My husband and I had the good fortune of being introduced to Francoise Borel by Deborah Zvibleman, an agent at John R. Woods who we worked with when looking at homes in the Naples area.We have shared our most impressive of experiences working with Francoise with everyone who knows us. She is the most competent realtor we have ever had the experience to work with buying and selling property. In addition, she is always responsive to our questions in a most timely manner.Though it may be cliche, Francoise truly proved to us to go above and beyond in every way helping us navigate house hunting in the Sarasota area.Her dedication to us as prospective clients, as well as our respect for her depth of knowledge as a real estate agent and the market here, will have us feel forever grateful to our paths crossing and the contact made originally on our behalf.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Francoise on the purchase of our Meadows Condo. She was a joy to work with, always professional, knowledgeable, available, and enthusiastic. Along the way, she dealt not only with us but our son Joe, who stood in for us in the early stages of our search. Francoise offered valuable insights and suggestions throughout and painlessly guided us through the Florida purchase process. As a result, Joe recently listed his Lakewood Ranch home with Francoise and should the occasion arise, she will be our choice for future real estate activity.
We had an outstanding experience with Francoise assisting us in our purchase of our Sarasota Home. We place Francoise as 'second to none' should you be considering an agent to represent you. We are not local. Francoise acted on our behalf acting like family, locating, vetting and then submitting properties for our consideration. Her honesty, and protection of our interests was so refreshing from other agents we have used in our past. Neat to say, but we found a Realtor we trust..Francoise had no hesitation with dissuading us from properties that she felt did not address our desires. She attended to all inspections, legalities and treated this process as she was purchasing the house herself. We cannot share enough 'Goodness' of her professionalism and dedication to our happiness. If we could give Francoise more Stars in the ratings we would. Do not hesitate to meet Francoise.
