About Julie
Your Southwest Florida Golf Community Expert
Helping you find not just a home, but a lifestyle in the region's finest bundled and traditional private golf communities.
Julie Westerlund Borden
Global Real Estate Advisor
As a longtime Southwest Florida resident with over 15 years of real estate experience, I've built my career on one clear specialty: golf community living. Whether you're drawn to the effortless access of bundled golf or the exclusivity of a traditional private club, I help buyers and sellers navigate both paths with confidence.
Bundled golf communities offer remarkable value: your golf membership is included with your home. There are no large initiation fees, no multi-year waitlists, and no surprises—you close, and you're on the course. Beyond the greens, these communities feature outstanding amenities and a vibrant, social lifestyle with endless activities that rival many traditional private clubs. Traditional private clubs, by contrast, offer a highly tailored membership experience, championship-caliber courses, and an elevated club lifestyle. Both are excellent avenues, and the right choice depends entirely on your personal goals.
Working alongside my brother, Jay Westerlund, and my daughter, Anna Borden, on The Westerlund Team at Premier Sotheby's International Realty, I bring the same commitment to luxury service, market expertise, and data-driven insight that our family is known for. While my dedicated focus remains on golf communities—because I believe true specialization leads to better outcomes—my deep knowledge of the broader market allows me to successfully guide clients to exceptional non-golf properties as well.
Whether you're relocating to Southwest Florida, seeking the perfect second home, or exploring properties beyond the fairways, I'm here to guide you through every step of finding your ideal home.
