Julia Trader is the kind of agent who brings both warmth and wisdom to the table – someone who knows the community inside and out and shows up with heart in every interaction. A lifelong local, Julia was raised in the Scottsville area and has deep ties to the neighborhoods, families, and rhythms of Central Virginia life. Her approach to real estate is grounded in genuine care, steady guidance, and a desire to serve her clients with the same dedication she brings to her own family and community.
With a background in education and healthcare, Julia has always been drawn to roles that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. That passion for service naturally extended to real estate, where she now helps individuals and families navigate major decisions with confidence and clarity. Her clients appreciate her patience, responsiveness, and her ability to make even the most complex steps feel manageable.
At home, Julia and her husband Steven are raising three active kids who keep them on the go – whether it’s coaching local youth baseball, attending games, or homeschooling with intention and care. Fitness and the outdoors are central to their family lifestyle: hiking, kayaking, working out together, or enjoying time at Lake Monticello’s beaches. Julia’s calm energy, strong work ethic, and commitment to personal growth make her not only a trusted advisor, but someone clients are truly glad to have on their side.
