Francine is amazingly patient and attentive to details. She is knowledgeable and protective of clients- helping anticipate any red flags or obstacles. I felt that she really listened to what we were looking for and did not try to rush us into a decision. She offered great insight as we searched, but stayed neutral with her input/ opinions, which helped us weigh pros and cons of each house we viewed. I am so thankful for her assistance as we purchased our new home.

We absolutely loved working with Francine, she made the home buying experience as smooth as possible. Francine is great with the details, patient and very well prepared. I can’t recommend Francine enough if you are looking to buy or sell a home.

I highly recommend Francine if you are in search for a realtor who will go above and beyond to help you find your dream home! When we moved to the area, we came from Indiana and didn't know where to begin to look for a new home. We met Francine at an open house and were immediately impressed. She was very knowledgeable, personable, truthful and didn't pressure us to make any decisions. Anytime we wanted to look at a home, she would respond immediately and have the showing set up right away. We looked at several homes together but didn't have any luck finding a home to accommodate our big family. Then we started looking for options to build a home. Together, we found the perfect lot and builder to build our home. She was there every step of the way to advocate for us as the building process moved forward. She helped us anytime we had questions or concerns during the build. The closing went smoothly and she gave us a super helpful binder full of information we needed to have for our home. I can't say enough positive things about Francine! She is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with!

Francine is a diamond in the rough!! She persevered and overcame every obstacle to help our family find the perfect home during an imperfect time of this crazy market. Our journey started back in 2021 while my husband and I were pregnant with our first child and as many obstacles presented themselves, Francine continued on the journey with us to find the perfect home. Her knowledge and expertise helped guide us on our home buying decisions. She was an advocate for us during the process and continues to be a phone call away when needed. We highly recommend Francine Carstensen for all of your Real-estate needs in Baldwin County.

The most courteous and professional realtor I have ever done business with. Always answered my phone calls. If I left a message my call was returned quickly. Any questions I had were answered, if Francine wasn't sure she got the information quickly. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly professional and helpful realtor. Miller Rehm

Vest and honest realitor in town. We started to feel she was family. I would use her again in a heart beat.

Great communication, offered great insight and suggestions while making the home purchase experience as stress free as possible. Francine is the BEST!!!! Thank you!

Francine is an extremely personable and professional real estate agent. We worked with her recently to sell our home and she went over and above in helping us get the house in selling condition. I would recommend her to anyone trying to sell their property. She knows what people want and gets the job done. Three other homes in our development hit the market within a few months of ours and ours, so far, has been the only one purchased. Francine definitely knows what she is doing. Thanks Francine!

This realtor is 5 stars. She hustled from house to house with us ( we are kind of demanding )until we found the right neighborhood; she even kept us out of neighborhoods we kept vearing towards because she knew we would be unhappy with them later. That’s a realtor who knows what the buyers want and cares about how we are going to feel after we buy it. We are using her again to sell the house we are moving from because we know she’ll work to get what we need from that one too.

Bought our first new build home August of 2023 with the help of Francine Carstensen. She was by far the sweetest, most informative, and compassionate realtor that we had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend her for your next home buying experience .
