Sheila Gallagher and Julie Tubman


Gallagher Tubman is a division of Kerryhill Realty, which is a boutique firm providing real estate services for residential, commercial and investment clients. Sheila Gallagher and Julie Tubman, who share the same principles and psychographic profile, serve clients directly without delegating responsibilities. It reserves its bandwidth for a select group of clients in order to deliver a tailored service in real estate and project management. From its founding in 2004, Kerryhill has placed the needs of clients above all else. It listens. It collaborates. It applies its depth of experience to achieve success for its clients and the business.


Gallagher Tubman focuses its attention primarily on women 50+ located in the west end and in communities just west of Ottawa. Families in this demographic are often experiencing transition. Transitions can include relocation, a separation or divorce, downsizing or the death of a spouse. Transition also revolves around children leaving the nest or returning or even the need for fundamental change. Part of this change involves relocating.

Being in transition, clients typically experience anxiety. Buying or selling a home is a big deal for clients. The uncertainties create a vulnerability that Gallagher Tubman is prepared for and can help alleviate. Together, Sheila Gallagher and Julie Tubman create a safe and trusting business environment where clients can make well-reasoned decisions. They are trained to assist with the emotional challenges of transition and to provide good counsel, empathy and understanding.

Experience personified! That’s what Gallagher Tubman is. Sheila, a multi-dimensional real estate executive and Julie, the former CEO of Tubman Funeral Homes and Chairman of the Boards of both CHEO and Roger’s House, are a truly unique duo. The fact is that Julie decided to join the industry because she was so impressed with Sheila's approach and integrity when selling her home. Now that's an endorsement...and a commitment.

Other realtors see “a house that requires staging” and pitch pricing that wins business. The Sheila-Julie partnership sees a home and how to best shape its essence and appeal — performing the steps required to ready the home for a short-period sale. “We are in the selling and working in our client’s best interests business”, not the “listing/faces on lawn signs” business”. This attitude defines their integrity.

In addition to their real estate credentials, they bring clients an eclectic mix of educational backgrounds, business leadership, community involvements, volunteerism and life experience. And clients get both...Sheila and Julie...backing each other up. Not one or the other. Depending upon the situation, they can provide counsel in various fields. Sheila has certification in Feng Shui, shamanism and even astrology for those accustomed to these practices. Julie has many years of training and experience counselling individuals and families through transition and life changes.

No other real estate firm provides this authentic, diverse offering. Sheila and Julie are women clients can trust with their transition and real estate assets. Clients can feel safe saying they don't know what they are doing in real estate transactions. They can feel confident that they are getting advice untainted by conflict of interest. Because Sheila and Julie will do the right thing. They will never represent both the buyer and the seller for the sale of the same property. They can only have the interests of one client at heart. And they like to sleep nights.
