Francie Malina
Francie Malina is more than an award-winning, top-producing agent, she’s a powerful force in the Westchester market and a highly sought-after industry thought leader.
As the No. 1 agent in the Rivertowns and consistently ranked among the top 5 in all of Westchester County, Francie brings unparalleled energy, knowledge, commitment and professionalism to everything she does. Her list of awards is impressive, but as her numerous, glowing client testimonials make clear, her reputation for honesty and integrity is far more important. As the leader of The Francie Malina Team, she insists on making client satisfaction the group’s highest priority and espouses a simple but compelling philosophy — professional, hassle-free service with a smile. Francie provides every buyer and seller with the same exceptional attention and loyalty that she expects when hiring a professional.
Francie is also a formidable industry presence and dynamic presenter with a nationwide reputation for her expertise and insights. Through her involvement as a Women of Compass Westchester Leader, Co-Founder of the Women of Compass Clubhouse and a Founding Member of Realm Global, a worldwide luxury real estate think tank, Francie keeps her finger on the pulse of issues affecting the market.
A successful Westchester realtor since 2010 and an active resident of the Rivertowns for over 28 years, Francie’s comprehensive knowledge of the market and all things Westchester gives her clients a tremendous advantage. Moreover, the financial savvy she gained through years at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York makes her a uniquely qualified partner and collaborator for buyers and sellers throughout the Rivertowns of Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow and Ardsley.
Originally from Connecticut, Francie earned a bachelor’s degree in managerial economics from Union College and attended the NYU Stern School of Business. Married with two children, she transitioned from New York City to the Rivertowns in 1992 and has immersed herself in community life ever since. In her free time, Francie enjoys skiing, hiking and spending quality time with her family.
