If you’ve ever been captivated by stunning house tours on YouTube, chances are you’ve encountered Presello, the Philippines’ premier real estate platform.
At the heart of Presello is Julia Richards, the dynamic host whose charm and expertise have brought over 200 jaw-dropping homes to virtual viewers.
Julia has helped redefine the way Filipinos engage with real estate, turning virtual house tours into not just a viewing experience but a journey of discovery.
A Passion for Photography and Design
Before she became the face of Presello, Julia Richards was an accomplished events and wedding photographer. However, her love for photography was just one part of her creative journey.
Julia studied Interior Design at the University of Santo Tomas, where she developed a deep appreciation for architecture and fine art.
Her passion for design seamlessly integrated into her work at Presello, allowing her to share insightful observations about the design and construction of each home she features.
Her background enables her to see beyond the surface, giving viewers a deeper understanding of the spaces they’re admiring.
Julia’s transition from photographer to host was an organic one. In 2017, she was invited to host Presello’s first house tour video. What started as a nerve-wracking first shoot quickly turned into a passion project.
“It took a while to finish the shoot because I kept making mistakes,” she laughs, recalling her early days. But those early jitters didn’t stop her from becoming the go-to host for Presello’s growing audience.
Building the Presello Brand
Presello, with its innovative approach to real estate, has become the number one digital agency for upscale properties in the Philippines, with a strong YouTube presence and over 900,000 followers.
Julia’s dedication to showcasing some of the most luxurious and unique homes in the Philippines has played a pivotal role in Presello’s success.
With a diverse content mix, including the Build Your Own series and the Perfect Match series, Julia offers more than just a house tour—she shares the stories behind the properties, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the people and processes that make each home a reality.
Julia’s Dream Home and Future Projects
While Julia has toured countless stunning homes, her dream home would be a blend of her favorite elements from the properties featured on Presello.
“I would love to mix the rustic charm of Maison Soleil with the modern feel of some of the industrial homes we’ve showcased,” she says.
Her passion for architecture and design is matched only by her ambition to expand her reach. Julia’s dream project? An architectural design show that takes her around the world—combining her love for travel, design, and cultural exploration.
Julia Richards has not only elevated the real estate content industry in the Philippines but has become a trusted voice in the world of architecture and home design.
Whether you’re an aspiring homeowner or simply an admirer of beautiful homes, Julia’s engaging house tours and insightful commentary are the perfect guide to discovering your dream space.
