“We had a great experience working with Frank on the sale of our property.

He is knowledgeable, professional, and calm.

Given the crazy market in San Diego at the time and that we had to be out of town for much of the process, we relied heavily upon his guidance and felt at ease knowing he was taking care of everything.

His sound advice made for a smooth transaction from start to finish. We highly recommend Frank to others and will work with him again.”

“I had always wanted to buy a home in a neighborhood beach community and my realtor, Frank Grannis, helped me make it happen.

I honestly thought that with the prices what they are in Southern CA that it would always be an out of reach goal.

Frank was so dialed in and connected with so many people in various aspects of real estate.

He set me up with an amazing mortgage broker who was able to get me a loan that I never thought would work out. It did and here I am!

Frank did all the things that you think of when you think of realtors (sending me links to homes, taking me on walkthroughs, and such), but it was the difficult stuff where he separated himself from others.

He negotiated against a tough cookie of a seller and ultimately was able to get me a much better price than it was listed for and he also was able to secure some terms that I didn't even expect.

I could go on for hours explaining the day to day, 24/7 type of involvement by Frank. But I'll just say this as clearly as possible. Don't work with any other realtor than Frank Grannis!”

“Frank Grannis was a tremendous asset to my husband and I as our realtor.

It took us almost three months of daily focus and tours to find the home of our dreams. And when we did, there were three other offers made on it!

That was no obstacle for Frank, however, as he was able to get an inside position with the seller’s agent. And before we knew it, we had beat out all the other buyers during the counter-offer process.

I make it sound so easy, but believe me it was not. Frank had to fight tooth and nail.

In addition to Frank securing the house for us, he also connected us with an incredible mortgage broker, a very helpful insurance broker, as well as a handyman and a custom cabinet maker.

Frank is truly so professional, amazing and very well connected.

Frank Grannis will always be our realtor for any of our future real estate needs. He should be yours too!”

— Annie T., Realtor.com Review

“I want to give a big shout out to my real estate agent, Frank Grannis.

Frank helped me with the sale of my home.

He was referred to me by a friend of a friend as I had no one to turn to. He is such an awesome guy. Very caring and so helpful.

I had to sell against a deadline for a move out of state and he was able to get it done!

In the rush, I was afraid that I'd take some kind of loss on the sale, but Frank was a great negotiator and didn't let me get taken advantage of.

Frank Grannis should be anyone's first choice when considering a real estate agent.”

— Nancy W., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“My wife and I chose to work with Frank Grannis as our realtor and we are so thankful that we did.

Frank was referred to us by three different friends who had worked with him in the past. All had glowing things to say.

We set up an in-person visit just to make sure that we would all be able to be on the same page and to feel comfortable working together.

Frank immediately put us at ease and we quickly found that we were certain that we did not need to look any further.

This was our first home purchase and Frank was so kind and patient to give us the extra attention during the entire process. He was such a hands on guy, that he was there for us morning, noon, and night, every single day.

We got a little scared when it got down to the nitty gritty time as we were just one of four offers on the house that we loved.

It must be why Frank was such a top tennis player, because we could tell the competitive part (negotiations) was what he loved the most. We were scared and Frank exuded confidence!

He said he would get our offer to be chosen and he in fact did!

We will likely be in this home for a while, but when the day comes for us to sell this home and buy another one, one thing for certain is that we will choose to work with Frank once again.”

— Cody, Realtor.com Review

“My husband and I worked with Frank Grannis as our real estate agent to purchase our house.

This was in the absolute crazy time with many multiple offers on homes. In our case we were up against 6 other offers and 3 were all cash and quick contingency times.

Frank was an incredible resource for us throughout the whole process. While he was great at everything, it was his ability to negotiate with the listing agent that stood out.

We don't know how he did it, but Frank got our offer accepted over all the others.

And I know that our offer wasn't better than the others. It certainly wasn't bad, but it wasn't better. So, absolute kudos to Frank!

If buying or selling a home is in your future, you should make Frank your realtor. You'll be happy that you did!”

