Biography
I was born in Taiwan but moved to the US at age five with my father, mother and a younger sister; having resided in the San Gabriel Valley for over 35 years. I graduated from Temple City High School and University of California, Riverside with a business administration degree with finance and focus on accounting. Currently I’m residing in Alhambra/Walnut with my husband and 3 year old son.
My motto in life is “YOLO”, which stands for “YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.” This goal allows me the unlimited freedom to explore life to the fullest potential, by always trying something new, being open minded to pursue new opportunities, and to give it all I have so I will never look back with regrets. Many people who know me will say I am dependable, loyal, out-going, and always thinking outside the box, because I always believe if there is a will to fight, there is always a solution. I love meeting new people and being able to connect and learn something new from others. My hobbies these days is spending time with my family. We enjoy our time together being outdoors at parks, hiking trails, beaches, and Disneyland. I also like to travel the world to learn about different cultures, cuisine, and lifestyles. My YOLO motto has also helped me become a Yelp Elite writer for the past 9 years, which allows me to express my honest opinion of my experiences. My motivation is with hopes that my yelp reviews do make a difference to help contribute to promote and grow local businesses.
I have over 16 years of banking and real estate experience as a senior business relationship manager at Wells Fargo. At the bank, I had the opportunity to work closely with various companies, with revenue size ranging from $5 million to $2 billion, being the dedicated advocate on all the bank products and services to help them succeed financially. Since I was also a lender, I was able to help many clients customize different loan programs, in order to help fulfill their dreams to either start, expand, grow their businesses, or purchase real estate property to increase their potential net worth. As a senior relationship manager at Wells Fargo Bank, I worked over 50-60 hours per week, 24/7. I even worked during my vacation time and holidays, to make sure my clients are always my top priority and well taken care of. I had a stable 6 figure+ income with a senior title at the bank, and remained a consistent top performer with many job opportunity offers from other banks. Although I over exceeded with my career, it was my personal life that I felt was somewhat a failure, because I lacked work-life balance. I always struggled to balance my time and priorities between my career, family, friends, and my personal well-being. Because of this, I always felt a sense of guilt with people in my life I loved and cared about the most. Eventually even my health started to deteriorate, and I became prediabetic.
However, it was when I became a mom when the light bulb went off, and I realized I couldn’t jeopardize my presence and bonding time with my son, over my banking career anymore. Becoming a mom was a true blessing and a life changing event. It was at that moment when I made a decision to change my career, which I believe will promote happiness, more work life balance, and bring back my overall well-being. I decided to take a leap of faith to change my career from banking to becoming a real estate broker. To be honest, I’ve always wanted to become a real estate agent because of the flexible schedule, unlimited financial freedom, and the fact that becoming an entrepreneur gives me more control on how to allocate my time and also run my own business. This career has opened new doors and provided new opportunities and freedom for my family. My son has given me purpose, ways to challenge myself, and the desire to always improve myself as a person. Being able to be present as a parent, and the ability to provide for him means everything to me. This is the main reason I chose a real estate career.
This career switch was a win-win for my clients, because it was a smooth transition into an industry in which I already had knowledge and experience, as a lender involved with many successful real estate escrow closings. I also can continue to make a difference in helping many families fulfill their dreams in buying their dream home, and have the flexibility to be more involved with my family and friends through many important milestones. As a real estate broker who currently serves in the Los Angeles county area, I am on a mission to help as many families as possible, helping and guiding them in making one of their biggest financial decisions in life. I want to be able to make a difference in helping these families access the unlimited possibilities to improve their quality of life, and establish and improve their financial freedom. My previous clients have all appreciated my flexibility, knowledge, experience, patience, problem solving skills, integrity, and open communication to listen and hear their wants and needs. With an understanding of my client’s goals and challenges, I have always committed to going the extra mile by doing my best in achieving that each and every day. My full commitment, motivation, and patience have helped me to achieve great accomplishments in my real estate career thus far. Based on past and present clients, my obligation and ultimate goal is to help them find the perfect dream home.
I interviewed with several real estate brokerages and YHSGR stood out from the rest. Instead of working as a struggling independent real estate agent, Rudy Kusuma and YHSGR has implemented a structured and proven system that will guide new and veteran real estate agents towards a guaranteed and successful real estate career. At YHSGR, we receive unlimited warm connections from consumers to buy or sell homes. This means I don’t need to struggle with cold calling, door knocking, or prospecting for new clients. We also have inside sales associates who will also generate more leads by checking on clients’ timing, needs, and motivation. We are always encouraged to participate in daily training to keep us knowledgeable, and stay adaptable with the most current market trends. We are also assigned a mentor and an accountability coach, who will continue to encourage and support our career development along the way. I am extremely honored to be part of the YHSGR family. I don’t ever go into escrows feeling alone, because this brokerage has always strived on a team approach. We succeed by working together with a full support staff, providing valuable knowledge and guidance. That’s what makes our brokerage so different from the rest. We are always ready to help others in need, and work together to tackle challenges 24/7. I am so grateful to be surrounded by so many successful real estate agents, who are always willing to help each other, share best practices, and mastermind during our struggles. Everyone I have met are professional and always genuinely wants to help. Many of these agents are now my trusted friends as well. I am very thankful to be part of YHSGR. This career has definitely changed my life for the better. I look forward to another successful year where I will continue to help as many families change their lives for the better as well.

