Julie is a true professional and takes care of her clients at an extremely high level. Julie and I have done several deals together and I know I have a reliable and trustworthy resource when working with her. It's always a pleasure and I'd recommend her to anyone who needs a strong ally, support system and professional.

My husband Carey and I, as first-time home buyers, cannot speak highly enough of Julie Setterlund. She is truly the epitome of what defines an incredible real estate agent and instantly set the standard for excellence as our buyers agent. From our very first meeting to closing day, Julie demonstrated an exceptional eye for detail and went above and beyond in educating us throughout the process. The entire process, which can often be overwhelming for first-timers, felt structured and seamless under her guidance. Her responsiveness was unmatched; she consistently answered calls, texts, and emails instantly, making us feel like we were her top priority, especially crucial in today's fast-moving market. Her years of experience and success as an agent in Fairfield county are immediately apparent when you begin working with her. Beyond the logistics, Julie’s unwavering honesty and constant support were what made the biggest difference. We always felt she was looking out for our best interests, offering genuine, clear-eyed advice about properties and ensuring we made informed decisions without pressure. She was a constant source of calm and knowledgeable support throughout the negotiations and closing. She is also incredibly well connected and had trustworthy recommendations for other professional home services we may need after closing. Julie is simply the best in the business. We will absolutely continue to use her for all our future real estate needs and recommend her without any hesitation. Thank you, Julie, for making our first home-buying experience unbelievable - we’re so lucky to have found you. -Parker, Carey, and Clementine

From the very beginning, Julie came fully prepared and took the time to truly listen to my goals and expectations. She proposed a smart, tailored strategy that aligned perfectly with my objectives.

Julie is simply amazing at her job. Our house search took more than 5 months and Julie stuck with us and kept us on track every step of the way. Each time there was a difficult decision or something we were unfamiliar with Julie was extremely responsive, took the time to help us think through the pros/cons, and pointed us towards helpful supplemental resources. In what was a very unfriendly market for Buyers, Julie helped us keep our perspective, find, and then most importantly negotiate the purchase of our dream house at an eminently reasonable value. She cares deeply about the process outcome for her clients because of an intrinsic sense of pride in a job well done rather than the transactional mindset of many other agents we met. This was made abundantly clear to each us time she would recommend a course of action (e.g. looking at more houses, taking more time to think, or advising not to overbid) that was directly opposed to her financial incentives, which happened very frequently in the process. Julie is a fantastic agent and an even better human being. You will not go wrong by working with her.

Julie did a fantastic job selling our home. From day one, she was professional, knowledgeable, and fully committed to getting us the best outcome. She guided us through every step of the process with clear communication and excellent advice, helping us set the right price, prepare the home for showings, and navigate negotiations. Her marketing strategy was spot-on, bringing in strong interest right away. Most importantly, she truly cared about our goals and worked tirelessly to make the sale as smooth and successful as possible. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Julie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Julie was awesome to work with. She is very professional, knowledgeable with great communication skills! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Julie is absolutely wonderful! She is very responsive and helped me find my dream condo. She takes the time to understand your wants/needs. Julie is very supportive throughout your home buying journey. I recommend her to anyone looking for their next home!

Julie was referred to us by my inlaws. She was extremely intuitive and caught on to what my wife and I were looking for immediately. I found her extremely approachable, humorous, and she has a no nonsense attitude. Due to my limited available house hunting time, she was able to take our needs and desires and make our house hunting much more efficient. Each day she had prepared routes, home bios, and had information on the local surroundings. I found looking at each home actually fun and enjoyable. Once the wife and I had found our perfect home, her team quickly swooped in and guided us through the inspection and purchase process. Every step of the way, Julie was there pointing out the gotchas, and providing tips and recommendations to make the process easier. I don't think we could have found our perfect home without her.

I'm so happy that I finally get to write this fabulous review about my friend Julie Setterlund.I needed an exceptional realtor who could help me manage the sale of my Mom's home in CT from out of state.I dreaded finding a realtor. There are a lot of them out there and it felt daunting. I "interviewed" a few people and none felt right. They were all over the map with commissions, listing prices and marketing materials and everyone had a sales pitch that exhausted me.I did a little more research and came across Julie's bio online.I feel really lucky to have found her. She hit the ground running from day one and worked tirelessly staging, cleaning, arranging, rearranging and showing the house. She had a clear vision of how the house should look, when to list it, what the listing price should be and had all the back up to support her plan when she presented it. Her work was precise and she managed everything in my absence. She's honest, hardworking and quietly authoritative when needed. She was always available and communicated daily. I have no idea when she actually sleeps.The day the house was listed we had multiple offers and she guided me through it all. We recently closed and while I'm thrilled to have sold the house to wonderful people, it's bittersweet and I'll miss my daily check-ins with Julie.Finding a world class realtor was the goal but I'm grateful to have gained an amazing friend like Julie in the process.The best of the best!

