Jude is amazing!!! I am a first time home buyer and was a little overwhelmed by the ins and outs of the home buying process. Initially, I had been working with someone else and that experience left me feeling discouraged and frustrated. My hopes of homeownership were dwindling and I felt like I would be stuck in a rental situation for the foreseeable future. But, as soon as I met Jude, my attitude and outlook changed. I began to feel confident and optimistic that I would indeed be able to buy a home in the near future. Jude is extremely personable, very knowledgeable, and above all else is a man of integrity… There are so many details that come with home buying and having a good realtor in your corner is the difference between making it happen and dreaming about it. I would absolutely recommend Jude for anyone looking to buy a home and will most definitely call him if and when I want to buy or sell again!!!

My fiancé and I really appreciated Jude's dedication to finding and facilitating the purchase of our awesome, new home. He was more than happy to view dozens of properties with us. He kept us updated on what was coming to market and scheduled appointments immediately for those we were interested in. He was able to broker our deal for below asking price, saving us thousands for our remodel. His background in construction and city planning was extremely helpful for us to understand all the nuances of a country property. He made sure that the inspections were thorough and covered all areas of concern. We were very happy with our experience, and have already recommended him to family, friends, and anyone looking for a exceptional agent.

I could not have navigated the purchase of my first new home, at 62 years old, without Jude. He answered my anxious questions thoroughly and calmly. I'm used to being a boss, so these unfamiliar waters of buying a home left me feeling suddenly dependent on someone else. From applying for a loan to choosing and working with a mortgage lender and all the way through escrow, Jude explained the process and the real estate lingo. After 40 years of renting, Jude helped me fulfill my dream of purchasing the right home for me. I could not be happier in my beautiful home!

Jude Frates was a great realtor to work with. He deserves 10 stars! My goal was to sell my house within a short reasonable amount of time and knew that it was not an easy task. After meeting with a few different realtors I hired Jude for his local knowledge and attention to detail, as well as his commitment and best strategy to sell my house. He always kept me informed during the whole selling process. I am happy to say that my house sold within a couple weeks on the market. Everything worked out as planned!

We met Jude Frates March 4, 2020 to discuss selling our country property in Spring 2021 and purchasing another home within Sonoma County. Upon returning from a road trip to the Midwest in September, we changed our relocation to Nebraska. Jude was instrumental with logistics involved with this change including finding a good agent in Omaha. Jude was generous with his time, advice and patience assisting us every step of the way! We appreciate and are grateful for Jude's hard work, diligence and expertise in the successful sale of our country home and move to the Midwest. He's the BEST!

We couldn’t have navigated this crazy market without Jude! He is kind, patient, and knowledgeable of the Sonoma county which helped us settle into the perfect house! Thanks Jude!!

Wow Jude was the most helpful and amazing person to work with - it was like working with an old friend you trust. He knew what we were looking for - not a moment of our time was wasted working with Jude and he maximized the possibilities. He is a great advocate and well known locally. Get in with Jude. Also wow all his green tips on sustainability were crucial for our decision making on a remodel plan.

Working with Jude was a great experience. He helped me tremendously when I was buying my first home whether it was answering random questions at all hours of the day or finding me my dream home off market so I could avoid a bidding war. Jude was always in a positive mood about any house he would show me and you could really tell he cared about finding me the right home. I would one hundred percent recommend Jude to anybody looking to buy a home. Thank you Jude for finding me my dream forever home!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jude to sell my home. He went above and beyond in helping me prepare my home for sale as well as marketing my home. He ensured that my house was viewed by everyone who might be interested and communicated my needs well. He was professional, available to answer questions, and discuss strategy anytime I needed him. I am overjoyed with the results, receiving well over asking price and going into escrow in just 11 days. I would recommend Jude to anyone looking to get top value for their home and enjoy a easy seamless transaction.

I had a great experience working with Jude over the last 8 months! When my partner and I first started looking we weren’t quite ready to purchase and Jude was supportive and patient throughout the process and showed us ALL kinds of homes so we could figure out what we wanted. Once we were ready, Jude switched into gear and worked with us to be more aggressive (which you had to be in the 2021 market haha). Very thankful for all his help!