21 Reviews on “Julie Lai”
I have worked with a few real estate agents in the past and I can’t stop raving on how happy I have been in working with Julie Lai. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly extremely patient. As a first home buyer, I really appreciate that Julie was able to hold my hand every step of the way. There are a lot of things to know and worry about when buying a home. However, Julie always took the time to go over in details on the process and was patient to make sure I was comfortable on moving forward with the next step. She always gave wise recommendations and that was very important in giving me a peace of mind that I am in good hands when working with her. She also has over 10 years of lending background. So she also worked closely with my lender to make sure the loan process was a smooth process. Julie made the home buying process seamless and hassle free. She is a problem solver. When there is a problem, she will have some solutions. I am very thankful in working with her and I highly recommend working with her. I will refer everyone I know who needs help in either selling or buying a home.
As a first time home buyer, my experience with Julie was wonderful. I worked with two other agents before we met. She took the time to get to know me and what it was I was looking for in a home. Her experience previously working as a banker as well as a real estate agent helped me understand the inner workings of the loan process as well as home buying process. Overall, a wonderful experience.
Julie did an amazing job finding our home. she was available when we needed her. As second time buyers we were picky on who would represent us and we made the great choice. We found our home in only three months it was a smooth transition.
Julie did the most amazing job with finding a home with us. Her services were the most positive out of any realtor I have met with before. Would definitely use her services again.
Julie Lai is absolutely the best!!! Receiving her call the day of my birthday confirming that I’ve got the house of my dreams was the best gift anyone could have ever given me!
She didn’t just help me to find a house, but the place that I am proud to call home. I am a very insecure person by nature, but with her guidance and knowledge she made me feel always confident about the whole process. I had a lot of questions, and she always had the right answers for me, she really understood me and the needs I had for the place I was looking for from the very beginning.
She is thorough and professional and great to work with. It’s like having a friend on the inside that is working for you. Julie is extremely helpful, honest, upfront, open, transparent, and reliable, she really cares about her clients.
I’ve had the best of experiences since I got to meet her and will always appreciate her hard work and dedication, she is very professional, and you will never find anyone better than her!! She will make sure you get the best deal possible!
I am so very glad and lucky that I found you and was able to work with you Julie, I really wish the best for you. From the bottom of my heart thank you very much for helping me find my dream home and for being so amazing!

As far as the paperwork, she explained in detail on the process, and what to expect next. Her hand holding made me felt more comfortable that I was in good hands.

I had an excellent experience working with Julie Lai as my real estate agent in buying my second home. I like to keep things simple, smooth, and straight to the point.

