We had 4 offers and we were under contract within the first 2 weeks of listing our home because of Adriennes incredible marketing. Our photos and videos were beautiful and compelling thanks to her expertise in choosing the right vendors with which to partner. Adrienne is always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done for her clients. Trustworthy, patient, professional, knowledgeable, caring, respectful, persistent, and responsive are just a few of the superlatives I would use to describe Adrienne. Recommend without hesitation.

We couldnt have wished for a better professional to work with than Adrienne! She helped us to find an amazing new home (while I was pregnant and working and had very little time to look for a place) and sell our home. She took the time to get to know us personally and quickly figured out what we were looking for (despite us not quite knowing what we wanted!). She has a tremendous amount of patience, commitment and dedication to her clients. She found us the perfect home, was a tremendous negotiator and found a buyer for our old home after only two showings! I highly recommend working with her - shes AWESOME!

Adrienne is an amazing realtor. Having her help you with real estate is like having your best friend help you. She looks out for you and she guides you through every step of the process and always puts your best interest first. She has helped me both buy and sell a home. She has also helped my mother buy and sell a home. When we purchased she guided us with inspectors, helped us with issues and financing. When we sold, she helped us stage our home to get it ready to sell and we had multiple offers immediately. She is an expert and she is very professional. You absolutely should contact her for help with all your real estate needs! You will be very happy that you did.

She has great knowledge of the local areas and real estate in general. We really felt that she had a genuine concern for us finding the right home and not just closing another sale.

My husband and I are first time home buyers and if it wasn't for Adrienne, we would not have found our beautiful home we live in today. We must have seen 50+ homes in just about every town nearby. Adrienne was extremely patient, honest and understanding through the entire process. She continued to reassure us our house was out there we just didn't stumble upon it yet. If there were issues with the homes we "liked" and didn't see, she pointed them out immediately and we were on to the next home. Adrienne did not let us settle on the first home we saw, she made sure we were buying the best home for ourselves. This process was extremely stressful and overwhelming, if we did not have Adrienne as our realtor, I am not sure we would be as happy and settled as we are today! If you are looking for a realtor, Adrienne Francis will stand by you through your home/apartment/condo purchasing journey!

We were fortunate enough to have Adrienne be recommended to us by Zillow for the purchase of our current home. This in turn led to her also being the sales agent of our most recent home. She was able to juggle both sales for us with care and detail . Our home sold in one day with multiple offers over asking. This was largely due to her smart marketing techniques including amazing photographs and a stand out take away brochure. The purchase of our new home had some obstacles which Adrienne helped us navigate to the ultimate goal of obtaining our new home.

Adrienne Francis was professionally courteous in her handling of our home sale. My wife and I had not sold a home in some 43+ years and were woefully unprepared for the requirements of current home sales. She educated us in a kind and understanding way, cheerfully putting up with our "needs". Her decluttering directions, staging advice and negotiation assistance were invaluable. Because of these factors we were able to realize a sale price that was more than satisfactory.

Adrienne was, in a nutshell, fantastic. She brought tremendous local knowledge that helped us decide on the location and finally the home. In addition, she provided a thorough commentary on pros and cons, previous home comparisons, things we'd have to do, etc. She was very empathetic and didn't hesitate to put out her views on what she'd do in my place. Never felt any pressure, only excitement through the whole process. She gave us all the time we needed to become comfortable and confident in our decision-making, and helped every step of the way. When we did decide on the home, she was again our rock through the rest of the process; hand-holding us wherever needed, always available for any questions or concerns, etc. She also was ready with referrals for everything - including attorney, home inspector, etc - all of whom we found just to be like Adrienne - knowledgeable, experienced, extremely patient and out-of-the-way helpful. We now see her as a friend more than our realtor. Looking forward to continue our relationship long after settling into our new home. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Adrienne successfully helped us selling our house in Morristown. We found her to be very experienced and hard-working and she kept our best interest in mind. In our case, we had relocated to a different state and Adrienne had to put in extra efforts in marketing the house and communicate with us remotely. She did it with lots of patience and was very effective. She also did a marvelous job working with the relocation company and made the process smooth and seamless. We would highly recommend Adrienne to anyone!

