Julie Locke- Buyer Agent For International Properties and Investments LLC
Julie has been with us for a few years now. Nestor has been after her to get her bio and photos to us so we could not just introduce her to everyone here on ActiveRain but also to fill up our Meet Our Agents pages on our websites.
Julie's very first real estate transaction after she passed her Florida exams was a buyer who put an offer in on one of our listings that was a short sale in Pembrooke Pines Florida. She was very new and did not have training support at the office she was with.
During the transaction we helped her along to understand each step of the short sale process to help her keep her buyers in the deal until closing. It was back in the day when not many people had even heard of a short sale much less know what to do with one and that included the lenders. Most agents back then were still thinking that they would never have to do a short sale:)that it was all going to pass over us like a cloud, quickly and with only a drizzle.
Julie and her husband Matt and their two teens live in Davie Florida. Julie is such a trooper and go-getter. When we did not have a buyers agent for Wellington she would drive up here, about an hours drive to service the buyers that needed to find a home in Wellington. She always is willing to help out.
Julie works with buyers in the Broward County and the northern parts of Miami/Dade counties.She also works with a lot of renters these days. She says that most of these renters are homeowners who lost their homes to foreclosures and now have to rent.
We are members of the Miami Realtors® board and belong to the Miami MLS. Julie helps us with our listings in Miami and Broward counties. She is never hesitant to go put up a sign or take off a lock box for Nestor. I do all the blogging and article writing for our company and Julie benefits from the leads we get from my blogging and website content and lead generation sites. This way she can pay attention to working with buyers and this increases her income because that is the highest and best use of her time, being with buyers.
We are busy, busy, busy and to bless the lives of other agents is one great feeling.
Matt, Julie's husband is a Sergeant with the Miami Police Department and has been serving in this capacity for over 30 years. He also enjoys martial arts and here is a photo of him being awarded his black belt. When Matt retires from the police force he is going to join Julie as her partner in real estate.
Julie was an elementary school teacher for over 30 years before becoming a real estate agent. It seems that teachers and psychologists make for very good real estate agents.
Julie and Matt have two great children, a 16 year old son and an 18 year old daughter. They also love dogs and have 2 Cockapoos and 1 Cocker Spaniel.
We are very grateful and blessed to have Julie Locke with our company. The Locke family is like part of our family.
International Properties and Investments LLC is very honored to say that Julie Locke is a team member.
