I know they have a choice when they decide on who is helping them with their house. I am honored every time I gain that trust. I am a problem solver, straight-talker, with an eye for what sells, and what the market wants. Sugar-coating is not in my DNA, the German native says. I will always give you honest guidance & advice. If that is what you are looking for, I am your Realtor.
Franziska is amazing to work with. She has guided us through the process of purchasing and selling two properties. We encountered numerous challenges this time and she was there every step of the way. She went above and beyond to keep us informed, on track, and ultimately successful!
We love Franziska! If we wish to buy/sell another house in the future at Augusta we will definitely go to her in a second. We relocated from California and spent ~a year watching the housing market, paid 3 visits before we bought our house. Franziska was so patient and extremely informative from the beginning to the end. At my first visit, she gathered our general interest of housing style, price range, our household information, our living style including everyone's specific needs, our work style, etc. everything that helps to find a house that fits our needs, and organized a list of areas and houses to see before I even arrive. She spent > 5h driving me around and thoroughly introduced all these areas including neighborhoods, school districts, housing styles, traffic, etc. While we were touring, she also listened to me about my feeling on these areas and houses, my preference, my family members's likes. On our second visit, I took my entire family including parents and our young boy to the house hunting tour. Based on my first visit Franziska was able to narrow down the list and suggested only the houses that potentially meets our interest, as well as adding our picked houses into the list. She was so considerate. She took care of everyone and listened to each one of us for our preferences, which was not easy to do with such a big family group. With her help we were able to lock down a few areas that we liked. On the 3rd visit, we already had our picked houses before arrival. Franziska was always super responsive. She communicate a lot with us and acted fast in booking house tours as soon as we have our eyes on them. She also send us houses that fits our interest as soon as they came onto market. She was never impatient on my requests, even sometimes I have last minute requests and wish to see the same property multiple times. At the final steps of purchasing, she really thinks for us and speak of our best benefits and had given us great advices. We highly recommend her to everyone.
Working with Franziska was a breeze in our stressful relocation house hunting journey. She understands our needs, responds and acts quickly in a hot market. She's very professional as a realtor, gentle and thoughtful as a friend, punctual and reliable as an individual. While we're taken good care of, she's never pushy. We highly recommend Franziska and will find her again if we are going to buy or sell a home here.
