What They're Saying About DFWCityhomes


Testimonials from clients of DFWCityhomes. Prominent Clients give reviews:


"Tod is very knowledgeable and professional. My wife and I interviewed over 6 agents before chosing DFWCITYHOMES. Tod understood the challenges we were facing, due to foreclosures in the neighborhood and the current real estate market. We followed Tod's advice and sold our home in less then 90 days - current DOM in our area was minimum 180!!! Tod's help to us was invaluable. If you are looking for a knowledgable, professional, get the job done agent then Tod is your guy. He will walk with you every step of the way. Tod, was there to answer any questions and the process was very easy. I have seen offers like this, but the personal service that Tod provides is exceptional."

Kenny and Tanika Donnell - Cedar Hill, Texas



"Although there are many realtors out there offering flat fee listings I doubt there are any who could (or would) offer the level of service that Tod did during our extremely challenging transaction. Whether it was late night calls/emails or dealing with an incredibly difficult and unreasonable buyers agent I always felt like I got a level of service equal to a full service listing. In fact, having listed twice before with full service agents, I might even say Tod\'s service was better than theirs. Thank you Tod, not sure we could have made it through closing without you."

Stuart and Connie Oertli - Keller, Texas



"Tod provided our family an invaluable service in helping to sell our home. He was professional, polite and efficient. The pictures of our home that went on the Internet were outstanding. Tod provided us great information and was an advocate for us during the actual selling of our home. Our house started showing immediately and sold in just under two months. Here is the kicker to all of this- we saved thousands of dollars by using Tod\'s company instead of a traditional real estate agent! Thanks Tod for everything!"

Tyler and Amy Anderson - Rockwall, Texas



"In this real estate market, my husband and I were struggling with the profit that we would not make on the sale of our home after paying real estate agent fees. We decided to list our home with Tod at DFWCityHomes after only a Google search for MLS listing services. I am so glad that we did! We had a contract on our home in 9 days to another family who was working without a realtor, saving us nearly $20,000. Tod was quick to get our home on the market, very knowledgeable and always accessible for questions and consultation. I have recommended him to several friends. I could not be more happy with the result."

Trevor and Lindsey Starnes - Dallas, Texas



"We are very satisfied with DFWCityhomes. Tod's great; very professional and quick to respond to any concerns we have."

Robert and Elizabeth Guest - Ennis, Texas



"Tom and I thank the Lord for his convictions, guidance and goodness to us during this time of marketing our home, selling it and purchasing a new one! He never ceases to amaze us... in both prosperous times and difficult trials.

We thank him for your participation during this time and we are grateful to you as well. You really helped us to make "uncharted waters" for us a much smoother sailing. You have been a blessing and we turly appreciate you. Most gratefully and sincerely in Christ"

Tom and Faith Craft - Murphy, Texas



"Tod is very knowledgeble about the process of selling your home, he knows the North Texas Market, and he knows the techniques that buyers realtors use. He always has the sellers best interest in mind. The bottom line you can trust Tod to guide you through the sale of your home."

John and Kelly Hemenway - Frisco, Texas



"Now that our house is officially sold, let me say a heartfelt thank you for your service.  We had the house on the market for two plus months with a full service broker and had nothing but problems.  They wrote lousy copy, took terrible pics and worst of all, had no marketing plan.  When we moved to your service, using our pics, copy and marketing, the house sold in a few days and with multiple offers.  We would gladly refer ANYONE to your service."

Scott and Jo Tyree - Rowlett, Texas



"My wife and I moved to Texas a year ago.  We knew we wanted to purchase a home, but were very unfamiliar with the best areas to move into.  We wanted not only a great deal, but a great deal in a great area.  Tod was very patient and helpful during the process of finding the perfect home.  He had great market knowledge that really helped us feel confident in the purchase of our next home.  In the end we found the perfect house at the perfect price.  Tod went above and beyond in the final stages of our home purchase to make sure we were well taken care of during the final negotiations.  We are looking forward to the purchase of our next home and taking advantage of Tod's listing services in the future."

Luke and Stephanie Williams - Coppell, Texas


"Tod created an eye-catching MLS listing and brochure. Additionally, he provided useful information about trends in the market. Thanks"

John & Kelly Hemenway - Frisco, Texas



"We loved the price and the service! For under $500, we had our house put on MLS and had many qualified renters come by to look at it. Within a couple of months we had a very qualified renter who signed a 14 month lease. This was after we actually turned one down! I would definitely use Tod's services again...when we try to sell our house in a year or so. I would highly recommend Tod!"

