Dudum Real Estate Group, a Woman Run Business
About Our Broker/Owner, Julie Dudum Del Santo
Julie is the founder of Dudum Real Estate Group and is enjoying her third decade of being an East Bay REALTOR®. She is well-known for her superior level of client service and expert knowledge regarding the real estate market.
Julie was born, raised, and educated in the Bay Area. After graduating from St. Mary’s College, she began a career in real estate. Over the next ten years she built a thriving career through her service-focused work ethic, relationship based business, and top negotiating skills; receiving outstanding accolades such as Realtor Magazine’s prestigious “30 Under 30” award. In addition to her success as an agent, Julie assembled a group of high-achieving agents to work together to deliver exceptional service to clients. With continued proven results and a desire to grow her passion, she decided to launch her own company in 2010.
As the fastest organically grown real estate company in the East Bay, Dudum Real Estate Group is proud to hold a large portion of the market share while also earning the respect of national and international real estate groups, such as Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, The Artisan Group, and Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate.
Julie’s willingness to go the extra mile has elevated Dudum Real Estate Group to the list of Top 100 Places to Work in the East Bay year after year for best work environment. Coming from a long line of Bay Area entrepreneurs, Julie enjoys the opportunity to give back. She is actively connected to her community through various organizations including Shelter Inc., Habitat for Humanity, One Warm Coat, Lafayette Partners In Education, Helping Hands, and many others.
Julie has an undeniable love for real estate, but her true passion in life is her family. Together with her husband Tony, they have four wonderful children: AJ, Rocco, DeLuca, and Lola. When not running the business, she loves to travel, entertain, and gather with family and friends. Life is a daily adventure, and although she takes time to enjoy the journey, she also believes “the best is yet to come!”
What our agents and staff have to say about working for Julie
“Julie is a person of high integrity and is well respected in the community. She is fair and honest and truly cares about her Dudum agents and staff. Julie understands the challenges of juggling work and family because she is a master at it. She is always willing to help others do the same.”
Valerie Durantini, REALTOR®
“One thing among many that I love about working for Julie is her philosophy on balancing family and work. Family comes first, then work and don't forget to take care of yourself and have some fun too! I think that it takes a working mother/wife/partner to understand the pressures personally and professionally working women in real estate are faced with daily. Julie gets it because she lives it.”
Maria Amini, REALTOR®
“I love working for Julie specifically because of her energy and positivity. She is the busiest person I've ever met, but she will always pump the brakes and stop when you need her to listen. She has created an environment that is positive and supportive, and encourages collaboration between the agents.”
Kent Loving, Director of Marketing & Creative
“Julie works around the clock to create the most diverse, successful and caring atmosphere possible that is not found in the typical real estate brokerage. She brings so much value by providing us with current, accurate information to guide us and support us in our businesses. She goes the extra mile to educate and inspire us to perform at our very best and highest level and she is compassionate to everyone that she comes into contact with. Julie also requires us to practice real estate with the utmost respect, values and honesty by giving us her full support to accomplish this. You won't find a more loved broker anywhere!!”
Eva Elderts, REALTOR®
