About Julia Foard Lynch
Julia — REALTOR®, Interior Designer & Team Leader
Celebrating 20 Years of Real Estate, Design, and Relationships
In addition to being a REALTOR®, I am also an Interior Designer. For years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients throughout the Piedmont and Northern Virginia areas—helping them not only buy and sell homes, but also transform their spaces to reflect both style and value.
My background in design has allowed me to offer a unique edge in the market. I’ve written for newspapers and real estate magazines, sharing staging and design advice to help homes stand out. I’ve worked closely with homeowners on renovations and redecoration projects, and many of my clients have credited those improvements for helping their homes sell faster and for top dollar.
Simply put: I love homes! Fixing them up, making them shine, and seeing my clients succeed in the market brings me joy. A home is one of the most important investments a person will ever make—it should feel good to live in and be positioned to perform well when it’s time to sell. From finding the perfect property, to guiding wise improvements, to listing and closing with success, I bring both experience and heart to every step of the process.
Since becoming a REALTOR® in 2005, I’ve been honored with multiple awards, including recognition from the Greater Piedmont Area Association of REALTORS® and being named a Washingtonian Top Residential Real Estate Producer in both 2023 and 2024.
In 2021, I launched Cornerstone Realty Team, LLC—a decision that turned out to be one of the most timely and rewarding of my career. In 2022, I began listing for a nationwide builder, and over the last three and a half years, my team and I have partnered with builder representatives to list five new home communities in Virginia. This success led me to obtain my West Virginia real estate license, where we’ve since listed seven additional new home communities. This growth has truly been a team effort, and I’m beyond grateful for my Cornerstone Realty Team. Without them, I could not have managed such a large and exciting opportunity on my own.
Like many veteran agents, I weathered the housing crash and learned “everything I never wanted to know” about real estate during that time. Yet, the silver lining was the invaluable experience I gained working with asset companies, preparing valuation reports, and analyzing distressed properties. That training has helped me sharpen my skills in pricing strategy, property analysis, and market evaluation—benefits I bring directly to my clients today.
Real estate is rarely one-size-fits-all. Whether a client is buying, selling, or doing both simultaneously, every transaction has its own unique challenges and moving parts. That’s why it’s essential to work with an agent who is experienced, responsive, and fully committed to protecting your best interests from start to finish.
This year, I’m proud to celebrate my 20th anniversary in real estate. The most rewarding part of this journey has been the incredible relationships I’ve built with so many wonderful clients along the way. If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, I’d love to be a part of your story.
Let’s connect! I’m here to help you move forward—with confidence, care, and results.
