"Frances far exceeded our expectations in selling our home. This was our first time selling, and we had no idea what to expect. Frances held our hand through every step of the process, was always in contact, and ensured the sale progressed in a smooth and timely fashion. She was candid and consistently advocated for us, which was so important for us as first time home sellers.
Frances truly became a friend during the process, which says so much. My husband and I have joked that we are actually (somewhat) sad to be done with the sales process, because we miss talking to her! We would recommend Frances to everyone!"
★★★★★
"My husband and I bought and sold two homes with Frances in the town of Ridgewood. Please trust when I write there is NO one else you want helping you buy a home. Frances knows this market better than anyone and can negotiate a deal with her eyes closed. There is a reason she is a top selling agent in the state of New Jersey. Perhaps most importantly, she is just great to be around due to her friendly and warm disposition. Don't bother with anyone else!"
★★★★★
"Frances is the ultimate professional: extremely knowledgable, hard-working and a great collaborator. She helped us sell our house in Glen Rock (and buy a house in Ridgewood - within less than a month!). We enjoyed every minute of working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in Ridgewood (and surrounding towns)."
★★★★★
"Frances was fantastic when we sold our home! She is so conscientious and pays great attention to her clients and is insanely knowledgable about the market. We had already relocated before our house sold - she took great care of our house so that it was always camera ready with everything working (which included power outage and equipment repair - even hiring an exterminator to get rid of a varmint!). She handled the buyers and their agent quite well, and we got a very good outcome in a tough market. We would strongly recommend Frances for anyone selling their home in Ridgewood."
★★★★★
"We bought and then later sold our home with Frances Ekblom. Both times, she hit it out of the ball park. Frances' positive and energetic ways made it easy to navigate through the challenges of buying and selling a home. She never dropped the ball, stayed on top of details and both times brought the contract to conclusion successfully and without delay. Frances knows the inventory and the ebb and flow of the market. She gave us tips on how to stage our home and have it cleaned; four days later, we had an offer we accepted. She couldn't have done a better job. She was not only our realtor, but became our friend."
★★★★★
"Working with Frances was the best. She is truly the expert on Ridgewood real estate, and was a pleasure to work with. She makes you feel comfortable every step of the way and does an excellent job negotiating for her clients. My husband and I were moving from an NYC rental apartment and Frances helped us buy our first home together. Highly recommend working with Frances!"