— LB, Realtor.com Review

“Frank Grannis was my realtor to sell my house and he couldn't have been better (or nicer or more professional). The guy knows what he's doing.

I was told by people (and a few other agents) that my house would be very difficult to sell.

At the end of the day, my home did need some work before selling, but with a limited budget, I just didn't know where to start and put my money. And nobody was willing to give me any specific guidance.

I found Frank from an internet search. His website blew me away. I called him up at 8:45 pm on a Friday night and he took my call!

We arranged a time to meet at my house one day later. He was completely honest with me and told me the couple of things that he could have done that would make my home look great and get the max money out of it.

Frank was connected with a great painter, carpet guy and a handyman. Everything came together quickly. Then he arranged beautiful staging and photography.

When it was all said and done? I had four offers and wound up selling for $130,000 more than I ever would have dreamed of.

Frank handled everything for me during the entire process and I was able to stay calm and collected and focus on other things going on in my life simultaneously.

I strongly urge anyone considering a real estate agent to choose Frank Grannis. You'll be happy that you did.”

“My wife and I had an exceptional experience working with Frank Grannis as our realtor.

We met Frank at an open house for a home that he was selling in the same neighborhood that we ultimately bought in.

It took us about four months to find the right home and balancing location along with price. We saw a lot of places.

Besides Frank's amazing professionalism, we were really taken by the fact that Frank knew every neighborhood that we looked in. And these weren't neighborhoods that were right next to each other either.

As the process went on, my wife and I tightened our focus and finally made an offer on the home that we wound up getting. We had to compete against literally six other offers, some cash. We didn't think we stood a chance.

But Frank somehow navigated our offer to the top. He clearly has a knack and a nose for how to make it to the finish line in first place. For so many reasons, we wholly recommend Frank Grannis to any one who will listen.”

— CA&G, Realtor.com Review

“Buying a house in a seller’s market is not an easy thing to do, but Frank Grannis has the expertise and patience to close on your dream home!

Frank graciously showed us about two dozen beautiful homes over a six month period until we knew we had found our perfect home.

Throughout the process, he was extremely communicative and went above and beyond for us as we searched for a home from out of town.

It can be difficult to make such a huge decision from so far away, but we felt comfortable buying our home sight unseen by working with Frank.

I encourage anyone looking for a home to contact Frank, especially if you live out of town or are first time home buyers, as you’ll quickly feel at ease if you do.

Frank was incredibly thorough and invaluable in giving us feedback during showings that we wouldn’t have known otherwise.

Also, we did not realize how much negotiating and back and forth is part of the closing process.

Luckily, Frank was there every step of the way fighting for our best interests. You won’t find a better realtor!”

“Frank Grannis did a tremendous job helping us buy our home.

Moving from across the country, we had no idea who to turn to for our real estate needs. This created pressure as did the fact that we needed to find something sooner rather than later.

We found Frank after doing quite a bit of searching online.

We arranged to meet in person and we were both taken by how professional he was and how well he knew the various neighborhoods.

That night we were feeling much more relaxed! Anyway, it didn't take long until we made an offer on a beautiful home. The next day Frank gave us the good news that our offer was accepted.

That's just the highlights as there was so much behind the scenes that Frank did over a 30 day period to make everything appear smooth and easy. We've been around enough to know that Frank made it so.

Please consider Frank Grannis if you or any of your friends are looking for a great real estate agent.”

“Frank Grannis was a superb realtor for my husband and I.

We were moving from the east coast and we found Frank through a web search of top real estate agents.

There were a number of realtors that appeared to have good sales experience, but once I linked over to his website, I could just tell that he was going to be a cut above.

We gave Frank a call and we basically interviewed him on the spot. He listened intently to what we had on our minds for neighborhoods, house criteria, and our budget, among many other things.

I couldn't believe that he was so versed in every neighborhood that we were interested in, especially since they were spread throughout San Diego County.

There were a lot of steps in the process, but I'm here to say that Frank was with us every step of the way morning and night.

We ultimately got the home that we wanted and at a price that met our number.

Frank did quite a bit of negotiating and working it with the sellers agent which was so helpful since we were up against another buyer.

