Rhode Island
Juli McIntosh
Recognized as one of Rhode Island’s most trusted and well-respected real estate professionals, Juli McIntosh brings uncommon dedication, sharp market insight, and genuine human connection to every client relationship. Based in Warwick and licensed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Juli specializes in sales of all kinds, from first-time buyers to downsizers, relocations, estates, new construction, probate, and investors across both residential and commercial real estate.
Her portfolio ranges from first-time home purchases to multimillion-dollar listings, including properties from $100,000 to $3.4 million, and a landmark commercial warehouse sale. Before becoming a full-time real estate professional, Juli spent years as a registered nurse, a background that shaped her empathy, composure, and ability to guide clients through high-stakes decisions with calm expertise.
A leading real estate agent in Rhode Island, Juli is known for her blend of strategy, authenticity, and grit. Her early days in real estate were marked by determination, she famously made over 200 calls to expired listings to land her very first client. Today, her business thrives almost entirely on referrals and repeat clients, evidence of the trust she’s earned along the way.
That same tenacity now fuels her success as a top negotiator and certified expert in new construction, probate, and strategic equity moves. Beyond transactions, Juli prides herself on problem-solving and building lasting relationships through a trusted referral network that spans the entire region.
Since 2020, Juli has helped more than 130 families and investors buy and sell with confidence. She ranks within the top 1% of RE/MAX agents statewide and has earned multiple RE/MAX Platinum and Hall of Fame honors.
In 2024, Juli discreetly handled a high-profile Rhode Island home purchase for a well-known public figure, reflecting the trust clients place in her. Yet, for Juli, success is measured not in awards but in impact on the people she helps, the trust she earns, and the lives she improves through real estate.
