We have some exciting news to share — and we don't say this lightly, because 2025 was one of the most challenging years the real estate industry has seen in recent memory.
The Julian Realty Team has been awarded the San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) Circle of Excellence Silver Level for Small Teams, recognizing teams that achieved $30 million in sales or sold between 25 and 59 units. And on an individual level, Broker-Associate Tiffany Bagalini was honored with the Individual Gold Level award, reserved for agents who achieved $25–$50 million in sales or closed between 16 and 30 units.
These aren't just plaques on a wall. In a year when elevated mortgage rates, limited inventory, and market uncertainty caused transaction volume to drop significantly across the board — these results reflect something real: an unwavering commitment to our clients, our community, and our craft.
What Makes This Year Different
Let's be honest about what 2025 looked like for most real estate agents. Nationally, home sales hit multi-decade lows. Many agents — experienced ones — saw their business cut in half. The Julian and backcountry market was not immune to those headwinds.
And yet, the Julian Realty Team kept delivering.
This recognition from SDAR is meaningful precisely because of how hard the environment was. Awards earned in boom markets tell one story. Awards earned in the trenches tell another. This one was earned the hard way — through consistent effort, strategic thinking, and a genuine refusal to make excuses.
Four Years Running — The #1 Team in 92036 & 92070
This achievement is part of a larger pattern. For the fourth consecutive year, the Julian Realty Team has sold more homes and land in the combined 92036 and 92070 zip codes than any other local real estate team. Julian. Santa Ysabel. Borrego Springs. Ramona. This is our backyard, and nobody works it harder.
That kind of sustained dominance doesn't happen by accident. It's the result of deeply rooted local knowledge, long-standing community relationships, and a commitment to showing up — for every client, on every transaction, in every market condition.
What Sets Us Apart — And What You Can Expect
When you choose the Julian Realty Team, you're choosing a team that has invested heavily in what actually moves properties in today's market:
Strategic marketing to Julian's feeder communities. The buyers for backcountry properties aren't always browsing locally — they're in Coastal North San Diego, Orange County, and the broader Southern California region dreaming about a different kind of life. We know where they are, and we know how to reach them.
Technology that works. From targeted digital advertising and professional cinematic video to data-driven pricing and AI-powered listing distribution, we embrace every tool that gives our clients an edge. Our listings don't just appear on the MLS — they're actively placed in front of the right buyers.
Pricing and marketing that create momentum. We've always believed that strategic pricing and exceptional marketing don't just attract buyers — they create urgency. And in real estate, momentum is everything.
A Note of Gratitude
None of this happens without the clients who trusted us with some of the most significant financial decisions of their lives. To every seller who handed us the keys, every buyer who leaned on our expertise, and every neighbor who sent a referral our way — thank you. These awards belong to you as much as they belong to us.
We are proud of what we've built here in the Julian and backcountry community, and we are just getting started.
If you're thinking about buying or selling in the 92036 or 92070 zip codes, you deserve a team with a proven track record — and the work ethic to back it up.
