Fantastic experience: Professional, knowledgeable, very helpful, excellent communication through the entire process. . Francine was one of the best agents I have ever worked with. More than helpful at every step and excellent communication.
Fred, thanks so much! It was an honor to help you find the house.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking to buy a home near Orange Beach or Baldwin co Al. Francine Carstensen is the only realtor you will need. If you give her a chance you will understand why I give her 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Francine Carstensen was by far the hardest working, most persistent and dedicated Realtor I could have chosen to help sell my home. Having worked with her as a local builder representative I knew she was the automatic choice and I had many Realtors I could have chosen since I worked on the selling side as a builders sales consultant. She’s not afraid to call potential buyers, other buyers agents and consistently marketing your home to make it appealing to potential buyers. Give her a call and she’ll respond right away - Thanks Francine for selling my beautiful home and helping me get closer to my family!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Gaye! You were by far one of the very best clients I could ever have the privilege of selling a gorgeous home!

Congratulations on your new home — we appreciate your recommendation. If you need anything else or know someone needing a realtor, we're here to help.
Fantastic experience: Francine has been so much more than our realtor—she’s become family to us. She helped us buy our first home five years ago and was there for us again when it was time to sell. Throughout both experiences, she was knowledgeable, patient, caring, and always had our best interests at heart. We truly couldn’t have asked for someone better to guide us through such important moments in our lives. And of course, it doesn’t hurt that we share a love for Boston Terriers! ❤️ We are incredibly grateful for Francine and everything she has done for our family. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients and treats them like family!

Fantastic experience: We are so incredibly grateful to have had such an amazing real estate agent by our side through two very important chapters of our lives.

Francine has been so much more than a real estate agent to us. Her kindness, patience, knowledge, and genuine care made us feel supported every step of the way. From helping us find our first home to helping us close that chapter five years later, she has been there for us through it all. We will always be grateful for her and the role she played in these important milestones. We truly couldn’t recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: We recently purchased a new construction home in Foley Alabama and worked with Francine throughout the process. From the very beginning, she explained how buying new construction works, helped us understand the builder contract, and guided us through each phase of the build. Francine came highly recommended from our previous realtor in Ohio. Communication was consistent and clear, and she stayed involved from the initial lot selection through closing. She helped us navigate design choices, timelines, inspections, and the final walkthrough, making the entire process feel organized and manageable. If you are considering a newly built home and want knowledgeable guidance and strong representation, working with Francine made a meaningful difference in our experience. "

Fantastic experience: Not an easy Easement . We could not be happier with Francine and her resolution of a sticky easement issue that resulted in the sale of our property! Right after her initial contact with us I checked her reviews and was very impressed. She did not disappoint. Professional, friendly and in close contact to keep us informed of the process. We give her the highest rating and feel you will receive the same customer service for your real estate needs!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Rock. I’m thrilled we could resolve the easement issue and help get your property sold. It was a pleasure working with you, and I appreciate your trust and kind words. Please reach out anytime for future real estate needs.
Fantastic experience: The best and easiest experience! Francine made what we thought was impossible happen. . Francine went above and beyond to get us the land of our dreams! This land wasn’t even listed on the market and she was able to get the owner info and get us under contract so quickly it was impressive!!! Honestly the entire process was so smooth and easy. She made it simple for us and we are so happy! Thank you Francine for going above and beyond for us!! :)
Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Ashley. I am always truly honored when a client reaches out to me to help them again, so thank you for letting me be part of this journey!
Fantastic experience: Francine really made the sale of our home a pleasant experience! . Francine is a real go-getter! She made a professional video of our home and a book that contained all the necessary information to present our home. She had a buyer exactly one week after going on market! She kept us updated on the necessary steps to complete the sale and closed 4 weeks after we accepted the offer. I would highly recommend her for anyone selling their home. She's excellent at marketing and pays attention to detail. Very pleasant to work with!
Thank you Cathie and David! Y’all were a pleasure to work with and I am so glad I was able to get it sold!

