Brian Franzen - The Franzen Group Reviews

First-time homebuyers need more than someone to help them find a house, they need a real estate agent who will educate them, answer questions, and help them feel comfortable making big decisions. That's what I appreciated about working with The Franzen Team in Northern Colorado. We had the pleasure of working with Brian on our first-time homebuyer's purchase of their new home in Johnstown, Colorado. He took the time to support the buyer throughout the process, had a lot of patience, and it made for a great experience from the lending side. Cheers!

Thanks, Seth! We definitely had a few twists and turns on the way to finding the right house, and I’m grateful you guys trusted me to advocate for you through all of it. In the end, I think we landed exactly where we were supposed to — with a great house and a great deal to go with it.

It was a lot of fun getting to be part of your first home purchase. Thanks for the kind words and recommendation!

Best,
Brian

Brian and his team (Sam is also fun to chat with!) were super helpful in getting my house sold above asking price and in super fast time, Feb 2026 when the market was supposed to be slow! Very easy to work with and very knowledgeable of the Greeley and North Colorado market! I firmly believe his knowledge of the local market and marketing plan helped to get my house sold in super fast time with maximum benefit to me! The Franzen Group only gets 5 stars as google won't let me give 11!

Hey Ivan! Thank you so much for this — 11 stars?! We’ll take them! 😂

We loved getting to work with you! February may have been “supposed” to be slow, but your house certainly didn’t get the memo. It was such a great reminder that you can’t always time the market, but having the right plan, strategy, and marketing behind a home absolutely matters.

And Sam is especially pleased to receive official recognition for being fun to chat with. 😉

Thank you again for trusting us with your home. We truly appreciate you!

Best,
Brian (and Sam 😜)

In a down market, Brian was able to sell our home at asking price in under 60 days—in a neighborhood where many existing homes are competing with new builds. We were thrilled. When the initial listing photos were taken, Brian agreed with us that while they were good, they didn’t fully capture the essence of our home. He immediately had new photos taken, which made a huge difference. Brian worked incredibly hard throughout the process, hustling every day and generating 40 showings for our home. We’re so happy with the outcome that we’re now using him to sell our second home in the area. I would 100% recommend Brian.

Hey Staci! Thank you so much for the kind words. This really means a lot.

Every home is different, and my goal is always to make sure we're putting our best foot forward. Sometimes that means making adjustments along the way, and I truly believe it's worth taking the extra time to get it right.

I'm so glad we were able to get your home sold, but more than anything, I appreciate the trust you placed in me—not once, but now with a second home as well. That means more than you know.

Thanks again for the recommendation. I can't wait to help get this next one across the finish line!

The Franzen Group goes above and beyond to help their clients to the buying/selling finish line. Brian always went out of his way to make us feel seen, heard, and understood. We felt like we had someone on our team throughout the whole process, and who really is looking out for your best interest - which was very nice because we were doing a lot of our work out of state. Plus...their client candles are amazing - best candle I have ever owned.

Hey Bridget! Thank you so much for this. It really means a lot.

Buying and selling a home is a big deal, and I never want my clients to feel like they're figuring it out on their own. Especially with you being out of state for so much of the process, I'm really glad we could help make things feel a little easier and keep everything moving forward.

And the candle...you know who gets the credit for that one. 😉 I'll be sure to pass the compliment along!

Thanks again for trusting me and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

Brian takes as long as you need to find a house. We looked at so many houses and were indecisive for a variety of reasons he never quit being helpful. We have used his services several times and you can't go wrong with Brain

"I can't say enough about Brian Franzen at The Franzen Group for his professionalism, his personal attention and his commitment. When I was considering moving, Brian took me seriously, helped determine my needs, and pin-point properties that described my wants. Well, he nailed it; from the first meeting to the final close, Brian showed me excellent homes in my price range, took my calls and questions immediately, and walked me through all the paperwork, closing, and beyond. I used him again on another project and had the same excellent experience! I highly recommended Brian Franzen to anyone in the market. His integrity and excellence are beyond reproach.

