This review is 13 years overdo, but I guess better late than never. We worked with Nathan when buying our home. He was very friendly and determined to find a house that suited us. I want to say he even gave us a little something once we got our house! Again, its been 13 years. But every year, to this day, since we got our home, we have received a Christmas card from Nathan and the family. I know if we were to one day sell our home and/or buy another one, we will definitely be reaching out to Nathan. read more

I have gone through multiple sales with Frater and can say with confidence that I have never had a better experience, and always suggest them to friends and family who need a realtor. I suggested them to my mother, even, and she had the easiest experience. My personal experiences with both Nathan and Carmen are always positive. They will be honest about a house and pricing, and I have never felt like I was being "worked" for a sale. In both previous sale situations, Frater was respectful, asked a lot of questions, worked with us, and played well with the other realtors, though always fighting for the best deal, and even alerting us when something was off. Their contacts, such as the lenders they work with, are ALSO incredibly kind and helpful, and we felt we were in good hands without red flags as to being fed misleading information or those around us pushing us into a regrettable purchase. It's rarer to find good people still working in this business! I will continue suggesting them and the lenders they work with. read more

Update: I've now bought or sold a total of four times with Carmen and Nathan Frater. They have been fantastic every single time. Great people, honest, and hardworking for their clients - you can't ask for better realtors to have on your side! read more

Carmen treated my mom right and helped us sell her Salinas home in a timely manner and at a great price. She's a hard worker and facilitated the signing and communication needed to sell her home. Carmen also provided insights on what needed to be done to the home and added her special touches for the showing and pictures. We are very happy about the whole experience. Overall, I recommend her as a real estate agent. read more

Frater Real Estate - Real Estate Agents Near Me

We just bought a house in Seaside and I couldn't ask for more from my real estate agent. Nathan went the extra mile to help make it happen. He is conscientious, trustworthy, and diligent. I highly recommend Nathan and Carmen to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. read more

Nathan's style is collaborative. He makes room for the buyer to search and suggest buying prospects. He facilitated my search by providing me VIP access to the MLS online daily listings. When necessary his wife and real estate partner, Carmen, assisted. So with Nathan you get two agents for one (maybe in this case 1+1 = 3 because they are a dynamic duo). But beyond the real estate quest and all its associated technology (and maybe Nathan could use more of that) is the human emotional element. Nathan excels at the emotional element of the buying experience. I had a last minute buyer panic, but I got my well-built Willowood condo because Nathan got me through it with his combination of calm, emotional intelligence, and experience. Finally, how many chances does one get to support an officially designated Disabled Veterans Business Enterprise (DVBE)? Nathan's steadiness and reliabilty are core aspects of who he is as a proud veteran, dad, and a strong man of faith; this grounding brings trust, and a reassuring calm to the process. Get to know Nathan like many from Seaside to King City to Salinas already have over the years. You'll be glad you did because Nathan Frater is straight forward and honest, not flash. To quote the classic R&B song, with Nathan "what you see is what you get." read more

Frater Real Estate helped me sell my house. We listed in July, obtained an offer within 7 days, and closed right when we needed to. Carmen, helped me throughout the whole process. She answered all my questions and got back to me in a timely manner, always professional and straight forward, as not to give me false hopes. The photographer she utilized to take pictures of my house definitely helped show off the house online. Carmen was very accommodating to our needs and requests; she always made sure to let us know ahead of time whenever there were interested buyers coming to look at the house and respected the times we said "no, not today". I definitely recommend Frater Real Estate in your home selling and buying endeavors. They are very knowledgeable of the local real estate and will not falter in leading you astray. read more

I give her a strong 5 stars!!!!! M. Martins read more

Nathan and Carmen assisted us with the sale of our home. From the very beginning, they were professional and yet, personal. They walked with us through every step in the preparation of our home for sale to the sale of the home itself. They were on top of every detail necessary to get the job done. Any time we needed assistance, they were right there ready to help. Their willingness to do what it took to get the sale complete, was what impressed us the most. We highly recommend Frater Real Estate, Inc. to anyone looking for a realtor with experience and excellence. read more

Nathan helped me purchase my 1st home using the VA. He was recommended by Veterans United when I was searching for a VA home loan.

He listened to what I wanted and showed me homes with in my price range and needs without the sale pressure or pushiness. I recommend you give Nathan a chance and have recommended him to friends and family without complaints. read more

I must write this review out of much respect for both Carmen and Nathen in the work hard and ethical values that is obvious were from old school working ethically parents. Carmen and Nathen helped us sale our home, matter of fact Nathen even volunteered to physically help us move and he did...fast-forward..Nathen found a house for us. Using my V.A now we are sitting in our new home...if you want honestly and someone to fight for you and not to fight to get another sale. Give them a call...and if they don't answer your call when you call, is poof that they are working hard representing someone. Leave a message and/or call back...do it now before interest rates goes up.....because rent will go up...why pay rent and help some else to buy a home when you can possibly buy your own? read more

There would not have been another realtor we would have been more pleased with than Carmen Frater. Being solely renters, it was our first foray into the home buying market. We were on a typical first-homeowner budget but our lack of knowledge and purchasing power did not dissuade Carmen from providing personalized and patient service that met all our needs. While I am sure she was busy with her business, she made us feel like we were her lone clients. Her only agenda was to represent and serve us. This was evident in her extensive communication that never felt underwhelming or overbearing, even in the inevitable stress accompanying a purchase of this magnitude. She was never pushy, gave us all the facts, and was there to guide us through dilemmas such as deciding which inspections to request and why. She went the extra mile in gathering information about our future home and did not hesitate to make phone calls when she needed to fill in the pieces of the puzzle that home buying can present. In turn, her professional actions also built our own capacities. We weren't only left with the home of our dreams, but we were also equipped with the information needed to be successful homeowners after we received our keys. Seven months after moving in we sometimes sit at our dining table and reminisce excitedly on the journey to our first home; Carmen will always be a part of that journey. She is a wonderful human being and we are ever grateful to her and Frater Real Estate. We once had the pleasure of meeting Nathan - makes sense that they're married and business partners - he was just as wonderful! We wholeheartedly recommend and give Carmen/Frater Real Estate a perfect 5 stars! You will not regret working with them! :) read more

I would like to specially thank Mr Nathan Frater and his beautiful wife Carmen who were key in the home buying process. Mr Frater commitment to finding my family a home was vital. At all times, he kept us informed and guided us to make an intelligent transaction. He showed expertise from the first day we meet with him and all the way through the end. I couldn't have done it without his expertise, professionalism and attention to detail. read more