Thanks Brent! It's always a pleasure to help you buy or sell a new property - I love my investors!
Fantastic experience: It’s hard to put into words how much Francine has blessed our family but I will try! We first met Francine when my husband and I were out looking at pieces of land in Elberta. We just went through Zillow and were in touch with another realtor, but for whatever reason they couldn’t meet us at the property we wanted to view. No biggie, we just toured it ourselves. Then we went to a different property that we didn’t like as much, but Francine was the listing agent and she met us there bc she was in the area. We IMMEDIATELY loved Francine! I remember saying “hey we don’t like this property, but we really like you, can you help us find something?” From then on out, Francine was our GO TO! We found a property that we loved and with Francine’s expertise, even though we were inexperienced in land buying, we were able to get all of the imperative land/soil testing done and close within a month. Being heavily pregnant at the time, we knew that there was a possibility that we could go into labor before close so Francine adjusted the closing date. To our surprise we had our little guy early and Francine adjusted our close date so that we could sign when we left the hospital and made the whole process super easy!!! She even had gifts for us and our new baby and hugs waiting for us in the closing room (and snacks, seriously the best ever). That was transaction #1! Transaction #2 and #3 came a few months later when we decided to combine property and home and buy a bigger house with land in fairhope. Within a month, our home was ready and listed, our property was under contract (for significantly more than what it was purchased for, I may add) and we had the offer we needed on our home! When I say when you work with Francine, she gets it DONE…she gets it DONE. Period! She even advised us on little fixes when getting our home ready to make our home marketable to all buyers, including VA loans. Then, transaction #4 came and let me tell you, this was definitely our toughest. Without Francine, it probably wouldn’t have happened. Francine found us a gorgeous home in Fairhope on 2 acres in our budget. A miracle! But the process was complicated with an emotional, irrational seller that forced poor Francine to play middle man and talk us off a ledge multiple times lol. She gave us recommendations for what to look for in inspections and really helped us make an informed decision and fight for what we needed in the buying process. Because of Francine’s incredible leg work and determination, we were able to close on our dream home and begin our homesteading journey! Our final transaction with Francine, #5, has been so bittersweet but nothing short of our smoothest transaction yet. Due to relocating for my husbands new job out of state, we had to sell our home in FH. We had done a lot of work to our home, including adding a whole workshop, etc so we needed to make a certain amount to get out the money we had invested. We told Francine the number we needed, she didn’t even bat an eye and got to work. Within three weeks, our homes pictures were done, home listed, open house complete with crazy traffic, and we received a full price offer within FOUR DAYS. Four days!! Yall. When I tell you Francine is the best realtor you will ever encounter and if we could take her with us if we could, I MEAN it. She performs miracles and has been an absolute blessing to my family and if you let her, she will be to yours too! From sticking with us through all of our crazy transactions over the years to shushing my baby during closing so that a mama can focus on what she’s signing (if you know, you know) I cannot say enough good things about her. I am ashamed that this is the first review I’m writing for her, I could seriously write ten more! Work with Francine — you will not regret it and you may even gain a lifelong friend! Even as we’re leaving, she’s interviewing realtors in GA for us to make sure we’re taken care of and picked up our mail that we left behind in FH….1637376/10 recommend!!! ❤️
What an awesome review, thank you so much. It has been truly an honor working with you, and while I am sad that you have left the area, I know theres a reason it happened.♥️
Fantastic experience: Excellent agent. Francine did an amazing job of walking us through the purchase of our home. We live out of town so she was able to connect us with the right people to get all of our needs met and actually ready to close earlier than expected. Not only is she an amazing agent but I feel like I made a friend as well.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Francine provided such exceptional service and support during your home purchase. Building relationships with our clients is important to us, and it’s great to know you felt that connection. We wish you all the best in your new home!
Fantastic experience: Francine was great! Put the sign up on our property and it sold all within a week. She was very communicative during the entire process. I’ll definitely use her again when I buy more property! Thanks again Francine!
Thank you for your fantastic review, Drew! We're glad to hear that Francine provided exceptional service and helped sell your property quickly. We appreciate your trust in us and look forward to assisting you with future real estate ventures. Your satisfaction is our priority!
Fantastic experience: I worked with Francine Carstensen to sell my condo in Orange Beach Al. She helped me find my unit over 3 years ago and she helped me sell it. I can’t recommend her highly enough. From day one, she was incredibly responsive, patient with all my questions, and deeply knowledgeable about the local market. Francine walked me through every step of the process, from finding listings that matched my preferences to negotiating a great deal on a condo I truly love. What impressed me most was her honesty and genuine interest in helping me find the right home—not just any sale. My closings each time was a great experience. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is trustworthy, proactive, and truly on your side, Francine is the one!
Cindy, thank you for letting me help you find this amazing beach condo. I hope you enjoy many years of vacation and success with this rental!
Fantastic experience: I am writing to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Francine as our Realtor. From our first conversation on the phone, she impressed us with her knowledge and enthusiasm. Throughout the process she demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the market. She provided us with in-depth information about the local market to help us make the perfect selection for our new home. Once we purchased a new home, she was there again, to help us sell our old home. She was always available and prompt in responding to any of our phone calls. When we needed to have something fixed on the house prior to the sale, she had contacts that she recommended that we’re quick to respond and exceptional people in their fields. so whether you’re looking to buy or sell a house, Francine should be your go to Realtor
Thanks Tracy! It is always a pleasure to serve my buyers and sellers and y'all were so much fun to work with!

