She treats any buyer with equal respect and attention regardless of their price range. I've had multiple experiences with agents in addition to having been in the business in Los Angeles. If you're an equestrian and looking for horse properties she's the most knowledgable agent in all of Santa Barbara County because she owns horses and has lived there for decades. She listens attentively and isn't judgmental or impatient when a buyer changes his or her mind. By that I mean she isn't pushy or greedy. Jeanne spent a lot of time with me and I didn't end up buying a property in Santa Barbara County. She still treats me well and doesn't hold my non-purchase against me. She's a gem.

An Excellent Experience! I found Jason Francia and The…read moreFrancia Team after doing research online and reading their reviews. I am the executor of an estate in probate, and it included a property in Santa Maria, CA. I live out of state and needed a real estate agent who could help me handle everything from start to finish. Jason gave me a clear game plan and helped coordinate getting the property emptied out, professionally cleaned, and ready to sell. He explained his marketing process and kept everything moving even though I wasn't there to participate. Once the home hit the market, we received multiple offers the first weekend and were in contract just a few days later. The property sold quickly, which was exactly what I was hoping for. I had a great experience working with Jason Francia and The Francia Team and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell a home in Santa Maria.

We recently worked with Jason Francia and his team to sell our home in Santa Maria, California, and…read morewe 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.
