Julie Thum is a seasoned real estate professional with over 35 years of experience helping buyers and sellers navigate the housing market. As an Associate Broker at RE/MAX Elite, she brings extensive knowledge, a strong network, and a commitment to ensuring her clients make informed decisions. Based primarily in Brooklyn, Julie also works in Manhattan and Staten Island, offering expert guidance in co-ops, condos, and single- and multi-family properties.
Julie’s journey into real estate was inspired by a personal experience. When she and her husband were searching for their first home, they encountered agents who were less than helpful. That experience left a lasting impression, and Julie realized she could provide a better, more ethical service to future homebuyers. Encouraged by her husband, she obtained her real estate license, and the rest is history.
Starting in real estate was a learning curve, but when she joined RE/MAX, everything changed. With a company that valued professionalism and integrity, Julie built a successful career based on trust, expertise, and a deep commitment to her clients.
Julie goes beyond just listing homes—she provides a full-service real estate experience:
One of the key ways Julie differentiates herself is through education. She believes an informed client makes the best decisions. For sellers, she ensures they price their property correctly, avoiding common mistakes that can slow down a sale. For buyers, she helps them understand the market, guiding them through any hesitation to make the right purchase at the right time.
Julie is selective with her clients—she works only with those serious about buying or selling. Her goal is to provide top-tier service, ensuring every transaction is smooth and successful.
With over 200 five-star reviews on Zillow, Google, and RateMyAgent, Julie’s clients consistently praise her dedication, professionalism, and results. She personally asks for reviews at the end of each transaction, knowing that prospective clients rely on real experiences to make their decisions.
Julie’s success has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including:
Her impressive track record speaks to her work ethic, experience, and commitment to excellence.
Julie has called Bay Ridge home for over 40 years and loves everything about the area. She describes it as a “small town in a big city”, with a strong sense of community, historic charm, and vibrant local businesses. From summer street festivals to long-standing traditions, she believes Brooklyn offers something special.
Outside of real estate, Julie enjoys traveling, fashion, cooking, baking, and, of course, shopping! She recently celebrated one of the most special moments in her life—the birth of her grandson in December.
Julie advises potential buyers and sellers to focus on the quality of the agent rather than just the commission. “Think about who will get the job done right, provide the best service, and truly educate you,” she says. Her goal is to deliver outstanding results while making the process smooth and stress-free.
With her tagline “Helping people find their slice of heaven since 1987”, Julie Thum continues to make homeownership dreams a reality across Brooklyn and beyond.
