For Sellers
Thinking of Selling? Your needs and objectives will be my top priority and I will sell your property for the highest price attainable within the time frame that fits your plans. I will manage your home sale from the initial consultation, home staging, the marketing and selling process, and then to the closing table. I pride myself on repeat business and referrals and hope you'll come to understand why.
When I market your property: 88% of homebuyers start their search on the internet. www.ColdwellBanker.com is the #1 most visited website by buyers internationally and #2 nationally. According to the National Association of Realtors, 26% of all international homebuyers invest in Florida. www.Realtor.com is the #1 most visited website by buyers nationally. My service with Realtor.com includes 'Showcasing' with additional photos and eye catching banners. Buyers click on 'showcase' listings 116% more often than basic listings. And most importantly, the contact phone number is my cell phone, not the company office phone like most - who knows more about your property and can sell your property better than your listing agent!
'Homes and Loans' Real Estate magazine where I advertise monthly and am guaranteed placement on Page 2 (page 1 is the cover!) These magazines are distributed from Jacksonville to West Palm Beach! The objective is to get maximum exposure of your property to the buying public and other realtors. There is a difference!
As Your Realtor, I Will:

Testimonials:
'Thank you Frankie! It was very nice meeting you and I appreciated all your input and effort in selling our condo.You were there every step of the way!'......RT, Leonminster, MA
'Frankie was invaluable in her help and interfaced for me (I live in California) with the workmen in painting, choosing and installing carpet, replaced appliances and other details to get my mothers condo ready to sell. If she hadn't been so generous with her time, I would have had to make more trips to Florida to attend to these repairs myself. Her advice was sound and I relied upon her excellent judgement in picking colors and coordinating all work. The condo was ready to list in a short time and once listed, we received an excellent offer within a couple of weeks! I can't say enough to praise Frankie. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone!'............TE, Ridgecrest, CA
'Frankie, we can't thank you enough for your efforts to stage our home. You're certainly going to be a success as you extend your vision to more and more homes. After seeing your work, it is indeed a craft. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of home staging.'..............TJ, Daytona Beach, FL
