I struggled for years.

Frank,
I wanted to let you know how blessed I am to have worked with you on my short sale.
I struggled for years to save my home but as a single mom and my company of 12 years shutting down I could not do it. I wanted to leave that memory behind and never look back. Someone told me to try the short sale but who would I call to even start this process? I wasn’t going to make much effort because I was already tired of dealing with the banks and mortgage companies. Well, Tom Martino’s trusted website was my first stop and my phone call to you was my last stop. I immediately felt that you were honest, knowledgeable and caring.

I’m not sure how you did it, but within about 3 months you sold my home! My county for about a year or two had the highest foreclosure rate in the state of Colorado. I’ve seen similar properties sit for years and I’ve heard from so many people that their agents could not work things out with the mortgage companies. You did! You already have a great report with so many professionals in that industry and along with your ethics you were able to make the transaction.

Frank, you were my rock. You seem to have an even balance of knowing hardship, struggles, and worries but are still able to guide, strengthen, and give encouragement. Your knowledge and your expertise in the real estate industry gave me the upmost confidence in your ability to handle the sale. Things came up and I worried, you were right there. I never had to wait around for a return phone call, you were always available and checked in often to answer questions and update me. I could go on and on about the amazing service you provided me. I would highly and have already started recommending your services.

With Love and Many Blessings,

Frank did an excellent job!

Frank did an excellent job! Within 6 ½ weeks of putting my house up for sale, I was signing papers at closing. Frank is extremely knowledgeable of the market, hard-working, friendly, and professional. He was in contact with me on a regularly basis, available for any questions I had, and made me feel comfortable with all the steps required after the house was placed Under Contract. I couldn’t have been more pleased with how he handled all details of the sale. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I’ve already starting doing so with my friends!

Frank cares about his customers!

Our realtor Frank Duran was great! Buying or selling is a very stressful process. So many things could go wrong. But we had so much peace knowing that Frank was our agent. His very personable and professional approach took the worry out of everything. I had to have asked Frank about a thousand and one questions, but he always took the time to "listen" to me and answer my questions. Although Frank works with several clients at a time, I always felt like I was his only client. Frank always paid such close attention to detail. I feel that Frank had my best interest in mind from start to finish. It's obvious that Frank really cares about his customers. He took good care of me and he is obviously very good at what he does. If you give Frank the opportunity, I know he will do the same for you! God bless you Frank and your future success!!

Exceptional service

I am writing in regards to the exceptional service I received from Frank Duran. With my limited experience in purchasing a home, Frank exceeded my expectations. He was professional, very knowledgeable, personable; and above all else, his integrity was evident in all he did. Thank you Frank!

Hard persistance

Our home was listed with another real estate agent for more than 6 months, we never had an offer and very few showings. We decided that it was time to change realtor. We hired Frank Duran and ever since we had excellent service and very hard persistance in selling my home. He negotiated with both mortgage and second mortgage to saved my home from foreclosure and sold it on time. It was a pleasure working with Frank he always kept us informed on every detail that went on with the selling of the home. We had always had excellent service from Frank. We will recommend him to our family and friends.


Thank you so much for avoiding foreclosure on my home.

Extremely difficult market,

I was forced into selling my house in an extremely difficult market,
and at a large loss on top of that. Yet in spite of that I am
completely satisfied that you did everything possible to get the best
value for me in the sale. Your dedication to bringing in customers
and ensuring everything goes smoothly was very reassuring. Thank you
for helping me make the best of a bad situation.

We love Frank Duran

Brent & Stephanie from Westminster, Colorado

Frank,
Brent and I cannot stress THANK YOU enough. We've put together a special "we love Frank Duran" box that includes a little coffee we had sent from Germany (to keep you fired up, of course), as well as a couple of other goodies.

The house saga has been a long one as you are aware. Prior to working with you we felt that we were nothing more than doomed slaves to the market that real estate has now become. Needless to say, the last two years have been a serious financial disaster. When I finally made the move to sell the house I knew it was a gamble - the market had not improved and if it didn't sell, we were going to be that much further in the hole.

However, when you arrived, professional and polite, I was willing to take a leap of faith and trust you as so many of your other clients have in the past.

Now, here in the final stretch I have to say that you've far surpassed anything I would have ever expected from you. Not only did you get us showings, but you got us A LOT of showings, and with that came a fruitful buyer. I cannot even begin to express the amount of gratitude we feel. You haven't just sold our house...you have given us back a savings account, birthdays, Christmas's and vacations - simple luxuries that we haven't shared together for a very long time.

It's tough to think that we could actually thank you enough for something like that - the "we love Frank Duran" box we put together seems a little paltry compared to the feat that you have achieved - like a lighthouse resilient against the crashing waves of an unforgiving sea, you've stood, resolute in an unforgiving market and demanded compliance.

You've sold our house and we appreciate everything you've done - from the late night phone calls to the tough negotiations, it's something we'll never forget. Should my job bring us back to Denver, you can expect a phone call back from us... we'll probably be in the market for an impressive realtor.

Take care and God bless. Thanks!!!

Much commitment

Kathy S from Parker, Colorado

I truly believe that no other real estate Agent could have done a better job or would have shown as much commitment as Frank did in selling a home for my sister who now lives in Missouri. My husband had used Frank to sell his townhouse after we were married and he was very impressed with Frank’s professional approach, knowledge of the market and proactive selling techniques. When my sister had to evict a tenant from her previous home here in Colorado she was very distraught and concerned about how she could possibly handle selling the property without having to make repeated trips to Colorado. She was also “upside down” on the property and needed to minimize the amount of money that she would have to pay at closing. My husband suggested that she enlist Frank’s assistance in selling the property. Frank went out of his way to coordinate all aspects of the sale remotely and assisted her with many of the small details that could have been overlooked given her inability to be on site. Frank consistently went the extra mile to assure that all of the financial elements were addressed and that the sale was completed to her satisfaction. Frank has a very positive and caring attitude that makes it a pleasure to work with him particularly in difficult situations. We have already recommended him to other friends and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again ourselves.

16 years now.

We have been on the go recently, but I wanted to get back to you and let you know that I really appreciated your effort, honesty, communication, and strong committment to sell our home in Arvada. It has always been a comfort to go to Tom Martino's list of referrals when locating honest and reliable resources. We certainly were pleased to find your name on that list and were not disappointed in your service. In today's market, I believe the turn around time was great; you listed and sold the house 42 days, always with our best interest as top priority. Thank you so much, it was truly a pleasant experience and so easy for us. I wish you only the best in your personal and professional endeavors. Chet and Penny
