Shannon Julian
I'm a native of Chapel Hill, N.C., and my family has been in business in Chapel Hill since the mid 1930's. My Dad at 90 years old still sells menswear to his best clients. I worked with my father at Milton's Clothing Cupboard for 15 years starting in the early 1970's. During that time I learned about customer service and the importance of product knowledge. I also served as chairman of Carrboro's Board of Adjustment for five years. We decided zoning issues for some of the smaller projects requiring town approval.
My Real Estate career started in 1987 as a salesman, and in 1991 I made the change to appraising real estate. Here I get to use most of my prior business experience, along with what I learned from being a volunteer in my hometown. These diverse experiences give me a fuller understanding of the interaction of planning and zoning issues with market values and development. I also learned much about how local governments work. I'm a member of the Chapel Hill Board of Realtors, and obtained my Graduate of the Realtors Institute (GRI) in 1989. When I appraise, I'm able to bring into each report superior research and a deeper understanding of the local markets.
