Excellent Real Estate team! We’ve been working for and with Francie’s team of agents for over 12 years now and it’s always seamless. 👍
We had a wonderful experience with Francie Malina and her team. They were completely professional, knowledgable about the market, and able to give us helpful advice throughout the sales process. Highly recommend!
Selling a home in 2025 is vastly different than it was just a few years ago. Yet most realtors are selling the same way they did in 1999. Pamela Grunstein and the Francie Malina team at Compass are vastly different from the rest. When we first met, Pamela developed a plan and timeline for the sale of the house. She identified a few minor improvements that would help drive more interest. And, unlike other realtors I have worked with, she provided specific goals for the number of showings and when we could expect to receive offers. The week that the house went on the market, she followed her plan - and exceeded the goals we had agreed upon. We received multiple offers, all over asking price. Once we accepted an offer, Pamela continued to actively manage the process towards closing. She proactively made sure we had everything we needed in place (including closing out a very old permit that had not been closed properly). Every time I asked "do we need to.." her answer was "we've got that handled already". Buying and selling a home can be a very stressful process. Pamela and the Francie Malina team removed almost all of that stress, while delivering an outcome that exceeded our expectations. If you're even thinking about selling a home in the Rivertowns, she should be your first call.
Leanne and Trevor were wonderful partners and expert advisors on our home buying journey. They made sure we were always protected and worked in our best interest as we navigated the market. More importantly they leveraged their strong community in the westchester area to assemble a broader team for us that was fast, reliable and caring. Couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals. Most importantly they took time to get to know us and curate our search, which is so important.
Preparing our home of 29 years for sale seemed daunting especially as I am also a caregiver. The Francie Malina Team especially Lisa Cassella made the process almost effortless on my part. Lisa is thoughtful and thorough. She was always accessible and generous with her time and expertise. I highly recommend the Francie Malina Team and Lisa Cassella.
From the moment we started working with Pamela and the Francie Malina Team, we knew we were in the best hands. Pamela impressed us with her knowledge of the Westchester market, attention to detail, and genuine passion for helping clients find the perfect home. She made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible by always being available to answer questions and offering expert advice. We truly felt she had our best interests at heart from beginning to end, and feel we gained a trusted advisor and friend in the process. If you’re looking for a realtor team that is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, look no further than Pamela Grunstein and the Francie Malina Team!
It was a pleasure working with Lisa Cassella. She guided us through every step of the process for selling our home. There were no surprises and she was extremely helpful in making sure that our home was show ready. I would not hesitate at all to recommend her.
My husband and I worked with Pamela Grunstein. We thought we knew what we wanted to buy but still could not find a house that fit us. Pamela gradually and very patiently led us to the perfect house for us in a lovely neighborhood with kind people for neighbors. (We've met our next door neighbors and the man who lives across the street. All have been very friendly and welcoming.) We haven't moved in yet, but the house is growing on us more and more every time we visit. (We are remodeling the kitchen before we move in.) Thank you, Pamela!
Kelly helped us find the home that is just right for our family! She was patient and knowledgeable every step of the way. We are so grateful!
The Francie Malina Team of Compass Westchester is outstanding. We had the pleasure of dealing with Kelly. She worked very hard to find my daughter the perfect home. More importantly, she was successful. I highly recommend this realty group.
You will be in good hands with Francie and her team! They are true professionals.
We love the Francie Malina team! Not only did they find us a great house at a great price (almost 5 years ago), they have also served as an incredible local resource ever since! Offering their recommendations for schools, contractors, architects, painters and other services PLUS local event sponsorships - they are endlessly helpful and we are forever fans. Thank you, Francie!
