Became a friend thru process of her helping us buy a home, and brought her back in to sell it.B.B. Larchmont

Working with Pollena Forsman to sell our home was an absolute pleasure. Pollena took on a uniquely challenging project for the sale of our customized, recently built home in the Larchmont Manor. When we hired Pollena early in 2011, it was evident to us that her top priority was to meet our needs and work in our best interest according to our timeframe regardless of market pressures. Pollena keeps in mind the very personal element of selling a home. She has such a crucial expertise when it comes to real estate in the Larchmont community. Pollena could easily switch gears depending on what the market would bring and also think on her feet to capture all possibilities at hand. We were deciding between selling and renting our home and knew it would be a process to ultimately find the right fit. Pollena listened to our continuously changing needs and was flexible with her strategies based on where we were in the process. She calmly endured the dynamic process regardless of how much extra work this required on her end. In addition, the majority of this project and final transaction was completed while we were living abroad due to a recent family relocation. Thus, we trusted Pollena to work closely with our house management team on our behalf for the preparation of our home for showing, renting and, consequently, handing the keys to the new owners without even having us back in the country full time. Pollena seamlessly partnered with us, clearly rising above and beyond the usual responsibilities or expectations of an agent. Even with our plus 5 hours time difference, she was always readily available by phone or email. I highly recommend Pollena Forsman to anyone selling or renting a home, especially in the more exclusive home market.B.L. Larchmont Manor

We retained Pollena to purchase our new home in Rye and sell our home in Larchmont. We found her help in both transactions invaluable. Her ability to work with us to best position our home for sale in the competitive Larchmont market and at the same time explore new neighborhoods, understand pricing in Rye and how to best to present our bid proposal allowed us to really see the value her experience brought to each transaction. She remained involved throughout the process providing recommendations on everything from lenders, counsel, appraisers and home inspectors which also really helped advance both transactions. We would welcome the opportunity to work with her again except we are too happy with our new home for us to see that even in the distant future.A.M. Larchmont & Rye

We originally worked with another agency that tried to sell our house for six months. We asked Pollena for help and she came to our first meeting prepared with information and an initial marketing plan. She gave us customized advice and attention and within a week of our first open house, we had two competing offers! I would recommend her to anyone needing a real estate expert. Shes a pro.A.F LARCHMONT

Through the years, I have dealt with many realtors, both professionally and personally. I feel fortunate to have recently come in contact with Pollena Forsman. I found her to demonstrate a keen business sense that took into consideration the distinctive nature of the home and the realities of the market, without losing sight of the unique emotional ties of the owner. In overseeing the preparation of the property for sale she had an eye for detail that significantly aided the way the home was presented. She then utilized extremely efficient marketing techniques that brought us solid offers much sooner than we ever would have expected. And most important, she communicated quickly and efficiently at every step of the process. Pollena is a professional of the highest order.D.C. Orienta Point

The bottom line is: My wife and I would highly recommend Pollena! We are living in our dream house as a direct result of her effort. Pollena was patient, responsive, and most importantly, she anticipated our needs. At the time we were looking it was at the height of the sellers market, just had our second child and desperate to find something. After losing out on several bidding wars we became extremely frustrated and were just about ready to give up on Larchmont. Luckily we were referred to Pollena. Her level of expertise made all the difference. She gave us straight forward and candid advice, set our expectations and really helped us to understand the market. In the end we have her to thank for our dream home in Larchmont. Her patience, market knowledge and personal attention made all the difference. We have since referred several of our friends to her and they have be equally pleased.J.S. Larchmont

Thank you for handling the listing, marketing and sale of our property located at 8 Grove Avenue, Larchmont on June 30, 2014. As you know, we conducted an exhaustive interview of four (4) top brokers from three leading real estate firms prior to your selection. Not only did you possess a command of the real estate marketplace, you also had extensive and specific knowledge of the nuances between competing homes and neighborhood . This experience, coupled with your sales and marketing background, greatly assisted in our negotiations with other brokers and their clients to achieve the best possible sale price. Pollena, you dedicated much thought and time to our assignment. You were creative, methodical and strategic in how we presented the property to buyers in the marketplace, and these efforts sold me on your involvement. In closing, all of these factors combined with your tireless work ethic made our relationship a great one!G.S. Larchmont

Pollenas position as the leading broker of residential real estate in Westchester County is well deserved. Her experience and market knowledge is vast and her advice and guidance throughout the entire marketing and closing process is invaluable. I retained Pollena as agent for the sale of my property in Larchmont Manor and had an excellent experience. Pollena is extremely professional, highly committed and intensely focused. Her comprehensive knowledge of transactions in the Westchester real estate market combined with her keen sense of market sentiment and trends make Pollena a valuable resource, particularly when seeking to develop a successful marketing strategy under challenging conditions. Pollena is also extremely personable and a pleasure to work with. I have recommended Pollena to many friends and will continue to do so enthusiastically and without reservation.J.D.

Pollena was wonderful to work with! We were first-time home buyers and new to the area. From day one, we knew we would be in good hands. Pollena patiently answered questions and was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the homes and neighborhoods we visited. She worked with us over the course of nearly a year (and did everything from recommending engineers, inspectors and babysitters to connecting us to new families to distracting our children while we were viewing homes!) and made the experience a lot less stressful than it usually is. We are extremely grateful for her help and highly recommend her!L.M. Larchmont

Pollena was a pleasure to work with...but not simply because of her pleasant personality. She grounded our pricing strategy in an aggressive but realistic assessment of Larchmont home values at a key point in the real estate cycle. She saw positives when other potential listing brokers focused on potential negatives. She did her homework and helped us to demonstrate that third-floor living space was original to our house, an important selling point to prospective families. And she worked with us every step of the way, including providing a recommendation for a great stager.G.M. & J.M Larchmont Manor