She always looked out for our best interest and gave her honest opinion, didn't just try and make a sale. She took the time to show us different types of homes, so we could see what we really wanted. She also always triple checked a house before we wasted any time going to look at it (flood zones, next to a bad location, etc). Once we found the house we fell in love right away and wanted to JUMP on it..she talked sense into us (being new home owners) and we were able to save much more money then we ever expected! I would recommend her for any buyer in any situations, she has sold and help buy houses for my mother also and always takes good care of our entire family!!!

Right from the start, Adrienne was very helpful. Before we decided to put the house on the market, Adrienne walked through with us and suggested what items needed attention before it was listed. She also suggested having a pre-sales inspection done so we wouldn't run into any surprises. When it came to listing the property, Adrienne arranged for a stager to help set up the house and for a photographer to take the marketing shots. The brochures she prepared were beautiful, as was the other marketing material. She also guided us well through all the documentation so, when the house was listed, we and the house were well prepared to welcome prospective buyers. Adrienne had obviously done her homework because we had three offers before we even had the open house. Adrienne then facilitated and oversaw the process of working through all the paperwork, the buyer's inspection and resolution of the issues, the Fire inspection and other Township requirements and all the documentation required for closing. All-in-all, Adrienne was a real pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.

Adrienne helped my wife and I buy our dream home. I am writing this testimonial as an honest review. We closed on our home approximately 6 weeks ago; the initial euphoria and the adrenaline have now subsided, and so this review is an honest assessment of my experience being a first time homeowner and working with Adrienne. I highly recommend Adrienne. Especially if you are new to this process, and need someone to give you the right feedback and advice, I recommend her doubly so. She was my agent during the home buying process, and I can tell you that she fought for me and my interests every step of the way, right from looking for a home through to after closing. She made what is inherently a very complicated, lengthy, and opaque process a breeze. What makes Adrienne so good? When I started doing aEURoeresearchaEUR?, which is basically reading articles on the internet about the home buying process in New Jersey, I was left with a whole bunch of questions about mortgages, home inspections, legalities involved, and whatnot. I found Adriennes information on Zillow and reached out to her. If memory serves me right, she spent over 2 hours spread across 3-4 phone calls just answering my questions. Note that I did not aEURoesign-upaEUR? with her. Never did she even mention representing me. She was there to help. There was no pressure of aEURoelets meet and talkaEUR?, or aEURoelet me show you a few houses that I haveaEUR?. And thats what me and my wife love about Adrienne: shes there for you and not merely for your business. Through the whole process, Adrienne was never more than a text message or phone call away. She was always available, and she always gave the advice that was right for me, which included pointing out shortcomings of the property that were not evident to my eyes, even if it meant that I would walk away and she would not get to make the sale. Adrienne is fast, and she is highly motivated to get you your home once you have made a decision. In my case, she determined a competitive price, and made the first offer within 6 hours after we liked the house. 6 hours! She processed the counter offer, advised me on pros and cons of the counter, and then had verbal sign-off from the seller in 8 hours. Me and my wife went from aEURoewe love this house!aEUR? to aEURoethis is going to be our homeaEUR? in a space of 8 hours. She worked over the weekend to get the formal offer out. We had signed acceptance in 24 hours! I also got access to Adriennes network of trusted attorneys, lenders, home inspectors, surveyors, and contractors. She gave me multiple options for each, and she urged me to find my own and compare rates and fees, which I did. I can tell you that Adriennes network gave me the best deals. They have worked with Adrienne for years, and every one of them turned out to be thorough professionals just like Adrienne. They have seemingly infinite patience to answer questions, guide you along the right path, and they will tell you if they dont know the answer instead of giving you a convenient one. Along the way, Adrienne explained how the housing market, especially the buyers market works. Once again, she did not need to do this, but she did because I had questions and doubts. Her wealth of experience and knowledge about the central New Jersey housing market was invaluable to me. She not only negotiated a price that was very competitive, but she got me credits for house repairs that I would need to invest in once I moved in. Throughout the process, Adrienne sent me reminders if something was due from me. Second installment due? I had a reminder text from Adrienne. Home inspection schedule? There was another text. Adriennes involvement and help did not stop after closing. She gave me access to web based tools (for free!) that make setting up utilities, forwarding mail, and finding movers a snap. After I moved in, Adrienne stopped by to make sure that everything went smoothly (I have a 3 year old who makes the process very tough), and that there were no surprises waiting for us. She sent me a list of contractors, plumbers, roofers, and handymen just in case I needed any. At this point, she is more of a friend than my realtor. I cannot thank her enough for helping me and my family through this complicated process, and I would highly recommend you to get in touch with her. Remember, you can ask her all the questions you have without worrying about signing up. She will be there for you.

