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.

Living overseas in Germany, it was important for me to find someone I could trust to handle the…read moresale of my home in Santa Maria while I was out of the country. The funny thing is, Jason Francia was actually the listing agent when I originally bought the home years ago. I remembered seeing how he worked during that transaction, and over the years I had also heard great things about Jason and the Francia Team from several friends. When it came time to sell, I reached out to Jason to hear his thoughts and his plan. My property manager had also recommended another real estate agent, but after speaking with both, there was a noticeable difference in the level of knowledge Jason had about the Santa Maria real estate market and the surrounding area. That local experience really made Jason and his team stand out. Even with me being stationed in Germany, Jason took the time to explain everything, including the pricing strategy, marketing plan, and what he believed we needed to do to get the home sold. Communication was great throughout the entire process, which made it much easier handling everything from overseas. We put the home on the market and received offers within the first week. Jason helped negotiate the price and terms we were looking for, and we were able to successfully get the home closed. I'm extremely happy with how everything worked out and would absolutely recommend Jason Francia and the Francia Team to anyone looking to sell a home in Santa Maria, California, especially if you need someone you can trust to handle everything when you are out of the area.

Not only that, they are not responding to my numerous emails and phone calls. If I ran my business in this fashion, I would quickly be out of business. This company has not returned my deposit to this date, which was supposed to happen 21 days after moving out. And, I now have been informed they are holding back over $1,000 of my rental deposit unjustly. To explain, I rented a property that was in disrepair. I did not realize the extent of the disrepair since I was not allowed to view the property until our move-in date. Searchlight did not take over the management of the house until a month after my move-in date and had no clue of the overall condition of the house and yard either, since apparently the previous property mgt company did not convey that information to them. We lived there for 2 years and moved out a month ago. We left the house in much better shape than it was when we moved in, yet we are being charged for general house cleaning and carpet cleaning as well as items (not ours) being left behind. When I moved in, the previous tenant who moved out the same day as I moved in, left behind junk inside and outside of the house. There were holes in the walls and they desperately needed painting. The family room blinds were broken and looked awful. The sprinkler system in the front and back yard did not work. The only thing that did get fixed was the hole in the wall after I complained numerous times. Oh, and they finally got a gardener out to fix the irrigation system only a few months ago. The previous tenant had 3 German Shepherds who were indoor dogs according to the neighbors. The carpets were dirty with tons of dog hairs. The baseboards even had dog hairs on them. The rest of the house wasn't much better. I need this money. This is an outrage and needs to be rectified immediately. They have 21 days to return the deposit and that time has passed a week ago. Everything is being bungled. Don't use this company!!

We never had any issues during our tenancy that we had to reach out for but on occasion Luis would message in to see if all was well. We got rental reminders monthly via email and paid rent online which was a quick and easy process.

There were some minor miscommunications with the move out inspections and such but overall the process went smoothly.

But if someone is honest, knowledgeable and actively working for our interests, he will be loyal, supportive and committed, which he was with Tni, much to my great happiness. Anyway, to get to the point, Tni's law background, amazing sensitivity, intelligence, flexibility and professionalism is very hard to top. She is not only a top realtor, she is 100% committed to her field and is a strong advocate for home ownership. She has gone above and beyond for hopeful homeowners from many backgrounds and goals. I was very impressed with her open-mindedness and thoughtfulness and compassion for not just her clients, but for the entire community. She doesn't just sell houses, she works for increased home ownership for all people. For us, she helped us with a transaction when we moved into the area and also helped us with a second transaction when the time came that we had to move out of the area. She even helped us find a realtor in a new area that she was unfamiliar with. She did our best for us at all times, and her best is the best there is. She took care of difficult issues and made our journey as smooth as possible. Tni deserves the very highest recommendation and will make your life better for working with her.