Thank you for your kind words, Lauren! We're thrilled to hear that you find Francine knowledgeable and that you trust her to guide others in their buying journey. Your recommendations mean a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: Francine is amazingly patient and attentive to details. She is knowledgeable and protective of clients- helping anticipate any red flags or obstacles. I felt that she really listened to what we were looking for and did not try to rush us into a decision. She offered great insight as we searched, but stayed neutral with her input/ opinions, which helped us weigh pros and cons of each house we viewed. I am so thankful for her assistance as we purchased our new home.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Sissy! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Francine. Her dedication to her clients is truly commendable, and we're glad she could assist you in finding your new home. Your satisfaction means the world to us!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Brian! We're thrilled to hear that you had a smooth home buying experience with Francine. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate your trust in our services!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Francine if you are in search for a realtor who will go above and beyond to help you find your dream home! When we moved to the area, we came from Indiana and didn't know where to begin to look for a new home. We met Francine at an open house and were immediately impressed. She was very knowledgeable, personable, truthful and didn't pressure us to make any decisions. Anytime we wanted to look at a home, she would respond immediately and have the showing set up right away. We looked at several homes together but didn't have any luck finding a home to accommodate our big family. Then we started looking for options to build a home. Together, we found the perfect lot and builder to build our home. She was there every step of the way to advocate for us as the building process moved forward. She helped us anytime we had questions or concerns during the build. The closing went smoothly and she gave us a super helpful binder full of information we needed to have for our home. I can't say enough positive things about Francine! She is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with!
Thanks Jennifer. It was a pleasure helping your family find your beautiful home and letting me be part of finding your sweet home Alabama!
Fantastic experience: Francine is a diamond in the rough!! She persevered and overcame every obstacle to help our family find the perfect home during an imperfect time of this crazy market. Our journey started back in 2021 while my husband and I were pregnant with our first child and as many obstacles presented themselves, Francine continued on the journey with us to find the perfect home. Her knowledge and expertise helped guide us on our home buying decisions. She was an advocate for us during the process and continues to be a phone call away when needed. We highly recommend Francine Carstensen for all of your Real-estate needs in Baldwin County.
Thank you so much Tiffany! It was such a pleasure to finally find y'all the perfect home. I'm so happy you ended up with such an amazing home and thank you so much for the opportunity!
Fantastic experience: The most courteous and professional realtor I have ever done business with. Always answered my phone calls. If I left a message my call was returned quickly. Any questions I had were answered, if Francine wasn't sure she got the information quickly. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly professional and helpful realtor. Miller Rehm
Thank you Miller! It was truly a pleasure helping you sell your home!

I am very thankful I found her to work with and look forward to making more investments with her in the future!
Thank you Jerrod! Always appreciate having a first time homebuyer like you trust me with this very important purchase decision! I'm so glad we found your Sweet Home Alabama!!