Frank is going to be our forever real estate agent!”

— LM, Realtor.com Review

“All I can say is Frank Grannis is a stud real estate agent.

He sold my house in less than ten days, had a multiple offer situation and was able to structure a deal where I was able to get more than my asking price without having to give up any concessions to the buyers during negotiations.

What else is there to say. I will work with him again and again if I have ever have real estate needs in the future.”

— Caroline M., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“I loved working with Frank Grannis.

It was such a wonderful experience that I not only worked with him to buy a house, I also worked with him to sell my house.

I didn't have any past connection to Frank when I went online to start looking up agents. I came upon his website and was really impressed with how he came across in his videos. A genuine guy, full of optimism, and professional to the core.

I called him and he actually answered the phone (imagine that!). I had a specific list of criteria that I wouldn't budge from. Frank found me the home that matched every single thing to a t.

What impressed me the most about his abilities is that Frank was not only able to get my offer accepted over literally four others, but he was also able to negotiate some credits (it adds up!) when the agent had said no way from the onset. Frank is like a magician in that way.

I wholeheartedly suggest that you work with Frank Grannis if you are buying or selling (or both) a home.”

— CMJ, Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“I can't believe my good fortune having Frank Grannis as my real estate agent to sell my precious home.

I knew that the day would come when I just couldn't live alone in my large house with way too many stairs, rooms and land. It was a bittersweet pill to swallow.

But Frank was right there by my side, each day, making sure I was doing ok, as he walked me inch by inch through all the steps of the transaction.

From helping organize all the house prep, staging, photos, to his actual marketing and selling (he actually sells!) to all the documents, negotiations and escrow stuff, Frank truly had me covered.

I know he loves what he does and it really shows.

The best thing about the whole deal is that he was able to get the house bid on by three buyers and the price went way past asking price.

This sweet, sweet man knows exactly what he is doing.

I strongly recommend Frank Grannis for your real estate needs. You'll be very happy with the results.”

— Liveloveandlaugh, Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“This was a Trust Sale situation and all of the complexities that can go with that. I'm here to say that Frank Grannis performed exemplary.

This was an emotional time and he walked us through how the process was going to play out. Everything, I mean everything, that he guided us through was spot on.

The sale brought us about $70,000 more than we were expecting and I owe that all to Frank's ability to sell and negotiate.

Not only was the extra money a nice thing, he also made sure that all of the terms were favorable to us as well.

Whether a normal sale or a trust situation, I strongly suggest that you work with Frank.”

— JP, Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“My wife and I wanted to sell our home as discreetly as possible. We were not interested in having open houses nor did we want tons of people strolling through.

We contacted Frank based on a referral from our good friends.

We explained our situation and goals and Frank completely understood. He said he had experience in such type of sales and he explained specifically how he would go about it.

Literally in a matter of weeks we had closed escrow.

Frank used his vast network of contacts to find a family that was looking in our neighborhood and who jumped at the chance.

He got us the price that we had said would make us very happy. Also, we didn't have to give anything away in the negotiations and the entire process was smooth. This is how a transaction should go.

We highly recommend Frank Grannis. A great professional and a nice guy as well.”

— Harrison L., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“I'm a bottom line guy. I want to make money when I sell a home and save money when I buy a home.

Frank Grannis isn't your everyday real estate agent.

He's a sharp, business-minded professional who happens to also be a real estate agent.

He sold my house quickly, for 15% more than I expected. And he negotiated favorable terms.

If you are about to choose a real estate agent, you better call Frank.”

— SL, Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“My husband and I worked with Frank to buy our first house and we couldn't be more thrilled about our experience from start to finish.

We really didn't know what to expect (or the questions to even ask). We had met with a few agents in the weeks previous to choosing Frank and honestly they either were not very professional, didn't know the market well, and/or seemed a bit on the pushy side.

From the beginning, Frank took the time to understand us and what we truly wanted to accomplish. He went through everything that we had to sign with a fine tooth comb making sure we were aware of all details.

It took us a couple of months to find the exact home that we were looking for and Frank hung in there every step of the way. When we finally made an offer, we had to compete with three other offers.

