Meet Julia
There’s a reason why Julia is consistently recognized and awarded by her local real estate community. A few, actually. An always-on REALTOR® who has a palpable passion for leading buyers and sellers through the process, Julia has earned a reputation for having her finger on the pulse of the Bay Area’s real estate market. And for good reason. San Francisco born and Menlo Park bred, the Pleasanton local has spent the past 27 years gleaning the ins and outs of the spectacular community she calls home.
Founder of her namesake team, Julia led her five-person squad to 66 million in sales last year, netting close to 500 million in career sales. But more impressive than the numbers are her glowing testimonials. A self-professed “workhorse” beloved for her contagious enthusiasm and get-it-done attitude, Julia is a shrewd negotiator who is fair, responsive, and abundantly accessible. Imbued with nearly two decades of industry experience, there’s no one better to help stage that sprawling ranch or land the oceanfront estate of your dreams.
A local legend in the Tri-Valley real estate market, it’s no surprise that Julia’s commitment to community extends beyond client care. Mother to three grown boys, she’s always been devoted to Little League boards, school site councils, and philanthropic efforts, notably founding the Young Men’s Service League of Pleasanton. Residing in Castlewood with her tight-knit brood, Julia is an intrepid hiker, savvy skier, and devout book club member. When she’s not walking her pooch, Delilah, you’ll find her enjoying her favorite bottle of pinot with friends, clients, or family, like any good Northern California native.
Real Clients. Real Results.
"My husband and I just sold our home in Pleasanton with Julia as our agent. From the time we first met with her it was obvious she was a true professional with a strong understanding of the current real estate environment, as well as how to best market our home for maximum exposure. She is well connected and was able to put us in contact with service providers to get the house ready to sell, and then did an amazing job marketing our home. Thanks for everything Julia!"

Hands down Julia and her team are the most knowledgeable when it comes to the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley markets. Julia and her entire team have treated us like family. They are extremely considerate in working to understand your long term goals and how that matches up with the dream home or investment property you are looking for. I would recommend Julia to my family and closest friends!"

"I just completed my third real estate transaction with Julia Murtagh and I can not say enough great things about Julia and her team. On the buying and selling side she was thorough, confident, professional and trustworthy. Most recently she made the sale of our home almost stress free. Julia knew exactly what we needed to do to get top dollar and had an amazing team of professionals working to make it happen for us. I highly recommend her."
Home Buyer & Seller
Julia has been our go-to Pleasanton Realtor for 8 years, both on the selling and listing side of things, and we highly recommend her for the consummate professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise that she and her team offer. You will get your money’s worth with Julia - she works harder than anyone else and truly listens to her clients, addressing their specific needs but also providing candid and relevant information to set everyone up for a satisfying result. Her depth of experience and perspective are invaluable, especially in current times with the constantly changing dynamic of local real estate. Julia and Kristy most recently helped us sell our beloved home on Second Street in Pleasanton, which was both emotional and challenging during a slight market downturn, but the Murtagh Team helped us persevere and get it done with finesse and success.

I would hire Julia and her team without hesitation in the future."

"Julia is the BEST REALTOR® anyone can have by their side! Julia and her awesome team (Amy) helped us buy our dream home! Throughout the home buying process, Julia was calm, patient yet firm with a point of view. Julia is extremely knowledgeable about the Pleasanton area, given it was a new neighborhood for us, this was a huge benefit.
