As the Founder and CEO of HomeStar Agency, Julia has redefined what it means to lead in real estate. With over a decade of experience, more than 200 homes sold, and offices in both Chicago and San Diego, she’s created a next-generation brokerage that seamlessly integrates real estate, mortgage, and construction services under one trusted brand. Her mission is simple yet powerful: to make every client’s journey - from financing to closing to design - feel effortless, personal, and inspired. An immigrant from Ukraine, Julia came to the United States in 2011 with no English, no family, and no financial support - only determination and faith. What began as a dream became a decade-long journey of building one of the most forward-thinking, client-centered brokerages in the industry. Julia’s greatest inspiration is her son, Roman, a bright child with intellectual disabilities and hearing loss, whose courage and joy guide her every day. She pours that same determination into her work and there’s truly no one more dedicated, hardworking, or loyal to her clients than she is. Julia treats every family she serves like her own, handling each transaction with care, precision, and heart. Those who know Julia describe her as relentless, loyal, and full of heart. There is no one more dedicated to her clients, more hands-on in every detail, or more driven to deliver results that exceed expectations.
