J & G Real Estate Group – Coldwell Banker Previews International

My family could not have been more pleased with the level of expertise and professionalism our realtor Julie displayed throughout the home buying process. We never felt pressured to make a decision. She was patient with our need to view a number of homes in numerous different neighborhoods in order to determine the best place for our family to buy. She was always available at a moments notice o show us a home and was well organized in planning our days to view multiple homes efficiently. During the escrow process she proved to be instrumental in connecting us with all the right people from the very thorough inspector to the bank loan officer that we ended up utilizing. She was our advocate throughout the process and really made the home buying process go as smoothly as possible. I’ve had experience with other realtors before and I can recommend Julie more!

Wow! White Glove Property Management had an owner client that needed their property sold. We partnered with Julie of J&G Real Estate and have been thoroughly impressed. I’m so glad we chose a partner like Julie, and we look forward to working with her team again and again!

Julie is one of the most knowledgeable real estate agents that I know. Finding a home can be very challenging, stressful, and just not fun. Julie is patient, professional, and knows her stuff. She makes it so easy. I highly recommend working with her on finding your new home.

Julie and Greg are heads and shoulders above the rest. If you don’t read beyond this sentence, know this: our home generated a ton of interest — got three SOLID offers — and sold for more than asking price!
KNOWLEDGEABLE — they have a very good grasp of market conditions and they knew our neighborhood (Trabuco Canyon). They explained why we could successfully list/​sell when we did — January vs. springtime. (Another agent advised us against it.) They were thorough with their answers to every one of our questions. Their expertise came into play most when we arrived at a selling price, and again when we countered the three offers.
RESPONSIVE! — Julie and Greg were quick to reply to every phone call and email. In general, it was they who initiated communications — making sure we received documentation to review and sign, checking our availability for appointments, etc. Julie and Greg never dropped the ball — they navigated our sale like we were the only, and most important, transaction they were working. It was obvious at every step of the process that they LIVE and breathe real estate! My husband and I have had to weed through too many realtors who just do this as a hobby.
MARKETING — Julie and Greg understand the importance of a great first impression. From helping us stage our home, immediately scheduling open houses, to the amazing online video and brochure. Everything was done beautifully and professionally. (I was shocked at what I saw my neighbors’ agents passing off as ‘brochures’ — black and white copies of the MLS listing — really!?!)
MOST IMPORTANTLY — Heart. Julie and Greg have a genuine interest in their clients’ well-​being. They know that even when everything is going smoothly, there is still a level of stress associated with such a large life-​changing event. They were there for us at every step — and have stayed in touch even after we moved. I can’t emphasize enough how much I wish they could be here in Hawaii to help us make our purchases.

Julie and her team worked very hard for us in a unique market and in an unusual situation. She went above and beyond to work with our relocation company to sell our house. She made everything go smoothly even when our relocation company made it difficult for her. She even surprised us on her ability to negotiate some very interesting terms.
Her team was very responsive and timely with all materials and changes during the selling of our property and would recommend and work with her again!

We have worked with Julie and Greg Schnieders for almost a year on both the sales and purchasing end of real estate as we’ve searched for a new home. Julie and Greg are two of the nicest people you’ll find. They have been incredibly patient with what must be two of the pickiest buyers in the market. They have never tried to pressure us on either end of the real estate transaction. They are knowledgeable about the real estate business and are familiar with the area in which they specialize. I recommend them highly to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, low pressure, and fun to be with professional real estate team.

Not only is Julie one of the best qualified real estate agents I’ve met, but a truly caring person as well. She also has the patience of a saint. She helped my family look for a high end home in Newport Beach for my parents for approximately a year. Our greatest problem was my father’s onset dementia. He would see a home he liked, but by the next day he had forgotten what we had seen and only remembered that he didn’t like it. It was a frustrating time for all of us, but Julie continued to help. We will always be grateful for that help.

