Testimonials

My family can echo all the positive experiences other clients have had with the Flanagan Jones Group; they are truly superb realtors. We faced a difficult challenge in selling my mother’s house after she passed away – whether to sell as-is or invest in upgrades, whether to stage the house, how to arrange escrow when the house was owned by two different trusts with different cost bases, whether to list the property at an earlier appraised value or count on an improvement in the market, and innumerable other details that were well beyond our expertise. At each step along the way, Fran and Liz provided excellent advice, drawing on years of experience and a feel for how the local market was likely to behave. In the end, they successfully guided us through a negotiating process with several bidders, always with an up-beat, friendly demeanor and sound judgment. We could not have asked for better advisers, and, in the end, friends. We would highly recommend them to others.

To Fran, Liz, and Brandon Thank you, thank you for all you have done - too numerous to list! Your knowledge, professionalism, and kindness always made me feel that I was in the most capable of hands. Your eagle eyes saw everything and nothing was overlooked. You have made my transition so easy and are the very best. Love you, Judy Fichman xoxo

Working with Fran and Liz, we ended up with the best of both worlds. Fran’s astounding expertise in these areas, her strategic thinking, savvy, and influencing skills shine through. Liz brings her own talents to the team - her passion for this business plus she is a very determined, driven, smart businesswoman. We benefited from both perspectives greatly. Throughout the negotiating process Fran and Liz never let up and were tenacious, professional and relentless. We are very fortunate to know and have worked with such high integrity, consummate professionals, and talented women.

I cannot begin to express my sense of gratitude to Fran Flanagan and Liz Jones for the expert way they managed the trust sale of my parents’ home. In fact, the whole Flanagan Team covered every aspect of the sale in an extremely professional manner. Their guidance from our initial meeting to discuss home value and a marketing plan, to execution of the sale, proved to be invaluable. Their advice concerning the sale closing process was extremely helpful and contributed heavily to a very smooth transaction. As the Executor of my parents’ Trust, I found that the Fran Flanagan Team did everything possible in listing, showing, and selling the home. While at the same time, accommodating or eliminating travel time between my home and Santa Monica. I am deeply grateful to Fran and Liz for the caring and respectful way they approached the sale of my parents’ home.

We were so fortunate to have worked with Fran and Liz after our move from New York to the Palisades. They were true partners - - it felt like they were always looking out for our best interest rather than just trying to close a deal and move on. In addition to bringing vast and deep market knowledge, there was unending patience as we hemmed and hawed over our decision. Their attention to detail and responsiveness were unmatched. Having worked with several other brokers in the past - we think there is no better team than Fran and Liz.

I had the distinct pleasure to work with Fran on the sale of a residential property in the Palisades Riviera on behalf of the family trust of my beloved brother in law. Working with family trusts is never easy and is not only complicated with trust law, probate law, etc, but with the emotional aspects of family members as well. To say that Fran is a consummate professional is an understatement. She gently but firmly guided the family through the entire process, provided superb advice and negotiated brilliantly on our behalf. She anticipated some pretty complex issues and prepared us well. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend her…she is a pro’s pro!!! I would never consider anybody else when it comes to real estate in the Palisades.
