Trust Must Be Earned
We purchased a house in Aurora, CO. over a year ago. We did a rehab and placed it on the market. After over a year, we came into contact with Frank Duran. Frank told us that he sells houses. He does not put them on multiple listings and let someone buy the house, he analyses the house, the contacts he has made and matches the needs of people to the houses he has listed. He lays out a plan and executes the plan. Well, we have heard stories from many people on what they say they can do. It is often difficult to weed out the “bull” from the truth. Well Frank performed as he said and in a few weeks the house that was not sold for over a year was sold at a very reasonable price. Other realtors had approached us and wanted to discount the house well below market so they could sell it. At this point I can say with absolute certainty that if Frank says he has a marketing plan and that he can sell, or negotiate, or any other function of a professional, expert realtor, then you can with full confidence believe what he says. He is a man of integrity. We thank you, Frank, for you expert, professional service. We appreciate the timely way in which you conduct your business. We mostly appreciate the professional and caring way in which you communicate along the path to the final transaction. Trust must be earned. YOU HAVE EARNED OURS.

Recomended by a Co-Worker
Frank Duran was recommended to me by a co-worker and from the moment I spoke with him on the phone I knew he was the realtor for me. His 'can do' attitude, real estate knowledge, and professionalism set him apart from other realtors I spoke with. I had a home to sell in a declining market this past June and I was worried about the prospects of getting the job done. Instead of telling me what I wanted to hear, Frank told me what I needed to hear about the realities of today's market. Other realtors, in order to get the contract, will tell you they can get you more for your home than is actually possible only to have you lower the price later on, sometimes several times. Not a good strategy! Frank really knows his business and as a result we sold my home in 3 days with an ensuing bidding war and I made $10,000.00 more than I was asking. SWEET! In fact, my neighbors were so impressed they used Frank to sell their home a couple of weeks later and he performed his magic with them as well, all in a weeks time. Frank Duran and his team WILL get the job done. You can be assured you are in very good hands. Thanks Frank! Three VERY satisfied clients will continue to recommend your services to anyone needing an excellent realtor.

Honesty
Frank Duran was my real estate agent in the sale of my home. Prior to that time, I was working with a different real estate company and agent. I was in a situation where I was under contract to build a house, and needed a quick sale on my home. I didn’t feel that this was being pursued by the agent I was working with, and therefore, withdrew from the contract. I began to interview other real estate agents at various companies. However, Frank contacted me by phone and asked that I consider meeting with him. Frank gave me a brief outline of his successful career in the real estate business. I agreed to meet with Frank the next morning. Frank was prepared for our meeting, bringing with him a market analysis and comparable properties that recently sold in my area and price range. I didn’t take it lightly when choosing an agent, and explained that to Frank. He appreciated my honesty and impressed me so much that I did sign with him. Before the end of the week my house was under contract. Frank worked to ensure that I was treated fairly by the buyers and their agent, and I knew Frank was doing the best job possible for me. I fully recommend Frank Duran to anyone in need of a quality real estate agent.

Exceptional at Every Level
I used to be an flight attendent and when a passengerthought I'd done an exceptional job,they would write me a "orchid letter".Thie is my orshid letter to Frankis on every level. I was lucky enough to be found by Frank after listing with on other agent had expired,Iwasa naive enough to think that if my house was staged andimmaculately presented, the house would sell itself. So the first time a had a 3 month listing with one of those rtedused commision real estate companies. They made numerous mistakes, including ending my listing earlyand asking ME why my house wasn't selling. Then Frank contacted me. By the time I chose him, I had intervieweda total of 11 agents over a five month period. Frank got me more qualified showings in 3 weeks than the other agent got me in 3 months. Within 6 weeks of lsting with Frank, we recieved an offer and sold the house at over 99% of our asking price. Frank not only is smart and savvy about this difficult real estate market, but he also works incredibly hard and is a man of honesty and integrity. And he did all of this for someone who moved out of state and couldn't give him repeat business!I cannot recommend highly enough.. in businessfilled with agents who colud be considered"lumps and Coal"for allthey accomplish, if you choose frank , you find a Diamond.

Outstanding Sevice
Brian and I would like to thank you Frank Duran for the outstanding service you provided us when selling our house. You not only delivered on your promise, but working with you was such a pleasure. We both feel as though we have a new friend. We had previously listed our house with two other realtors with whom we had our house on the market for three months each. Neither Realtor kept in touch with us the way you did, an neither made much more of an effort to sell our house short of listing it on the MLS. Needless to say, our house did not sell. After our listing had expired with our second agent, we listed our house with you, and we had a contract within three weeks (just four showings later)! I don’t know how you get the word out-but whatever you are doing works! We were very pleased with your customer service, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile to get our house sold quickly. Thank you for your excellent service! There is no doubt that when the time comes again for us to buy or sell a home-you will definitely be the person we call!!