Julie is exceptional, and the service she provides is second to none. Always helpful, approachable and reassuring, she facilitated a complicated move with the utmost professionalism, all the while providing a friendly and calming presence during a stressful time. She had a solution for everything, and often preempted issues before they arose. We can wholeheartedly recommend her. She is a 5 Star agent

Our daughter is relocating to New York and my husband and I decided to invest in a small condo for her. Julie found the perfect property and helped us negotiate a purchase quickly and successfully. Julie is professional, honest and a genuinely nice person to work with. We strongly recommend Julie for your real estate needs.

We bought our house with Julie's help in 2025 and I could not be happier with her services. Julie helped my wife and I find a home in our perfect town in an extremely difficult market. We toured dozens of homes and Julie was always very quick to get tours set up for us and had excellent availability despite my challenging work schedule. She was very honest and no-nonsense and her perspectives were invaluable for us as first time home buyers. Julie went above and beyond to follow up on homes even after they have accepted other offers, which is how we got our opportunity after another deal fell through. She is direct when dealing with other agents and made the process as transparent as possible. We are very happy with our new home and would definitely consider her for future properties!

Julie and her team were awesome! She brought out all the ideas and resources to make the sale happen with an accepted offer in 2 days on the market! Friendly and reliable and fast and responsive, it was such a pleasure working with Julie.

Our experience with Julie Setterlund was incredible. Julie is a kind, funny, compassionate individual that was always willing to go above and beyond to help us find and buy our first home. Julie is always easy to get in touch with, quick to follow up on any questions or requests we had and worked tirelessly to help us get the best deal. My husband and I have tricky schedules to work in showings, but Julie always worked with us to get us into whatever home we wanted to see at a time that worked for us. She not only was there to help us tour homes, she was there each step of the way until closing and has truly become a part of our family. We would highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for their dream home!

Julie and her team were amazing! Fast, super professional, always available, creative, and thoughtful. Julie knew right from the start how to best sell our property, made sure that the listing had the best language, photos, and a great drone video to show it all off.We were on the market for two days before an accepted offer.Couldn’t recommend Julie more highly.

I can’t say enough incredible things about working with Julie to buy our first home! We had been searching for a home for just under a year and working with Julie throughout it all. Julie is always quick to respond, is extremely flexible with working around non-traditional schedules and provides a ton of insight while touring homes, as well as a laugh. Throughout the whole process and especially when it came time for closing, Julie always made sure to keep us up to date on what was going on behind the scenes and to offer us whatever resources she had available once we closed and started planning our renovation. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to go on this search with, she became part of the family and we're so thankful!

Julie is amazing. We enjoyed getting to know her as we worked together finding a new home for us. I highly recommend Julie if you are in need of an excellent realtor. She guided two of our adult children their way through finding new homes as well. We have made her an official member of our family. Thank you Julie for all your kindness and support in finding our new home!

Julie Sutterland is simply the best agent (buying or selling) we have engaged with in over 40 years of real estate transactions. We were making a big, complex move from across the country to an area we knew somewhat but not especially well. She respected our specific needs and preferences and shepherded our home purchase with the care and concern of a family member, but also with extreme professionalism and knowledge of the market in both CT and NY. She alerted us to potential structural and mechanical system issues, kept everyone adhering to deadlines and legal matters, and responded almost instantly to texts and emails. Julie cheerfully explored 20 properties with us in CT and NY, offering her knowledge and discreet and respectful opinion of the areas. She helped us remain focused on our own criteria and helped us move through a quagmire of complex considerations and distractions to a decision. We left town after our purchase offer was accepted, but then, through no fault on Julie’s part, the seller’s had a legal issue, and we were left without a contract. Because we had visited so many houses together, she understood what we were looking for and what we couldn’t tolerate. Because she had listened so carefully and learned so well what we wanted, we trusted her to look at properties and take videos when we were back in our previous home, two thousand miles away. When we became interested in one of these newly listed houses, she visited our chosen property multiple times on her own, taking videos, and keeping us as informed as we’d be if we were in the neighborhood. She went on to manage the negotiations, then the inspections, and followed through on our requested repairs with impressive tenacity. Through it all, Julie remained upbeat and kind, and she made us feel that we were the center of her attention, though we know she has a busy practice. Even after we were in the house, Julie kept in touch, offered suggestions, and helped connect us to service professionals. She is a gem and a friend, and we cannot imagine having made this move without her.

