Julie Cox-Money was born with the gift of a keen eye for style and a passion for decorating and Re-designing the interiors of homes. A Tallahassee, Florida native, Julie has been changing the look of homes for the better since a young age. Even in her younger years, she always took the opportunity to make her friends and their parents feel better by rearranging rooms and giving them a sense of warmth and style.
Julie studied interior design at the Florida State University School of Fine Arts, where she learned the finer points of interior decorating, historic restoration, and visual space planning. In 1999 she left Florida State to become the head of running a 3.5 annual million dollar retail business, in charge of over 40+ employees and multiple retail stores.
Julie became very fluent in marketing and recruiting as she became district recruiter for the Tallahassee markets giving her the experience needed in networking and finding the "right fit" for the "right spot". Her years of experience with the financial planning and budgeting of running a retail business, along with the acute attention to detail that is a must in any business has made her who she is today. Her experience with the training of managers all over Florida with new store launches, has provided her with the key elements and training of visual and space planning to drive the highest amount of revenue from the target market. This experience has really given Julie an expert eye for knowing the visual appeal that is considered current and completely essential for maximum dollar home sales within our current real estate market today.
Julie continued to remain in retail for over 10 years, but her undying love of the interiors of homes and real estate convinced her that she needed and was ready for a change. In late 2005, Julie decided to leave retail and become a mortgage broker as a start to her career in real estate. Excited, but still not as involved, she decided to get her real estate license in 2006 and pursue a career that involved her true passion and love of residential real estate, customer service, sales, and homes interiors.
Wanting to improve herself and become more knowledgeable about how to get homes interiors to the bestselling condition possible and wanting to learn more about this process, she decided to study Home Staging, Interior Redesign, and Interior Decorating areas of study that she has always loved anyway. What better way to get a home sold while also making top dollar for the seller, than to make it look it's absolute best!
Julie has obtained her home staging certification from not only tons of research and self-taught training but also from a Real Estate Based home staging school and now carries the "Accredited Home Staging Specialist" designation. This along with a proven record of sales, have literally made Julie a master of the art of staging and redesign with providing homes with their most beautiful aesthetic appeal possible.
In late 2008 Julie joined the Rivers Team to learn the principles and values involved in one of the most successful real estate teams in Tallahassee. Having sold millions of dollars in real estate and negotiated hundreds of contracts in the past 15 years, Julie has received many production awards including the National platinum award for team production and the Double Platinum award from Keller Williams.
She is a member of the National Board of Realtors, The Florida Board of Realtors, The Tallahassee Board of Realtors, and the Florida Association of Mortgage Brokers. Julie is completely in touch with the real estate market in Tallahassee and all outlying areas. Her experience with The Rivers Team, Keller Williams, Xcellence Realty, and the years of involvement with buyers and sellers have not only made her an expert specialist, but also have provided her with the advanced, expert negotiating skills with an extreme amount of market knowledge that she possesses today.
Julie's knowledge of real estate also allows her to utilize her sense of decoration and style to maximize a homes profit. She knows how to change the little things that can keep a home from being sold. Equipped with the knowledge of the benefits of home staging and interior redesign, Julie can see to it that when a house is placed on the market, its best look is put forward. Her experience and qualifications in home staging, interior decorating, and interior redesign are beneficial to any real estate market.
Her skills and experience can help homes from the largest to the smallest achieve the best look possible while standing out to the market and target area competition. In her free time Julie likes to run, exercise, cook and of course decorate homes for her friends and family.
My Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Tallahassee real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