Julie was great with helping me find a house. I was a bit picky and she took the time to show me many different properties and always showed up with a smile. She was very professional was always available which made the process very smooth. I would definitely recommend Julie and Greg.

I first came into contact with Julie and Greg when they sold a house up the street from my house in the Robinson Ranch neighborhood in Rancho Santa Margarita. I was quite surprised with not only how quickly they were able to sell the house, but also their use of technology in selling that home. Not only do they have their listings on every related website, they were the first (that I have ever seen) utilize QR codes, excellent professional photography, and a separate website for each listing. Much to the neighborhood’s surprise, that home sold within a few days at full asking price.
One year later, I decided to sell my home and did not hesitate to have Julie and Greg as my realtors. I realized that selling homes in only a few days can just be a matter of luck, but after they sold my home only a few days after being listed on the market and after seeing them do the same for other clients, it’s clear that their work is exceptionally better than most. They helped me with great recommendations for valuing the home, getting it ready for sale, and staging it. They work very hard for their clients and always make them a priority. They have a strong network between other realtors in the area, which helps expedite finding the right buyer.
I highly recommend Julie and Greg, and would not hesitate to use them again. They will help you receive top dollar for your home when you are ready to sell. They are very friendly, passionate people who clearly love what they do, which is largely revealed in their success!

When it was time down size to our retirement home and sell our family home of 22 plus years we were so thankful to have found Julie and Greg. Their in depth research of comparable homes allowed us to make an informed decision on our listing price. And their guidance through the whole process made the experience very positive. Julie and Greg aren’t just fantastic at what they do, they are fantastic people and go above an beyond. Greg even cleaned up after our cat when he decided to bring a bird in through the front door during the open house. And how many people can say they sold their home in 4 days, we can! When we found Julie and Greg, we didn’t just find a Realtor team we found two people who care and get to know you. They’re the best, and I highly recommend them for all your real estate needs!

Julie and Greg were amazing to work with. From the moment I first me them, I knew I was working with a class act as my local Realtors! Our transaction went smoothly because of their constant communication and open and honest opinions. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a good solid team to work for hard for them. I would use them again in a minute!

Julie and Greg were representing a very nice buyer family on one of my listings in Rancho Santa Margarita. They represented their clients very well, were punctual with deadlines and inspection appointments and conducted all their tasks professionally and ethically. They kept all their agreements and we didn’t have any unpleasant surprises. In addition, we were affiliated with the same national brokerage brand a few years ago, so I have had the experience of being in the same office with them. In my experience, they have a courteous and pleasant disposition and are a great representation of the best of our Real Estate community. All other factors being nearly equal or similar, if I’m presented with an offer from Julie and Greg on a listing, I will feel very much assured and comfortable that if my sellers chose to go with their client’s offer, we will have a successful transaction. I’d be happy to be in escrow with Greg and Julie on several transactions every year. I know I can count on their word, which is a major sign of good character. I’m not at all surprised to see similar reviews from buyers, sellers and lessees.

We recently moved due to a corporate relocation, and were basically assigned to work with Julie Schnieders on the purchase of a new home. However, as random as that sounds, I was extremely pleased with the service and professionalism that Julie and Greg provided. We were not easy clients, as we insisted on reviewing many houses while we searched for just the right one in a market that was fast-​paced and rapidly changing. Julie (and Greg) worked with our crazy schedules and expedited the process as much as possible for us. They looked out for our best interests and help advise us on many fronts. We could have chosen to work with another realtor, but we were pleased to complete our purchase with them. That was 1 ½ years ago, and we are still delighted with the purchase we made, and the work they performed for us.
I would highly recommend them and would certainly use their services again in the future. I would be happy to provide additional details as needed.

We were looking for a rental place and our needs were special. Julie must have shown us at least two dozen properties over the course of three months without a single hint of frustration — even after one attempt fell through at the very end (and I admittedly got a bit obnoxious about it).
After that, she showed us another half dozen properties and once we decided, she handled everything as wonderfully as before and all went through. Would strongly recommend.
