Team Philosophy & Areas of Expertise
Much of my business comes from referrals and repeat business, both in and outside what I would originally have called my market area (Lexington, MA). Prior to Buyer Agency taking hold in eastern Massachusetts, this wasn't always an easy thing to do since representing a SELLER while actually working with a BUYER who was referred to you always struck me as walking a tightrope.
BUYER Agency was the most liberating change in the real estate world that has happened since I was licensed in 1986. Like many new ideas, it took longer to get a foot hold in Massachusetts, but I knew it was the way to go for me as soon as I started doing reading on it. The office I worked in at the time (Not RE/MAX!) didn't really understand the process and was worried about liability --I was more worried about liability as a seller's agent working with a buyer!
I keep on asking and eventually - in 1997 - I got permission to "try a transaction as a BUYER's Agent". I felt like I had come home! Actually working with my client as a team was the way it should be and I've never looked back. I then got the ABR Designation and have only worked with buyers who were interested in representation. My team is equally committed to the support and service of our BUYER Clients.
When representing the SELLER when listing a property, we have the procedures in place to avoid dual agency. Our strength as a team is that we each bring something to the table, and it has tremendouly enhanced our service. Our Marketing Plan [everything from staging, through on-line market presence, to client service and support] includes every aspect of the home selling process. We are not afraid to roll up our sleeves and help you prepare for market!
I believe you are better able to service your client -- whether buyer or seller -- if you are regularly maintaining your experience as both a listing and selling agent.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY . . .
Julie is an extraordinary professional who expands the whole concept of a realtor. As a buyer’s agent, she pointed out things we might have missed during showings – including flaws. As a seller’s agent, she helped us stage our house for showings by sending us a detailed list of suggestions, checking in throughout the process and getting down in the trenches to help us whenever possible. Preparing the house, but it paid off…we feel indebted to Julie for her expertise, intelligence, hard work, and good cheer. She could not have been more helpful!
Christine & Al V. (Buyer & Seller)
What can we say about Julie Duncan? With Julie, we saw at least 7 different cities, 15 plus houses, and had only 3 days in which to find a house. Luckily, Julie was there to help us find the one to buy…We were very glad that Julie was there to make our transition go smoothly.
Carl & Mary S. (Buyer)
Julie, Thanks very much for your concerns about our moving. The lists you sent will be very useful to us. You've been always so helpful and concern[ed] and kind to us (I believe you also are to your other clients). It is a pleasure to work with you. Mei Z. (Buyer)
[Julie was] great at finding the [teardown] property & following through, very helpful with pricing, awesome advertising and materials, always there for opinions or advice. [She] was great with working with buyers brokers/negotiations. I’m very happy with Julie and look forward to working with her again.

For us, finding Julie Duncan was not easy, but searching in detail through qualifications and interviewing multiple agents more than paid off. We've done four well managed transactions with Julie and she has provided many other valuable area contacts.
With regard to experience, Julie's record and qualifications speak for themselves. What you cannot see are two other fundamentally important qualities that Julie brings to her interactions. Julie really listens to her clients. She is a wonderful sales person and used that salesmanship to steer our transactions; she makes no apologies for her penchant to win and uses that to her clients' greatest advantage. Her understanding and professionalism go hand in hand and she listened to our concerns and was able to provide on point advice during all aspects of our sales and purchases. The other quality that Julie brought to us time and again is exceptional commitment. Julie is all business, but business is personal. What impressed me the most is that for Julie every transaction is personal. She makes it a point of pride to do her very best for each and every sale. She is a rare find and we have had no reservations in recommending countless friends and associates to her. Jennifer S & Tom R (Buyer & Seller)2
Julie made my stressful home-buying experience a pleasure. She is always ready to offer ideas, and with her wealth of experience, she is easy to trust. I had a limited amount of time in this area to choose a house, and she basically cleared her week for me. She cheerfully answered my calls at any time of the day or night! Thanks to all this superb support, I felt very confident throughout the process of buying my new home.
Melissa M. (Buyer)
Julie, I would like to refer folks to you. You handle yourself and client's interests in a most impressive manner. Steve B. (Boston Real Estate Attorney)
I owe you a phone call to thank you for all the great work you did to help us sell our home. You were always there for us right from the ice cream social until the sweet ending. Speaking for Juli, which is a terrible risk I am taking, we [are] happy to do a write up about the exceptional services you provided.
Marc C. & Juli D. (Seller)
"Party hosted by our realtor, Julie Duncan"??? You are so wonderful. YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. And your daughter'sw not bad either! Actually, she's terrific.
I'd put it like this: "Party hosted by their new dear friend in Lexington who happens to also be their realtor, Julie Duncan"! JD & MC (Buyer)
I'm always impressed to see how much work above the norm Julie and her team do when preparing a new listing for sale. On one recent listing they really out-did themselves! When I was there to take measurements, there was so much decluttering and packing that needed to be done. Seeing what the home looked like in the final photos when they were done was amazing!
