Julia was recently featured in the Hampton Roads magazine article ” The Real Estate Roller Coaster”. Below is an excerpt from the article.

“Sellers need to understand that the condition of their house is vitally important,” says Julia Shea, a Realtor with Nancy Chandler Associates. “They also need to understand that their asking price must be based on the current market, and not what they paid for the house, what the tax assessment is or what their friends and neighbors say the house is worth. It is not a terrible market. Homes are selling, but buyers are more selective, and sellers need to be proactive in making their property stand out from the competition.”
