★★★★★
"Francie Malina and her team exceeded my expectations by orders of magnitude. Not only did she secure multiple bids for my home (during a buyers market!), but she remained extremely present and available during the entire transaction and negotiated an excellent price and terms for my home. Francie and her team approached the deal with a wonderful human element, always conscious that behind both sides of a transaction are families. The most striking part of the entire transaction is that, unlike most agents, Francies job did not end the day she received her check. She continues to not only be helpful to my family but to the buyers who purchased my home and they weren't even her clients. Her follow through is extraordinary, her intelligence, knowledge of the market and attention to detail unmatched and her kindness stands alone in this industry. I would give 10 stars if I could." - Cheryl, Irvington
★★★★★
"If you are considering buying a home in Westchester, specifically the Rivertowns, look no further. My wife and I were one of many moving from Brooklyn to the suburbs. Afraid, scattered, uncertain of what we wanted, uncertain of what we could afford, and not sure where to live or which town to look in. Luckily for us we had Francie. She was so informative, knows everything about everything/anything in the Rivertowns. From where you want to live in each town to what electrician and plumber to hire after you buy the . She has friends at all the schools/local pre-schools to help with the transition of kids to a new town, as well as an endless resource to anything/everything Westchester. She quickly became someone we trusted, and in the end of the day that's what you need when it comes to a realtor." - Mike, Irvington
★★★★★
"As first-time homebuyers, we needed a true and honest partner to be patient with us as we were educated on homeownership, while in the actual process at the same time. Francie was every bit of that and more through the entire process, even able to give guidance on all of Westchester as we narrowed in on our town of choice. She delivered the best partners in the business when it came time for inspections, etc. Even now, a month into owning our home, she’s still in touch with us sending local happenings and contacts, making the transition to a new town that much easier! Francie proved time after time to be an exceptional individual first, then followed by first hand display of why she is considered a top realtor by all. Truly, we feel like she has become part of our family and excited for whomever has the opportunity to work with her in the future." - Jenna, Tarrytown
★★★★★
"We just moved into our new dream home and Francie is to thank. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market and town and advised us well on everything through the looking and buying process. What we like most about Francie is her total honesty. We never felt like she was trying to sell us something or convince us of anything. She’s great, we highly recommend Francie Malina." - Jessica, Irvington
★★★★★
"It is hard to know where to begin to describe the caliber of service you get when you work with Francie. I have just gone through the process of buying a in Hastings and I am so grateful for her work. I know that we could not have gotten into this market if it were not for her." - Jim, Hastings
★★★★★
"Francie helped to sell our in Dobbs Ferry, and we couldn't be happier. Her knowledge and passion were evident from the moment we met her, and we immediately knew she was the right agent for us. Her communication was great through the entire process. She was always available and immediately answered any questions or concerns that we had. She was dead on with the listing price, and got us top dollar. I can't recommend her enough. If you're looking to buy or sell in the Rivertowns, don't look any further." - Doug, Hastings
