They put in the time and effort to make sure our home was presented beautifully, marketed effectively, and given every opportunity to stand out.

Fantastic experience: Joe Houlihan and Joanne Zach were wonderful to work with. They guided us in our home purchase 7 years ago as we moved from out of state as well as the sale of that same home prior to another move. Joe and Joanne’s evaluation of the market, advice on setting up the home for showings, referrals to contractors for minor work and attention to producing a beautiful brochure and online listing all contributed to a quick sale with a great price. We highly recommend this dedicated team!

Fantastic experience: As a first time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jo Ann Novello Hill and Michele Lasich Pagnotta guiding me. From start to finish, they had so much patience, kindness, and professionalism. They took the time to explain every step clearly, answered all my questions, and always made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. What really stood out was how genuinely caring and understanding they were —- it felt more like working with family than with real estate agents. This should have been overwhelming, but they made the whole journey smooth and stress-free. I’m truly grateful for all their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Joe Houlihan of Houlihan & O’Malley by a colleague, and I'm very glad we met. Joe helped me purchase a co-op apartment in Bronxville, NY, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Joe is incredibly knowledgeable about the market. His professionalism stood out immediately, but the experience was also enjoyable. Joe is highly personable, responsive, and proactive. He anticipated my needs and made sure I was informed and confident in my decisions. Joe really went above and beyond with the co-op application. He gave me clear guidance in assembling a strong package and managed the entire process beautifully. As a local agent, he is well connected, and those personal relationships make a difference. I could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend Joe to everyone. He's a true professional and just a pleasure to work with. Russell

Fantastic experience: Joe is an expert. He guided us through our entire move, our purchase, our sale, everything. We found a perfect place through Joe and the transaction was seamless.

Fantastic experience: JoAnn Novello Hill from Houlihan and O'Malley is the absolute best! She went above and beyond for my husband and I to find our perfect home. She is so detailed and knowledgeable in her field. If you are looking for a realtor in the Bronx, Westchester County or Putnam County she is the person for you!

Fantastic experience: The devil is in the details and Joe Houlihan is all about the details. Experience and patience got us through the process and would not hesitate to use Joe and staff for another real estate purchase.

Fantastic experience: Working with Joe and his team, in selling my coop, was a positive and successful experience from start to finish. Joe's keen market research, sales promotion, and communication skills secured many showings which lead to a SALE! I highly recommend Houlihan & O'Malley.

Fantastic experience: 12 years ago, Joe Houlihan provided outstanding service on the sale of my house in Bronxville. Therefore, in 2024, when I was ready to sell my co-op, I immediately contacted him to represent me. Once again, Joe provided outstanding service. I closed on the sale in October and received a good price for my co-op. Joe is a great Realtor and a true professional. His knowledge of the market is both deep and wide. His understanding of the unique nature of a co-op sale; that is, Co-op Board approval and Westchester County's Minimum Financial Requirements law, is key to any sale of a co-op. From the beginning of the process to the close of the sale, Joe gave me great advice. He advised me to de-clutter some of my excess items to show the co-op at its best. He arranged for a photographer and developed sales brochures (which included renderings of alternative furniture layouts). Joe held 3 open houses. At all times, he kept me informed. Joe also referred a real estate lawyer and a moving company; each was a very good referral. All employees of Houlihan & O'Malley were pleasant to work with and responsive. In summary, Joe expertly covered every detail of this sale. He made it a smooth, painless and successful transaction for me.

Fantastic experience: Michele and Joann were a great team! As a first time buyer of a co op, I had no idea of what I was doing but they seamlessly blended their extensive knowledge of the real estate world with what I needed and wanted. They advised me of co ops to stay away from due to over pricing or general conditions "You don't want to live here!" is a memorable one. Joann and Michele also guided me to the co op I did buy. "This is it, this is the one, this one is perfect!" I also still laugh to myself when I think back at us looking at places together. They are so fun and funny together! I would work with Joann and Michele again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience: We are so grateful to have had Joe Houlihan as our realtor. He provided us tremendous guidance as we prepared our home for sale. Joe’s expertise and research of the market helped us to price our home correctly. He made sure every showing was perfect. Joe’s experience and patience through the delicate negotiation process was top notch. He stayed with us through the closing and all the little things that popped up. Joe is simply the best!

Fantastic experience: I chose Joe Houlihan to sell my mother's co-op because I had witnessed firsthand his kindness, understanding and support for a friend of mine who was selling her home. His advice to me during the listing and selling process was right on target and I'm so glad I listened to what he suggested. He knows the market and the best way to present a home to get top dollar. He is reputable, knowledgeable, accessible and fun! I highly recommend Joe without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: After a rather protracted process, we finally closed on our co-op. Joe Houlihan was steadfast and determined to see to it that we sold our apartment. The strategic photos, brochures and advice he provided us all helped. He constantly updated us on every conversation he had with other realtors who brought potential buyers to view our property. We were never, ever left in the dark. He remained calm throughout which, in turn, kept us calm. Joe's years of experience and a "sixth sense" about real estate are traits that make him a master broker. We have and will continue to recommend Joe without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Starting off, we thought hunting for our place would be a long, drawn-out saga. But Hadee Morgan somehow just "got" us, and we found a place much, much quicker than expected! She knows the area well and asked all the right questions to understand our needs, and then she worked her magic. Okay, but finding the right place is just half the challenge. Hadee and her team were also amazing in helping us through the complicated coop approval process (we were new to the whole procedure). She was always there for us and went above and beyond to assist with our specific needs. Working with Hadee was awesome from start to finish, and I can't praise her highly enough. It was like working with a friend who knows all the ins and outs of real estate. Without reservation, I recommend Hadee, Joe, and the behind-the-scenes team at Houlihan & O'Malley!

