Jill Franks

Jill possesses a rare blend of artistic design talent, construction expertise, and real estate strategy, allowing her to transform properties into high-performing assets. With nearly two decades of hands-on renovation experience and hundreds of homes redesigned, staged, and sold, Jill has built a reputation for setting record-breaking prices across Southern California neighborhoods — consistently outperforming market averages.

Unlike traditional agents, Jill approaches every home through the lens of a designer and ROI strategist. She sees what others miss: the hidden potential that, when guided by smart design and disciplined budgets, can dramatically increase a property’s value. Jill maintains trusted, efficient teams—contractors, stagers, and tradespeople—ready to step in, allowing her to control timelines, budgets, and quality with precision.

“I know exactly what needs to be done to make a home shine—and what doesn’t,” Jill says. “My job is to elevate the property while protecting every dollar the client invests.”

For sellers, this means curated renovations and high-impact staging that generate multiple offers and reduce days on market. Jill often provides staging and renovation assistance with no upfront out-of-pocket costs, with payment conveniently settled through escrow once the home sells.

For buyers, Jill has become known for her ability to create million-dollar dreams without million-dollar purchase prices. When a client desires a $10 million–quality home, Jill identifies a property for a fraction of that price—often around $2 million—then leads a strategically budgeted renovation (for example, $2 million in improvements). The result: a breathtaking “dream home” with built-in equity from day one.

Her clients call it magic. Jill calls it vision, strategy, and heart.

Because she comes from design, not a conventional real estate background, Jill communicates differently with clients. She listens for how they want to feel in their home, not just what features they want. She visualizes transformation instantly, guiding them through possibilities most people never see.

The outcome:

• Homes that sell faster
• Clients who buy smarter
• Properties that outperform the market
• And families who walk into homes that feel like a dream come true

Above all, Jill pours her heart into every project. Whether she is helping a family sell a beloved home or guiding a buyer into a future filled with possibility, her dedication, integrity, and creative vision shine through.

“Everything I touch, I treat as if it were my own,” she says. “My clients trust me with their homes, their investments, and their dreams — and I take that responsibility personally.”

When she’s not renovating, staging, or strategizing for clients, Jill enjoys curating unique finds with her husband, spending time with her three beautiful girls, and discovering inspiration in architecture around the world.
