JULIE BAUMGARTNER JULIE SERVING SUCCESS
It’s said that the surest way to reach the goals you have in life is to establish them, write them down, and then reach them by dedicating yourself to the needs of others.
Julie Baumgartner is a prime example of that powerful truth.

As a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Pinnacle Group, Julie pours herself into achieving her clients’ goals. Through time, Julie has led a true life of service — helping to create success for those around her.
Exemplary Service
One of the most powerful forms of Julie’s service is the duty she performed on behalf of her nation as part of the U.S. Army.
When she retired in March 2022 from the service after 26 years, she had ascended to the rank of Command Sargent Major.
Without a doubt, Julie was always on the move — even from an early age.
“We moved a lot … my parents were flipping houses before it was called flipping,” she remembers.
“I always had an interest in interior design and the core foundation items of a home that give a home value. I’ve always looked at a home as an asset.”
First Steps
After high school, Julie went to college with the idea of teaching history.
“My parents had no intention of paying for college. My dad said, ‘You better join the army.’ I thought he was joking. One of the other things he said was, ‘You can’t be an MP, so guess what? I joined and became an MP. You can’t tell me I can’t do something,” she says with a smile.
Through her long and impactful military career, Julie served in the U.S. Army and the Army Reserves. Along the way, she was deployed twice to Iraq (from 2004 to 2005; and from 2017 to 2018), and she served at a prison in Iraq.
