Meet Julia – Broker at Cross Street!

Julia isn’t your average broker—she’s a powerhouse specializing in luxury rentals, multifamily sales, residential sales, and investment sales. Julia’s success is fueled by a magic blend of family values, an unyielding work ethic, and a fierce motivation to succeed. Time management, organization, and responsiveness are her secret weapons. Hospitality runs in her blood, and she loves using these skills to work with her clients.

Julia has a habit of jumping on big projects and achieving remarkable results. With wide expertise in Chicago neighborhoods, she’s your 24/7 real estate maestro, always on your timeline. Julia loves being a resource, connecting clients to her extensive network of real estate pros. 

When she’s not conquering the real estate world, she’s on a mission to find the best Italian restaurants in Chicago—just like the ones in Florence where she grew up. Julia is also fluent in Albanian, Italian, Spanish, and English! Friends cherish her for being loyal, supportive, understanding, generous, and a workaholic. Clients rave about her passion, dedication, responsiveness, accessibility, and problem-solving prowess. 

Julia can’t live without people around her—she’s a true people-person at heart! Fun fact: Her first listing was a $1.15 million sale of a multi-unit building during her first week as a real estate agent, and she nailed it!  Also, she played a pivotal role in leasing up a 196-unit new construction in the West Loop, opening doors to more opportunities for herself and the company.

Julia did an amazing job, we can’t recommend her enough!! Moving to Chicago from out of state and she helped us find places to tour, set everything up, and took us to all of our tours. She made everything easy and helped us through the tough decision of which apartment to apply to! Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help us find our dream apartment – Ashley H.

Julia was really responsive and on top of that, flexible with her schedule. Nothing took more than 1 business day for us to schedule and see! She also is really knowledgeable about the home-buying process, and helped us through this process, and answered many questions we had. 5/5! – Gilbert Y.

Can’t say enough good things about my experience with my agent Julia. She did a great job on the sale of my first investment property, 5-flat located at 2815 N. Harding Ave. in the popular Logan Square neighborhood. I have worked with other good agents before. However, one of Julia’s competitive advantage was communication management and data insights. She was able to sell my asset for a near $400,000 increase from my acquisition price last year. Knowledgeable, helpful & a straight shooter. Five stars. – Xhevahir A.

Julia made my first time home purchase beyond great. She was organized, clear, and flexible throughout the process. It was important for me to have someone guide me onto next steps as I had in my mind to close with a specific date. Julia easily is knowledgeable and a professional in the market. – Essy C.

Julia gave me a thorough tour of 21 E. Chestnut. She was receptive to my needs and requirements in looking for a new apartment. Additionally, she answered all my questions and was communicative throughout the process. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for an apartment in Chicago. – Waheeda N.

Julia was fantastic! So responsive, kind, and helpful! After receiving inadequate help from previous (unrelated) brokers, I called Julia directly and she connected me with an application for my dream apartment immediately! She helped through every step of the process and helped me secure my dream apartment! – F.R.

I’ve had the best experience with Julia! She is extremely helpful and kind, any time I’ve had a question about the Peak Properties process, she was able to help and her response time is probably on average within about a 1 hour time frame. She also followed through consistently on pinging the necessary parties to move things forward. – Allyssa B.

“Julia was incredibly helpful. We were super impressed with how organized she was and how she showed the apartments. She also went out of her way to show us the Sage after the Aberdeen and was very flexible. Unfortunately, the two properties were not in the location we wanted but if the apartment we liked didn’t have our move in date, we would have gone with the Aberdeen due to Julia’s knowledge and selling of the property. We are passing her information on to our friends and family who are looking – it is so rare to have a broker who is patient and knowledgeable and flexible. Julia was all of those things! Thank you Julia and thanks for making a lasting impression with those apartments that we feel confident referring our friends and family!” – Elizabeth L.