Frank had warned us that it could happen but he had always said that this is when he really shines.

Well, he shined alright.! We beat out the others and now we are living the San Diego dream in our lovely house.

Thank you, Frank!”

“I've worked with many realtors over the years, but none have compared to Frank Grannis.

I met Frank at a tennis event and we started talking all things real estate. I had been thinking of selling my home in order to size down for my current needs. I was taken by his knowledge of the market and his thought process.

I asked if he would come to my house and give me his "pitch". Two days later, Frank showed up at my house with a detailed sales and marketing plan practically broken down by the minute!

Fast forward, I obviously went with him and he sold my house in about ten days above the price I was looking for.

I'm normally a hands on kind of guy, but I quickly realized Frank was even more so, so I turned him loose and trusted him implicitly through the whole process.

Frank Grannis totally exceeded my expectations and will be the only agent that I work with at any point in the future.”

— David G., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“The experience that we had with Frank Grannis as the real estate agent to sell our home was simply amazing.

We are the type to ask a thousand questions. And Frank had a 1,000 answers!

He was professional, knew what he was talking about, and had a great sense for promotion and marketing.

The market in our neighborhood when we were selling was during a slow cycle so we knew to be patient. What we weren't prepared for was that we would have multiple offers.

I don't know how he did it, but Frank created a bidding war.

We want to say how much we appreciated Frank's efforts throughout the entire experience.

We will work with Frank whenever we have real estate needs in the future.”

— Frank C., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“6 real estate agents over a 20 year period and none compares to Frank Grannis.

I only wish that I had met him way back when I bought my first house. Professional, detailed, transparent, and knows the business inside and out.”

— KD, Realtor.com Review

“I had to move my family to San Diego from the east coast due to a work opportunity. I had no clue who to call to help us.

I found Frank Grannis on a web search.

His website drew me in. It was so authentic and clearly wasn't cookie cutter like most others that I saw from other realtors.

We booked a zoom call and had an interview. My wife and I were taken by his demeanor, professional approach and his sincerity.

95% of things were done via video.

It wasn't until we knew we had found the perfect house did we make the flight out.

Frank made the process so easy during a very chaotic time. He was solid and grounded and kept us focused on the task at hand, checking in all the time.

At the end of the day, we not only got the home we wanted, but we also saved $130,000 from the list price.

He's a great negotiator.

Do yourself a favor and contact Frank if you are looking for a great realtor.”

— Golffourme, Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“I found Frank Grannis through a friend of a friend.

He had great word of mouth.

Just to be safe, I interviewed Frank against two other agents that I contacted through online ads. It was no contest and I actually felt sorry for the other two. The difference in his professionalism and demeanor was not even close.

Frank put together a plan and executed against that plan.

He had the best people behind the scenes helping such as a handyman, photographer, and a staging consultant. It was like a well oiled machine yet completely personal.

I was a name, not a number.

There's so much I could say. But the most important words are thank you. If you want a great real estate agent to help you, then turn to Frank.”

— Dave K., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“I can't thank Frank Grannis enough for how great he was to me.

My husband had passed away and I was left with a very large home on one acre. For financial reasons, and because of all the memories, I had to sell.

I was referred to Frank by a good friend. I couldn't have been happier.

Frank calmed me during a very emotional time.

And we actually didn't even talk about business the first two times that we spoke on the phone. He just wanted to make sure that I was doing ok.

When we did get down to business, I explained that in a perfect world that I'd prefer to sell my home off-market as I did not want to deal with strangers walking through my house. I simply couldn't deal with all that.

Frank said that he had a number of contacts that he would reach out to and see what he could do.

Lo and behold, he came back with the perfect buyer's who had been looking in my neighborhood but weren't happy with what was available. The best thing is these buyers were willing to pay the list price that I needed to be at.

The whole process from start to finish went smooth as silk.

Should I ever need a real estate agent again, Frank Grannis is the only one that I will work with.”

— Mary M., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“Frank Grannis was a terrific agent to work with.

I was given his name by an office friend who had worked with him to buy a house about a year before me.

