Brandon grew up in the area, and knows the ins and outs of the neighborhoods, their cultures, and takes the time to understand what you and your family need. He is an excellent communicator, and overall, a good person that is part of your team. He knows the business, what leeway there is to help negotiate offers, and what courses of action are available to you in any given situation. We hired Brandon because as buyers previously, we enjoyed working with him when he was the seller's agent. He's our realtor for life, now!

Brandon closed the sale of our condo in Santa Maria when things started to go outside of the plan. He remained calm and explained the process of closing escrow and removing contingencies with a lot of patience. He also has a good sense of humor to keep the transaction going. It was great to have a professional in my corner. I thought of other agents or maybe even selling by owner, however, I know I made a good choice with Brandon. He understands the psychology of both the buyer and seller's perspective on one of the most expensive purchases most people make. He created a win win for all involved. Thanks

We recently worked with Jason Francia and his team to sell our home in Santa Maria, California, and we still cannot believe how quickly everything happened. We had already purchased another home that fit our needs better, especially being single story, so we needed to get our current home sold fast. Jason helped us not only purchase our new home, but also created a strong game plan to get our existing property sold quickly and for top dollar. From the beginning, we trusted Jason’s pricing strategy, marketing plan, and experience. His marketing created immediate attention around the home and brought in multiple buyers right away. We officially went on the market on a Friday, received multiple offers almost immediately, negotiated and countered several offers, and accepted an offer by Wednesday. By Friday morning, we were fully sold and in escrow. The entire process from listing to getting the home sold happened in less than three days. To this day, we have never heard of a home selling that quickly from offer accepted to getting it closed. Jason told us that in all his years in real estate, he had never seen a home move that fast either. Him and his team truly worked miracles to make it happen, and we are beyond grateful for their communication, hard work, and dedication throughout the process. If you are looking to sell a home in Santa Maria, Orcutt, Nipomo, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, or anywhere on the Central Coast, we highly recommend Jason Francia and his team. They absolutely know how to market homes and get incredible results.

We interviewed several real estate agents before deciding to work with Jason Francia and his team to sell our home in Orcutt, California. We knew our home was worth more than what other agents were telling us, but several agents suggested listing nearly $100,000 lower than where Jason believed we could sell it. There had been a recent home sale nearby that sold for much less, but Jason took the time to explain why that property was not a true comparison and showed us a strong marketing and pricing strategy that made sense. After meeting with Jason and his team, we felt confident moving forward. We knew we were asking top dollar for our home, but Jason’s marketing, negotiation skills, and work ethic gave us confidence that he could get it done. Within the first week on the market, we received a full price offer with the terms we wanted. We are so thankful we chose Jason Francia and his team. If you are looking to sell a home in Orcutt, Santa Maria, Nipomo, Vandenberg Village, Lompoc, San Luis Obispo, or anywhere on the Central Coast, we highly recommend them. Their knowledge of the local market, communication, and ability to deliver results truly set them apart.

I’ve known Jason Francia personally for many years and trusted him completely when it came time to sell my mom’s home in Santa Maria. This wasn’t a simple sale. We had to coordinate the sale of two properties in order to purchase another, and it came with a lot of moving parts. Jason and his team handled everything with professionalism and care. He got us substantially over asking price, and we were able to sell the home as is, which was a huge relief. What made this even more meaningful was working with someone I’ve known since he was the youth pastor at Santa Maria Foursquare Church. I’m so glad we worked with Jason. He made a complicated process feel manageable and gave us full confidence every step of the way.

Working with Erin and Compass was absolutely incredible! Erin helped us to make our dreams come true in buying our first home with an off market deal in Santa Barbara. She is a pleasure to work with! So kind, knowledgeable and very quick to respond to anything we needed! I found an amazing realtor, but also gained a friend!

Jeff Oien is not only the best realtor we could have found to help sell my mother’s home—he is also an extraordinary person. Jeff became a true gift in our lives, both professionally and personally. He sold my 90-year-old mother’s home in about a month. While we joked that it might have been partly divine intervention, I know it was truly Jeff. His interpersonal skills, deep knowledge of San Vicente Mobile Home Park, and extensive real estate experience made this sale possible. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he did for my mother, myself, and our family. We are forever grateful to Jeff.
