I'd always heard that God sends angels to help people, but meeting Frances confirmed it. We were able to fulfill our first home ownership dream after 12 years thanks to her hard work, knowledge, and experience with real estate expectations and pricing in the Peninsula area. With her, pretty quickly our second offer on a very tight budget allowed us to realize our California dream of a single home in a desirable neighborhood. Frances is extremely senior and has decades of experience. First and foremost, Frances is familiar with the various neighborhoods and streets in the Peninsula San Mateo area, and she is extremely helpful in determining realistic and fair home prices.

I'd always heard that God sends angels to help people, but meeting Frances confirmed it. We were able to fulfill our first home ownership dream after 12 years thanks to her hard work, knowledge, and experience with real estate expectations and pricing in the Peninsula area. With her, pretty quickly our second offer on a very tight budget allowed us to realize our California dream of a single home in a desirable neighborhood. Frances is extremely senior and has decades of experience. First and foremost, Frances is familiar with the various neighborhoods and streets in the Peninsula San Mateo area, and she is extremely helpful in determining realistic and fair home prices. This first step is extremely helpful in selecting the right neighborhood and home type. Second, at the offer stage Frances makes a concerted effort to explain disclosure and post-purchase repair costs, which are fairly common in Peninsula area aged homes. This provides the true cost of ownership and bakes those costs into the offer. Her advice on getting verified approval vs. just pre-approval was extremely helpful in making a strong offer and reducing loan approver/buyer anxiety ahead of time, as well as putting together a reliable offer and home purchase. She puts in a lot of personal effort and care to make sure that everything in the house is fixed and disclosed properly to the seller's agent. Because of her extensive market knowledge, we were able to quickly identify the ideal neighborhood and pricing. I lived in this neighborhood for three years and learned a lot about things I had never understood. She handles the entire home-buying process like a family member rather than a transaction. Thank you, and I highly recommend her to anyone in my network.
I’ve enjoyed working closely with Frances; she is fantastic!!. During the sale of my last condo in San Francisco, I was impressed with her professionalism, expertise, and dedication, and she truly made me feel like I was her only client. She is highly responsive, and I received prompt updates and answers to all my questions. My property sold quickly for the price I wanted, which is a fantastic achievement considering the current tough condo market due to the high-interest rates and the current economic situation in San Francisco. She is a true gem!
Frances had been very attentive to us throughout the whole buying process. She really listened to what we wanted and needed and she made sure she matched those to the properties she invited us to see. She was very honest and would tell us the truth as it is. That's why we learned to trust her and really depended on her advice in helping us make the right decision in purchasing our first property. Her services did not end at the conclusion of the sale. She still helped us find a good mover and shared with us her list of available services when we were looking for a handyman. Then, she would even follow up with us to know if we received good service from her recommendations. And because she cares, she made sure we have a complete copy of all the purchase papers works. We will definitely recommend Frances to family and friends. Frances is an agent worth keeping.
Frances did a super job for us during a difficult buying period. We had to buy in the Summer of 2006 at the height of the housing prices on the peninsula. All properties were in "auction" mode and sellers were twisting buyers at will. It was not fun. We evaluated many properties and found a narrow band of homes that met our criteria and were affordable, with a stretch. Frances was very patient and guided us well through the maze. The inventory was tight as always on the peninsula. We rejected many. Finally, make an offer on our current home which was and is perfect. But, not easy. We were in a bidding war that we were not comfortable with and were nervous about bidding above our high-end limits. The seller was not personable and difficult to deal with. But, with Frances calming, we hung in and succeeded. Would recommend Frances Boscacci to anyone.