Potential Buyers and Sellers
Potential home buyers and sellers: Our home was originally listed with another broker. During the time of our initial 6-month listing term, the broker wasn’t responsive to changes in the marketplace or pre-approving potential showings. There were instances where the broker brought people, just to see the decor. We received more offers to purchase our furnishings, rather than on the house. Overall, the broker made the experience very stressful for us. At the end of our contract, we explored the option of choosing another broker and interviewed several well-known agents. We were totally impressed with the presentation, enthusiasm, integrity and professional attitude exhibited by Frank Duran. Frank Utilized a very aggressive marketing plan in this tough market, and our home sold for the full asking price of $599,900 with competing offers! We highly recommend Frank to our friends, and anyone considering the possibly of selling their home. We have purchased, remodeled and sold 16 homes-using different agents in different locales-and Frank is, by far, the best broker we’ve ever worked with.

Listens to our Concerns
To whom it may concern: We listed and sold our home with Frank Duran. We had originally listed our home with a different Realtor. It was on the market for over eight months and we never received an offer. We decided to try again and listed with Frank. Within two months we had several offers and a sale. Frank worked with us continually during the time our home was listed. He agreed to call us a minimum of twice a week and did so. He agreed to follow up on all showings and did so. We were always informed on how each showing had gone. He constantly evaluated the competition. He presented our home to the Board of Realtors on several occasions. He listened to our concerns. He worked with us on the offers we received and helped us decide on what should be included in a counter-offer. He followed through on everything related to the listing and sale of the property. As you are in the evaluation process to determine which Realtor will list your property, we encourage you to consider Frank. We interviewed Frank and several other Realtors on the phone before deciding to have Frank list our property. He came across on the phone as a ‘go-getter’ and proved it to us in getting our home sold in a reasonable time. Thanks Frank!

To Prospective Clients
To prospective client of Frank Duran: You can not do better than to list a house through Frank or buy one with Frank!! I’ll make this as short as possible. Frank sold our home in 10 days. During that 10 days, we showed our home about 20 times! We had previously listed our home with another agent for 90 days, had 43 showings, NO OFFERS, and the Realtor never once called us in that 90 days!! It was really awful. Then we found Frank, what a difference there is in Realtors. Buying and selling a home was the most stressful position we had ever put ourselves in. Without Frank we never would have come through it as well as we did!! I can’t say enough about how wonderful Frank was to us. Besides the fact that we now have a very good friend, he treated us right.

Expert Knowledge
Expired with another agent after 90 days on the market. Re-listed with Frank Duran & Sold in 4 days for $500 over the asking price with 2 competing offers. This letter is to express my gratitude for the excellent job you did on selling my home. I really appreciate how you kept me informed on the progression of the sale. In addition, your expert knowledge of contracts proved to be most valuable as well as your negotiating abilities. I am impressed by your professionalism and I am looking forward to doing business with you in the very near future.

We tried to sell on our own
We tried to sell our home on our own to no avail. We then listed our home with a Realtor and had few showings and very little hope. After the contract expired with our Realtor, we were contacted by Frank Duran, who was persistent in his desires to help us sell our home and to re-list it with him. After interviewing Realtors, we decided that Frank would serve our needs best. He proved his service through frequent updates, more showings, and a marketing strategy that worked. Frank sold our home in about six weeks, just as he told us he would. We would highly recommend Frank Duran for your real estate needs. He is dedicated, conscientious, hard working individual, who sets his goals and meets them for his clients as well as for himself. Thank you Frank for taking so much of the burden off of us and selling our home in a timely manner. We appreciate your professionalism in handling our home sale!

To Good to be True
"Too good to be true?" Mr. Frank Duran is too good, but proved that it is TRUE! Frank is a delightful, and energetic sales representative who is capable of doing the impossible. After total failure by another realtor, Frank sprang into action and had our home sold in less than a week. He did background work that astounded the appraiser. Then, he ended up teaching the appraiser how to do a value update on properties. We would not hesitate hiring Mr. Duran to represent any and all of our properties in the future.

Professional and Confident
Our home was listed for 8 months with another Broker, to no avail, with little interest from anyone. Frank called us and asked if we still wanted to sell our home after our listing with the first agent had expired. We agreed to meet with him for an appointment. To say the least, we were impressed with your easy going style, professionalism and self confidence, yet not arrogant. Your forthright presentation was impressive and we decided to list our home with you, Frank Duran. Of course, we thought it would take another few months. Much to our surprise, Frank sold our home in three weeks at full price ($469,900) along with two backup offers! You are a dynamic individual and you work very hard. During this time you also welcomed a new family member into your home, yet you stayed on top of things and got the job done. Blessings,

Extraordinarily Pleasentand Motivated
I Mary Bollinger Chavez highly recommend Frank Duran as your realtor! Frank is a very extraordinarily pleasant, self confident, very motivated person, and that is what it took to sell our house. We had our house on the market for almost one year with another realtor. We decided to take it off of the market, because we felt that we could not get it sold. We finally talked with Frank. Frank was very confident and had no doubts that he could sell our home. Frank took over the listing, and in about four weeks, he had a contract on it! He put a lot of work into selling our home and he stayed on top of everything at all times. I had many doubts about selling our house, But Frank proved me wrong. I have recommended Frank to all of our friends and family, because that is how much confidence my husband and I have in him!

