Emily Franc Cascade Hasson Sotheby's International Realty, Portland OR

My husband and I recently had the privilege of working with Emily to purchase a house in Portland. We're from out of state and had limited knowledge of the area. It was such a pleasure working with her. She was extremely responsive and gave great advice and assistance before and after we purchased our home.

Emily was such a dream to work with. She helped guide us through one very complicated offer and got us into the home of our dreams. In a city that was new to us, she was available every step of the way to answer all of our questions, big and small. I would highly recommend using Emily.

My fiancé and I are 1st time home buyers and had the privilege to work with Emily. She would always go above and beyond with all of our needs. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows how translate all the real estate lingo to novices like us. She was always at the ready whenever we needed information. I cannot rave about her enough! Work with Emily if you want to buy your dream home smoothly!

We couldn't have asked for someone more thoughtful in helping us buy our first home in Portland. In such a crazy market, Emily was so on top of it, dedicating time and energy to showing us homes that fit our criteria. Her communication made the process so much easier, as she always answered our endless questions over text, call, or in person, taking the time to teach us the ins and outs of the whole home-buying process. She worked with our timeline and budget, and shared with us an extremely reliable network that helped us close on our home smoothly and efficiently. We highly recommend!

Emily showed the utmost professionalism, knowledge of the Portland market, and negotiation experience to help us find the perfect home. She was incredibly patient with us in our nearly 1-year search in a highly competitive market. We will be recommending Emily Franc to anyone and everyone who is buying or selling a home.

I could not sing higher praises for Emily Franc—she has the upmost professionalism, expertise, and ethical grounding. Thanks to her we are now in our dream home!

The housing market is very rough, especially for first time home buyers like us. We looked at what was probably over 100 houses with Emily and she never wavered in her commitment to our priorities and wish list. We were looking at houses with our toddler- which can make house hunting more complicated, and Emily was amazing through it (and will win over any child’s heart). She never pressured us to speed up the process or to bid on houses that were not good matches for us.

Emily has an incredible depth of knowledge of the Portland area housing market. She is thorough and detail oriented in her review of houses—identifying strengths and risks with different purchases. She prepares a house tour guide that neatly summarizes all the houses we were viewing on a given day. She was aligned with our goal of not just finding a house… but finding something with a lot of magic and somewhere we could be for a long time.

Emily is also excellent at guiding home buyers through the bidding process. The reality of this market is that we were up against cash offers and buyers who were comfortable with high risk negotiation features – such as declining inspections. Emily helped us identify ways we could be competitive while staying in our (more prudent) comfort zone.

Her attention to detail and excellent recommendations for follow-up services has really made our move-in so much less stressful. She cared for us through the whole process.

So if you want an incredible, savvy Realtor agent—go with Emily Franc!

Whether you're in need of a realtor or not, everyone needs an Emily! Our good friends referred Emily to us and we couldn't be happier with our experience as first-time homebuyers. From our very first call, she impressed us with her extensive knowledge, her attention to detail, and her empathetic, engaged and positive personality. It's clear that she genuinely enjoys her work, and is eager to help all kinds of folks navigate the often complex world of real estate.

Emily's strategic approach absolutely sealed the deal when it came time to put an offer together in this insanely competitive market. Her proactive communication, level of insight, and general responsiveness put us at ease every time we spoke with her, and we've now gained a new friend in the process of buying a home, which is an added bonus. We'll be taking her recommendations for contractors for plenty of years to come—her rolodex of service providers in the area is quite impressive! We would heartily recommend Emily to anyone!

After being ghosted by several other local realtors, we were so fortunate to have been recommended to Emily by our Mortgage Broker. Being first-time home buyers is intimidating and complicated enough at the best of times, and the peculiarities of the COVID-affected market are pretty intense, but Emily was totally committed to getting us into our dream house. She was with us every step of the way—we never felt like we were 'less than' despite having a decidedly slimmer budget than some of her other clients. She's a wealth of knowledge about home construction, neighborhoods, building codes—everything you might need to know. And her work doesn't end when the papers are signed—we will be relying on her recommendations for contractors, plumbers, etc for years to come.

Emily was an absolute dream to work with. She was proactive in searching for homes and very available when it came to scheduling viewing appointments. The process from start to close went smoothly and I so appreciated her expertise in putting together a competitive offer. Emily was patient in answering my many questions and maintained a positive attitude while searching for homes in a crazy market. I would definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Portland area!

Emily acted as my sales agent spring 2019 after interviewing two other realtors and it was an excellent decision. I was so pleased with her service, I went straight back to Emily when it was time to purchase. Emily's was knowledgeable and responsive to my every question and concern. She constantly reassured me with her balance; good advice when needed, yet no pressure. I didn't feel rushed in my decision-making and always felt supported in whatever direction I chose to take. One of the best stories I have is when all the repairs on my home I was purchasing were taking place. My family asked me if there were any issues with the repairs. I got to say " I don't know" because my experience was that Emily takes care of EVERYTHING. She searches the best valued experts, schedules multiple bids, is present during the inspections, trouble-shoots any shortfalls, and in the end everything is done well and reasonably priced. I have many more examples of her excellent service and personal attention to details, but I will finish with: I highly recommend Emily Franc.

Emily was the best. Stuck with us for over 2 years and helped us get our dream house! The closing process was quick and painless despite the pandemic. Thanks so much Emily

In my interactions with Emily, she's demonstrated honesty, excellent level of industry knowledge, and a keen desire to offer real value to her clients. Definitely worth contacting for if you are considering marketing your home.