Thanks John! You and Andrea are in the "my favorite clients" circle!
Fantastic experience: Francine is an extremely personable and professional real estate agent. We worked with her recently to sell our home and she went over and above in helping us get the house in selling condition. I would recommend her to anyone trying to sell their property. She knows what people want and gets the job done. Three other homes in our development hit the market within a few months of ours and ours, so far, has been the only one purchased. Francine definitely knows what she is doing. Thanks Francine!
Thank you Taylor!
Fantastic experience: This realtor is 5 stars. She hustled from house to house with us ( we are kind of demanding )until we found the right neighborhood; she even kept us out of neighborhoods we kept vearing towards because she knew we would be unhappy with them later. That’s a realtor who knows what the buyers want and cares about how we are going to feel after we buy it. We are using her again to sell the house we are moving from because we know she’ll work to get what we need from that one too.
Thank you Toni Marie! Helping y’all was so much fun!!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve known Francine for several years. Being in the title business I get to see firsthand how she conducts her business. She’s on top of every aspect of the transaction and no small detail is missed. She always has a smile on her face and is a joy to work with. I hope that we get to work many transactions together in the future.
Thank you Brien! Y’all are amazing partners to work with!
Fantastic experience: Bought our first new build home August of 2023 with the help of Francine Carstensen. She was by far the sweetest, most informative, and compassionate realtor that we had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend her for your next home buying experience .
Emily helping you and Cory get settled here was such a privilege! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Francine goes above and beyond for every client. I’ve had the privilege of working with her for not only myself but with family as well. She got my in laws into a brand new home when we didn’t think it was even possible. We had family move from another state and she was amazing during that process. She got them into a brand new home as well. There’s no better realtor for you than her. I most certainly think of her as a friend now.
Tabatha, that is the sweetest thing anyone could ever say! Thank you for entrusting me! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Wonderful realtor to work with . Honest and works well beyond expectations.
Debbie your home was so beautiful it was an honor to help you! I was sad to lose you as neighbors! ❤️

Melissa thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you! I am so glad you ended up in Alabama instead of Florida! ❤️
Fantastic experience: I could write a book on how amazing of a realtor she is! She spent 2 days driving us around (we were in from out of state) showing us anything that would meet our wants so that we felt confident in our decision...then she made sure every step was smooth until closing. She gave us a book at closing that had EVERYTHING we could possibly want or need to know about our new home and area...and a housewarming gift that was so thoughtful... To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement! I would highly recommend her for ANY Real Estate needs!
Angela, it was such a privilege helping you relocate here! ❤️
Fantastic experience: As REALTORS, our goal is to make every transaction a successful and happy experience for our buyers and sellers. Francine was the ultimate professional and a pleasure to work with on behalf of her buyers on my listing. She was very knowledgeable, communicative and always positive helping to make it a smooth closing. I look forward to working with her again in the future.
Thanks Mary Jane! It was a pleasure working with you too!

Elec thank you so much for the kind words!❤
Fantastic experience: Francine Carstensen is the best realtor we have ever worked with! My husband and I found our dream home and she went above and beyond to help us get it! She even got us a home warranty! She truly cares about her clients and spends so much time and effort into helping them get the house/property that they want. If you are ever buying or selling in Alabama, I highly recommend Francine! You will be so happy!!