Hey Deirdre!
What a fun review to read. Thank you!

Getting to help you not once, but twice has been pretty special. I always appreciate clients who ask great questions and stay engaged through the process—it makes my job a lot of fun.

I'm really glad you felt supported from start to finish. That's always the goal. Buying a home comes with enough unknowns, so if I can make things feel a little more manageable, I feel like I've done my job.

Thanks again for trusting me over the years. I hope you're doing great!

Hey Randy! This one made me smile.

We've known each other for a long time, so hearing this from you is pretty special. Thanks for trusting me to help you through the sale.

I've always believed that buying or selling a home doesn't have to feel overwhelming. If I can take some of that weight off my clients and make the process feel a little easier, then I've done what I set out to do.

Thanks again, Randy. Hope we can catch up soon.

Brian Franzen made my wife and I’s first-time home buying experience AMAZING. He took the stress out of the process and explained every step of the process to us in detail. Brian took a lot of time to get us into a home that we would be happy with. We will be using him again when the time comes to get into a new house and selling our current house. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would.

Hey Lukas! This was awesome to read. Thank you!

Getting to help someone buy their first home is something I'll never take for granted. There are a lot of moving pieces, and plenty of questions along the way, so I'm really glad you felt informed and comfortable throughout the process.

You guys were great to work with, and I hope you've made a lot of great memories in your home already.

Thanks again for the recommendation. If you two ever need anything, you know where to find me!

Hey Denise! Thank you!

I love that you mentioned listening because that's where I think the whole process starts. The right home looks different for everyone, so taking the time to understand what matters most is always worth it.

It was a pleasure getting to work with you, and I'm so glad we found a home that was the right fit. Hope you're doing great!

To whom this may concern- WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS MOVE WITHOUT BRIAN. Reason being that We needed to move back to Greeley from Ault. Brian was able to get our house under contract in just 9 days!! Plus it sold for more than we could ever have hoped for! At first I thought he was crazy for ever asking that much, but we had to TRUST that he would come through and he DID. Then he helped us find our next dream home ! This house checked all the boxes and then some.! We had a minor glitch with the plumbing after moving in but Brian had someone at our door within the hour. We have bought a few homes in our life time but nothing compares to the blessing of this experience. If you have trust issues like I do than you NEED to call Brian. His Honesty, Patience, humor and respect has been abundantly appreciated.

Hey Tina! 😊 This one definitely made me smile.

I still laugh thinking about our conversations on pricing. I'm glad you trusted me, even when you thought I might've been just a little crazy! It all worked out exactly the way we were hoping.

Getting to help you sell your home, find the next one, and then be there after closing is what this job is all about. Buying a home doesn't end the day you get the keys, and I'm always happy to help however I can.

Thank you for such an incredibly kind review. You guys were an absolute joy to work with, and I'm so thankful I got to be a small part of this next chapter. Give me a call anytime—you know I'm always here if you need me!

We’ve worked with Brian Franzen on four different real estate transactions over the past several years as we gradually sold off our rental properties. He has been a true professional throughout the process. He recently helped us sell our final investment property & close this chapter so we could officially retire. Brian works hard for his clients & takes time to know & understand their goals. He ensured that we got the best deal, without unnecessary concessions or setbacks & a smooth path to closing. When things popped up (and they always do), he communicated with us & gave us his best recommendation for a solution. He made sure everything moved forward toward closing & went above & beyond every step of the way. If you’re looking for a Northern Colorado Realtor who knows how to manage investment properties, navigate the market & get results, Brian is your guy. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Karen

Hey Karen! Thank you for such a thoughtful review.

It's been pretty special getting to help with each of these transactions over the years, and I know closing on that last investment property was a big milestone. I'm so glad everything came together and that you can officially enjoy retirement!

I really appreciate you trusting me through every step of the process. My goal has always been to keep things moving, communicate well, and help my clients make decisions they feel good about—and I'm glad that's exactly how you experienced it.

Congratulations again on closing this chapter. I couldn't be happier for you both.
