Welcome! Thanks for stopping by – so glad you’re here – pull up a chair and let’s visit. The Treasure Valley has been my stomping grounds for over 45 years and like so many others, I am blessed to call it home and am excited for you and your dreams here in Idaho.
As a brokerage owner, top producing REALTOR® and Lifetime Circle of Excellence Recipient – I’m here to support, educate, coach, empower and invest in you first – with knowledge, experience, finesse and proven strategies to meet and exceed your objectives.
OPENING DOORS is in my blood and a family business. My great grandfather was a real estate broker, planner and developer during the mid-century. My grandmother was both a title and escrow officer. My uncle was a mortgage broker. And my (amazing) husband Joel Hess is the Managing Broker of our Brokerage, Realty ONE Group Professionals.
In 2016 we entered the world of brokerage owners, purchasing Idaho Properties Real Estate. Idaho Properties was one of Idaho’s oldest brokerages – dating back from the 1950’s. As Joel and I worked to add new technology and resources for our team, we were discovered by Realty ONE Group. The objectives, tools, skills training, education and influx of the most innovative and resourceful technology platform was a perfect fit with our vision. In 2016, we went ROG (we like to pronounce it “rogue”) and launched Realty ONE Group Professionals, creating a coolture, where everyone has a voice within our incredibly talented agents. I’m passionate about OPENING DOORS for you!
Please call upon me whether you’re in the market to purchase sell invest or a real estate career of your own. Make it a ONEderful day!
Above and beyond. Julie went out of her way to help us find the perfect house. We actually were thinking of waiting until after the holidays before any serious shopping, hoping that prices would come down a bit more by then. But she found four listings in the area we wanted, and one was perfect. We decided that we wouldn't do any better by waiting. After we decided that it was what we wanted, Julie was a tremendous help in easing the buying process. Working with her was wonderful! Verified by RateMyAgent
Local Experience & Professional. Julie impressed me from the start by researching our home thoroughly before we met, then taking the time to explain current market conditions. Five months later when we actually listed the property for sale, I could not believe how many of our original comments during that first conversation were included in the listing. She remembered or noted them all. Nothing missed. Julie gently helped us along in getting the property ready, providing suggestions and contractors who could perform the work. All of the contractors were reliable, and did their jobs well. The team at ROG work well & communicate together for a seamless experience. Julie's years of experience in the area, coupled with a deep understanding of market predictions, rates and fluctuations led to a full price offer in two days at the price we had hoped to achieve. If I had to sum up my experience, I would say I felt protected by her experience, and her attention to detail crossing every "t" and dotting every "I" along the way. Thanks to all of you at ROG!

Superb outstanding realtor. Julie Hess knows how to sell a house! Her advertising online, with other realtors, and with an excellent yard sign is amazing. She makes sure that the house is ready for sale with her recommendations and a stager. The open houses were very effective and the follow-up with anyone who considers buying the house is excellent. She is available and returns phone calls efficiently and quickly. We highly recommend her! Verified by RateMyAgent
Excellent in every way. Julie was extremely knowledgable and helpful. It was a long process and she was very patient with us. Our property is a ranchette that has some unusual features. In addition to the "normal" process of purchasing property she did a lot of research in water rights, plot plan information on adjacent properties and general gathering of related information that was very useful in understanding in detail what we were buying. At our request she also provided us with contact information for various contractors whose work she was confident of. The bottom line is that she invested a lot of additional time so that we had a very clear understanding about our purchase. She was always very positive, and a joy to work with. We would definitely recommend Julie to someone who is looking for an agent who has her client's best interest in mind. Verified by RateMyAgent
Julie was excellent! Julie was very professional. We had some issues come up in the inspection and she took care of the scheduling of the contractors. This took a lot of stress off of us. Overall she made the process of selling our house a great experience. We would recommend Julie to everyone we know if they are in the market to buy or sell! Verified by RateMyAgent
I recently sold my Meridian Idaho home. I listed it for sale by owner using Zillow and Craigslist. Joel and Julie were the buyers realtors and were very professional. Julie was very willing to assist me through the process when I was uncertain about something and made the experience very pleasant. She communicated with me on a regular basis so I knew exactly where we were in the process. I would highly recommend both of them if you are looking for a realtor.
This is the second home I've purchased with Joel and Julie Hess as my agents, and the first home I sold. During the entire process I felt so safe and secure, they really are great and know what they are doing. We bought a beautiful home and we are delighted.
Julie has helped us purchase and sell several investment properties. She has an in-depth knowledge of this market and property values. We rely on her estimates of after repair values when purchasing properties for rehabbing. And, when we list, her marketing is second to none, so far we have always sold for as much or, in most cases, more than she told us up front. Having an agent we can trust is vital to our business. Her team does an outstanding job, she is absolutely our go to agent!
I was referred to Joel and Julie by a friend ever since the first meeting they were very thorough on what we were looking for and kept us aware of all the properties that fit our criteria. Most of all they helped us get the house we wanted!
