About Julie Gardner

I am a wife, a mother, a Realtor, a weekly blogger, a volunteer, a “home” maker, a comic at heart, a weekend athlete, a flea-market junkie, a serial renovator, and a prolific chocolate-chip cookie baker. I enjoy a good book, a fabulous find, an undiscovered treasure, and a long walk in the hills - often with my dog, Riley, in tow. As a resident of SF and then Piedmont, I now make my home in OAKLAND, CA and enjoy working with both motivated Buyers and Sellers alike. And because I\'ve bought and renovated several homes of my own over the years, I believe wholeheartedly in the process and the vision of home ownership. To that end, I work diligently on my clients\' behalf and am delighted to help them navigate this exciting journey - whether in short order, or much further down the road. In my spare time, I write a very popular weekly Blog called \"A New Perspective\" which tracks lifestyle, community happenings and real estate news in and around Piedmont and the East Bay. With more than 1750 readers, it engenders an extremely loyal following for which I\'m thankful.I recently joined Compass after nearly a decade and a half at another Brokerage in search of more creativity, better technology, and personal growth. Happily, I\'ve found that, as well as \"hands-on\" support, greater collaboration, and far more regional, national and international reach. Having spent the first half of my adult life San Francisco, I am pleased to have discovered all that the East Bay has to offer and note that it\'s only getting better as we continue to grow and thrive, attracting young professionals, expanding families, and established seniors in search of fantastic weather and a more affordable lifestyle. The East Bay is a wonderful, vibrant, and eclectic community and I am proud to be a part of it.
