About Fran

Frances Bidell Narragansett, RI Real Estate Agent Headshot

Fran Bidell

Get To Know Me

A native New Yorker, Fran relocated to Rhode Island in 2003 following a distinguished twenty-year career on Wall Street as a commodities broker. Upon settling in Jamestown, she immediately pursued her real estate license, channeling a lifelong passion for properties into what would become her dream career. Fran’s deep financial expertise, combined with her unwavering commitment to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives, has positioned her as a trusted advisor and top performer in the field.
 
Today, Fran resides on Jamestown Island with her family and three beloved dogs. Outside of real estate, she is an avid golfer, gardener, and swimmer, embracing the coastal lifestyle she so often helps her clients achieve. Specializing in the Coastal Rhode Island luxury market, Fran has built her reputation around a simple philosophy: she connects “Beautiful Homes with Beautiful People.”
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I am happy to shout from the rooftops that Fran is the best in the business! We had a tall order of selling our 100-year-old house and buying one that would fit our growing family. We are so thrilled that we had Fran guiding us during the whole experience. Fran went above and beyond to get things done! During times of stress, Fran was so good at shooting straight with us, talking facts, and helping the s...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Fran worked tirelessly to find the right house for us and finally succeeded! During our long search, her advice on making offers and in other situations was just what we needed, and her constant optimism and encouragement made a huge difference. She was much more knowledgeable about South County and the East Bay than the other realtors we used before we met her. We can’t recommend her highly enough, and ...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We have bought and sold a few homes across three different states. Among the different realtors we have worked with over the years, Fran really stood out. Her experience, knowledge of the area, and ability to understand customer needs really impressed us. Due to the circumstances of our most recent relocation, we were only able to visit Rhode Island twice before we purchased. Working with Fran gave us th...

Fran was an absolute godsend! My fiancé and I were first-time homebuyers, and she helped us every step of the way. She even helped us find a lender, insurance agent, and a lawyer.

In the end, Fran found us the home of ou...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Fran is truly an expert who knows every detail in the local market and what we really need. She is friendly and always responded to our questions promptly.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

After living in our house for 37 years, my husband and I decided to downsize. Our house was new when we purchased it, so the whole process of hiring and working with a realtor was foreign to us. We looked at new models in a 55-and-up community and loved them. By chance, I found a resale in that community online. We toured it and loved it even more. A few days later, my husband and I wanted to make an off...

— Seller

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I have loved Fran’s no-nonsense coaching and feedback for my last three moves! She knows the local markets and is committed to helping you succeed as both buyer and seller. She is never afraid to roll up her sleeves and help, as well as go to bat in negotiations.

— Buyer | Seller

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Our experience working with Fran was excellent. We relocated to Rhode Island from Connecticut during the pandemic, and she was steadfast. She was extremely patient and encouraging when the market dried up and we had already sold our home. As we waited for listings, she helped familiarize us with different areas in Rhode Island and zeroed in on what we were truly looking for and needed at this stage in ou...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Fran is a true professional. There are too many good things I could say about her to list here. She truly has your best interest in mind and acts accordingly. She is always there when you need her. She sold me my first home and my second, and now she will list my condo for me. I completely trust her judgment. She is extremely knowledgeable about all sides of this business and beyond. A real people person...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

If I had to use a realtor in Rhode Island again, it would definitely be Fran. She went above and beyond, especially with a challenging market and sale. Fran delivers on what she says and is a great advocate for her clients. Thank you, Fran, for being a superstar.

Fran was amazing throughout my entire process of purchasing a new home. She was attentive and would discuss concerns until I felt comfortable. She has wonderful contacts in the industry, and if a question came up, she was able to quickly get an answer. I would highly recommend Fran to anyone! She is incredible and made the entire process comfortable for me.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Fran Bidell was positively wonderful! We sold two houses and purchased a third, which meant there were a lot of moving parts, but Fran helped us navigate the process with as little stress as possible and always brought a sense of humor and excitement to every conversation. We could not have been happier with her professionalism and knowledge and would recommend her wholeheartedly!
