From finding our perfect home to making the offer/counter offer, she was very accomodating to our needs. She kept everything on track with the lender, seller, home inspector, insurance and title manager. She even stuck around to work out any issues that arose after the sale! Puchasing a home is stressful enough on its own, finding an agent that is sincere and in your corner is another. My wife and I feel very fortunate to have found her and will not look any further when we purchase our next home. **★★★★★ — cf2013, June 2013** > We have bought and sold with Julie - 2 houses, 1 condo, 2 lots and we are not done! Julie has been with us through all - a consummate professional, she knows her market and is a pleasure to work with, neverending patience, knowledgeable and really really nice! Highly recommended **★★★★★ — heisere, May 2013** > Julie defines customer service. She is the consummate professional and we very much enjoyed working with her. We live out of state and she went above and beyond in making sure she supported our needs, even though we were 900 miles away. She worked with us over several months to help us find the perfect home and we are now living the dream! Will recommend her to everyone we know. **★★★★★ — dgryan, May 2013** > Julie Dorathy is our real estate agent in Destin, Florida who has been working with us for two years while we looked for another vacation home. She has been amazing - always helpful, always cheerful and hard-working and never losing patience or interest with us. She kept an eye out for properties she thought would interest us, never put an pressure on us and when we finally found a property we wanted to purchase, she was able to handle the sale for us long distance. > My husband is a retired general contractor and land developer who specialized in high end homes and I've been a real estate agent and interior designer so both of us are real estate professionals ourselves and have dealt with many agents during our years in business. > Julie is at the top of our list of agents and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Destin/Santa Rosa Beach area. We will be working with her on other projects in the next few years and we've made a friend for life. **★★★★★ — selderlaw, May 2013** > Julie Dorathy has worked with me as a realtor on many properties, but was always more than a realtor, offering advice on projects to make the property more valuable and being available better than any realtor I've worked with. Without her guidance and attention to when a property was becoming available I would not have been as successful in real estate. > I have worked with Julie for approx ten years but the dates below will not reflect more than one date ## Selected projects - [Bath Crow Valley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bath-crow-valley-pj-vj~6847063) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Listing--Old Florida Village](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/listing-old-florida-village-pj-vj~244649) - Location: Santa Rosa Beach, FL - Photos: 11 - Description: Beach house in popular Old Florida Village for Sale $449,000 Prudential Pen Fed Julie Dorathy MLS 598837.

Not loving any that I’ve tried so far: \#1 is Mapei warm gray, too brownish. \#2 is The Tile Shop dove gray, too light and makes the tiles look washed out. \#3 Mapei silver, too dark for me although husband likes it. Shower wall tile has Mapei frost grout in 2nd photo. Any other gray grout suggestions for the floor tile? A: I love the floor and walls.. remember its a shower floor.. I’d use the same as the walls and call it a day. Darker on floor will ”hide” stuff and thats not bad. Can you please tellme your tile selections? I like both… and Im in process too! **Q: Found the perfect pendant. Now do we get 2 or 3?** *(in Lighting)* My wife and I are building and found the perfect pendant for our kitchen island from Uttermost: The question is, ”do we hang 2 or 3?” The kitchen is 15x17x10 WxDxH and the island is 9x5. The light is 23Hx16W. For what it’s worth, I prefer 3… A: Is 16 wide the widest part of pendant? Is island in yet? You could mock up the size and see what you think… Not an expert here by any means. That is a big island so you may be able to pull off three… **Q: Samsung frame tv above fireplace** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello, was wanting to know the experience of people who have the Samsung frame tv over the fireplace. That’s the only place where we can put the tv and because the tv is flushed to the wall and it’s not at our eye level, I wanted to know if this messes up the viewing experience TIA A: I actually like the TV above the fireplace.. **Q: Luxury Vinyl color—please advise!!** *(in Home Decorating)* Hello. I would be most grateful for your design advice. I will be laying new flooring throughout the house. Wall color is SW agreeable gray. I had this laid as a test run and I’m not loving the color. Your thoughts? It was very inexpensive to do as I managed to get the materials for free. So I don’t have qualms about taking it out and starting with another color. Your thoughts on what color would look fantastic with agreeable gray.? Your thoughts about this color and if you don’t think it blends well what is throwing it off? Too much brown or too dark? Thank you!!! A: decor and rugs will change look. I used mannington dockside seashell and agreeable grey walls **Q: Has anyone bought their luxury vinyl plank flooring online** *(in Home Decorating)* We are shopping for luxury vinyl plank flooring for our basement, and I'm wondering where most people purchase theirs. There really aren't that many retail flooring options if you aren't interested in Home Depot or Lowes. Has anyone purchased name brand flooring from an online source? I know there are a few places that just sell their own brand of lvp, but what about other name brands? A: Nope. Going w a reputable local resource and same w install. **Q: Nuvelle Density Plus Luxury Vinyl Reviews?** *(in Flooring)* Has anyone used this company? Reviews of their LVP? It looks like the company is just a distributor from China? The specs seem to meet all the basic check marks. Of course we love the color and bevel but I dont know if we trust a small company like this for over 1,000 sq ft of flooring? NUVELLE Density Collection Oak Chardonnay - Density Plus BrandNUVELLE Product Line NameDensity Collection Color NameOak Chardonnay - Density Plus Sku\#DEN11PAD Width7" Length48" Installation MethodFloating CategoryLVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) ApplicationCommercial;Residential A: I think that I had installation issues and a quite imperfect subfloor. The product looks great but I am having with the “float”. I am working w a good retailer who vets installers. I did not have this issue w the last installation of same product. I suspect that the subfloor was not properly prepared prior to application. I still love the look but I am not happy w installation. Working to resolve. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
