About us

Whether you are moving locally or long distance, I am eager to do everything I can to make your relocation as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. In addition to selling over $100 million worth of real estate in the last ten years, since 2009 I have been the #1 Individual Agent at Nancy Chandler Associates and in the top 1% of agents in the Hampton Roads REALTORS® Association Circle of Excellence. As a military spouse and Realtor®, I have had numerous experiences moving, buying, and selling homes and investment property. I have lived in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Boston, Pensacola, San Diego, and Palm Springs, so you know I understand that moving can be stressful. Because I have purchased and sold homes in several diverse locations, I understand both the pressure and significance of buying and selling a home. You will have a REALTOR® who works for you. - Since some of my clients are not Angie's List members, their reviews do not show up on the main review section of my profile.

Julia was my third agent in a year and a half. She sold the house in less than a month. We had several issues with the property. Julia worked non-stop to get estimates and guide me through some difficult decisions. Very professional and valued my time. Great agent. Wish I had found her sooner!

Julia Shea is, without a doubt, at the very top of her profession. Everything you want in a realtor is what you get. Knowledge, experience, timeliness, solid representation, and a true partner in the real estate process.

Julia is very professional and puts her clients first. She helped my husband and I find our new home in Suffolk. We especially appreciated her keeping the sellers on track when visiting new construction homes noting our budget and timeline. She always made sure our questions were answered and has continued to help us through the buying process. We would definitely recommend her as a realtor and will use her again in the future!

We contracted with Julia Shea to sell our home in October of 2016 and are SO glad we did.  We closed in December of 2016 and could not have asked for a better experience!  Julia is a consummate professional and is VERY good at what she does.  Her market research was very thorough and ensured that our home was priced accurately.  We really appreciate that she was very forthcoming about what we could expect throughout the process and that she always told us the truth, even if it was not what we wanted to hear.  The end result was that we received a full price offer 32 days after our home was listed despite the fact that it was during the most challenging time of the year to sell a home.  At the time our home was listed, there were many others in our neighborhood that had been on the market for several months and still remain unsold.  Julia ensured that we remained informed every step of the way and provided sound guidance that resulted in a very quick and smooth transaction.  She was ALWAYS available to answer any questions that we had and address any concerns that arose.  We recommend her services to anyone looking for a highly motivated realtor to assist with buying or selling a home!   We are looking forward to working with her as we begin the search for our next home.  Thank you for everything Julia and Jordyn, you ladies are SIMPLY THE BEST!!

Thanks to Julia's efficient and effective marketing plan, our house sold in under 2 weeks! My family was totally satisfied with our experience working with Julia Shea and her staff in the sale of our family home. Julia Shea is professional, competent, and has a firm grasp of effective marketing strategies. From our first meeting, Julia was always available to answer any questions or concerns via phone, text or email. She gave thoughtful feedback and expert advice for pricing our home and for staging the home for showings. When I was unable to be at the house to meet with handymen for a few final repairs, Julia took time out of her schedule to personally oversee the repairs. During the sale negotiations, I had every confidence that my terms of sale would be well represented. I was not disappointed. The final NET price to me, the seller, was right on the mark. I heartily recommend Julia Shea to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. You will not regret your decision.

Julia is an extraordinary realtor. She is the ultimate professional, she's communicative and responsive, she's insightful about her clients' stated needs as well as the needs they haven't articulated. She willingly provides advice when asked, unlike so many other realtors who do not provide the benefit of their experience to their clients. She worked tirelessly on our behalf - we had some unusual requirements for our home - and she never tried to talk us out of anything that would have made finding a home easier; she just kept working until she found the right place.

Julia's service is exemplary.  She kept me completely informed throughout the sales process, and went far beyond the call of duty in helping with services that needed to be done.  My house was on the market for an extended period of time, but I was never pressured to lower the price (although we did do so at my suggestion) or make fundamental changes for a "quick sale."  I felt supported throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend Julia Shea to any prospective home seller or buyer.

Julia was absolutely wonderful to work with! We only had a few days to find a house (we were being relocated for work) and she made herself completely available to us. Thanks to her personal experience with relocation, expertise, and uncanny ability to remember even the smallest of details with every house we visited.  Within 2.5 days and what felt like a million houses later, we put an offer on what is now our home. She helped us with everything, start to finish, and I only wish everyone could have this great of a home buying experience. Thank you Julia!

Julia was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. We chose her for two reasons: her reputation and the agency she works for.

Prior to listing the house, she spent a number of hours talking with us about the value of the house, the area, comparables, and eventually professionally photographing the home and obtaining the proper information for the listing description. The home was officially on the market on a Monday and, within 7 days, we had three good offers. Additionally, she was present during the survey to ensure the home was properly appraised. Julia was very pleasant to work with. As stated she knows her craft and was very low pressure with everything. Highly recommended!

