WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:01.686
We met Franco

00:01.686 --> 00:04.280
through our realtors

00:04.280 --> 00:06.780
when we were moving years ago

00:06.780 --> 00:09.320
into this plot of land,

00:09.320 --> 00:10.589
what used to be

00:10.589 --> 00:12.280
our little bungalow.

00:12.280 --> 00:14.075
And what immediately

00:14.075 --> 00:15.960
stood out with Franco

00:15.960 --> 00:17.088
from every other

00:17.088 --> 00:18.640
person in the industry

00:18.640 --> 00:21.185
that we have met is just his

00:21.185 --> 00:23.640
genuine honest disposition.

00:23.640 --> 00:24.987
He was the first

00:24.987 --> 00:26.840
person in the industry

00:26.840 --> 00:28.264
that we felt that

00:28.264 --> 00:29.520
we could trust,

00:29.520 --> 00:31.002
truly had our best

00:31.002 --> 00:32.320
interest in mind

00:32.320 --> 00:34.640
and he was responsive

00:34.640 --> 00:35.692
and that truly

00:35.692 --> 00:37.120
was what stood out.

00:37.120 --> 00:38.705
I felt that I could

00:38.705 --> 00:40.040
always trust him

00:40.040 --> 00:41.135
and that we would

00:41.135 --> 00:42.680
never be left in a lurch

00:42.680 --> 00:44.061
like you hear so

00:44.061 --> 00:45.960
often from other folks

00:45.960 --> 00:47.336
that have built

00:47.336 --> 00:49.080
or renovated homes.

00:49.080 --> 00:50.360
There were a few

00:50.360 --> 00:52.120
things that Franco did

00:52.120 --> 00:53.210
that stuck out

00:53.210 --> 00:55.000
throughout the process,

00:55.000 --> 00:56.922
which made me think

00:56.922 --> 00:58.440
that he was not

00:58.440 --> 00:59.754
the traditional

00:59.754 --> 01:01.680
architect and builder.

01:01.680 --> 01:04.097
One of the main things was he

01:04.097 --> 01:05.388
never shot down

01:05.388 --> 01:06.680
any of my ideas

01:06.880 --> 01:08.567
and he was never

01:08.567 --> 01:10.360
emotionally upset

01:10.360 --> 01:11.890
when we suggested

01:11.890 --> 01:13.960
changes to his drawings

01:13.960 --> 01:15.560
or the work that he had done.

01:15.560 --> 01:17.221
He truly viewed it as

01:17.221 --> 01:19.040
a collaborative process

01:19.040 --> 01:20.272
in the sense that

01:20.272 --> 01:21.360
it was our home

01:21.360 --> 01:22.996
and yes, he was doing

01:22.996 --> 01:24.320
the design for us

01:24.320 --> 01:26.967
but he was never upset when

01:26.967 --> 01:29.320
we went through his work

01:29.880 --> 01:31.413
and proposed changes or

01:31.413 --> 01:32.240
updates that

01:32.240 --> 01:33.480
would better match

01:33.480 --> 01:34.640
the way that we

01:34.640 --> 01:35.800
live in a home.

01:35.800 --> 01:37.954
If I met somebody that was

01:37.954 --> 01:40.440
looking to build a custom home

01:40.440 --> 01:42.163
or remodel their home,

01:42.163 --> 01:44.120
obviously without a doubt

01:44.120 --> 01:46.280
I would recommend Franco.

01:46.280 --> 01:47.913
And if you were looking

01:47.913 --> 01:49.120
to work with him,

01:49.120 --> 01:50.834
the one thing that I

01:50.834 --> 01:52.720
would tell you is that

01:52.720 --> 01:53.440
you should feel

01:53.440 --> 01:54.400
safe and comfortable

01:54.400 --> 01:56.100
that you are in good hands

01:56.100 --> 01:57.800
and that you can trust him

01:57.800 --> 02:00.040
to bring your vision to life

02:00.040 --> 02:01.320
and also protect

02:01.320 --> 02:02.920
you and your family.

02:02.920 --> 02:06.600
A remodel and a new home build

02:06.600 --> 02:08.962
that is one of the biggest

02:08.962 --> 02:10.960
financial undertakings

02:10.960 --> 02:12.258
that most people

02:12.258 --> 02:13.800
take in their life.

02:13.800 --> 02:15.904
It is a big commitment

02:15.904 --> 02:18.200
financially, personally,

02:18.200 --> 02:19.647
time-wise for you

02:19.647 --> 02:21.520
and your entire family

02:21.520 --> 02:22.840
and that's not to

02:22.840 --> 02:24.160
be taken lightly.

02:24.160 --> 02:24.810
No matter how

02:24.810 --> 02:25.760
many horror stories

02:25.760 --> 02:27.322
I've heard about people

02:27.322 --> 02:28.680
building, remodeling

02:28.680 --> 02:29.821
and the contractor

02:29.821 --> 02:31.280
leaving halfway through

02:31.280 --> 02:32.880
and leaving them in a lurch,

02:32.880 --> 02:33.958
that's truly one

02:33.958 --> 02:35.440
thing that you can say

02:35.440 --> 02:36.905
is that you can trust

02:36.905 --> 02:38.160
Franco to be there

02:38.160 --> 02:39.760
throughout the entire process

02:39.760 --> 02:41.903
and fully support you

02:41.903 --> 02:44.760
throughout the entire piece.
