Julia Connor

★★★★★
"We had a terrific experience buying our first home with Julia Connor in a very competitive market. We navigated 40% price increases over the past two years, while also staring down surging interest rates this spring. It was obviously a tough environment, but Julia helped us every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend her and the Francie Malina Team. Julia essentially did the impossible by finding a home in an elite part of Westchester for under a million dollars (not to mention negotiating down tens of thousands on the closing price). She helped us thread the needle by fine tuning our offers so we could get the right trade off between the lowest interest rate and the lowest price on a house that we loved. We got past the most heated part of the market and negotiated a great deal (~450 / sqft in a tier 1 neighborhood), but also locked in a rate before they soared. Julia had her finger on the pulse, and I was impressed by her combination of business savvy and real estate fundamentals. Aside from the dollars and cents, Julia helped us in every way imaginable from advising us on how (and whether) to write letters to owners to going through our final inspection so carefully that she made recommendations on our construction punchlist. She’s exacting but also creative, relaxed, and personable. She got to know us and our preferences and understood what we needed vs. wanted, and tried to make sure we got both. There are a million other things I haven’t mentioned, like pulling records, helping us get into the right schools, and knowing the best contractors, architects, lawyers. Did I mention she had to show us like a dozen houses to get all these variables perfect? She was honest, helpful, and meticulous — the complete package. I help investors buy single family rental homes in my day job, and I wish the institutional acquisition teams were as good as Julia. I can’t say enough." -Mike R

"Appreciate all the help that your team, particularly Julia, has provided to us. It has actually exceeded my expectations. She is a big factor in achieving this outcome, and I do mean that sincerely. Her very quick responses, availability always, thorough follow-throughs on a variety of matters ... and all that while being quite pleasant to work with and always wearing a smile - these are remarkable attributes of a real estate agent. My guess is that she is among the top in your peer groups. "- Niru Dave

"Julia Connor was my agent and to say that she went above and beyond is an understatement. Thanks to Julia, the first place of interest to me, she was able to get the specific details on the space to help me make a true educated choice. The place I went in to contract with and ultimately purchased had more than its fair share of process issues and she was leading me every step of the way, solving each issue as they happened. Julia was ALWAYS available to help and to answer any and all questions! " - Becky
