"We could not have asked for a better team than Francie and Catherine to help us navigate the home buying process, especially in this market. They are very knowledgeable, responsive, and honest. They took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for. Catherine was kind and patient with us as we made numerous requests for information to see if the properties we were interested in had a viable pool site. We feel fortunate to have been connected with them (a friend referred them!) and are very happy with our new home!" - Barbara W

"Catherine is so great to work with. As first time homebuyers in a seller’s market, we went through the wringer with a long and tough search. We worked with Catherine just for the home we ended up buying and she helped us secure our home for under list price, with concessions, unheard of in this market. She was very responsive and was happy to answer all of our many, many questions. She had invaluable local knowledge that helped us get all of our inspections done quickly and competently. She always made us a priority and went way above and beyond, working all weekend at times and texting early mornings as things came up. I highly recommend her! We love our new home and especially the deal she was able to get for us!" - Claire & Robin, Armonk

"I wish I could give Catherine more than five stars! She is an amazing realtor who immediately understood what we wanted and needed, and who was able to identify properties we'd like and the ones we wouldn't quickly. Searching for a home is just as much about what you don't want as it is about what you want, and she completely understood what that looked like for our family for a very early phase. An excellent realtor should be capable of anticipating your needs, and that is certainly Cathrine. She has a deep knowledge of the area, as well as useful contacts that helped move the process along. Catherine helped us find our dream home, and enabled us to get into our house quickly. And she's stayed in touch past closing, something I appreciate on a personal level, especially considering I am new to this area. We made a big move from Manhattan to Westchester, and I was a little apprehensive about it. It's a big change! But Catherine made it so easy. I truly can't recommend her enough. In fact, I've already recommended her to a friend, and now Catherine is helping her find her own dream home. I look forward to recommending her again!" - Leslie P.

"My wife and I were buying our first home on Zillow at the end of 2021. We had little idea of what we were doing and needed some guidance and direction. Enter Catherine! We got connected to Catherine through Zillow and we couldn’t have been happier. She was patient, kind, and very knowledgeable about the whole process and dealing with first home owners. We asked all the questions we could think of and she was there every step of the way. The most important part for me throughout our process was the attention and care she was putting into our property. It was obviously a very important purchase to us and we could tel the whole time that Catherine shared and valued that. She helped us put together our team and still follows up to this day checking in to see how we’re doing. 10 of 10, we were very lucky to work with someone who cares." - David M.

"Catherine was amazing from day one. She made us feel comfortable and explained about locality etc. we found our ideal home and Catherine was very helping in the closing process." - Dev P.

"We’ve now bought, sold, and bought again with Francie’s team and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Shana guided us every step of the way through the selling process, bringing her trademark warmth and compassion to a hectic showing schedule (with our 3 kids under 5), all the while delivering on offers that checked all our boxes. On top of that she hustled hustled hustled to find us a rental in the craziest market of all time landing us a place nearby that actually saved us money. There’s really not another one like her. We were incredibly lucky to work with Catherine - an expert in upper-Westchester market - who not only helped us see the potential in our new home, but somehow managed to do so without a bidding war while helping us navigate a 7-month closing…no easy feat. Never without a smile or a kind word, her positivity was infectious even when we thought this market would be the end of us. And it doesn’t stop there - they both have gone out of their way to connect us with friends and businesses in our new hometown, always without prompting. There’s agents and then there’s partners in the home-buying journey. We’re very fortunate to have found the latter in Shana and Catherine!" - Josh and Amy

"Can't say enough about Catherine and the Francie Malina team. Despite a tough market, Catherine was there every step of the way with us and ultimately led us to our home, which we couldn't be happier with. We really trusted Catherine's judgement and knew that she always had our best interests in mind. Can't recommend the team enough."- Matthew and Holli

"We worked with Catherine and she was amazing. It was a very tough market but she was honest and provided good guidance and we ended up with our dream home. Highly recommend!!" - Eileen and David