I was moving from San Francisco and did not know many of the areas of San Diego other than La Jolla and Del Mar. Frank was so helpful from the beginning.

He made sure to really get to know me. Not just what I could afford and wanted to pay, but also what was most important to me in a house and a neighborhood.

I came to San Diego twice to meet Frank in person and to tour some homes. But the rest of the time, we did everything through video walkthroughs. He was so good and diligent during these videos that I felt that I was there in person.

When I finally decided on a house to make an offer on, it turned out that there were two other offers.

Frank told me that he will beat out those others. I don't know how he was able to do it, but two days later, the owners chose to go with me!

I recommend anyone looking for a real estate agent to look no further than Frank Grannis.”

— Jianni T., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“Frank Grannis was our real estate agent on the purchase of our house and my wife and I couldn't be more thrilled at his performance.

We were moving from out of state and we started planning this about a year in advance.

We initially reached out to Frank after having viewed his website. He came across clearly well above other agents that we had viewed.

How many real estate agents would have been as diligent over a 12 month period? He was always available and answered every question that we could throw at him about the market, neighborhoods, the buying process, etc.

When it finally came down to our being ready to move forward with a purchase, Frank was simply amazing.

The home we wanted had four other offers. We really didn't think we had more than a 20% shot at it.
Well, we were wrong.

Two days after submitting our initial offer and then going through the counter process, we got a phone call from Frank to tell us the good news!

The guy clearly has a knack for pulling a rabbit out of the hat!

We will likely stay in our home for many years to come. But should we make a move again, he will be the one we will work with.

We encourage all of our friends to give him a call.”

“This is the second time that I worked with Frank Grannis as my real estate agent.

This time it was for the purchase of my dream home!

He really is exceptional in every way.

I don't know how he did it, but Frank was able to get me $150,000 off the list price. And this was in a seller's market, nonetheless.

The seller was not a cup of tea. The negotiations of terms were difficult as well. But here again, Frank got everything in my favor.

The guy has nerves of steel.

I will continue to work only with Frank Grannis for any of my real estate needs and I suggest that you do the same.”

— Caroline M., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“I was so happy with the experience of working with Frank Grannis to sell my house.

I literally had no idea who I should work with on the disposition of my family home. It was a Trust Sale and Frank was recommended to me by the attorney. For my attorney to make a recommendation was like gold to me, so I went with it.

Frank was such a caring man, and given the circumstances, I was so appreciative of his calm, thoughtful approach.

I felt such confidence in Frank that I turned him loose. And boy he did not disappoint.

I highly recommend Frank Grannis whenever you are in need of a real estate agent”

— Sara D., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“Frank Grannis was the real estate agent who sold our house, and my wife and I couldn't have been more delighted with the experience.

Frank was so attentive, so professional and so successful.

He secured over 8 written offers and ultimately was able to get us much more than asking. The proof is in the pudding!

If you are thinking of selling your home, you should call him now!”

— Tank W., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“My wife and I had an incredible experience purchasing our home with Frank Grannis representing us.

A large estate, this wasn't a simple transaction.

The seller was not forthcoming so Frank really had his work cut out to help ensure that we received follow-up, upon follow-up, upon follow-up, in regards to disclosures and other contract concerns. It seemed like a red flag every day that we had to get through.

Frank did it flawlessly. AND I should mention that he was able to get us more than $300,000 off the initial purchase price!

I highly recommend Frank to any and all!”

— Esteban N., Realtor.com Review

★★★★★

“Bought my first house with Frank Grannis as my agent.

I give him all the credit in the world for making it happen.

I was not the easiest guy to work with as I had a new job, was traveling all the time on business, and I wasn't sure what part of town I even wanted to live in.

Frank was patient, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about neighborhoods all over San Diego County.

And when it came time to make an offer, he was able to get it accepted over three other offers. I have a feeling every other offer was similar to mine with price, so I don't know how he was able to make mine stand out better than the others.

He just is one of those people with the knack for getting things accomplished successfully.

I highly recommend working with Frank if you ever are looking to buy a home.”
