"We were truly astounded with Grace’s professionalism, instincts and breadth of knowledge about the area. Our purchase was far smoother than we had expected and we felt confident the whole way through in large part because of Grace’s support and responsiveness. Without reservation, we’d recommend Grace and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices."

“Grace was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, she was knowledgeable, thorough, detail-oriented, as well as reassuring. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for in a home and didn't waste our time showing properties that were inappropriate for us. Her advice was invaluable throughout the entire home-purchasing process. Our negotiations with the seller of the property we purchased were, at times, very heated, and Grace kept us calm and focused. She guided us methodically through the entire process like a true professional. I hope not to have to buy or sell a home again anytime soon, but if ever had to again, I would, without a doubt, reach out to Grace to represent me. I give Grace my highest recommendation and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent. ”

“Grace went above and beyond with my journey to find my perfect home. Her dedication, professionalism and commitment to the task far exceeded any other realtor I’ve ever worked with. My purchase was small potatoes, compared to her other deals but Grace treated me like family and thoughtfully, patiently helped to guide me in making the right decisions. Knowing that it was a scary time for me, as a single parent with two school age children moving to a new state, and she made it a fun adventure instead of a burden. Grace empowered me and I’m ever so grateful.”

“Grace Franjola understood what I wanted, found it and sealed the deal within a week. Her experience, local knowledge and profound understanding turned what can be a harrowing experience into a total pleasure. She almost makes me want to buy another house!

We’ve bought and sold homes in seven countries and Grace Franjola is by far the best realtor we’ve had the pleasure of working with. Her immediate understanding of what we wanted and her expertise and local knowledge found us the perfect home within weeks. We couldn’t be happier with our new home.”  

“Using the listing agent to represent you as the buyer (dual agency) can create inherent problems for conflict of interest but this was not our experience with Grace. As a mediator, negotiator Grace tactfully guided us to a middle ground of comfort and fairness, without bias while demonstrating great respect for everyone’s needs. She’s extraordinary! “

“Grace was superbly attuned to the objectives of both sellers and buyers. As our dual agent we knew we were in the best hands under her guidance. Her understanding of both parties needs,  keen intuition on navigating a course accordingly, through knowledge of the market were key skills in keeping the negotiations on track in bringing both parties to contract with great satisfaction for all.”

I have bought and sold quite a few properties in my life and I can unequivocally say that NO realtor/broker has ever worked as tirelessly to achieve a sale. There were many parts to the transaction (and many people) (a few that are sane) in a dual agency transaction for the sale of the business (a restaurant)  and the real estate that Grace handled adeptly, tenaciously, keeping her eye on the ball to achieve consensus and close the deal. A superb effort that most brokers would not exert and probably couldn’t. An exemplary performance under difficult circumstances. She’s super human...and a super human taboot.”

“Grace is such a dedicated realtor! From the first mention that we were ready to sell my Dad’s estate she jumped into action, recommending what we should do to prepare the property for sale and assisting with the work! She was sensitive to the fact that we grew up in the house and were emotionally attached. She honored that pride in ownership when representing the property, making special note that it was a Sears and Roebuck house, featuring it as an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of architectural history...albeit a dated one! It was very important to me and my sisters that a family could carry on the stewardship and bring the property back to life. I am happy to say that a family with two children bought it and have already begun to breath beauty and life into it. They are excited to be there and have their children attend the Region 12 district...just as we did! Grace has greatly enhanced the quality of all of our lives with her care and expertise.” 

“Grace was amazing during a very tough time for our family after our parent’s death. Selling our beloved home of many generations was not easy. She had to handle many difficult aspects of the sale (along with our volatile emotions. I felt as if she was channeling our mother with her loving, gentle but firm guidance and undying support. She is absolutely the BEST realtor and now an adopted sister in our family."