Sue Berk - Dallas, Texas



"Tod has been very professional on all 5 of our transactions. One purchase and 4 sales. Tod is efficient and is a good negotiator. On several deals Tod was able to keep the closing alive and get it done. I highly suggest you use Tod's services. He is a PRO I have recommended Tod to several friends and other investors. Thank you."

Carl Richards - Carrollton, Texas



"Tod, is punctual, professional and hard working. His work in selling our house, is equal to or better than the work done by a traditional broker, who charges 3% to list a house."

Bob and Pat Joyce - Keller, Texas



"If you are a savvy homeowner or investor that likes to save money on real estate transactions, then this is the only way to go. For a very reasonable flat fee, Tod Franklin listed my house on the MLS complete with professional photos, a yard sign, lockbox and marketing material copy. In short, everything I needed to sell my home. I sold the home in 55 days during a buyers market and saved 3% by not paying the traditional listing agent commission. I happily paid the selling agent's commission that brought my eventual buyer to me. Tod was always available to answer questions and send me leads via email. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat."

Rhonda Norman - Dallas, Texas


"We listed our condo for sale using the Full Listing Service package provided by DFWCityhomes. Realtor, Tod Franklin, was excellent to work with. He expertly came out, took multiple pictures, created an awesome ad/flier, and efficiently listed our condo on a variety of sites for us. Tod was easily accessible to answer questions or explain details throughout the process. Ultimately we ended up leasing our condo, but in the future, when we're ready to buy or sell property in the Dallas area, we will call Tod Franklin at DFWCityhomes."

Elaine Laroa - Dallas, Texas



"Tod was thorough, professional, and helped us accomplish our goal of selling our house in a very tough market. He was a tremendous resource in helping us price our home and was instrumental in helping us maximize our sales price when we were lucky enough to generate multiple offers. I highly recommend DFWCITYHOMES.COM!"

Michael Pollak - Dallas, Texas



"This is a great service that fit my needs. Tod was very responsive and willing to discuss any concerns that I had. The pictures and exposure to my listing were great. Tod handled the negotiations when needed along with giving me advice on how to counter the offers that came my way."

Stan Katz - Dallas, Texas


"I was extremely happy with the services provided by DFWCityhomes when we sold our home. We received virtually all of the services provided by a full real estate service throughout the entire process and saved thousands of dollars in commissions. The entire selling process was very simple, we received all the assistance needed, and had accepted an offer within weeks of listing our home. We compared many different services before going with DFWCityhomes, and none of the others provided anywhere near the services and features for the price. Will absolutely use again next time we sell a home in the DFW area.

What was the obstacle that would have prevented you from buying this service? Naive thinking that a full broker would give better service. My fear was not knowing what to expect in the selling process. The reality is that it was so much easier than expected. Everything I thought would be difficult is taken care of by the title company, the whole process was very simple.

What did you find as a result of buying this service?  The selling process is easier than expected.

What specific feature did you like most about this service?  Unlike most flat fee listing services, the front sign looks like it is from a full service real estate agency, not a for sale by owner sign.

What would be three other benefits about this service?  Saved thousands of dollars and received virtually all of the services provided by full service commission based realtors.

Would you recommend this service? If so, why?  Yes, one of the rare occasions I actually got more than expected.  Couldn't have been more pleased with the whole experience.

Eric - Fort Worth, Texas



"The way homes are sold is changing. In this competitive buyer's market, sellers no longer can afford to pay 6% commissions. Tod's service is the home seller's answer. With Tod, we have not sacrificed personal attention in the least bit. He has always been prompt in returning all of our calls and has not hastened to follow up with any of our questions or requests. If you are in the market for saving thousands of dollars and for personal attention, then Tod's your guy."

John and Magdalena Wiertzema - Saginaw, Texas


"DFWCityhomes provides exceptional service that goes beyond simply providing a listing service.  From beginning to end of the sales process, Tod is always there to answer questions and tweak the listing to get buyers through the door.  Last but not least, we saved over $8,000 by using DFWCityhomes!  No doubt, I recommend DFWCityhomes to all my family and friends."

Will D. -  Dallas, Texas



"DFWCityhomes and Tod provided excellent service at a very reasonable cost.  I have sold two other houses using discounted listing services and DFWCityhomes is by far the best.   We can start from the very 1st email I sent to Tod.  He responded immediately with a form to fill out regarding information on my house etc.  Within 24 hours Tod had comparable analysis with a good idea on what I should be listing my house for. We then set-up an appointment and he came and took photos of our house.  The very next day the house was listed. This was a Saturday evening and on Sunday morning I had request from two separate perspective buyers to look at the house. Throughout the listing period Tod keep me informed on perspective buyers etc.  We had an offer within 11 days during a very slow market.  Additionally, this was in August which is also a slower period. Tod assisted me in helping negotiate a price and gave some valuable advise that assisted me in determining counter offers etc.

