Frank is the very best! Extremely knowledgeable about real estate, neighborhoods and everything else that goes with purchasing a home. Gave great information related to schools, neighborhoods etc which made picking the right place so much easier! Frank was very flexible with showings, always had great suggestions, and was always on top of everything during the entire home purchase... We were extremely lucky to get a chance to work with such a great person!

As a first time home buyer I feel really lucky and thankful to have had Frank by my side during the home purchasing process. Due in part to my relatively young age, the couple previous agents I initially met with all seemed uninterested and treated me as if I was wasting their time. Right from the beginning Frank listened to all my concerns and requests, always treated me with respect, and was a true professional the entire time. Being an Engineer and someone who has worked in home remodeling in the past, I can truly say Frank has extensive knowledge of home construction and remodeling, often pointing out things that I had overlooked. He is very easy to contact, no matter what time or day of the week, and returns phone calls and emails almost instantly. One time he even met with me at his house at 9pm on a weekday since it was the only time I was available. This is not someone who does a 9 to 5 job and calls it quits after that, this is someone who clearly dedicates his time and passion to his job. What initially was supposed to be a quick and simple closing ended up dragging on for about two extra months (due entirely to issues with my lending bank), and that is where I gained the most respect for Frank. He was in constant communication with all parties involved and always kept me up to date with what was going on. Even after having to deal with the bank issue, it was a pleasurable home buying experience and as stress free as possible. I could continue writing pages about the great work Frank does, but in short this is the agent you want working for you. To me he is no longer just my agent, but a true friend, and I look forward to working with him for all my future home buying and selling needs. Thanks for everything Frank, you are the best! Less

We were extremely lucky to find Frank as our real estate agent. After a couple months of searching before we met him, we were close to the idea that it's hard to find an appropriate home for our budget in the area. Frank helped us a lot. He is not only aware about the real estate (areas, houses, prices and so on), but he is also very knowledgeable about all the home related details, like maintenance, plumbing, electricity, heating and air conditioning etc - you name them. He's very open, honest, friendly and kind, always ready to help. I believe, you couldn't imagine a better agent - especially if it's your first home. You'll be very lucky having Frank as your agent.

Frank is an excellent agent that has your best interest in mind. I have dealt with few other agents but Frank is on a different level. Whenever we checked out the house, he always pointed the positives and negatives of the homes. He paid attention to the smalled details of the house and pointed to us somethings that we would have not even looked at. I already have recommended Frank to few other people. Working with Frank, our home searching process was issueless and everything turned out perfect. Thanks so much for all your help Frank Less

You can really trust what he says about real estate and the process of buying a home.

Frank is outstanding. All realtors listening to your requirements for finding properties within your budget, but he provides his construction expertise to potential issues with the building and what it would take to fix it. He has a great eye for catching problems and pros & cons for resolving. He has great interpersonal skills and got info that helped us negotiate price that lead to getting closer to our price. Finally, the latest thing for realtors to do is put that they are "Short Sale Experts". He explained the short sale process and the pitfalls and incentives for all parties to achieve a close within a reasonable time. Of 4 realtors we talked to, he is the only one with an adequate explanation that made sense. If you are frustrated by the short sale process, I recommend that you call Frank. Less

My experience with Frank was nothing by excellent. Frank is extremely knowledgeable about all facets of buying a house. He was very helpful in acknowledging the pros and cons of locations, the history on the homes and understanding what my fiancé and I were looking for. One thing we were very appreciative of is his knowledge of a homes foundation and structure. Frank was not scared to get into crawl spaces and analyze the home from its infrastructure. The one thing we loved about Frank was that he treated you as a friend, not a client. He is not pushy, "salesee", or forceful. He was very accommodating in all aspects. I would strongly recommend Frank to anyone looking for a smooth, unique, and most of all, enjoyable experience in buying a home. Thanks Frank. Less

Frank was an excellent agent from beginning to end. Upon researching houses, his expertise was invaluable. When it was time to visit houses, his experience with several different facets of construction were evident. He was able to explain pros and cons regarding different styles of housing construction and maintenance in an easy to understand language. Without him, we would have purchased a house that to a layperson's eye looked fine but turned out to be structurally unsound. Frank's presence in the local real estate market allowed us to get an unbelievable deal on our house. The seller was unwilling to lower the asking price until Frank negotiated down to our counter offer. And to top it off, he is a very easy person to get along with. He is a very calm, collected person that enjoys what he does. I will not use any other agent in the future. Less

Frank is a phenomenal real estate professional. He truly listens to his clients and ensures he is meeting their needs. Frank's knowledge of the market place is up to date and backed his many real estate transactions. Frank most recently helped my wife and I purchase our first home. He walked us through the process and was honest in his evaluations of home values versus asking prices. This aided us greatly. Additionally Frank has a wealth of knowledge on home maintenance (furnaces, a/c, water heaters, radon, plumbing) etc and can provide a "what to watch out for list" prior to move-in. Frank even assisted us in selling our previous condo which we did as a sale-by-owner yet he gave his professional opinion to us at all times and did not hold back for any selfish reasons. A true professional in all sense of the word. Less

Frank is extremely knowledgeable of the market, easy to talk to, listens well, and is a pleasure to work with. He advised us on how to rehab our house before putting it on the market. Following Frank's advice, we spent $55k on rehabbing costs and sold our house in 16 days for $110k more than other homes on the market that were the same model but hadn't been rehabbed. His estimates of the costs involved and the ultimate sale price were right on.
