Working with Frances was a delight. She went out of her way to FaceTime with us as she walked a home or property. Her knowledge of the area helped us steer clear of some undesirable locations and choose the perfect home. She made the process of buying a home very easy - providing lists of what we needed to do and when; along with things to avoid.
She has extensive contacts in the area for any work that may need to be done to the home after closing. Everyone she has referred us to has been as nice and knowledgable and easy to work with.

Frances helped my parents sell their house on Ocean Isle Beach. She gave them good advise on how to price their house which allowed them to get a full price offer in less than a day. She was was very knowledgeable and helpful during the process and kept them informed along the way. I highly recommend using Frances Warner to buy or sell property on Ocean Isle Beach.

Given the low inventory on the Beaches and the competitive nature of securing a Contract to Purchase, I. am convinced that we would not have been successful in purchasing our Beach Home if it were not for Frances.
Her knowledge and responsiveness made all of the difference in securing our new home at Ocean Isle.

Our experience with Francis Warner was excellent. She is very knowledgeable in her field with great negotiating skills.
She was always quick to respond to our phone calls and did a terrific job marketing our home and the listing pictures of our home were very impressive. Don't be afraid to give her a call, she got us more for our home than the other realtors we interviewed told us we could get.
She also has an excellent office staff team working with her. They were always helpful and pleasant to deal with.

I interviewed and tested a number of realtors to sell our small vacation home, and had no hesitation to select Frances. Her actual performance was stellar, above even the highest expectations. She has a suburb staff, an extensive database of potential buyers, a grasp of techniques for attracting buyers, is technically alert and always available.
On top of that, she is warm, funny and a joy to deal with. An outstanding experience!

Kathy Trimble listed and sold our property in Sunset Beach, NC. She was very knowledgeable and kept up us updated in the progress of selling. We had an issue come up with the property and Kathy offered to meet with a person who came to look at it and helped get the issue resolved without me driving five hours. If i ever am in the market for property in Brunswick County, Kathy is the person I will call.

Frances did an excellent job in selling our beach condo.

Simply put, Frances is the best realtor we've ever worked with on both sides of the buy/sell process. We bought the unit from Frances in 2007. She stayed in contact with us over the years. As a result of her efforts we decided to use her services again when we made the decision to sell this year.

My husband and I decided it was time to look for a retirement home in the Calabash area. We found Kathy Trimble and her office through an internet search.
We were in New York and Kathy was in NC, but we were able to narrow our search from listings she sent. We finally met in August & toured many homes. Kathy was so knowledgeable about the area and the market. She was always available for a phone call or text. We found her very warm with a great sense of humor.
We visited one more time in October and put in an offer. She was very helpful with all the paperwork and next steps.
We closed on our new home right before Thanksgiving and Kathy came with us and was very helpful.
We were very pleased with the whole experience, Kathy really made the process painless and we look forward to seeing her again when we move down.

Frances has sold two properties for me in the last 10 months and each closed in a minimum amount of time. She is a tireless worker, very intelligent, and is very ethical. I recently referred a close friend to her and she also sold his property immediately. If I have any real estate needs or if I know of any friend that does we will call her.

I originally approached Frances about 6 months ago to discuss the market for renting vs owning. She gave me some keen insight. 6 months later I decided to list and we reconnected.... she referred to her notes from our original conversation immediately and I knew she was a PRO! She is responsive, collaborative, and knowledgeable. This was my sixth real estate transaction and she is the best!!!

This is the second time we have used Frances in the selling of our home. From start to finish she was very responsive, candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. She was extremely responsive to every one of our questions, no matter how small. We knew as we moved forward with buying a new house we wanted to partner with her again and have her help navigate us in the right direction. She is truly the best. She knows how to get the job done.

Great agent to have on your side. Was with me every step of the way and the communication was great. Even checked on the house right after a hurricane went to make sure it had survived. Had a email after the contract was signed that explained all the steps necessary for closing. Worked hard to get the deal closed after a couple issues poped up last minute. Would definitely use her again.

Also, she has a wonderful office staff who helped keep up with all of the details associated with selling a high-end, oceanfront property.

We were lucky to find Frances Warner when we began the process of selling our rental property! She worked for us from Day 1 until the final document was signed, and beyond! Frances is a top producer on the island & it is easy to understand why given her responsiveness, professionalism and work ethic. We were able to close on our sale in less than 90 days after listing with Frances. Highly recommend!

The most agonizing and stressful experience we have ever had in selling a home
Doesn't Listen!
Ignores criticism, doesn't apologize for mistakes
Does NOT work in the customers interest
Primary concern is maintainence of a high sales record
This is just a taste of the 90 day ordeal
Read ratings on OIB Coldwell Banker site
We didn't and we paid dearly
Wow - I have had 84 reviews with 5 stars (one review with 4.5 stars) and out of all of these reviews, I have this one with a rating of "one". As we all know, you can't please everyone!! I believe my sales record shows that I am doing something right. I wish these clients the best as they move on to the next chapter of their life. My reviews below speak for my record.

Frances was consistently updating us on all matters. The house was shown almost every day, sometimes more than once a day. She is very personable and caring.; we felt that she was working for us as a friend. The final sale price was exactly as she predicted. Working with her selling our fifty year old beach house was a pleasure.
