We can't say enough good things about our experience buying a home with Julia Connor of the Francie Malina team. As first time home buyers in a competitive market, we had lots of questions, and Julia was so patient, responsive, resourceful, honest and transparent with us throughout the process. She struck the perfect balance of looking out for our best interests and advising us, while also letting us form our own opinions. We ended up getting the second house we offered on, and we felt totally confident and comfortable in our offer. The whole team gave us stellar recommendations for different vendors, from lenders to lawyers to inspectors and more. Julia was there for us every step of the way and we are so grateful! We would recommend the Francie Malina team to anyone in Westchester and look forward to working with them again!
Pamela Grunstein at Compass was absolutely phenomenal from beginning to end! She guided us through every step of getting our home ready with incredible knowledge, organization, patience, and care. What we appreciated most was the way Pamela always laid out our options, thoughtfully explaining the pros and cons without ever being pushy. Her suggestions were spot-on, and we’re so grateful we trusted her advice—it made a tremendous difference. It’s honestly hard to put into words the value Pamela brought to every step of the process. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. We’ve known Pamela for years and had watched her guide friends through their real estate journeys, but we didn’t fully appreciate just how exceptional she is until we needed her ourselves. She exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t recommend Pamela more highly. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, strategic, and truly exceptional real estate agent, Pamela is the one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Francie Malina and her team are the ultimate professionals. I was with another realtor for almost a year when selling my house and when I switched to Francie and her team, in 3 months I had an offer from highly qualified buyers. They went out of their way to screen prospective buyers so my time was not wasted. Francie and Pamela were also very helpful throughout the entire contract to closing process. I couldn’t have done it without them.
How do you handle selling a place you’ve called home for 23 years? When you have a real estate agent like Pamela Grunstein, everything gets easier and falls into place. We said we needed an agent who would hold our hand throughout, and that’s exactly what she did. From advice on decluttering to arranging stunning photography and through the listing, showings, offers, contract, and closing, she was there, handling every detail, large or small. Relentlessly upbeat, she brought her expertise, calm demeanor, and professionalism to the process, taking the stress out of it and delivering an excellent outcome for us. Hiring Pamela was the best decision we ever made.
What truly sets Pam apart is her reliability and dependability. She was always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way, and followed through on everything she promised. I always felt confident knowing she was handling every aspect of the sale with care and professionalism. Pam's contribution to selling my home went above and beyond my expectations!
To our family, Pamela is much more than a real estate agent. She has become a trusted friend who helped us find not just a house, but a place we truly call home. From the very beginning, Pamela's professionalism gave us complete peace of mind. She was always responsive, no matter how big or small our questions were. Whether our concerns made sense or not, she took the time to answer them thoughtfully and always did what was in our best interest. Whenever something needed to be addressed, she reached out to the town or the appropriate professionals to make sure everything was handled properly. We first met Pamela in 2021, and over the past five years she has continued to be an invaluable resource and friend. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our family, and we would work with her again and again without hesitation. We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy real estate agent.
We had a lovely experience working with Julia Connor to find our perfect home. Julia was knowledgable about the local community, applicable taxes, heating, electric, etc.. you name it, she had the info! I would highly recommend working with Julia. You wont be disappointed.
Julia and Trevor were the team that worked with us to find our home. They were excellent and incredibly responsive to questions, and provided resources about the process every step of the way. They were also happy to step in to deal with walk through when I was unavoidably out of town. Julia is exceptional. She provided honest feedback, answered every question, and told me when she truly didn’t think a home was a good fit for us. She hunted down answers quickly to a multitude of questions. I also want to comment on the start to finish process. This is a competitive market and so it took some time. She was never discouraged and so we remained positive about finding a place instead of it feeling like a downtrodden pilgrimage. We did and I would imagine that there are a ton of ways that a person could feel overwhelmed. She guided me to her team that expertly helped us through inspection, closing, etc. Every piece of the process is carefully coordinated along the way. It was much appreciated and I highly recommend this team if you’re searching in a tough market.
Working with Francie Malina and her incredible team to sell our home was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From our very first meeting, their knowledge of the local market and passion for what they do was immediately clear. They guided us seamlessly through the entire selling process, helping us set the right strategy and removing all the usual stress that comes with moving. Communication was stellar; the team was always accessible, proactive, and ready to answer any questions we had. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and the level of service we received. If you are looking to sell your home, look no further than the Francie Malina Team—they are truly the best of the best!
The agent paid attention to details. They are very professional. It was a pleasant experience!
This team the has it all - they’re Strategic. Savvy. Smart. We felt particularly fortunate to be guided through the whole process by our rock star realtor, Lisa! 🤩 Whether you’re selling or buying, this team has the know-how to take you from “inkling” to sale… and from “I think I’d like to live in...” to actually living there. A home purchase/sale is the biggest deal of one’s life. And we highly recommend entrusting that milestone to the Francie Malina Team!!
