Rob & Gina say:

“Francesca and Bob are a dynamic duo who are not only a joy to work with, but also a huge asset to have in your corner as you embark on the perilous home buying journey (and I'm sure equally as helpful in the home selling process :) My fiancé and I recently bought our first home in the Peninsula, and I'm not sure it would've happened if it weren't for the always-on support of Francesca and Bob. Being new to the entire process, we had a LOT of dumb questions, but Francesca and Bob answered all of them promptly and made things easy to understand. When it came to the actual process of finding homes and touring, Bob and Francesca were seasoned vets. Fran is a pro at getting you in the door first, and she'll go to bat for you and call listing agents without hesitation. Bob brings decades of experience buying and building in the area, and provided invaluable perspective when it came to looking at the structure and durability of the houses -- not just the pretty lipstick sellers put on before listing. He is also incredibly well connected and can get you in touch with some of the best contractors and tradesmen in the area. Together they helped us negotiate through multiple offers, which culminated in us landing the house of our dreams at asking price (pretty much unheard of in this market). We can't say enough good things about Bob and Francesca. Whether it was their willingness to hop on calls late in the evening after work, or hustling all weekend long to find us the perfect home, they will work harder than anyone to get you want you've always dreamed of. I certainly don't think it will be the last time we work with them, and I'd recommend their services to anyone who asked.”