Excitement and Follow up
First of all, let me tell you that I don’t like realtors, especially the pushy type that call you out of the blue and act like your best friend. I don’t like loosing money, and I don’t like feeling dumb. So I decided I would sell my house myself. No problem, I read a few books, talked to a few friends and had an open house. No problem and no buyers. I told my husband "okay, if it doesn’t sell by the first of the month we’ll get a Realtor." I advertised my home in the paper and guess what? No buyers. People were calling asking me about financing and foundations, subjects I had no idea about. My time ran out sooner than I expected when my husband got a new job and they wanted him a.s.a.p. Frank Duran called us earlier in the week about our home. We called Frank and said "okay, take your best shot." I was very impressed with Frank’s excitement and follow-up. He did what he said he would do and through his efforts and the Lord’s blessing, we had a contract in our hands the day the moving truck was packed. So here’s my advise. If you want to sell your home yourself, go for it. But plan on spending lots of time and frustration learning a new vocabulary and hoping that you don’t miss something important in fine print. Having Frank around actually saved us money because we were able to sell our home quickly and go on to the next chapter in our lives. Looking back I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Fortunately for us
We had our home for sale with another agent/agency for 90 days. During that time, very little activity occurred. The agent assured us everything was being done to sell our home. When the listing expired, my wife and I decided to find another real estate agent. Fortunately for us, we decided to give Frank a try. Through Frank’s persistent calling and work, he got our listing. We had more activity within 30 days than what we had in 90 days with the other agent. Our house sold in only 5 weeks just as Frank had predicted. We would highly recommend Frank Duran for any of your real estate needs. You will not find someone more dedicated or hard working. We would not think of using anyone else for our real estate needs in the future.

He is a joy to work with.
Our home was on the market for better than 6 months with another realtor before we met Frank Duran. We heard it all, "lower the price", "the competition is tough out there", you name it. After our listing expired with the first realtor, Frank arrived at our home prepared with a complete market analysis of comparable houses in the area and actual sales and marketing strategies to sell our property. Frank listed our home and in just 3 weeks we had 5 offers on our home. Frank utilized his exceptional negotiation skills and we got the full contract price for our home ($5,000 higher than the last agent had it listed for!) Frank Duran is aggressive, competent and highly skilled in what it takes to sell your property. We recommend Frank Duran to anyone selling a house. He’s a joy to work with and enjoys what he’s doing.

Commitment
I had a condominium that I had been trying to sell for over a year with another agent. I had just pulled the listing off the market when Frank called me. Frank assured me that he would be much more proactive and that he believed he could get it sold in 40 days or less. I read all of his testimonial letters and decided to give him a whack at it. He presented his strategy for selling my property and followed each action step he indicated. Frank listed my property & had a contract on it in only 6 days! I was so pleased with the professionalism and commitment of Frank, that my husband and I are planning on listing our current home with him as well. Overall, Frank has a proven track record and has continually succeeded in cleaning up other agents failures. I do and will continue to recommend him to anyone selling a home.

Date Added: Jul 24, 2008

Confidence and Honesty
We had our home listed with another Realtor for two months. We had only two showings. Even though it is a slow market, we still thought we should have had more interest. We got out of our agreement, interviewed other Realtors, and hired Frank. We were impressed with his honesty and confidence in his ability to sell our home. Within a month Frank had our home under contract! We were pleased because by this time we needed a quick sale. We have been very impressed with Frank’s professionalism and work ethic. He is always on time and always returns phone calls promptly. When Frank says he will do something, he will!

Best Interest
Frank provided us with great service! Frank kept us well informed throughout the entire transaction, he defended our best interest, and he answered all of our questions and concerns. As a result, our house that lingered on the market for almost 4 months with another realtor, was sold by Frank in less than 30 days!

Excellent Job
To whom it may concern: I highly recommend Frank Duran as your realtor. He did an excellent job of selling my place. Others had said that it was impossible to sell. I had previously listed my home with another realtor for 5 months and no results. When my listing agreement with the previous agent had expired, Frank listed my home and worked very hard for me. He kept me posted constantly as to what was taking place. Frank is a very hard working and dedicated person. He won’t quit until he gets the job done. I highly recommend him to anyone. He had a contract on my place within 30 days. Thank you Frank, I am forever grateful.

Professional Approach
Dear Frank, I wanted to thank you again for making the sale of our home a real success. Your professional approach to both the marketing, and the negotiations with prospective buyers resulted in a fast sale at 100% of the listing price ($574,900). We interviewed 13 prospective realtors before selecting you to represent our property. Many of those realtors had long and successful records in the market and touted very extensive marketing programs. It was evident to us, however, that your marketing programs, dedication, work ethic, and integrity stood above even the best of the others we considered. All of your communications and marketing analysis along the way gave us continued confidence that we made the right realtor selection. Obviously from the results, we definitely chose the right person to market our property. Best wishes,
