Building Dreams: Julie Birt Brings Personal Touch to Mortgage Services
After a distinguished 34-year career in government, Julie Birt has embarked on a new chapter that combines her passion for housing with her commitment to helping others achieve the American Dream. As a licensed mortgage professional with Mortgage Network Solutions, LLC., Ms. Birt brings a unique perspective to the lending industry, one shaped by personal experience and a genuine commitment to client service.
Ms. Birt received her Nationwide Multi-State System Licensing number in late January, marking her official entry into the mortgage business. Her transition wasn't accidental: "I retired after a 34-year career in government and realized I like working in budgets and in the housing market ," she explains. Her background includes personal real estate investments and a fix-and-flip project, experiences that give her valuable insight into her clients' perspectives.
"I am a HGTV fanatic and really enjoy the renovation shows," Birt shares, revealing the enthusiasm that drives her work. "The creativity of the designers and the homeowner's reaction to their refreshed home never gets old." This passion for real estate transformation extends naturally to helping clients navigate one of life's most significant purchases.
Mortgage Network Solutions operates as a licensed mortgage broker across 14 states, with a strong presence on the East Coast and additional coverage in Tennessee, Michigan, Louisiana, and Arizona. Birt's approach stands apart in an industry often criticized for impersonal service.
"My philosophy is to give as much time to the client as they need," she states. "I am not working this job to process a lot of loans at a time, causing a client to not get what they need. I am building my brand on being there for the client."
Her commitment to personalized service reflects a deeper understanding of what homebuying means to families. "My goal is consistent communications in order to clarify what concerns the client may have for what is likely to be one of their biggest investments," Birt emphasizes. She prioritizes face-to-face meetings whenever possible and maintains responsive communication throughout the 30- to 60-day loan process.
Community engagement remains central to Birt's approach. She's finalizing her "Homebuyer's 101" educational session at the Fredericksburg library, tentatively planned for late July or August. "I am here for you," she tells potential clients. "If you are just planning and want to review interest rates and get an idea of the house you can afford, reach out for a no obligation estimate."
Beyond mortgage services, Birt actively contributes to her Fredericksburg community through the local Tree Stewards program and Fredericksburg Food Bank. Her community involvement reflects a lifelong commitment to service, having previously worked with orphanages overseas and supported local communities throughout her career.
For Birt, inspiration comes from resilience: "I am inspired in life by those people who can get through tough times and come through it, thriving." This philosophy guides her work, helping clients overcome financial challenges to achieve homeownership dreams.
