Julie Tartaglia - CBSHOME

Julie was a bit slow to reply to my first contact request. She then referred me to Constance Jenson. Connie was very helpful in the initial house hunt and we found a house that I wanted to put an offer on the very first day. The seller accepted the first offer and it seemed like smooth sailing. Things went wrong after that. It took almost 3 weeks before we had the home inspection and the inspector found some things that were bad enough for me to walk away from the house. She assured me that I would get my earnest money back. A day later she called to tell me that I would not get my earnest money back because the home inspection was not completed within the period required by the contract. This was her fault, not mine. To remedy this mistake, she offered to pay $500 earnest money toward my next house. This meant I would lose $500 if I kept her as an agent, but lose $1000 if I changed agents. It took longer to find the next house. Connie did a great job in negotiating the sale. Then she called me to say that the home inspection company that CBSHOME requires buyers to use was not available in the period required by the contract. I was not satisfied with this and found an inspector (from Angie's List) that was available that week. I informed Connie and then it got ugly. She even had Julie Tartaglia call me to tell me about the horrible and manipulative inspector I had chosen. I persisted and they refused to accept his findings or fight for me when the seller refused to fix problems. I even spoke to their broker and got the same slander about my home inspector. I ended up buying the house, but it was not a pleasant experience and I will never again work with anyone from CBSHOME.

Julie was great. She was very responsive and never left us wondering what was going on. I never had any trouble getting in touch with her at all and she was very much on top of everything in our home purchase. She was very knowledgeable and professional and also just a fun person to go look at houses with.

Julie was very professional from the beginning. Even after we closed on our home she helped us get an irrigation problem resolved. Since we were out of town when the house came on the market, she met with my daughter to see the house. Her knowledge of the market, quick turn around of information, accessibility and willingness to talk us through all aspects, were highly respected and appreciated by my husband and me.

Julie is punctual, attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. We liked her immediately. She spent a long time at our home and has since kept in touch with us often as we are still getting bids for work to be done. Julie's appraisal was fair and her advice helpful. We plan to list our home with her in the spring of '14. For now it is nice to have a great sounding board for repairs and things going on right now. We have a lot of peace of mind in our choice of realtors!

Took a lot longer than I would have liked to sell my home, and I didn't get the rate I wanted. I think Julie did the best she could and gave me great effort, delivering the house at market value. I liked her and would use her again.

We contacted Julie to help us sell our home in Omaha. We live in Indianapolis and were concerned about finding a trustworthy professional who would be prompt, helpful, and patient with working with us long-distance. Julie sent us a detailed market analysis, reviewed our home, and even sent us photographs of the home so we could see her recommendations for improvement. When we looked at the real estate market, what other homes were selling for, and other factors, we decided to not sell yet. Julie helped us to review all of our options and when we opted to rent, she helped us to find someone we could trust to manage our home. She is incredibly responsive and is always on top of the details. She has been patient with our questions and has gone above and beyond to help us - always returning calls and emails quickly. She knows the market and is an immense resource. When we are ready to sell our home, we will be calling Julie. If you are seeking a real estate agent, I wholeheartedly recommend Julie Tartaglia.

Excellent - we ended up in the right house and she has been available for referrals etc. after the sale.