Fantastic experience: Francine is one of the best realtors we know! Day or night she was there for us through out the whole process of finding the perfect home for our family. She is very knowledgeable with real estate. We will for sure be using her everytime for our buying or selling future needs.
Thanks Taylor! I hope when you move back I can find your next home too!❤
Fantastic experience: I am a mortgage loan advisor/originator and I work with a lot of real estate agents. Francine Carstensen is an absolute pro at what she does!! She genuinely cares about her clients and when I say she goes the extra mile I mean she goes 10 for her clients. Also as a mortgage professional when I work with Francine I know I will be able to provide the customer service I want to on the loan side because I know Francine is totally on top of the real estate side. That equals a smooth on time or early closing for our clients. I absolutely highly recommend Francine for any real estate moves you are making!!
Bart, working with you is such a privilege. I hope we get to work on many more deals together!
Fantastic experience: Francine is One in a Million!! As a former Realtor, I have a deep respect for all the work that goes into the sale of a home, and how the performance of the Realtor significantly affects the outcome, both in terms of profit, but more importantly, in peace of mind. Francine handled the long distance sale of my home better than I could have imagined and surpassed every agent I've ever known. She is the epitome of "value added" and "goes the extra mile". She responds immediately, knows EVERYONE, and volunteers to take care of all the messy details for you. Thank you Francine. You made the whole experience as smooth as possible for all of us, took our many calls with patience and helpful suggestions, and always had an upbeat, positive attitude. If I ever decide to purchase in Alabama again, you will be the ONLY person I will call.
Thank you for your kind words Sharon. It was such a pleasure helping you get this property sold! ❤
Fantastic experience: She went to bat for us from states away and was the hardest working realtor I've seen. Francine is ruthless in the best way, as she gets things done before they have a chance to become a large problem. She was fantastic during walk thrus and fueled by integrity for her job and career
Thank you Josh!
Fantastic experience: Francine was an absolute pleasure to work with. Buying a house from states away seems intimidating, but when your realtor is thorough, readily available at a moments notice, honest and values your opinion and budget it makes it so easy. We worked with Francine for over a year and I would trust her with any real estate transaction. 1000% recommend her, she's an absolute doll. We love our beach house.❤️
Keesha, working with you and Josh over the last two years has been an honor I am so glad we got you closer to the beach!
Fantastic experience: Francine keeps the positivity alive from start to finish! She is fully prepared to show you listings at a moment’s notice; even after “in contract”, if needed. Her patience is enormous & problem solving skills on point. Francine responds in a heartbeat & communicates thoroughly when in the thick of things. Networking is a huge strength of hers and we are happy to be in the matrix. Thank you Francine for helping us find our safe haven where all are thriving.
Christina, working with you and Daryl on this was such a pleasure. I'm so thankful you were my customers!
Fantastic experience: Francine was a pleasure to work with, she sold my brother’s home and he had such a wonderful experience that I called her as well. She works diligently for her clients best interest and is simply a joy. She has both the knowledge of what she is to do with a zeal to see it all through. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone.
Jonas, thank you for the honor and privilege of selling your home. I hope your family enjoys the new location and make sure you say hi when you come visit the family back here!
Fantastic experience: Francine is a fantastic realtor. She takes a consultative approach with her clients to understand what exactly they are looking for. She was at no point pushy nor did she rush my wife and I into a purchase. Her communication skills were second to none and her relationships within the industry made the home buying process easy and stress free. I would recommend her to anyone!
Thank you Jacob! It was a pleasure helping y’all purchase your home
Fantastic experience: There are not enough positive words to express my experience of having Francine as my realtor, but I'll try. From the very first conversation that she and I had, I immediately knew that I had made the right choice. Often many times in certain professions, the consultant is only interested in getting the sale and moving on to the next customer. With Francine, this was not the case at all. Not only was Francine a true professional, but she genuinely cared about what my needs and desires were. She was extremely patient as I tried to navigate this home buying process. She was always there to answer any questions or address any concerns that I had. Even after missing out on other homes that I was interested in, she was always upbeat and positive in reassuring me that we would find the perfect home for me and my family. During this process, there were many moments where I had a lot of anxiety, but Francine was there to calm the waters. The experience of having Francine as my realtor is one that I will remember for the rest of my life. My family and I will forever be grateful to her for the exceptional service that she gave. If I could rate her ten stars, then I would. Anyone who is in the market to purchase a home, I would STRONGLY recommend that they give Francine a call.
❤️Wade, it’s clients like you that make my job amazing!
