We feel very fortunate for having connected with Pamela Grunstein and the Francie Malina team. Pamela played a pivotal role in our family’s transition to our new home. Her knowledge, confidence and access enabled us to navigate our home search while balancing patience and enthusiasm. She was available to communicate thoroughly and quickly, kept us informed of upcoming listings, and kept us calm and focused throughout the process. We are so happy with the effort she put forth on our behalf and couldn’t recommend her enough for all real-estate related endeavors in Westchester!

Francie and team have helped us buy a house for our family in Westchester. Their professionalism and local knowledge is unique. In addition, they went above and beyond to address our unique needs and scheduling requests. I highly recommend working with them.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Francie Malina and her incredible team of real estate agents for over two years, and we truly can't thank them enough. From the very beginning, they were patient, responsive, and fully committed to helping our family find the perfect home—no matter how long it took. Their knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and honest advice gave us confidence throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer our questions (day or night), and they went above and beyond every step of the way to make sure we felt supported. It's rare to find a team so dedicated and genuinely caring. Thanks to them, we finally found a place we can proudly call home. If you're looking for agents who will treat you like family and never give up on your goals, look no further. This team is simply the best.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Leanne from the Francie Malina Team, and we truly cannot say enough great things about her. From the very beginning, Leanne made us feel like family. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and nerves, but she guided us through every step of the process with patience, warmth, and expert advice. Leanne’s knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and thoughtful tips made us feel confident and supported throughout our home search. She really took the time to understand what we were looking for and made us feel like a true priority. Every member of the Francie Malina Team that we worked with was equally wonderful—professional, responsive, and genuinely kind. Thanks to Leanne, we found our first home, and it was a smooth, joyful experience from start to finish. We’re so grateful to her and the entire team!

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!
