Broker Associate - REALTOR®

If you're searching for a trusted Venice, Florida Realtor with deep local knowledge, proven results, and a reputation built on relationships, welcome. I'm Julie Willett, a Broker Associate with NextHome Excellence and a top-producing Realtor specializing in Venice, Wellen Park, North Port, Nokomis, Osprey, Sarasota, Englewood, Port Charlotte, and surrounding Southwest Florida communities.

For more than 28 years, I've proudly called this area home. I've watched neighborhoods grow from empty fields into thriving communities, giving my clients insight that simply can't be learned from market reports or online data. My roots here run deep, and I use that local knowledge every day to help buyers, sellers, retirees, second-home owners, and investors make confident real estate decisions.

Throughout my career, I've successfully guided hundreds of buyers and sellers through the purchase and sale of Florida real estate. Whether you're searching for a luxury home in Wellen Park, a waterfront property in Venice, new construction in North Port, a golf community in Sarasota, or a maintenance-free villa in Nokomis or Osprey, I provide expert guidance backed by experience, strong negotiation skills, and a commitment to exceptional service.

My specialties include:

  • Venice, Florida homes for sale
  • Wellen Park real estate
  • New construction homes
  • Luxury homes
  • Golf course communities
  • Waterfront properties
  • Pool homes
  • Active adult and retirement communities
  • Relocation to Florida
  • Downsizing and right-sizing
  • First-time home buyers
  • Investment properties
  • Listing and marketing homes for sale
  • Buyer representation
  • Residential real estate throughout Sarasota County and Charlotte County

My business philosophy is simple: Humans Over Houses. Every transaction represents someone's next chapter, and I never lose sight of that. While I leverage cutting-edge technology, AI-powered marketing, professional photography, cinematic video, social media, and targeted digital advertising to maximize exposure for my listings, I believe real estate will always be a people business.

Clients consistently choose me because they appreciate honest communication, strategic advice, responsive service, and a calm, knowledgeable advocate throughout the buying or selling process. I don't believe in high-pressure sales. I believe in educating my clients, protecting their interests, and helping them make decisions they'll feel good about years from now.

As a longtime local resident, I'm also a resource for far more than real estate. I help newcomers understand neighborhoods, schools, builders, flood zones, insurance considerations, HOA communities, lifestyle options, local businesses, restaurants, beaches, golf courses, boating, and everything that makes Florida's Gulf Coast such an incredible place to live.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Julie was one of most helpful individuals that my wife and I have ever worked with. She returned all of our calls, in a timely, when she was not available to speak to either one of us, answered all of our questions and offered helpful information that made our home buying, relatively, that much easier to understand and, of course, deal with. She is, in our opinion, a throw back to what customer service u...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Julie Willett was a very professional realtor who took excellent care of us throughout the home-buying process. Even after we purchased the house, she continued to help by referring us to several tradespeople who were just as awesome as she was. We truly appreciated her support, responsiveness, and dedication, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

After a very disappointing experience with another realtor, working with Julie Willett was a breath of fresh air. From the very beginning, Julie restored our confidence with her professionalism, honesty, and dedication. She listened to our concerns, kept us informed every step of the way, and made us feel like we were her top priority. Since we were no longer living in the area, Julie took care of every...

Relationships Over Transactions

Humans Over Houses is more than a slogan - it's the foundation of how I do business. Real estate isn't just about contracts, square footage, or closing dates. It's about people navigating some of life's biggest transitions: buying a first home, growing a family, downsizing, relocating, or starting a new chapter. That's why I put relationships before transactions. I take the time to understand your goals, answer your questions honestly, and provide guidance that's in your best interest - even if it doesn't lead to an immediate sale. My job isn't to sell you a house; it's to help you make the right decision for your life. When you work with me, you'll never be treated like a transaction or a commission check. You'll be treated like a person whose trust matters. Because at the end of the day, houses are simply where life happens - but the people inside them are what matter most.
