I write this testimonial because of the exemplary job Julie Lovett did representing my two most recent real estate transactions, the purchase and sale of my penthouse condominium on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. I researched real estate professionals focused on the West Side specifically Santa Monica and Julie’s name was listed as representation for numerous successful transactions of high-end properties on and around Ocean Avenue. Her extensive knowledge and a high level of expertise in this niche market was a significant factor in my asking her to represent me. After interviewing her I was confident she was the right choice to represent me.
I had thorough confidence and trust in her representing my property as a pocket listing and how she positioned it in a very discreet and professional manner to high net worth Buyers. Julie’s calm, professional personality is an excellent fit to interact with an array of very qualified Buyers.
Julie and her team presented creative, unique ideas and service that went beyond my expectations. They were present through all stages transaction, overseeing the entire inspection and repair process including obtaining necessary permits.

Professional, tireless, wise, and human! She will go to the mat for you, get everything you ask for, and somehow make every step along the way as simple as possible.
-Sheda Morshed
Thank you very much for a job well done. I didn’t think selling our house would be this easy.
From the very beginning you laid out an extensive marketing plan to sell our house. You kept us posted every step of the way. As the market situation changed you altered your plans to address the new selling climate.
As offers came in you accessed each one and helped guide us to what turned out to be the best one. Not only was the price the most favorable, but the other sales terms you negotiated helped make the whole transaction smooth and quick with no conditions or delays.
Once again, thanks for making the sale a pleasant and profitable experience.
-Craig Masuoka
It was a pleasure working with Julie Lovett and Jennifer Bhang in the sale of our house.
From start to finish they made the whole process easy for us and took care of everything. They displayed their problem solving skills when we hit a couple “bumps in the road” and resolved the issues quickly and to the complete satisfaction of the parties involved.
Throughout the sales process Julie and Jennifer kept us informed and communicated in a clear, positive manner.
When I’m ready to buy or sell another house Julie and Jennifer will be the first ones I call.

Julie Ellis Lovett demonstrates a keen understanding of the west side real estate market and has been of warm and wise counsel to me in the purchase of two Pacific Palisades homes and the ultimate sale of one of them. Throughout the process, she remained attentive but never pushy, offering effective insights during both routine
and more complicated transactions. She was consistently on time, straightforward and rational.
With years of experience behind her, Julie’s fluency in area properties, streets
and neighborhoods is always reassuring, and she provides a level of patience and support that entirely removes anxiety from the buying and selling experience.-Hilary Clark
As a practicing CPA for over 40 years I’ve helped many clients purchase their family residence and worked with many real estate brokers.
I personally have purchased and sold several homes in my lifetime and used different real estate brokers to handle the sale/purchase transactions.
Recently, I engaged Julie Lovett to sell my home on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica and she really impressed me with the extensive data she had available for the Westside real estate market.
She also had an extensive list of potential homebuyers in her contact list which made marketing of my home very active.
Her keen understanding of real estate and business in general separates her from most other brokers I’ve worked with in the past.
Her bedside manner is terrific and her wise counsel has been very helpful to me in selling my home for 20% higher than I expected.
Her ability to negotiate the transaction, solve issues, direct a smooth escrow, communication and trustworthiness are quite impressive.
I truly appreciated her insight and professionalism and she never pressured me during the entire process.
I would highly recommend Julie if you’re looking for a smart, effective broker to help you with your next real estate transaction.-Mel Poteshman, CPA, CFE
I was referred to Julie Lovett by a dear friend whom she represented in the purchase of their home in Santa Monica. She came highly recommended as the leading realtor on the Westside of Los Angeles. We were impressed from the start as she is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and market. Julie is a great communicator and provided us with excellent information and guidance during our search for a home. She is a pleasure to work with and made our first buying experience a smooth transaction!
-Jennifer Bhang
I could not have been more pleased with Julie as my realtor. She is not only intelligent but her expertise serves her well and she was willing to go the distance with me until I found exactly what suited me.
Julie Lovett was recommended to me by a very dear friend. I was told she was the best realtor to contact in Santa Monica because she had been living in the area and selling real estate there for over twenty years. I did not want the new kid on the block. I wanted someone with experience.
I found Julie to be not only extremely knowledgeable as to what was currently on the market but she practically knew the history of every single house on each street. I was impressed! She e-mailed properties to me daily to see if any of them caught my eye. I would then pick a few to my liking & together we drove to the various locations all while Julie was explaining the pros & cons of each area to me.
I could not have been more pleased with Julie as my realtor. She is not only intelligent but her expertise serves her well and she was willing to go the distance with me until I found exactly what suited me.
She found a property that wasn’t on the market yet and I have been thankful to her ever since. She is not a pushy, in your face realtor. Instead, Julie is a first class lady with a USC degree who is refined, prepared and an expert in her field. She will close the deal, be ever so polite to all the other agents she is working with and find you for the property of your dreams.

