Our Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being excellent real estate professionals - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how we work.
That said, in my experience as a real estate professional specializing in homes for sale in Holly Springs, Apex, Cary, Fuquay Varina and Raleigh, NC, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting our clients first. This means being accessible, being good listeners and good communicators, and responding quickly to your needs. We also utilize the newest technologies to support our Home Buyers and Home Sellers!
Mimi Francis, Lead Agent
Thanks for visiting our site - we're glad you stopped by! I'm married to a Wake County school teacher and we have 3 terrific kids, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a horse (!) We live in Apex, my office is in Cary, and we have owned houses in Holly Springs, Apex, Fuquay Varina and Raleigh, too. My education includes 2 undergraduate degrees, an MBA in Finance, and I was one of the first Realtors in NC to be awarded the Certified Negotiation Expert and the Strategic Pricing Specialist designations. I'm currently working on the Internet Marketing Specialist Designation for real estate agents, too. Prior to moving to North Carolina in 2003 to be closer to my elderly parents, we lived in Ohio, Massachusetts, New Jersey and California.
Rebecca Stephenson, Contracts & Listing Coordinator
I joined Mimi's team in mid 2010. I was really impressed that her business was growing so fast even during the worst of the housing downturn. And we've been busy ever since! My background includes 20+ years managing a large, family run business in Garner and I have been in the real estate business since 2006. I'm a native (many generations) North Carolinian and have lived in the Garner area. I'll help you with promoting your home for sale on Realtor.com, Craigslist, Zillow, Trulia and other home buying sites on the web. And, when you're Under Contract to buy or sell a home, I'll keep all the players and processes lined up for a smooth transaction. I'm looking forward to working with you!
Hailey Maroncelli, Broker
I'm passionate about this living in the Triangle area of NC! My family has been involved in real estate for years so it was natural for me to choose this career path. I’m familiar with buying homes for families, buying investment or rental homes and flipping houses: I love the endless possibilities that home-ownership provides and the rewards that it can bring to my clients!
As a member of the Francis Home Team, I represent buyers during one of the most exciting times in their lives. I enjoy helping to find that ONE home that will fulfill their dreams! By working with Mimi Francis at the Francis Home Team, we are able to provide the broadest range of services for our home buyers and home sellers.
I grew up in North Carolina and have lived in Garner, Hickory and Raleigh, NC. My husband I bought our home in Raleigh where we raise our two beautiful children.
I attended Montana State University and Liberty University in VA. I graduated with a BS in Mathematics Education and Multidisciplinary studies. Like Mimi – I can work the numbers for my home buyers!
So when you decide that you'd like to buy a home in Apex, sell a house in Cary or search all MLS listings for Raleigh, Fuquay Varina or Morrisville, NC, or, if you'd like help outside the Triangle Area, I'm happy to connect you with my network of expert agents across the United States and Canada!
