – it hasn’t happened yet!”
Julie’s early career was in international business — traveling to French and Spanish-speaking countries to help companies prepare for U.S. Customs audits. But after starting a family and stepping away from travel, she found herself drawn to a new challenge: real estate.
A “less than stellar” homebuying experience in New York followed by a fantastic one inspired her to do it better. When her youngest daughter started kindergarten, Julie jumped in.
“I got into real estate before the crash,” she says. “It was the right time,” she laughs, recalling the early days of real estate.
Her first break? Writing and submitting 80 to 100 sight-unseen offers each week for a local investor — by fax. “It was a little crazy, but I learned a lot really quickly, with no emotions involved. Either the

When she’s not working, you’ll find Julie enjoying long walks, hikes, or planning her next trip. “Travel resets everything. And somehow, the moment I book a vacation, clients come out of the woodwork,” she jokes.
The Tru Difference
Heart. Hustle. Humor. That’s the magic mix behind Julie Trunzo’s real estate empire. She’s not chasing closings — she’s building lifelong connections.
In a world of agents fighting for the next deal, Julie flips the script. Her clients don’t just come back — they send their friends, family, and neighbors, too.
Why? Because she’s real. She’s sharp. And she shows up with genuine care and fierce follow-through. With Julie, it’s not just business — it’s personal.
