I first worked with Franchesca when she represented a landlord on a property I rented. She was so easy to work that when it came time for me to buy a place, I knew who I wanted to represent me. She knows the neighborhood and she took the time to help me find the right place for me.
We listed our condo with two other brokers before Franchesca and that is our biggest regret. We wasted market time with realtors that did not have extensive knowledge of downtown. Franchesca was highly motivated and got it done very quickly. She was the salesperson that sold us our condo at Icon 13 years ago and we appreciated her then and appreciate her even more now! We are forever grateful to Franchesca and could not possibly recommend her more enthusiastically!
Franchesca is one of a kind! She is the realtor that will be with you every step of the way, but also fights for you to make sure you're having the best experience and the best deal along the way. After buying my condo through her, I used her again to sell that condo because I trusted her and knew I'd be in good hands. Her knowledge of the market and how to win others over is unmatched. She is firm and proactive so you never have to worry. I couldn't recommend her more!
Franchesca came highly recommended to me when I needed an agent to lease my East Village Condo. Her performance exceeded the glowing recommendation I had received. What separates Franchesca from other agents is her follow-up. I never had to ask her for a status. She always kept me informed. She has an office in the heart of East Village and a big book of contacts. She is an East Village expert, very knowledgeable about pricing. It didn't take her long to find me excellent tenants. Plus, she also found potential buyers for my condo . I am grateful to Franchesca for a job well done.
Franchesca made the process of buying my first condo easy and stress free!! I was not in a rush and never felt pressured to move forward before I was ready. She took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for. And she found exactly what I wanted! She took the time to explain a very complicated process to me in clear terms so that I felt comfortable every step of the way. On top of all of that, she is an extremely warm person and a joy to be around.
Franchesca served as our leasing agent and then selling agent for our East Village San Diego apartment. We hadn't realized she also sold as well and in hindsight, should have gone with her from the beginning. Our condo had been on the market for about 5 months and after switching to Franchesca, she was able to sell it within 30 days - during the COVID-19 pandemic, at that. Her information for East Village is unparalleled. She's savvy, smart, and really understands who the target customer is for each property. That's pretty important to understand. In addition, she understood the strengths and weaknesses of our condo and is able to manage objections based on the "weaknesses". Finally, we trusted her guidance on how to negotiate - I prefer a point of view vs. saying what we want to hear. Franchesca was a wonderful partner through this selling process.
Couldn't say enough good things about Franchesca. She was incredibly helpful and did her due diligence when it came to finding us homes to look at. We were in a crunch but she found as a great home within our budget and found us a great lender. She made sure we were in the right hands at all times and she was right there with us through the whole process. Always willing to answer our questions and treated us like family. I would recommend her to anyone buying a home who is looking for a prefessional hard working woman.
Francesca was incredible through the entire process. Supportive, encouraging, organized and clear about my preferences and needs. It is obvious Francesca is driven by a desire to help people find the right home, not driven by a desire to close a sale. She provided expert advice and was always patient and supportive. I will definitely be referring people to Francesca Meram!
