Francesca Rose Team – Berkshire Hathaway Koenig Rubloff

This is a long overdue review — Francesca and Jen are a world class team when it comes to Chicago real estate. They worked diligently with my wife and I as we bought our first home/​condo. At the time, we were challenged by picking the condo while living out of state, and they did a phenomenal job on our behalf. They were a joy to work with, and we fully intend to work with them again when that time comes! Thank you Francesca and Jen for getting us into the condo we dreamed of!

Francesca is the main realtor in the Helmut Jahn building at 600 N Fairbanks. I would see her in the building everyday with clients, and that’s how we became friends. She is extremely knowledgable with Chicagoland and really lives up to the name of Top Producer. One of my neighbor’s could not sell their condo, until they dropped their realtor and used Francesca. She is an expert at marketing and staging and sold the place within weeks. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants to make a fast sale or is in search of their dream home. She is a pleasure to work with and more importantly an exceptional closer. Amongst the hundreds of realtor to choose from, go with Francesca Rose.

We cannot say enough about Francesca and her team! We bought our first home with her and her teammate Jen in June. We saw many homes before we decided on purchasing the one we bought and Francesca and her team were extremely thorough in advising us on all aspects of what place to purchase. Being first time homebuyers, we felt the team was incredibly patient with us and always available to answer our questions, large or small. We will always work with Francesca and her team for all of our real estate needs in the future and will always recommend her to our friends and family. Thank you!!!

Francesca and I have been working together for two years now. It is rare to see an agent compliment another, but when you have the opportunity to work with someone who stands out, for the right reasons, it makes every transaction that much easier. Her communication levels are great and I never have to worry about things like integrity or service level because they have always been there and always will be. Every time I see Francesca’s name on a listing, I know we are one step closer to making a deal.

Francesca Rose is the best realtor that my wife and I have worked with. she is very knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate/​neighborhoods, extremely detailed in her analytics and efficient in her response. She educated my wife and I on our search for a ²⁄₃ BR condo over the summer of 2012 and worked extremely well with the sellers’ agents as we evaluated a few different properties over the 3 month period. She negotiated very professionally in the eventual purchase of our condo in a short sale situation. to put the challenge in perspective, we closed the transaction during our physical relocation to Asia. Francesca managed all the different stakeholders in the transaction (our attorney, our lender, seller’s agent and the seller himself) very effectively and efficiently while shielding us from these daily tribulations. She communicated very frequently (given the 14 hour time zone difference) and kept us completely engaged in a very stress free manner. Above all, she operates with the highest integrity (she kept our ultimate objective in mind and even counseled us against several properties during the search in this context). We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Francesca Rose as THE realtor for your search. we enjoyed the experience so much that we will be working with her once again later this year to expand our real estate holding portfolio in Chicago.

Francesca Rose is one of the hardest working people I know. She is the consummate professional in every way possible. My husband and I purchased 2 condos in our downtown building pre-​construction about 5 years ago. We bought a 1 bedroom as an investment and a 3 bedroom for our first City home. Francesca was the developers’ exclusive agent and handled our transactions with sensitivity and respect for our time, as well as for the emotional impact we were experiencing moving from the suburbs to the City. The process was seamless. Two years later Francesca assisted us in selling our investment unit for a very satisfactory price during the worst downturn in the real estate market. She is currently working with us in the sale of our 3 bedroom unit. She is so personally involved in showing our unit to agents and prospective buyers, communicating with us, marketing our condo, etc. that I don’t know how she finds the time to do anything else! Francesca treats us like her only sellers and I know for a fact that she’s the listing agent for most of the units in our building. She’s very knowledgable about our building but is surprisingly well informed about the real estate in the area. She is the perfect real estate agent — hard-​working, intelligent and drama free. My husband and I recommend Francesca without hesitation for anyone who is planning to buy, sell or re-​locate to the Chicago area.

Francesca is an awesome real estate agent who will work very hard to deliver results. I’ve worked with her three times in renting my Chicago luxury condo. She is diligent, consistently staying on top of things and driving to results. She is extremely responsive, always giving detailed information and answering questions to help guide you in decisions. She is honest and forthright, gaining your trust immediately. I have so much confidence in Francesca and that’s why I keep coming back to work with her. She is the ulimate professional and a pleasure to work with.

Francesca Rose has been my agent in Chicago for 2 years. She is extremely professional and knowledgable and I feel fortunate to have found her. Since I live in Nashville, I needed someone I could really depend on and she has been fantastic.

Let me first say that I can be a bit skeptical regarding real estate agents, I think some of them are people who were bored during the real estate boom and all they needed to do was to set appointments and drive people around to make money. Francesca is the polar opposite of this portrayal, she is an absolute professional and is completely dedicated to her profession and clients.
From day 1 Francesca was absolutely amazing. She had a reputation in my building as being one of the best, so when I was ready to sell I gave her a chance. She walked in and as soon as we started to talk, I knew why she was regarded as the best. She knew everything about the current market in the neighborhood, she even knew what I paid for the place! She had a complete analysis worked up for me, it outlined the recent comparable sales as well as the units on the market that would be my competition. It also had an explanation of all the fees and estimated closing costs so I had a full understanding of what a sales price would mean against what I originally paid for the unit. She explained everything in detail but in the end insisted that all pricing decisions were mine to make, after all it was my unit and my money.
Throughout the entire process, Francesca was amazing. She was diligent about seeking feedback from prospective buyers, and always made time to talk to me about the market conditions. It took a little longer than I was originally hoping for, but in the end she was able to get an offer that worked for me.
I think one of the most amazing aspects of this is that I was selling a one bedroom condo. I know Francesca sells everything from 1 bedrooms to multi-​million dollar units, and although her commission for selling my unit would be much less, she always treated me like I was her number one client. I believe that is because that’s how she treats everyone.
I would recommend Francesca to anyone, and she is my Chicago real estate agent forever.
