ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie was amazing for us from start to finish, helping us land our house in spite of the toughest market conditions. Knowing we had her on our side gave us peace of mind amid all the moving pieces and uncertainty of buying our first home, and throughout an unusually long closing. Hats off to her whole team as well, Trevor in particular. If you're looking to move to Westchester or the Rivertowns specifically, don't mess around. Call Francie! You'll be lucky to have her on your side.

ZillowVERIFIEDShe's very helpful and very professional giving information regarding the details of each apartments that I saw and visited. She gives you opportunities to see other options if I didn't like the apartments. In other words, she's knowledgeable. I will recommend her to my friends.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie came highly recommended by some of our friends and she still exceeded expectations. She provided excellent advice throughout the selling process and continually went above and beyond expectations for an agent. I am convinced our home sold faster and for more money because of Francie. I would strongly recommend her to anyone selling their home.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie is the best! She's helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. She made the process of selling a house seem like a breeze from the listing through closing. Highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie is the real deal!! We worked with her for almost a year to find our dream home in the Rivertowns. She is amazingly knowledgeable and friendly - knows every person, business and property the area! Responsive - she and Trevor, another fantastic member of the team (I'm sure they're all fantastic, but we only worked with Francie & Trevor), field emails and texts all hours of the day. We also really valued her honesty in assessing the fair value of the homes we visited, and her ability to discern what would be ideal for us vs. another couple. Even after we've moved in, Francie continues to be an invaluable resource and welcoming neighbor!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are beyond thrilled with Francies professional, kind, and responsive representation of us in the sale of our home. Its always difficult to let go of a much-loved home, but Francie made the process of selling stress-free. She is an excellent communicator who has her finger on the pulse of the Rivertowns especially. She raised her family here and her love of the area shines through in all that she does. Thank you Francie!

Review for Member: Francie Malina
ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie Malina and her team were superb from the start. Her team helped prepare my home for showing. She explained everything to me from the market analysis of the region, pricing and marketing stategy. She was extremely professional and always answered my questions in a timely manner. After each showing, I would get helpful feedback. I could not be happier as my house went into contract much quicker than I would have predicted. I would not hesitate to use Francie again and highly recommend her without reservations. All my neighbors know Francie and have nothing but great things to say about her.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe just closed on a home that checked all of our boxes and is right in the heart of the village we had hoped to be in, and it was all thanks to Francie! Francie's experience, knowledge, and demeanor were so reassuring for me and my husband, first time homebuyers looking for our first home during a pandemic. In addition to searching in an unbelievably competitive market, my husband and I were not familiar with the homebuying process in NY, which can be a bit daunting. Francie got us through all of it and was so down to earth and approachable through it all. She answered every phone call, text, and email; helped us navigate bidding wars; and gave us great advice when it came to deciding whether to make an offer on a home. Francie's experience and connections helped us in finding an inspector we trusted as well as other service professionals. Her knowledge of the Rivertowns is amazing and just what we needed to feel at home in a new town. We are so happy we chose to work with her and can't recommend her and her team enough!

ZillowVERIFIEDExcellent in every aspect of the home buying & selling process. The best! We looked at many houses with Francie and every single time she was patient, informative, caring and guided us along the way. We learned so much from her and her team. we HIGHLY recommend Francie & the Francie Melina team. They are THE BEST in New York! Selling & buying a home during a pandemic is not easy but Francie's team made the entire process easy and smooth. We're so grateful for all of them. THE - BEST! period.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie expertly guided me and my spouse through a move (with two young children) to the river towns from out of state. She listened to what we wanted, make recommendations on the basis of what we were trying to achieve, and never, ever pressured us to accept anything that wasn't right for us. She was trying to help us find our dream home, not simply close on any deal. She answered all of our questions quickly and professionally, provided expert guidance at a number of house visits, helped us strategize about how to navigate various challenges (during a pandemic no less), and metaphorically held our hand through the ups and downs that inevitably occur in real estate. And, in the end, we got a wonderful home at a reasonable price. Francie has our highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie is the best agent we've worked with in our multiple years of searching for properties. She toured us around multiple neighborhoods and helped us narrow down our list of possibilities, including putting an offer in on our dream house! Highly recommend Francie for her knowledge of the entirety of Westchester; schools, commutes, neighborhoods and property values.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie is, hands-down, the best agent we have ever worked with. She helped us get a great price for our home during the pandemic, an incredibly difficult time. And she helped us purchase a lovely new property in a very competitive situation. Francie's smart, savvy, thorough, and fun. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe consider ourselves lucky to have worked with Francie. She worked diligently to understand what we were looking for, both in terms of price as well as aesthetics, and then worked tirelessly to make that happen. She never pressured us into anything we weren't interested in, was always responsive to our questions/concerns, and helped us along every step of the way. Her knowledge of the area, as well as the people and local networks, is encyclopedic. And even after our home purchase was complete and her job was technically done, she has checked in regularly to make sure we are settling in and adjusting to our new life. You cannot do better than have Francie as your realtor.

Review for Member: Francie Malina
ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie is an absolute pro! She was amazing throughout the whole process of searching, visiting and purchasing our first home - all in the middle of a pandemic. And she never left us hanging. In fact a few days after we closed and the day before we moved in there was a bad storm and a 50 ft tree fell on our house. Technically, Francies job was done. But she did not stop - she helped us contact a roofer, an arborist and even stopped by the house herself. Cant recommend her and her team more highly!

Review for Member: Francie Malina
ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie is the absolute best!!! We worked with Francie for almost two years. There was never a time we felt pressured or rushed. She was patient, showed us any house we asked (and it was always on our schedule), recommended houses for us, and was honest every step of the way. I couldn't recommend a better realtor or team!!

ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie Malina is just extraordinary. She literally knows everything and is just so easy to communicate with about the entire buying process from start to finish. She will stay in touch with you every step of the way, offering guidance and advise whenever you need it. I cannot recommend working with Francie and her team more highly.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrancie helped my husband and I purchase our first home in Irvington, NY. From the start, Francie and her team were great. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, responded quickly to my many questions, and advocated for us during the negotiation process and after. The one thing that really stuck out for us was when Francie took my 2.5 year old daughter to play outside and watched her as she climbed up and down the stairs while my husband and I took our time to tour the house. This sets Francie apart from the rest because she cares about you, your family, and wants you to take the time to make the right decision. We are super grateful to Francie for helping us find our dream house in our dream town.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a great experience with Francie. She is easy to get along with and had local connections to help facilitate our home purchase. We were able to work through some complex negotiations and beat out other buyers.

Review for Member: Francie Malina
ZillowVERIFIEDIf you're buying or selling a house in the river towns, Francie is your person. She has comprehensive knowledge of all homes on/off the market, detailed neighborhood understanding and relationships throughout the community. Francie can zero in on your preferences and doesn't waste your time with properties she knows you won't like. She also was incredibly patient and flexible with us, purchasing a home while living outside the area. Highly recommended.
