Julia Thornton, a native of Columbia, South Carolina, has always been drawn to the beauty of lakes, coasts, and mountains. Growing up in Mobile, Alabama, and Asheville, North Carolina, she developed a deep appreciation for diverse landscapes and lifestyles. Now happily settled in Lexington, South Carolina, Julia enjoys life with her husband, their two children, and their golden retrievers, Sadie and Potter.
Julia’s passion for real estate was inspired by personal experiences helping family find their dream home. “One of my favorite memories is helping my sister and her family find the perfect property,” she recalls. “They needed plenty of acreage for their horses, and we found a beautiful home that was exactly right for them.” That hands-on experience sparked her desire to guide others in discovering their ideal homes, especially in the lakefront market.
Before becoming a realtor, Julia dedicated herself to raising her children, a role that taught her patience, empathy, and the joy of helping families grow. These qualities seamlessly transitioned into her real estate career, where she focuses on making the buying and selling process smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.
Specializing as a lakefront expert, Julia knows the ins and outs of Lake Murray and surrounding communities. “Lake Murray never fails to put a smile on my face,” she says. “Its sparkling waters and peaceful vibes make me feel at home, and I love sharing that experience with my clients.” Her summers are spent on the water with her family, creating memories while guiding clients through some of the area’s most desirable properties.
With Lake Homes Realty, Julia combines her passion, local knowledge, and dedication to family life to help clients find not just a house, but a home where they can build their own lasting memories.