After doing a lot of research, we selected Adrienne to help us both buy a new home and sell our current townhouse. It has been a great decision for us. Adrienne is so knowledgeable, responsive, organized and is always so on top of everything. When we originally met with Adrienne we had a general idea of what areas we were interested in (mainly the Morristown/Morris Township, Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, Mendham etc areas) but still needed to really narrow it down. She was knowledgeable on all the areas we were looking at and give us some good insight you would never have known unless you really knew the real estate market in those areas (for example, who knew people in Basking Ridge tend to update their homes more frequently than those out in Mendham or that some neighborhoods in Morristown are way more pricy for what you get than some others even in that same town?) She showed us a bunch of homes we requested to see that matched some of our criteria but after hearing everything on our aEURoewish list,aEUR? she was the one who really steered us towards a neighborhood thought could be a good fit for us which was where we ultimately found our new home. As far as the buying process went, there was a good deal of miscommunication between the sellers agent and seller (at no fault of anyone on our buyer side) which could have resulted in us walking away from the house, but Adrienne helped us work through what was at times a difficult buying process to ultimately purchase a great house. She made sure to stay on top of us and all other parties involved with the real estate sale whether it be our attorney, the sellers agent etc to make sure the process went as smoothly as possible and to hopefully avoid any delays with our closing date. For example, she pulled the permits for our new house and made sure to keep following up with the sellers agent to make sure they closed out anything still outstanding before the closing date. She also made sure to nudge our attorney along to make sure everything was all set on that end by the closing date as well. As for the selling side, Adrienne was an invaluable resource to have. She gave us tons of staging, decluttering and cleaning tips (who knew how much of a difference having all your windows professionally cleaned, removing a few couches and a desk etc or having mums around as dA(C)cor could make?)My husband was a little hesitant to make all the changes at first but even he was impressed after we followed all her suggestions and had the house all staged for sale. Our house looked great when it was time to take pictures and sell. It clearly worked as we were fortunate enough to have a full priced offer 20 days after we listed. What was also nice that she did was every time a realtor would show our house, Adrienne would follow up with them to get their thoughts and would forward along any feedback they gave to us. I can also share numerous examples of her going above and beyond what was expected of her as our real estate agent. One small example is related to the home next door to our new home. This home had been in foreclosure for sometime and the landscaping had become quite overgrown and unsightly. Literally within days of her becoming aware of this, she had contacted the homeowners association who had someone come out and mow. She also kept us updated on the foreclosure process of that house and notified us as soon as she saw it had been sold. She also reached out to the head of the homeowners association to find out if they do any neighborhood activities and had him put a flyer in our mailbox to invite us to the Halloween party they had. Even on the day we were closing Adrienne was giving us advise. She had recently repainted her house and even shared with us the names of all the colors she had used to help us decide on paint colors for our new home. As far as her responsiveness goes, we were pretty much always in text or email communication. We could always count on Adrienne to respond in a timely manner. This was even the case when she was on vacation in France while our house was listed. The offer on our house came into her sometime late on Saturday and she sent it along to us 3:30 am our time to make sure we had it in our inboxes first thing on the next morning. She was even texting us days later to make sure the attorney review process was going smoothly (really hope you actually got some time to relax while you were over there on vacation Adrienne!). Oh and if you ever need a contractor etc for anything, Adrienne more than likely knows someone who can help out (whether it be window cleaner, highly rated inspector, real estate attorney etc). Overall we cannot say enough about how much Adrienne helped in our home search and sale. Thanks for all your help, Adrienne! Nicole & Brent