What was the obstacle that would have prevented you from buying this service? Naive thinking that a full broker would give better service.  

What did you find as a result of buying this service?  I found that I received better customer service than I ever had from a full service broker.  Yes I had to do some little things on my own but Todd was always there for guidance.  

What specific feature did you like most about this service?  Tod's attention to detail and reliability.  The Photography was outstanding.  

What would be three other benefits about this service?  Low cost, ability to cancel at anytime without being obligated to the realtor.  Convenience.  

Would you recommend this service? If so, why? Yes, For all of the previous reasons above.  

Is there anything you’d like to add?  If you are a homeowner that is proud of your house and want the best service at a low cost, then DFWCityhomes is the place for you."

Dan Wilson - Southlake, Texas



"Our house had been on the market for over a year and listed with two different brokers.  After listing with Todd, we had a buyer in less than two weeks.  He handled all the negotiations like the professional he is and the closing ran very smoothly.  He also helped us look for a house when we thought we were going to be relocating within the Metroplex and was great to work with.  We have already recommended Todd to friends and will continue to do so.  We will definitely use him again if we move back to Texas.'

Tracey Larsen - Keller, Texas



"My experience using DFWCityhomes to list our home in Lewisville was way above my expectations.  Tod went above and beyond answering all my questions, spending time with me on the phone, and returning all my e-mail's and voice mails in a timely matter.  I have used a traditional realtor in the past to sell my home and after using DFWCityhomes listing service, I will never go back listing with a 3% Realtor.  The cost savings is incredible; our home was listed on the MLS & looked like any other home on the market.   I am always leery of recommending services/people to friends & family unless I am 100% confident they will get superb service.   I have already recommended DFWCityhomes to a close friend and plan to keep recommending them to all my friends and family!   

What was the obstacle that would have prevented you from buying this service? My past realtor had told me if I used a broker listing service, realtors would boycott and not show my house.  This was 100% false information & a scare tactic to keep people using the traditional 3% listing fee.   My listing looked like every other listing on the MLS and on closing day I learned that the buyers had no idea I didn't have a 6% realtor.  They never new.   

What did you find as a result of buying this service?  I was pleasantly surprised I had made a great decision for my family.  I had no regrets and not one negative thing to say/warn about my experience.   

What specific feature did you like most about this service?  The value.  What you get for your money is an incredible value, you truly do get to keep more money in your pocket from the sell of your home.   

What would be three other benefits about this service?  The lock box you get for you door is the one all the area Realtors use.  The sign for the yard makes it look like a regular listing, & the professional pictures you get taken of your home by DFWCityhomes.   

Would you recommend this service? If so, why?  I would recommend this service because the value you get with it far out ways the competition.   

How did you find out about DFWCityhomes? Googling ways to sell my home & make more money. 

Julie Ayala - Lewisville, Texas



"The flat listing service was extremely beneficial in the sale of our property.  While we only had one real estate showing, the extra exposure on the various websites on the internet is what brought our buyer to us.  We closed without paying any agent fees other than the flat fee to DFWCityhomes Service." 

H. Leavell - Canton, Texas



"Tod did a great job of helping us sell our home. I would use him again." 

Gary Cowsert - Austin, Texas



"I would definitely recommend DFWCityhomes to anyone wanting to sell their home. Its a great value and they have great customer service. DFWCityhomes saved me thousands of dollars and made listing my home an easy process." 

Shawn Woodward - Benbrook, Texas

Thad Zurawski - Chicago, Illinois



"We were extremely impressed with Tod's professionalism and attention to detail. He always responded quickly to our requests and was a joy to work with. We will ALWAYS use him in the future for buying and selling real estate and already refer to him whenever we have the chance!" 

Kirk and Susan Loveless - Rhome, Texas



"As an owner/investor I have bought, sold and leased properties for over 20 years. The quality service that Tod provides at a fraction of the full service cost increases my bottom line and removes the frustration of doing it myself. He has become a trusted partner in my real estate transactions. I highly recommend Tod to anyone needing a real estate professional. " 

Andy and Shirley Boyd - Dallas, Texas



"We really appreciate you getting this listed for us so soon! I am very happy to be working with a "real" person and not just a big flat fee business. Thanks!"