My wife and I had been talking about relocating from Texas to Connecticut. I was in CT over Memorial Day weekend and had some free time. I decided to go to an open house in Redding, which happened to be Julie's (that wound up being my lucky day). After I walked through the house, Julie and I talked for a while about the Fairfield County market, how quickly homes were selling, how firm sellers were on pricing, etc.. Her knowledge of the market, and realistic assessment of what it would take to be successful purchasing a home, was spot on....Urgency! I returned to Texas and told my wife that if we were really interested in moving back to Connecticut (we are both originally from there) we'd have to commit to it and get moving. We found two houses that we were very interested in so I called Julie to get the details. She explained that there was a lot of interest and that the one we liked most was in negotiation. I got on a flight the next morning (Friday) and Julie set up an appointment for me to tour the house on Saturday. I loved the house, got my wife's OK to go after it and decided to make an offer. We went back to Julie's office and she went to work..... We pulled my financials and other information to demonstrate that I was a qualified buyer and then put together a formal offer. She called the seller's agent and explained that I was only in town for a couple of days and asked if she would accept another offer. She agreed, and off it went. Done, right? Not done!! Julie called her mortgage contact and left a message that she needed him to call her asap (did I mention that this was Saturday night?). A short time later he returned her call and she put me on the phone with him. We went through my plan to finance the purchase and he said that he would have one of his associates reach out to me. By now it's after 8:00 Saturday evening. Julie has spent the entire day with me. Done, right? Not done!! As I'm driving back to my hotel, I get a call from the mortgage guy's associate. He asked a bunch of questions and about 20 minutes later my mortgage application has been initiated. The next morning we get a call from the seller's agent saying my offer has been accepted. Done right, not done!! This is Sunday morning and Julie contacts an inspector and schedules an inspection for Monday. The inspection goes well and Julie contacts an attorney she uses and we go to contract. I asked her how she is able to get this kind of response from people. She said "I just tell them that I won't work with people who don't call me back". I know this story is a bit long, but it captures all of the characteristics that set Julie apart. Knowledgeable, Committed, Connected....Urgent! Don't want to leave out caring and compassionate!!! We closed on our house two weeks ago and are ecstatic! I know we couldn't have done this without Julie's guidance and support! This is the tenth home I have purchased and I can say without hesitation that Julie is the best real estate professional I have ever worked with....Hands down!

I am an attorney who represents clients in residential real estate purchases and sales. I recently represented a client in the sale of her house in Ridgefield. Julie Setterlund was the listing agent. I had not worked with Julie prior to this sale but it quickly became apparent to me that she was exceptional. At every stage of the process, Julie was prepared, organized, and working tirelessly to make our mutual client's experience as easy as possible. When issues came up with the sale (as they always do) Julie proactively addressed the issues with all of the parties which helped not only my client but she made my job a lot easier. She did an excellent job of timely communicating with our mutual client and me at every step of the way. There have been very few real estate agents who I have worked with who I would unequivocally refer a client to. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie Setterlund to anyone looking to sell or purchase real estate.

5 Star Service! Julie helped us look for our new home. She was always ready and willing to go the extra mile - she adapted as our search area widened due to the extremely low inventory, venturing through many areas of NY. She wrote offers quickly and accurately and presented them clearly and concisely. Our circumstances changed due to a family situation and we eventually wound up in another state, but we cannot say enough about how great it was to have Julie in our corner.

Julie Setterlund was the best realtor I have ever worked with. She was very responsive, very knowledgeable, and always on top of details. She put in quite a lot of work to sell our house. She suggested fantastic contractors and always offered multiple options. If I had another house to sell in CT I would only work with her. Lastly, my real estate attorney separately mentioned to me that he had never dealt with another realtor who was so well prepared.

