JFA was borne out of the creativity of its founder and Principal, Juny E. François, Esq. Juny has a passion for home improvement projects and interior decorating. This desire led her to buy her first investment property in 2002. As she culmed the streets of Brooklyn in search of her first investment property, she really began to learn more about Brooklyn, the borough she was born in, Queens, the borough she grew up in, Manhattan, the borough where she went to College, the Bronx, the borough where she sat in the bleaches & cheered the Yankees and Staten Island, the borough where she got her first Costco card. Juny, in true Juny fashion, became the “411” for the streets of New York, so much so that her friends began to call on her when they were ready to purchase their homes and investment properties, enter in rental agreements or other real estate investment opportunities. They came to her with all their real estate concerns. Juny soon realized that she really enjoyed consulting with others on their real estate matters and decided to open up J. François & Associates, LLC a few years ago. As a proud Native New Yorker and Brooklyn resident, Juny appreciates the aesthetic value of what New York City has to offer and the New York real estate market overall.
The team at JFA is dedicated to finding you the best house on the best block in the best neighborhood that suits you the best for you to call home. Our enthusiastic agents will not rest until they find you the perfect home. Whether you are looking for tree-lined blocks, quiet streets, great restaurants or Fashion Avenue shops, we will find the right neighborhood for you.
However, a JFA agent does not just show you properties, we do market research for you to make sure you are asking (if seller) or paying (if buyer) the fair market value of a property. We also find out any “inside” information about a property and recent and upcoming developments in the neighborhood. We provide you with contacts for any work that may need to be done in your home, help you through the inspection process, get estimates of work that may need to be done so that you can factor that into your listing or offering price. For buyers, we also help you figure out your financing and put you in contact with lenders–some of whom Juny can refer from her own personal experience. JFA is a full-service real estate brokerage firm, helping our clients from the viewing to the move in stage and beyond if needed. We work with you to make sure that you are comfortable and settled in.
JFA’s slogan is ‘Creating a Wealth of Opportunities’. This is not referring to opportunities for the company, but for our clients and the communities they choose to live in. We are so fortunate to a part of that process.