I have purchased and sold a number of homes over the years, and used many different realtors. Adrienne Francis is the only realtor that I felt was actually looking out for my family's best interest. She guided us through the process of purchasing, inspections, permits, and recommended reliable, cost effective, companies and contractors. She was on top of everything, and kept me informed of all of her findings, one of which could have cost her the sale of the house. She was available days, nights, and weekends to answer questions, make phone calls, or even wait for contractors or deliveries. After closing, she continues to reach out to me offering her services to ensure a smooth transition into our new home. Working with Adrienne has been a pleasure and a wonderful experience!

I would highly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She was extremely helpful and knew exactly what we were looking after getting to know us. She also listed and sold our condo in 3 days! We had been through the process with a previous realtor and it wasn't an enjoyable experience. After struggling with the process we found Adrienne and once we spoke to her, she made us extremely comfortable. I knew we would enjoy the experience and be less stressed during the process. Her expertise in the Morris/Essex county area was what really helped. She was able to find the home of our dreams in the perfect neighborhood. Adrienne wound up being not just our realtor, but a part of our family and I know we will thank her for many years to come.

Adrienne Francis was an absolute joy to work with. As a first time seller and homeowner as a married couple my husband and I had many questions and hesitations. Adrienne was patient, sincere and always a phone call away. We appreciated her honesty and guidance as if we were her own family. When selling our condo she gave us useful and honest advice to make the needed renovations to sell in a timely manner. A few de cluttering suggestions and some amazing decorating tips allowed us to sell in three days. Looking at homes for us to purchase was an adventure as we were very particular as to what we were looking for. Adrienne was honest in pointing out the positives and negatives in everything we viewed. We viewed MANY homes until we found the perfect fit for our family. Not only did Adrienne embrace our needs, but she also took into account the needs of our dog.

Adrienne provided assistance on previous transactions such as renting my home when I moved across the country for work, evaluating the market value of my Mother's home and advising on the value of making certain improvements, etc., so it was only natural to ask her to handle the sale of my Mother's home when the time came. She provided invaluable advice, services and recommendations to other related professionals as needed, and of course helped me keep it moving when I was not able to be in New Jersey. For the brief periods of time when I could be in New Jersey, Adrienne lined up all the necessary appointments - from staging, photographs, inspections - all they way to the closing. We received multiple offers within the first few hours of the first open house, and successfully closed early July 2013. Adrienne invests her energy and resources as if she is selling her own home, and she is genuinely interested in my personal well being during the entire and sometimes stressful process of cleaning up and closing out an estate.

I wanted to tell you how grateful I was to Adrienne for her prompt, efficient, professional and warm guidance during the sale of my existing home and the purchase of the new one. As a business owner, the only way I could realize my dream of a larger home, was to move quickly. I did not want to be unduly distracted and jeopardize my client relationships. She moved the process at the pace I needed from day one. She was attentive, creative, energetic and an advocate for me. She showed me how to stage my home. It was by far the most attractive of all 4 for sale in my complex at the time. It was on the market in 2 weeks from our first meeting and within 3 weeks I had two potential buyers bidding and a third who wanted to join in. My sale was the first Allen unit sold in 9 months. That move was a great financial and personal move for me. My final and accepted offer was 8% higher than the first offer I received thanks to her direction and work to make it all happen, I did wind up with substantially more money from the sale than I would have without her help. I work with a number of professionals in my business and her level of service far exceeded all of them! I can't thank her enough. Cathy Hyland,

Adrienne helped us pinpoint the best towns for our family, and ultimately find a home that suited our needs. She gave us needed recommendations for mortgage lenders, inspectors, and attorneys who were all excellent. She negotiated with the seller to get us the best price, and had wonderful follow through long after we were moved into our home. Our home is a new build and thus required us to establish new services. She helped us find and set up service. Adrienne worked tirelessly and gave us her total attention. I give her the highest recommendation!

