Annmarie Del Franco

My family is brand new to Connecticut, just moving here in May for a job I accepted in March. Leading up to the move, things were quite chaotic-- we didn't know ANYTHING about Connecticut, and we were now facing a very short amount of time where we had to find a home. I'm thankful I came across Annmarie's information from a listing on Zillow. She basically adopted our family from 1500 miles away, and since we couldn't be in Connecticut to look at listings, she did the house-hunting for us in our absence. Whether it was the many video tours she created for us of different homes, or Video chatting while on-site, we were confident that our interests were being represented and we were getting the right information to make a confident decision. On the couple occasions I was able to be in the area leading up to the move, she gave me her full attention and toured me around many areas of the state where we might consider moving. The most impressive thing about Annmarie was that she put our needs FAR ahead of her own. As the deadline to find a home was getting close, and as she was negotiating offers on a few rentals we were considering, I came across a home that wasnt allowing broker involvement. Instead of trying to convince us to hold out and buy/rent with her assistance and earn her commission, Annmarie encouraged us to pursue this house, knowing that my family needed closure and a place to live as soon as possible. I was shocked at how graceful she was in handling the situation, and I'm confident that we'll use Annmarie when the time comes to buy or rent our next home in Connecticut.

Unbelievable and so professional to have AnneMarie as my realtor agent AnnMarie was such a pleasure to work with while finding a home that my family and I fell in love with. She truly went above and beyond. Ensuring the process was smooth,she was very hands on and making sure everything was perfect. I loved the fact I was able to communicate with AnnMarie 24/7. She always had time to reassure me and keep me update with the process of buying my dream home. Words cannot express how truly grateful my family and I are to AnnMarie. I found my dream home and thanx to AnnMarie we are so ecstatic and truly thrilled that we had the pleasure of having AnnMarie on our side. I will definitely recommend her to family and friends in the near future. Thank you thank you thank you AnnMarie!!

Annmarie DelFranco is a wonderful realtor. Very conscientious andalways ready to listen to your needs. I continue to highly recommend her.

Annmarie was a pleasure to work with. She is kind, understands and listened to our needs. She is quick to respond and was honest with us at all times. She really knows the area well.

Ann Marie was so great to work with. She was very detailed, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout our buying process. We highly recommend her!

Annmarie helped me find my first home in Ridgefield. She was able to find a needle in the haystack by identifying the perfect property for my particular situation. She was always attentive to my needs, patient in explaining the process, and professional throughout. 10/10 recommend!

After interviewing several brokers Annmarie stood out from the very beginning.....She was Responsive, very pleasant and very knowledgable about the market, the area and social media. Her tips about selling provided me with relevant data and listing metrics that were very helpful. Her listing photography was superb. Annmaries recommended list price drew an immediate offer and as a result we listed and closed in 90 days. I have sold multiple properties in Ct. and Ma., Annmarie has been the best broker I have ever worked with....reliable with excellent communication, outstanding service, she went out of her way to help out even with the smaller things (not to mention she is just a lovely person! )HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

moments were during bad weather. She did not let the snow or rain stopped us from going out to see our potential future home. There were also times when we were housed out and was about to throw the towel in. In other words, we saw numerous homes with varying prices and styles. This on first several weeks. Applause goes out to Annmarie because she loves what it is that she does and always with a pleasant smile.In the end, we were truly happy to have met Annmarie and the rest was history. We have been creating wonderful moments and memories in our home.

Annmarie was very straight forward from the beginning. While on occasion she'd humor us with tours of homes we'd chosen that weren't right, she took out a lot of the leg work by understanding early on our needs and limitations. She was helpful and available through our entire process and with negotiations. It was nice to move and have a friendly face to check in with when visiting town

AnnMarie was terrific to work with! She was so helpful guiding us through the entire house-buying process and quick to respond when we had questions. She also had great suggestions of local people/businesses that helped us make the house our own. Highly recommend.

Our goal during a very competitive market was to locate a realtor who was the best. In choosing a realtor, we wanted and needed the best one who would make a difference in a very tough real estate environment We found better than the best when we engaged Annmarie Del Franco of Blackstone Realty. She surpassed our expectation and performed aggressively yet respectfully. Not only was she responsive to those who initiate interest in our house but was ingenious in seeking and cultivating prospects. She reached out to bring potential buyers to our property. Annmarie built and cultivated a reservoir of those who defined our target marketShe kept us up to date with those who visited our house and trends as our local market evolved. She was a master in negotiating at contract time bringing us a higher price than that with which we were willing to accept. Annmarie was always available -- we never felt neglected or second to any of her other clients. Not only is she a professional realtor but one who made the association enjoyable. Hats off to Annmariean outstanding and honest realtor who indeed stands above even the best,

Annmarie is a professional and a pleasure to work with. She helped us with both the sale of our existing house and purchase of our new house- both deals went through quickly without drama. I highly recommend Annmarie!

The professional service and personal attention I received from Annmarie Del Franco from Blackstone Properties of CT was exceptional. Her knowledge of the local market in the Redding community helped me locate the perfect house. She worked diligently with me reviewing several home options explaining all the property information and financial requirements to ensure I was receiving the best possible available home to match my needs. I would highly recommend Annmarie Del Franco to help you in this life changing move. I could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide me through the process. Less

Annmarie is a sunny, positive agent and principal of her own firm. The CT Real Estate market has been sluggish and essentially "dead" in our price range. She never seemed discouraged. She was a marketing-genius with her social media advertising, she helped get our home staged (with our own furnishings) by a 3rd party advisor, and she had fantastic photography done of our property. All of these things caused a surge in views and interest in our home. (We had previously been listed for over one year with a large brokerage house, and saw greater results with Annmarie). Our house sold - while all of our competition is still on the market!

