About Julia Shoemaker
A full-time REALTOR® since 2005, Julia Shoemaker has built a distinguished reputation as one of Idaho's leading luxury real estate professionals. Her success is rooted in her ability to adapt, continually learn, and refine her craft - all while keeping her primary focus where it belongs: serving her clients at the highest level. An established leader in the Idaho real estate market, Julia brings more than 21 years of experience and is a Lifetime Production Award Recipient of the Boise Regional REALTORS® "Circle of Excellence" program for outstanding performance. Consistently ranked in the top 1% of agents in the State of Idaho, she has helped hundreds of clients achieve their real estate goals, with career sales exceeding $280 million. Having lived in the Treasure Valley since 1979, Julia has witnessed Idaho's transformation firsthand - from a quiet, emerging market to one of the most sought-after destinations in the country. Over the decades, she has successfully navigated both boom and challenging markets, expanding her expertise from assisting distressed homeowners with short sales to earning membership in the prestigious Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. She holds the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation and has received Million Dollar Guild recognition for exceptional performance. Julia is also a Board Certified Land Agent, further strengthening her expertise in acreage, ranch, and development properties. Julia has built a thriving business representing a wide range of properties - from starter homes to luxury estates, equestrian properties, ranches, and premier acreage developments. She believes that luxury is defined not by price point, but by the experience delivered, and she tailors every transaction to the individual needs of her clients. Her industry recognition extends beyond sales. Julia was honored to guest-host six Boise episodes of HGTV's National Open House program and represented the sale of the historic Moore-Cunningham Mansion - the nation's first geothermally heated home - located on Warm Springs Avenue in Boise. When she isn't assisting clients, Julia enjoys time with her family - her husband Stuart, their three sons Tyler, Jeremy, and Stuart Jr., her beloved horses, and her rescue dog, Agnes. She is an avid golfer and angler and has an accomplished equestrian background as a former Miss Rodeo Idaho, First Runner-Up for Miss Rodeo America, team roper, and Reserve Rookie of the Year with the National Reining Horse Association. Julia is deeply committed to giving back to her community. She serves on the Board of Directors as Treasurer for Boise's Dress for Success organization and has long been involved in a variety of charitable and civic efforts. In addition, she is a committee member for the Spurs & Spikes event-a volunteer-led fundraiser benefiting the Sandy McLeod Memorial Crisis Fund, where 100% of proceeds go directly to supporting local families facing unexpected medical challenges. If you are considering hiring a REALTOR®, you should highly consider Julia Shoemaker. She is the ultimate professional - consistent, honest, and deeply committed to her clients. She leads with integrity, communicates clearly, treats people fairly, and - perhaps most importantly in today's fast-moving market - she answers her phone. Experience matters.