She was amazing. She had the house under contract within 48 hours of it going on the market.  She was professional and anticipated all our needs and was very comforting.

Overall the process went very smoothly.  Prior to listing the house Julia provided recommendations on things to do to get the highest price for the sale.  She was easy to talk to and always kept me informed of the entire process from start to finish.

I picked Julia based solely on her Angie's list reviews and they were right! My fiancee was deployed amongst other numerous hurdles we faced throughout this purchase but she was there every step of the way. She was amazingly patient and went out of her way to help me through everything.

Julia Shea provided excellent services with finding our dream home. She went above and beyond with everything. She is also very honest and straight forward which we gladly appreciated. She comes from a military background/family and is very familiar with how the system works when it comes to VA loans. She guided us through the purchase process step by step and made it very painless and enjoyable! Her recommendations throughout the process helped us get an excellent price on the home. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family without hesitation. She is also a dedicated professional who went above and beyond our expectations. She would show homes to us after works and during the weekends at our convenience. She would rapidly respond to all emails and phone calls to answer all our questions. Again amazing experience! She was by our side throughout the process to include all the closing paperwork. Made excellent recommendations for closing assistance and home inspection services. Being her client, you can rest at ease knowing she has your back and will go the extra mile to fit your needs and requirements. Again, we highly recommend Julia Shea and I will definitely be using her services for all future real estate needs. We checked out a few other real estate agents prior to Julia and noticed rather  quickly they were a little shady. Julia was not like them at all. She is a true professional who can be trusted and comes highly recommended. At the end of the experience, you will come away one happy customer. On top all of it, she provided a full home warranty from First American which actually saved us with a few things. If you ain't choosing Julia as your real estate agent, you might step back and think long and hard before moving forward with your dream home search. If you want to be represented to the fullest, choose Julia Shea #1 real estate agent in Hampton Roads in our book!

We chose to work with Julia because of her stellar reviews and we weren't disappointed. She helped us find a house in Norfolk while we were still living overseas and we were so reassured by her knowledge of the market as well as her professionalism and thoroughness that we felt confident buying our house from afar. Julia and her assistant Asten went above and beyond, taking hundreds of pictures of multiple properties, talking us through floor plans and giving their candid impressions of each property because we weren't there to see them in person. She always made herself available for our calls and she listened carefully to our concerns, providing the perfect balance of reassurance and cautionary advice. When it came to making an offer, she negotiated expertly, achieving a very fair price. We would recommend her to anyone considering buying a home in the Norfolk area, especially someone who is conducting some or all of their search remotely.

Working with Julia Shea is a wonderful experience.  We talked to a few other real estate agents (just because we'd heard that's what you're *supposed* to do) but Julia was far and away the best.  She was professional, courteous and knowledgeable.  When some unexpected hurtles arose during the negotiations and settlement process, she helped us to make informed decisions.  I would recommend her to other Angieslist members without any reservations!

From our initial contact to well past our closing, Julia Shea was amazing. She made us feel comfortable with the home buying process. She listened to our needs/wants and showed us houses that fit into the price point that we gave her. She gave us all the ins/outs of the neighborhoods we were looking at. Even after closing on our house, she has still kept in contact with us. Making sure things are going well.

Julia is a superb realtor.  She knows the real estate business very well and was incredibly helpful when our family looked for the best house to purchase.  The first time we used her for a purchase, we looked at more than forty houses before we settled on the one we wanted to buy.  Throughout our search she was always available, even on very short notice to show us a new possibility.  She was always very patient and would help us no matter how long it took.  For the sale of our house, she aggressively marketed it and we got the price we wanted in a very short time.   She is a true professional who knows the business and I am convinced she is the best realtor in the Hampton Roads area.  I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

Julia was awesome!  She helped us find a home (our first) in Norfolk.  We are a Navy family and were moving to Hampton Roads from another state, so the first part of our home search had to be done online.  I contacted some other real estate agents and they either didn't want to put in the time to email us properties or they didn't want to bother with buyers who were working on a budget.  Finally a friend recommended Julia to us and we were not disappointed!  She was patient with us while we tried to work out what we wanted in our first home; she never pushed us to make a decision but simply presented the facts and provided an objective analysis of the house.  We weren't familiar with the area so it would have been difficult for us to determine which neighborhoods were decent (since we were doing a lot of the searching online), but Julia always told me frankly whether she would feel comfortable living in a neighborhood.   She was an invaluable source of information about the region and about what would make a good investment and she was truly an honest, patient agent.  I would (and will!) use her in the future and I've recommended her to anyone who will listen.