Annmarie was wonderful to work with. As first time homebuyers, she talked us through every step of the process. Her negotiation skills ensured that we got a great deal on our home. We would highly recommend Annmarie to our family and friends!

We worked with Annmarie for over 9 months as we searched for the perfect home in the perfect location. Through out the entire process she was patient, personable and professional. She was able to discern our needs and wants to the point that she would screen any homes that looked interesting online, so we would not waste a 2 1/2 hour drive to see the home.When we found our new home she led the negotiations in a thoughtful and positive manner.We highly recommend Annmarie for your house hunting needs.

AnnMarie is a true professional! We interviewed many Realtors prior to listing our house and believe that AnnMarie was the determining factor in selling our house in a down market. It is an understatement to say that She went above and beyond. AnnMarie showed our house numerous times and we know that all the showings were due to her professionalism, social media, advertising and marketing expertise. And of course her positive, friendly and fun personality! Thank you so much AnnMarie!

Annmarie guided us in purchasing our first home. She is smart, confident, and very knowledgeable on the current market. She is always researching and keeping her eyes open, and ultimately helped us find our perfect home. In addition, she is kind and caring and we genuinely felt like she always had our best interest in mind. I would highly recommend using her!

I have known and worked with Annmarie for many years. Whether it's rental or purchase, she's always been extremely patient and helpful. The properties I had either rented or was looking to purchase were all small in scale, but Annmarie always took the time to work with us at the convenience of my busy schedule. I can not thank her enough, and will definitely continue to work with her on any future real estate deals.

Annmarie was the agent who sold us our Ridgefield condo in 2011. When it was time for me to sell, who else would we call? Annmarie was a great help in pricing and staging the unit to sell. With expectations of a long process, we put the unit on the market in early August, received and accepted a bid and closed at the beginning of October. In an environment where there seemed to be a glut of properties on the market, this was truly amazing. Annmarie is a real pro, and I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Ridgefield area.

We thought of listing with Annmarie immediately when we decided to sell the town house in Norwalk. She was our purchase agent four years ago, when we were exhausted and frustrated from searching for well over a year with two other agents successively, who either failed to understand our needs or to cinch the deal last minute. After some chat, both my husband and I were struck by her warmth and intelligence, so we decided to take a chance with her. Fortunately in this case the first impression did not deceive. She helped us find the right property soon, while making the process enjoyable with her light-hearted jokes and insightful comments. Annmarie immediately went into action when I contacted her for the sale. During her first visit, she not only gave me a list of "homework" to do, but also rolled up her sleeves, moving some furniture around and hanging paintings in the right placesshe even brought in a hammer! The listing price was tricky, but she did thorough research and nailed it--as the final sale's price proves. Even after we had signed the purchase agreement with the buyer, she worked tirelessly to resolve every issue raised by the inspector. For the skylight alone, she met with three contractors in search of a better deal. I can give more details from her hard work and smart decisions along the way, but result is usually the best testimonial. Annmarie found us a buyer in 60 days, and the sale was closed last month--while other units in the same complex listed at the same time are still showing. Annmarie is the best. We were so fortunate to have met her at that open house four years ago!

I listed my condo with Annmarie with the utmost confidence that she would do the best job in selling it. She was highly recommended and loved working with her. She would always return my calls with clarity to the questions I would ask. Annmarie is very professional and knows just when to negotiate to get the best possible price. I would recommend her highly..Great girl.

"Annmarie was a huge help from the very beginning of the process, as we were just getting to know the area, to the end, as we dealt with the closing. She was particularly great at doing due diligence on houses we were considering making an offer on, by digging up information in the various local officers. We highly recommend her!"

"Annmarie helped us sell a house in considerable need of updating. The house was on the market on two separate occasions. She is very experienced and this showed in her patience, humor and willingness to let any price reduction feel one we arrived at ourselves. We are pleased to recommend her."

I cannot recommend Annmarie highly enough! From our first conversation I knew she was the right fit for me. Annmarie came to our first meeting with a clear understanding of the current marketplace, a strong marketing program, and a great sense of what was needed. Her years of experience made me feel totally confident in her.Once we listed she was an excellent communicator and gave me constant feedback. In the end we accepted an offer in two weeks when there were four other units in my association on the market. Three of which are still on the market. Annmarie knocked it out of the park and went above and beyond to make sure the listing and closing process all went smoothly. We are HUGE fans of Annmarie!Less

Annmarie Del Franco was absolutely amazing to work with. She was HIGHLY recommended by my mortgage broker. From the moment Annmarie started to assist my wife and I until weeks after the closing she was wonderful! Always immediately responsive, able to meet with me at the last minute when I wanted to take another look at the house, for all of the inspections etc... Annmarie is a true professional, even in a time when finding the right people to work with is becoming harder to find she is one of the best realtors out there, and trust me I've worked with a few of the not soo good! I highly recommend Annmarie... no need to look further! Blackstone properties is the way to go!
