Julie Gritton was first exposed to the real estate business while working as an assistant at a local real estate firm. As she observed the comings and goings of other agents in her office, Julie had an inkling that her skills and ambitions might make for a natural match within the industry. She soon proved herself right. Fourteen years after earning her license, Julie has carved out a diverse career as an agent with experience in both sales and rentals, guided by professionalism, accessibility, and people-first service.

Primarily serving Sussex County in Delaware, Julie focuses on the state’s beach community and its surrounding areas. At its heart, Julie’s professional approach is dedicated to personalization, and she aims to cultivate a client experience that inspires confidence and a sense of community in those she serves. “I want my clients to feel that after everything has been said and done, they still have a friend in the local community,” she says. “I always strive to build relationships that last a life time.” With half her business generated by repeat and referral clientele, the success of Julie’s working style is proven. Additionally, Julie has a knack for the details—a much-needed skill when navigating the complexities and contracts of buying or selling a property. “I have a checklist that I adhere to like clockwork, so I always know how things are progressing and how to keep them on track,” Julie explains. “Plus, I’m very into technology, so I use a lot of apps to help keep customers up-to-date every single step of the way. Communication is huge.” In that, Julie prioritizes accessibility and keeps the lines of communication clear and open, recognizing that clients in the midst of a major milestone like buying or selling a home need the steady hand of a seasoned professional.

As for marketing her listings, Julie’s process is both holistic and systematic. After helping clients prep the house for market, she incorporates immersive digital materials to add interest. Professional photography, video walk throughs, and virtual tours all entice would-be homebuyers exploring options online. Likewise, properties are syndicated across the top listing platforms  and social media outlets, while marketing in local area publications gets the word out among local community members. As for staying in touch with past clients, Julie reaches out by phone, checks in over e-mail, and sends out holiday cards to share in the joy of the season. Long after a closing is complete, she makes herself available as a resource for her clients, providing referrals for local vendors, as well as insights on the market whenever called upon. In reflecting on what she loves most about her day-to-day work, Julie says: “Everyone I work with is unique and has different needs. That keeps my job fresh, exciting, and interesting.”

Beyond the office, Julie is involved in her local community through a myriad of outreach efforts. In addition to fundraising, donating, and volunteering alongside the March of the Dimes and the American Heart Association, she is also an active member of her church. As for her free hours, Julie most enjoys spending time with her husband and children going to festivals, shopping on the weekends, and visiting the beach.

Considering the years to come, Julie is currently in the process of earning her broker’s license, as well as a few additional certifications to add to her repertoire. While she continues to grow her business, she’d also like to add team members to her talent roster. Now, fourteen years after her career began, Julie remains at the helm of a blossoming enterprise. Inspired by service and an unwavering dedication to hard work, the best is assuredly still to come for Julie Gritton.
