About Julie Pogue

JULIE'S BIOGRAPHY

Since moving from Houston to Louisville in 1994, Julie has devoted much of her time to raising her children Elizabeth and Andrew, opening her own boutique real estate firm, and serving Louisville's community. Over the last decade, Julie's impressive resume has grown due in large part to her love for Louisville and its exciting future.

After earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas and her master's from Indiana University, Julie embarked upon a seven-year journey of teaching gifted children. "Teaching was one of the greatest experiences of my life; every day with my students was a gift," said Julie. "They taught me to embrace life and to look at every new experience with wonder and excitement."

On Derby Day 2000, Julie hit a real estate Triple Crown by receiving her real estate license, getting her first listing and selling that listing at full price all in the same day! Within months of joining Semonin Realtors, Julie became a leading candidate for "Rookie of the Year." She soon moved to Remax Properties East, where within her first full year, she received the Platinum Club Award, their highest honor.

JULIE POGUE PROPERTIES

Encouraged by this success, Julie considered establishing her own boutique real estate firm and, in 2003, she launched Julie Pogue Properties, selling historic and unique homes in the Anchorage area.

That first year of Julie Pogue Properties, Julie got out of the gate quickly and with gusto, selling more real estate than any other agent in the city, attaining the highest average sale price per home and immediately rocketing to the front as a leader in her profession. Through the years, the business has expanded to other selective areas and includes varying price points. Since the beginning, Julie has consistently been one of the highest grossing real estate agents in the Louisville area and entire state. As a result, Julie Pogue Properties has grown into a dedicated staff of office personnel and agents. Today Julie Pogue Properties is one of Louisville's leading high-end firms, providing its clients with top-flight service.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

Julie is enthusiastic for Louisville, its growth and its charm as both a Midwestern - yet somewhat Southern - metropolis. Consequently, she has eagerly reciprocated the community she loves by serving in leadership positions in a diverse group of civic, charitable, and professional organizations and boards.  These organizations and boards include the Kentucky Derby Festival Board of Directors, Junior League, National Association of Women Business Owners, Kappa Delta Alumni and the Anchorage Civic Club.

Julie currently serves as president of the Kentucky Women's Forum, a subsidiary of the International Women's Forum, which spans across five continents, 23 nations and has 64 affiliate forum locations connecting the world's most preeminent women of significant and diverse achievement who are at the very top of their game. Julie recently traveled to Rome and Hong Kong as part of the Kentucky Women's Forum.

Julie has been active for many years with the Greater Louisville Inc organization and has participated in their Top Investor tours to Dublin and Canada.

Near to Julie's heart is her help founding the Cancer Mom's of Kentucky Group.  Touched by family member, Jack, her nephew who has leukemia; Julie championed the organization of Mom's in her area to share and support one another during such a stressful time.
