Selling Your
Gulf Coast Home
Julie Papagni is a Broker Associate with eXp Realty specializing in luxury home sales across Sarasota, Nokomis, Venice, Bradenton, Palmer Ranch, Siesta Key, and Lakewood Ranch — with 24 years of real estate experience in strategic pricing, premium marketing, and tough negotiation. Her focus is the $750K–$1M+ luxury segment, and she's been living in the Sarasota area for five years as a Palmer Ranch local. Selling a luxury home in Southwest Florida requires more than listing it on the MLS. It demands the kind of dedicated, hands-on representation that Julie has built her career on.
How Does Julie Sell Your Home?
Strategic Pricing
I analyze current market data, comparable sales, and your home's unique features to set a price that creates urgency among qualified buyers while maximizing your return. In a shifting market, this is where experience matters most.
Prepare & Stage
First impressions matter. I guide you on the preparations that deliver the highest ROI, from minor touch-ups to professional staging.
Premium Marketing
Professional photography, compelling listing descriptions, targeted digital marketing, and my network of agents and buyers who trust my recommendations.
Expert Negotiation
This is where experience pays off. With 24 years of real estate experience — including leading 400 agents and spending 1.5 years as a productivity coach training agents in negotiation — I know how to protect your interests and secure the best possible terms.
Smooth Closing
From accepted offer to closing day, I manage inspections, appraisals, repairs, and paperwork. You focus on planning your next chapter.
Get the Most From Your Sale
Price Right From Day One
Overpriced homes sit on the market and lose their appeal. Data-driven pricing creates urgency and competition among buyers.
Invest in Curb Appeal
Buyers form an opinion within seconds of seeing your home. Landscaping, paint, and a clean entry make a measurable difference.
Depersonalize & Declutter
Buyers need to envision themselves in the space. Remove personal items, excess furniture, and anything that makes rooms feel smaller.
Know Your Market Timing
Southwest Florida has seasonal buying patterns. Listing at the right time can mean the difference between multiple offers and a price reduction.
How Does Julie Negotiate on Your Behalf?
I've trained other agents in negotiation — it's not just a skill I use, it's one I teach. Before moving to Sarasota from Michigan, I spent 1.5 years as a productivity coaching agent and led 400 agents as Team Leader and CEO of a Keller Williams office. When you hire me to sell your home, you're getting a Broker Associate with 24 years of real estate experience who knows the tactics, the psychology, and how to protect your bottom line — especially in the $750K–$1M+ luxury segment. That includes new construction transactions, where builder contracts demand a sharp eye and experienced advocacy.
As I tell every client, I'll work so hard for you. You'll still be talking about me in five years.
I'm not an agent that goes into hiding. I don't have assistants doing my work for me. You get me, directly, through every offer, counteroffer, and closing.
Let's talk about your home's potential.
From luxury waterfront to new construction, I'll provide a data-driven assessment of what your home is worth and a strategy to sell it for the best price. No obligation, no gimmicks.
