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.

We recently worked with Jason Francia and his team to sell our home in Santa Maria, California, and…read morewe still cannot believe how quickly everything happened. We had already purchased another home that fit our needs better, especially being single story, so we needed to get our current home sold fast. Jason helped us not only purchase our new home, but also created a strong game plan to get our existing property sold quickly and for top dollar. From the beginning, we trusted Jason's pricing strategy, marketing plan, and experience. His marketing created immediate attention around the home and brought in multiple buyers right away. We officially went on the market on a Friday, received multiple offers almost immediately, negotiated and countered several offers, and accepted an offer by Wednesday. By Friday morning, we were fully sold and in escrow. The entire process from listing to getting the home sold happened in less than three days. To this day, we have never heard of a home selling that quickly from offer accepted to getting it closed. Jason told us that in all his years in real estate, he had never seen a home move that fast either. Him and his team truly worked miracles to make it happen, and we are beyond grateful for their communication, hard work, and dedication throughout the process. If you are looking to sell a home in Santa Maria, Orcutt, Nipomo, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, or anywhere on the Central Coast, we highly recommend Jason Francia and his team. They absolutely know how to market homes and get incredible results.

Tni is truly the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. To be perfectly honest, my…read morehusband has a sensitive built in radar when it comes to working with real estate agents and is rarely satisfied with the level of professionalism and knowledge that we have encountered. 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.

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!!

(I cringe to think of where we may have landed without them!) They helped pick us up and show us around when we didn't have a car. When it came to negotiations, they offered sound advice leading us to something of value that we could afford. We would highly recommend their team, especially Caroline who was our primary agent. However, one great aspect is that they work together, so all of them (+Sarah, Karina, and Summer) helped us out with various aspects from offers to showings. Relocating to a different region can be challenging, but thanks to their local knowledge and patience, they helped put us at ease. We are so grateful--thank you Weber Team!

Two words describes Wendy's professional service: Experience Counts…read more I felt something like Red Riding hood facing the proverbial Wolf in a market I had no tangible experience in; other than hearsay from family and friends. But when you start your search for an agent, who will be just the "just right" agent and what do you base your selection on? The one with a good looking website? The fastest response time? Perhaps the agent with a great smile and firm handshake? Which professional will guide you through the treacherous waters of an ever changing market? I suggest that Experience Counts and that is just what you will get with Wendy. Santa Maria, and specifically the Orcutt area, is her home court and has been for years. She does a volume of transactions that allows her to know both ends of the market, the buyers and the inventory available and recently sold. Like a matchmaker, she can align desires, goals with the reality of the marketplace. When you find yourself second guessing yourself, she can bring you in from the ledge. She listens, delivers advice with care and helps throughout the process. I have a number of real estate transactions as a baseline to measure performance and with great confidence, Wendy is truly a caring professional that will deliver results, not just promises.
