He constantly gave me updates on the purchase process. He is very helpful and cares for his clients. I can highly recommend Frans and I already have to potential buyers.~Mike ParkerRealtor with Integrity They say that being at the right place at the right time is a sure way of finding success. From the very first moment that Frans knocked on my door, he was in the right place and it was the right time. Success favours the prepared and Frans was always prepared and he walked the pavement with us, ever so determined to find a solution. And find that solution he did. To find an agent that has strong family ties and understanding of the myriad of challenges and works so hard for you, is never an easy thing. The link with Frans was instantaneous and remains strong. I can strongly recommend Frans as an agent that is interested in your success first and foremost. His follow through and follow up was constant as he works tirelessly with you. Frans is a man of real integrity.~Peter CrawfordThey gave 100%. This lovely gentleman sold our house. From the first meeting we had total confidence in our choice of real estate agent. Frans went above and beyond what any other estate agent has done for us previously. Plus he has amazing support management behind him. As the sale of our house became very stressful for us, Frans guided us through the ordeal with kindness and professionalism.~Pedro & WendySelling my house with Harcourts My experience with Frans was exceptional. I can't recommend him highly enough. I decided to try out out 3 of the best Estate Agents in the Bay of Plenty. Frans stood out right from the start as the kind of person I would trust with the biggest financial transaction of my lifetime. He is very knowledgeable of the local market, this gave me the confidence to sign up with Harcourts. Frans is a very warm and friendly person with enough compassion and empathy to make me feel like he really cared. It was a stressful time but was made so much easier with Frans there. I know I will never sell a house in NZ again but if I did I would ask Frans to do it. Very professional throughout the whole procedure. Constant communication with explanation of what was happening and why.~Keith & GinaA pleasure to buy our property with. Frans has been very accommodating, very approachable, easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.~Chris & AmberWe wish to applaud you for the manner in which our home was marketed. You and your team were the most professional estate agents we have ever dealt with and, we hope, the last! We have had a total of 5 houses, and you have handled the sales of the previous 2 as well. We have to admit that your personal, dedicated, professional service is the best we have ever experienced! Thank you for your "human touch" without losing your professionalism. It is a rare gift? We wish you continued success.~Maureen and Billy BenettaWe just want to thank you for all that you have done for us, Frans. As Buyers, we were pretty apprehensive about purchasing our first house but you allayed all our fears and guided us throughout the entire process. You were kind and caring and totally honest in all your dealings with us. We felt you just understood without us having to draw pictures for you! We love our home but are aware that, as our family grows, we will need bigger, and when that day comes, we will go to nobody else but YOU.~Pam and Geoff BarringtonThank you for making the selling of our home such a stress-free experience. Your professionalism, knowledge, friendliness and understanding was beyond our expectations. You kept to your promise of constant feedback. From the moment we gave you the mandate until transfer of the property, we knew exactly what was happening. You held our hands and guided us throughout the entire process and have become a trusted friend. Please be assured that we will recommend you to all our family and friends. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!~Gayle and John PrestonFrom the first showing of our home, we knew we were in the very best hands. You were positive and enthusiastic and, within an incredible 7 days our property was sold! Each and every appointment was kept punctually and the feedback was reassuring. We were most fortunate that our home was sold so speedily and the cherry on the top is that the buyers are such a nice family. Thank you for your expert service and we will recommend you to anyone wishing to sell their property in the area.~Rory and Judy Thomas
