If i could give more than 5 stars, i would, because Johnel Franks is truly phenomenal real estate agent, he knows how to put a deal together. What most new real estate investors don't realize is that your agent can make or break your purchase. Staten Island is a small city; most realtors know one another and judge seller/buyer by the agent representing them. in our case, Mr Franks was the key reason we were able to score a major deal with our new investment property in SI. The seller told us flat out that the only reason he went into contract with us was because of Johnels reputation. All in all, Johnel has a lot of integrity, and was always honest, responsive and diligent. I wouldn't recommend anyone else looking to buy real estate in SI, investor or otherwise. Johnel is the best of the best.