Fantastic experience: Francine was amazing the whole time. This was my first time buying a home and there were a lot of things I was not aware of. Francine always had the answers and I never felt alone. I would recommend her to everyone.
Debra, I am so finally found you a home. It may have taken a while, but I'm so thankful you let me help you on this journey!
Fantastic experience: We recently moved to Fairhope and our daughter referred us to Francine. From out of state we sent her some homes and she was able to meet our adult kids that very day and show them the homes. Not only was she very knowledgeable of the area, she answered all our calls and texts, even our crazy facetime request. We highly recommend Francine to anyone interested in buying or selling a home.
Ralph, it was such a pleasure finding your home. I hope you enjoy many years in that gorgeous yard. Thanks for allowing me the privilege of being your realtor!
Fantastic experience: Francine is fabulous!! Made the process super easy! Always available to show us a million homes and find the perfect one! Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use again in the future
Ainsley, thanks for letting me help you on both sides of the deal! When you're ready for the next one, I hope you will call me!❤
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with our real estate transaction because of Francine's attention to detail and keeping us informed of everything that was going on with the seller and title agency. It was smooth sailing from start to finish. We met her at a open house and liked her right away. She listened to our situation and did everything a good real estate agent should do to keep things moving along. Our closing experience was a easy one-no problems! Thank you Francine for making this as easy as it could be!
Thank you Jeanette! I was so thankful we were able to find something that would work and be close to y’all!
Fantastic experience: As a real estate photographer, I work with a lot of real estate agents. Francine is by far one of the most professional of those. Her preparation to detail is outstanding. Francine understands my needs in photographing or video-graphing the property, which makes my job so much easier. If every shoot I had was prepared and prepped as well as Francine preps and prepares, I'd be very happy. I'd recommend Francine to any vendor working with real estate agents for property listings.
Thanks Stephen! It's always an honor to work with you!
Fantastic experience: Francine assisted with the sale of our condo - she was friendly, knowledgeable and provided support from offer through closing. We would definitely work with her again! Thank you Francine!
Thank you Robin! It was an honor to help y’all sell this property
Fantastic experience: Francine is amazing and we would highly recommend using her if you are in the market to buy or sell. She takes care of her clients and makes sure every detail is addressed. She helped us look for a place for over a year and never gave up or got frustrated. She doesn't try to push a place on you to get the sale but waits for you to find the perfect place.Once you do she gets right to work on getting it done.Thank You Francine for working so hard to make our dream come true.
Thanks Kim! Helping you and Chip build your dreams was such a treasure!
Fantastic experience: Francine Carstensen is extremely professional and thorough, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to working with clients in purchasing a home. Her patience and persistence certainly helped my husband and me to find the perfect home, as we were relocating from another state and knew very little of the area. She went above and beyond, providing walkthrough tours of homes, as well as, countless in-person visits and resources. She is such a pleasant person and agent to work with, really exceeding our expectations! Also, her energy and ready smile are unmatched! My husband and I were very pleased to have her as our real estate agent and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone seeking to sell or buy a home.
Nancy, it was such a privilege working with you and Joel. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Francine is a great real estate agent and has helped me purchase several homes. I really appreciate her hard work and dedication!
Thanks Philip!

Thank you Michelle!
Fantastic experience: Francine made my buying process a breeze. She was very professional and got the deal done quickly. She is wonderful to work with.
Thank you Kellie!
Fantastic experience: Francine works relentlessly and totally goes the extra mile! She is fun to work with, and pointed out important things to me that I wouldn’t have otherwise considered. She had a strong understanding of my “must haves,” and didn’t waste time showing me properties that I wasn’t interested in seeing. Highly recommend!
Thank you Megan!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Francine! We had a wonderful experience with her. She was at all times very professional and extremely helpful. If you want a realtor you can trust to put your interests first, choose Francine!
Thank you! I enjoyed working with you and your husband so much and hope I can help you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: Francine Carstensen is one of the BEST Realtors I have ever had the opportunity and pleasure to meet and work with during the process of finding the perfect location and the perfect home in the beautiful Gulf Coast of "Sweet Home Alabama". She went above and beyond ANY Realtor I have ever dealt with during my entire marriage and moving to different parts of this great United States of America. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to move to this area. You will NOT be disappointed in her caring, loving attitude toward her clients.
Thank you Rhonda!