It is a great pleasure to recommend Julie Lovett. She is an experienced, highly knowledgable, very attentive expert in Santa Monica residential real estate. She also has an excellent sense of her clients’ needs and is smoothly able to handle both complex people and complex transactions.
In the time we worked together as she successfully marketed my residence in a difficult market, I found her unfailingly “present” in every aspect of the process and unfailingly productive. Julie knows the market, the properties and the clients and is able to bring them all together to everyone’s satisfaction. And she was, without exception, the most professional real estate transaction “finisher” I have ever encountered, providing information, guidance, good sense and complete documentation–and good humor–at every stage.
I recommend her highly and look forward to working with her again.

Between 2005 and 2007, Julie Lovett represented me and my family on the sale of a property in Santa Monica as well as the purchase of another property – also in Santa Monica.
Julie’s professionalism and thoroughness were exemplary. She exhibited a deep knowledge about the local real estate market and provided sound and judicious advice during both the sale and purchase process. She was always professional, informed and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering a sale or purchase of residential real estate. She comes highly recommended.

I first met Julie Lovett when she represented the buyer on our house in Brentwood. I was so impressed with her professional skills and demeanor that I asked her to represent us in a search for a home in Santa Monica. A purchase was made within two weeks.
This month I asked her to assist in a purchase of a home in Pacific Palisades and again found her all I could ask for in an agent. The “deal was done” in one weekend. She seems to have limitless resources, always responds to calls promptly and follows through with whatever is needed.
I can recommend her services without reservation.
– Ron Segall
I have had the distinct honor of doing business with Julie Lovett for twenty-five years. I hold her in such high esteem, that when I recently decided to market my home in Santa Monica, I never considered utilizing the services of any other broker.
The reasons for this are as follows. I first met Julie in 1982 and have consulted with her on real estate matters ever since. I know many real estate professionals who know her; and I can say, without reservation, that every one of them, including myself, respects and admires her as a professional with the highest degree of knowledge, competence and integrity.
I recommend her wholeheartedly.
– Robert E. Brown
Julie Lovett was our real estate agent for some six months as we tried and eventually succeeded in purchasing a condo in the Santa Monica area. After three failed bids, including a short sale that the Bank never approved in the time of our contract, we finally purchased a condo with her help this past October 2010. In all these negotiations, Ms. Lovett was extraordinarily efficient in terms of providing the necessary paperwork, ordering the proper exams and keeping in daily contact with us. What might have proven a very difficult process was made easier by her work. She was also practical in her advice, never attempting to influence our decision with exaggerated claims, and she was able to handle long distance negotiations, when at various times we were in Europe or South America and she had to submit our various bids. Finally we always found her sympathetic to our needs, extremely knowledgeable about the current market conditions, and a very pleasant person in general. Given this extraordinary experience, we would most enthusiastically recommend her to anyone interested in purchasing a home in the Los Angeles area.