We had listed our home with two previous realtors with zero success. The house sat on the market for over a year with the last one with no bids and no guidance from the agent. Feeling very defeated, we decided to try one more time and list with Adrienne and we could tell right away that she was going to get it sold. Her expert knowledge of the market and the area allowed us to price the home accurately and her superior staging techniques got people to notice. She was able to pinpoint exactly what buyers were looking for. Adrienne is appropriately aggressive and extremely determined to get the job done the right way. We were also very pleased with her constant communication with us and keeping us updated throughout the process. We are so grateful that we found her when we did. We were able to move on to a larger home to accommodate our growing family. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Adrienne to anyone!!

Adrienne Francis has been a great individual to work with and I fully endorse and recommend her if you are seeking a professional, dedicated, seasoned, efficient and caring realtor in the Somerset Hills, Bernardsville, Basking Ridge, Morristown and Somerset and Morris County areas.I have had the pleasure of working with Adrienne on a number of real estate transactions. She found us a new home and sold our old home. Additionally, she represented me on the acquisition of a commercial property for business purchases. Adrienne is most efficient, thorough, dedicated and mature. I have found that realtor offices are revolving doors with many taking a quick course, getting a license and trying to sell homes. If there is one thing that you should take away from this review is that you must insist upon dealing with someone with experience, who understands the market, negotiations, the area and you the buyer! Do not just accept who the next "salesman" in line at a real estate office is...look for someone with the qualities I've described. You want an experienced, mature realtor. There is a big difference. In my mind, you will never go wrong with Adrienne, who I completely endorse.

Our house sat on the market for 8 months, beginning in October of 2009. We missed opportunity after opportunity to sell during the $8000 tax credit for first time buyers that expired in April of 2010. We needed to sell and negotiated an out with our original realtor.In May 2010 we met with Adrienne. She advised us on staging details and took WONDERFUL pictures of the house. Internet is critical to buyers and I was never happy with the photos taken by the original realtor. Adrienne also agressively priced the house. Two weeks after we listed we had two offers on our home in one weekend! A best offer came back above our original asking price.Lessons learned: no matter who is recommeded, get a realtor who is experienced and who knows your market. Price aggressively in this market if you want your house to be seen. If buyers don't perceive value, they will not view your house and it will not sell!Adrienne is ACES. I recommend her to everyone!

We were buying during what was the peak of the Real Estate market, and high demand and bidding wars made everything so stressfulaEUR"we were ready to give up looking. Adrienne Francis was our single greatest asset during this process--she took the time to really understand our needs, and kept a trained eye on the market. We didn't have to keep watching the new listings because she did it for us. Adrienne would tell us about a home as soon as it hit the market, and made herself available to see it when it was convenient for us. We especially appreciated that she never discouraged us from making an "unrealistic" offer and more importantly, never wasted our time seeing homes that didn't meet our expectations.Adrienne is a sophisticated local expert and a keen negotiator to have by your side, and knows "tricks of the trade" that other agents never seemed to suggest. In our case, it won us the house of our dreams. With Adrienne, you won't be pressured into buying something that isn't what you want just so she "gets the sale", she wants you to be happy and will forge a lifelong relationship with you. I trust her completely, and believe her skills as a real estate agent are simply unmatched in this area. She gets my top recommendation and I thank her immensely for her knowledge, her patience and her diligent work in helping us close the deal on our new home.
