She will sale it and very knowledgeable!

She will sale it and very knowledgeable!

Francine set us up to sale. She knew the market well, helped us stage, and her pictures and videos were amazing. She also handles negotiations with charm, but yet strength behind it. I am completely comfortable with her as our mediator. I was also very thankful for her knowledge and connections in the area as we were doing our first 1031 exchange, and she was very helpful in that area and set us up with all the right people to make it easy. We felt very safe in her hands with all the financial exchanges. Thank you Francine!

Francine is 100% the agent that I would choose again and again!! Her marketing skills are Monumental

Francine not only is very professional, knowledgeable, and has outstanding marketing skills, she is also very personable and easy to work with. Many times, when we were discussing marketing, pricing, and staging, I felt like I was discussing with a good friend that cared and gave the best advice. She was willing to hear my opinion and ultimately stand behind my final decision 100 percent. I never felt coerced or pushed, however she offered very valuable advice and marketing skills that resulted in a quick sale for a price that I was very pleased with. To note, the condo market was a very difficult market and not many condos were selling at the time of my sale. On top of this with me living a couple states away from the property, she was completely responsible for showings and the appearance of the condo. She always answered quickly or returned my phone calls promptly when I called for updates and/or questions, but I fully appreciated that she handled things independently and I could live my busy life without her calling me with issues. I knew she was handling the sale superbly, so I could live my life happily at home without being reminded of any sales stress. She also helped me find and manage all financing questions and closing issues, so I never had to worry about searching for or speaking intensively with a Title Company. She set it all up, and my conversations and transactions with the Title Company was quick and effortless. To note, I did know Francine before I hired her as my real estate agent. I am very happy and completely satisfied with my experience with Francine.

Great a coordinator between multiple buyers

Great a coordinator between multiple buyers

Great a coordinator between multiple buyers. We are in a unique family situation, which required a lot of communication between multiple people. She did a great job at keeping everyone informed and on top of everything, with attention to individual needs. She could the exact house we were looking for, and for a great price. I would definitely hire her again in the future.
