If you're a real estate agent looking for a sponsoring broker in East Texas, or you're considering getting your license and want to know which brokerage will set you up for success, this is for you.

Choosing where to hang your license is one of the most important decisions you'll make in your real estate career. The right brokerage can accelerate your success, provide the support you need, and create an environment where you thrive. The wrong one can hold you back, isolate you, and make every transaction harder than it needs to be.

Julie Woods and Associates Real Estate Firm isn't just the best brokerage to work with in East Texas—it's the best brokerage to work for. Here's why agents choose Julie Woods and Associates, and why you should too.

The Brokerage Other Agents Wish They'd Joined

Let's start with the facts. Julie Woods and Associates has been:

  • Voted #1 Real Estate Brokerage in East Texas (multiple consecutive years)
  • Voted #1 Realtor in East Texas (Broker/Owner Julie Woods, multiple years)
  • #1 in Locals Love Us in both Brokerage and Realtor categories

These awards matter because they come from the community—the very people you'll be serving. When clients already trust and respect your brokerage, your job as an agent becomes significantly easier.

Think about it: Would you rather explain why your brokerage is reputable, or join a team that's already recognized as #1?

Two Strategic Office Locations

Julie Woods and Associates operates two offices serving East Texas:

Longview Office:
📍 1116 Judson Road, Longview, TX

Kilgore Office:
📍 402 N. Henderson Blvd, Kilgore, TX

What This Means for You as an Agent:

  • Flexibility - Choose the office closest to your farm area
  • Professional meeting space - Impress clients with professional office locations
  • Team support - Access to colleagues and resources at both locations
  • Market coverage - Serve clients throughout East Texas with convenience
  • Credibility - Physical offices that show stability and commitment

Unlike brokerages that operate from someone's home office or only exist online, Julie Woods and Associates provides you with professional office space that elevates your credibility with clients.

Led by a Broker Who Actually Cares About Your Success

Here's something rare in real estate: Julie Woods is a broker who genuinely cares about her agents' success as much as her own.

Many brokers see agents as revenue sources—people who pay desk fees or generate splits while the broker sits back. Julie built Julie Woods and Associates on a completely different model.

Who is Julie Woods?

Professional Credentials:

  • 18 years of successful East Texas real estate experience
  • Voted #1 Realtor in East Texas multiple years
  • Active broker who still works with clients and understands what you face daily
  • Deep knowledge she freely shares with her team

Extraordinary Character:

  • Living Kidney Donor (2024) - Julie selflessly donated one of her kidneys to her father, a life-saving act that speaks volumes about her heart and character. That kind of courage and generosity is the same spirit she brings to her work, her team, and everyone she supports.
  • Star Over Longview Award (2018) - One of East Texas's most prestigious community honors
  • City of Longview Community Recognition (2018) - Official recognition for community impact
  • Stephen F. Austin State University Outstanding Young Alumni Award (2017)

Her Philosophy: Julie built this brokerage on one principle: "To serve with my whole heart and leave nothing on the table in all that I do."

This isn't just how she treats clients—it's how she treats her agents. Julie is invested in your success because your success is the firm's success.
