About Me

Sebastian FL
Sebastian FL

As a little girl, I always dreamed of traveling the world. Wanting to be an Archaeologist,  I wanted to learn & see everything. Every nook & cranny; the unbeaten path; the places you didn't even know that existed.  I wanted to learn the culture, try the food, see the architecture and beauty. My husband and I started our own Watch business in 1998.  He learned the art of watch making.  We were able to travel to many areas. Learning Swiss watches in Switzerland; we even have a watch in the Omega Museum.  I loved Scotland, the beauty of the hills and Loch’s, the medieval bridges, and castles. I have also traveled to other places like Costa Rica, which is very Calm, pretty, holistic. Pura vida! I have been to Hawaii, Alaska, Bermuda; the Panama Canal and all of the Caribbean.

I changed my career when we moved to FL in 2010 to a Real Estate Agent (2013) a Broker Associate with Re/Max Crown Realty, with high credentials.  Although, I do very well in this field, Multimillion dollar producer.  I learned that life is too short. I was going to fast and work was my life. My family & friends are to great! Just recently, with an injury that changed our lives. My husband is a below the knee amputee, and I broke my back. Which has slowed me down to see, more then a couple week vacation a few times a year.

My love of travel and the yearning to see the world is at my back and call. So, why wait! I have an opportunity to do what I have always dreamed and I went to help you with your travel dreams.  I want you to experience whether it's big or small, a private tour or a cruise, a destination spot, or an exotic place, I am with you to help.  I want you to feel your trip the way you want to.  This has everything to do with YOU! Just like I help so many with their dreams of home ownership.  I take great pride in my real estate endeavors. I love all my clients, and they love me. I have so much passion in travel and love for you.  I want to bring you YOUR extraordinary out of the ordinary vacations you may take. I am known for being the helpful agent. It's your experience and my job to help you achieve it. So, lets GO! Let me help you!  Give me a call today, so I can make your why vacation come true.

Europe train travels
Reviewed By Traveler - Sebastian Fl | Traveled to Aarau | Switzerland | Europe
We had Franciene build a trip through Switzerland and ending in Italy. We wanted to ride the trains through the Alps and then went into Venice and ended at Florence. We went to Gornergrat by train to see the Matterhorn and glaciers that was a day trip from Zermat its was absolutely beautiful. Then rode from Zermat to St Mortiz on the Glacier Express. WOW!! An experience that one needs to experience. Then from St Mortiz on the Bernia express to Italy. Another unbelievable ride with amazing beauty. All the trains were timed perfectly, the hotels were all very nice and close to the train stations. If you ever want to do Switzerland by train Franciene will line up a trip of a lifetime. We have already been talking to her about the next destination.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

HAPPY HAPPY CRUISER
Reviewed By KSalmon - Sebastian, Florida | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Francine whom I have known personally and professionally for many years, did an excellent job of assisting me and my BFF in planning and preparing for the cruise of a lifetime. I couldn't be happier. This trip was a "bucket list" trip for me and I enjoyed every minute. The ship NCL/Aqua was incredible, the staff was perfect, the excursions were fantastic. Francine helped us so much and YES I will recommend her.

It was a great trip.
Reviewed By Peter Hinck - Sebastian | Traveled to Barbados | Caribbean
We wanted to get away from the large ships and large crowds of people. Francine did an excellent job of finding us the perfect cruise. We also made some last-minute changes, and Francine took care of them without problems. It was a great trip and we will use Francine again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

Croatia by Private Yacht
Francine organized a small group yacht tour for us in 2023 and it was the most amazing and magical trip. As you can see from the pics, the sights we saw were beautiful and the yacht was perfect. We felt like VIPs with the small size of the ship(30 people), to the personalized service and luxurious accommodations and gourmet food. We were fortunate to have Francine join us on our adventure and she was a great asset to have. She planned everything for us and if there was an issue she handled. Highly recommend Francine, we enjoyed Croatia so much we are thinking about booking a second yacht trip with Francine for 2025