We are so glad that your firm recommended Julie to help us with our home purchase. We were uncertain about whether we wanted to buy a home in Connecticut or New York. Her dual license was quite helpful. We did not have to change real estate agents. Working with Julie was really pleasant. She guided us well through some tense negotiations, and supported us with several recommendations for help we needed. We are sure any of your customers would be happy to have Julie as their realtor.

We have had a great experience with Julie from day one. She was so knowledgeable, supportive and communicative during the whole process. I would (and will) recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in this area. She is wonderful!

Julie was an absolute pleasure to work with during our recent house hunting adventure. Her patience with our crazy questions and knowledge expertise of the local markets was second to none. We toured many houses together, dealt with “unique” overbearing selling realtors, and ultimately found our next home. If you want a responsive, responsible, and honest realtor: pick Julie. Otherwise, pick some other realtor, it’s your gamble.

Julie was professional, reliable, and in constant contact. Overall she was terrific and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new home purchase.

Was an amazing experience work with Julie, her expertise, and commitment made the entire process smooth and stress-free for us. From the initial search to the final closing, she was always there to answer our questions, provide valuable insights. Not only she helped us to find a house that meets all our criteria, but she also negotiated a great deal on our behalf. Her negotiation skills and market knowledge were instrumental in ensuring that we got the best possible outcome. We are thrilled with our new home and couldn't have done it without her. Thank you so much Julie.

Julie Setterlund was amazing! Her knowledge, resources and patience made our stressful relocation an enjoyable process. We've already recommended her to potential customers seeking to move to the CT/NY area.

An Outstanding dedicated professional. Incredibly gregarious. A true realty Savant. She is your only choice.

Julie Setterlund has a combination of smarts and caring. Whatever problem came up,she threw herself into the challenge, and tirelessly took the initiative to find a solution. Julie spent several weeks patiently meeting us at a variety of properties in Connecticut and New York. We appreciated that she has real estate licenses in both states. Julie took us through the paperwork for 4 offers. When we finally found our home, she was with us every step of the way until closing, with frequent texts, emails and phone calls. Julie was a bright spot taking us through an extremely stressful process. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home, and in fact already have done so.

Julie is a Truly outstanding professional with integrity and character.

Julie was all that we could ask for in a real estate agent. We contacted her with the hope of selling fast, and she did everything she could to make that happen. Highly recommend her to anyone hoping for a knowledgeable and compassionate agent.

Julie did a fantastic job in both helping us buy our new home and in selling our old one. She's a true professional who put in a great deal of effort representing us, looked out for our interests, resolved issues and followed up when others dropped the ball. She was proactive in providing helpful guidance and always responsive with communication.

Too many positives to list - you can't go wrong working with her!

Julie was a pleasure to work with when we bought our Ridgefield home. She is professional, very knowledgeable and happy to get involved at all levels. Julie helped immensely with the buying process but also sourced professionals during and after the purchase to make the process completely painless. Julie was available at anytime to answer questions and solve problems. I would absolutely use her again. Ridgefield's TOP realtor.

It is a delight to work with Julie. She is professional and knowledgeable about the real estate market. I look forward to working with her on many future transactions.

As a local real estate attorney with 36+ years of experience and expertise, I have found Julie to be a sharp, detail oriented, persistent and knowledgeable real estate agent.

It was a difficult decision to sell my house, and Julie was most understanding about my situation. She was not pushy or insistent, but understanding and guiding on helping me decide. Her knowledge of the current market was good. Whatever I wanted, she heard (such as not posting a For Sale sign in front of my house). She had numerous open houses and was always willing to work with me on times to show my house to perspective buyers. Once in the stage of selling, Julie worked continuously to help me down size by posting items for sale and even meeting the buyers to give them my merchandise and collect the money. She also helped with my estate sale. If you choose Julie, she will be very helpful.

Julie was probably the most professional and responsive realtor I've ever dealt with! I was so impressed with her ability to respond to e-mails and text messages and give me updates during the rental process. She is honest and a pleasure to work with!

Julie has been an exceptional realtor. I honestly think that she never sleeps as she is so responsive. Every little thing she knew the answer to, or she found it out immediately. She went above and beyond in terms of home visits, understanding the market and even getting us to see homes that were not even on the market. Her knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. But more than all of that she is a joy to work with and a wonderful counsel in the often frenetic business of buying a home in this crazy market. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