Julia provided a professional and efficient service. She helped us find our first home in a month and it is a perfect house.
It’s very pleasant to work with Julie Lai on house purchase. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly extremely patient. As a first time homebuyer, we have very limited understanding about purchasing a home. Julie is very knowledgeable and patient to explain everything into details, and provides professional advice and reminders for us. Highly recommended everyone who has a plan to purchase a house to cooperate with Julie Lai.
Julie IS one of the best realtors that I’ve worked with. As a lender, I couldn’t have asked for a better business partner. She’s very transparent with her clients and me. We are always communicating and strategizing on how to get the best deal possible for our clients. She’s also very professional with her clients. Julie is also a very caring person, she’s there for her clients very step of the way, guiding them and holding her clients by their hands through the process.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Julie Lai who exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, Julie’s professionalism, experience, expertise, patience, and knowledge shone through, making my home buying experience truly remarkable.
First and foremost, her professionalism was apparent from my very first interaction. She was prompt, courteous, and displayed a genuine commitment to understanding my needs and preferences. Her attention to detail and organization ensured that no stone was left unturned during the entire process.
Julie’s extensive experience in the real estate industry was evident at every step. She had a deep understanding of the local market trends, pricing strategies, and negotiation techniques. She knew how to effectively market properties and present them in the best light possible. Her expertise truly set them apart, as she provided invaluable guidance and made sound recommendations, ensuring that I made well-informed decisions. Her ability to assess property values accurately and negotiate effectively on my behalf was truly impressive.
One of the standout qualities of Julie was her exceptional patience. She recognized that buying a home is a significant life decision and that it takes time to find the perfect fit. Julie listened attentively to my concerns, answered all my questions patiently, and never pressured me into making hasty choices. Julie was always there to offer support and guidance, making me feel confident throughout the entire process.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend Julie Lai highly enough. Her professionalism, experience, expertise, patience, and knowledge made my home buying journey an absolute pleasure. Julie went above and beyond to ensure that all my needs were met, and her dedication to customer satisfaction was truly exceptional. If you are looking for a top-notch real estate agent who will go the extra mile for you, look no further!
Working with Julie was an answer to prayers. As a first time home buyer I felt so lost on where to start, and she took time to explain every step in a way that was so easy to understand. She worked hard to make sure we were putting an offer on a table that was attractive while maintaining our budget. She always arranged for private showings right away and we were often first to view a new home on the market. If we weren’t at a showing she was writing offers, getting in touch with sellers, and researching upcoming homes. (I don’t know if she even slept while working with us!) We we’re always kept in the know as she continually followed up with every house we were interested. I highly recommend Julie to anyone! She simply is the best.
Moving from Taiwan to the US was initially very overwhelming. The real estate market was quite different from Taiwan and US, so there were a lot of uncertainties about the home buying process that I didn’t understand. However, working with Julie Lai as our real estate agent made the entire home buying process simple and quick. From the moment I met Julie, her professionalism, dedication, and warm personality put me at ease. Julie’s deep knowledge of the local real estate market was truly impressive. She took the time to understand my preferences and needs, ensuring that the homes she showed were not only beautiful but also aligned with my lifestyle and priorities.
What really stood out was Julie’s commitment and patience to making me feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. There was a lot of information that I didn’t understand. However, Julie was very patient and was always available to answer my questions promptly. Her clear explanations of the US home buying process helped me navigate with ease, confidence, less hassle, and peace of mind.
The real estate market was also very competitive. We also tried a few times in submitting offers and it was difficult getting into escrow. However, Julie’s negotiation skills were remarkable, ensuring that I got the best value for my forever home and most importantly successful in getting into escrow. Julie was quick to negotiable a strong offer in order to get into escrow within 2 days from when the home was listed on market to prevent other buyers from competing on the same home.
In the end, I was so happy and can’t believe I am finally settled in my forever retirement home. Her multicultural background and understanding of my transition from Taiwan made her not just a realtor, but also a friend who genuinely cared about our well-being and happiness. If you’re moving to the US and need someone who will guide you through the home buying process seamlessly, I highly recommend Julie Lai. Thank you, Julie, for making our dream of a new forever home a reality!
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Julie. She was very organized and knowledgeable and was able to walk us through the entire process of buying a home. She went above and beyond for us to see any and every house we showed interest in, and would quickly contact sellers on our behalf. She did not pressure us to outbid other buyers. She wanted us to be comfortable in our offers and worked to make sure our offer stood out among the many others. She genuinely cares for her clients and is very personable. She has reached out even after the sell to offer additional services along with getting us in touch with every contact we needed. I would recommend Julie to anyone looking to buy a home. Thank you Julie!
Julie Lai is an outstanding Zillow agent who made my first-time home buying experience exceptional. It was hard to find the perfect home and the market was very competitive. However, Julie found an off market home and was able to negotiate a best deal for me.

Julie’s attention to detail and genuine passion for helping clients resulted in a smooth, stress-free process. I’m now happily settled in my dream home, all thanks to Julie’s expertise. Five stars don’t do justice to her excellence in real estate. Thank you, Julie!
As a first-time homebuyer in need of guidance through the escrow process, I can’t speak highly enough of Julie Lai as our real estate agent.

However, Julie Lai, helped saved the escrow by working hard with a new lender who expertly navigated me through each step, making the entire experience seamless and a successful escrow even during the holidays.