Fantastic experience: Can’t thank Joe enough for helping with the entire process of selling my late Mothers Coop in Bronxville. It was a difficult situation and Joe jumped in with both feet, and arms, to help us in so many ways. Highly, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Joe was incredibly responsive and proactive in helping us navigate the home buying process. Joe offered a wealth of knowledge from his many years of experience and responded thoughtfully to our questions, always taking a measured approach to each situation. We can't recommend Joe highly enough!

Fantastic experience: We knew Joe was the best when we first contacted him about selling our home. His assignment of the agent's responsibilities to Michele Pagnotta only confirmed our decision.. She worked hard and kept us focused on the job at hand. She was available 24/7 to deal with any questions or issues that arose. She was quick to keep us informed of any new developments and was willing and able to provide meaningful constructive input.. They make one hell of a team!!! input

Fantastic experience: I recommend Joe Houlihan without reservation.He is highly professional, knowledgeable, patient and competent along with having a good sense of humor. He found the coop apartment I was looking for and sold the coop apartment I was leaving during a period of rising inflation and mortgage rates.He made a trying experience easier because of his attention to detail and generosity in assisting both his client and all others involved to insure a successful outcome. All the other staff I met at Houlihan and O'Malley were welcoming and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Hi, I worked with Hadee Morgan for buying the house in Scarsdale. How was my experience? I will never go to any other agent, I will deal only with her. She is brilliant and makes perfect anything she is doing. She works for you, and your interests are her top priority. She is precise, with great attention to detail, she is guiding you at any step of the complicated procurement process, and a very, very, very, important point - timely communication. I am grateful for the amazing home she secured for me for a reasonable price.

Fantastic experience: Both Joe and Joanne were extremely helpful in advising us on the additional changes/improvements that we needed to show our home. And it was worth it because we closed with the listing price in a challenging market during interest rate increases. Thank you Joe and Joanne

Fantastic experience: As well as successfully selling our home of almost 40 years, Joe Houlihan did a fantastic job guiding and supporting us through a complex apartment acquisition process.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Joanne Zach from Houlihan & O'Malley Real Estate who helped me find and purchase my lovely co-op apartment in Bronxville. Joanne is an experienced, well-informed and hard-working agent. The process of buying property can be exciting, but also very stressful with some feelings of doubt or apprehension. Joanne was very helpful in helping me to remain calm and stay focused. She was very caring and resourceful. She patiently answered my many questions and concerns about the property and about navigating the purchase process. I was very fortunate to work with a diligent and caring real estate agent like Joanne Zach. I highly recommend and thank Joanne for her wonderful service.

Fantastic experience: Working with Joe and his team made the grueling process of home shopping a delight! Joe is extremely experienced, an expert in the area, and a great communicator which made the entire process easy.

Fantastic experience: Our agent, Hadee Morgan was incredible. She listened to our needs and found the perfect apartment for us.

Fantastic experience: Joe and his agent Michelle were unfailingly helpful when we sold our Armour Villa home. It turned into a longer process that we had expected, but Joe was always there to assist and recommend next steps. We felt we were in good hands throughout, with his calm and deeply knowledgeable responses to every twist and turn. We had interviewed 5 agencies before signing to sell with his firm, and never doubted we had taken the right decision. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Let me start this review by saying Joe Houlihan is the best at what he does! In the past I have dealt with many real estate agents that all pale in comparison to Joe. The house needed some work to prepare it for sale.All of the contractors that Joe connected me with were excellent!He made a very complicated project easy.In conclusion if you’re thinking of selling a house in Bronxville or Tuckahoe New York,I would not consider using anyone else!

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased to recommend most highly the real estate brokerage and consulting services offered by Joanne Zach and the whole team at Houlihan & O'Malley ("HOM") Real Estate Services in Bronxville, New York. Joanne and her team helped me not merely to sell my late parents' home in Crestwood (Yonkers) but helped me with every aspect of getting the house ready for the market. The house needed a good deal of preparation including emptying the substantial contents (furniture, etc.), new roofs, gutters and leaders on the house and garage, asbestos removal, a new driveway, exterior and interior repairs and painting, refinished floors, and other substantial work. Joanne and her team found and recommended excellent, reasonably priced contractors to undertake all these tasks. Once the preparations were completed, Joanne researched the comparable listings to ascertain the best asking price for the house, which was well above what it would have been without the preparation work, i.e., I much more than recovered my renovations investment. On a Thursday, Joanne mounted an aggressive online sale listing with excellent, interactive photography including virtually staged interior shots. By Monday, 41 people had viewed the house, and we had 10 offers with the one I accepted more the $40,000.00 higher than the asking price. HOM hosted the closing meeting, which completed smoothly in under 90 minutes. My current real estate project is to find myself a larger apartment in Bronxville, and I am happy to work again with Joanne and the winning HOM team.

Fantastic experience: Joe is the absolute best. After having our house on the market for six months, we needed a change. Joe's approach was both analytical and stylistic with doses of humility and bias for action. He helped us make small tweaks that made the difference and put in the time and energy to market the property the right way. Less than three weeks later we had multiple offers and were above our target price all thanks to Joe. As we moved through the transaction long distance, Joe was there to make sure everything was done to close on time, even if it meant a little more work on his part. We really appreciated that and hadn't had that level of dedication with prior selling agents. There are lots of choices in Bronxville and the PO, but no one we dealt with previously had Joe's expertise, honesty, and human touch. Thank you Joe.

Fantastic experience: Joe Houlihan very patiently showed us many houses in different neighborhoods over the past few years. We finally found the perfect home in a neighborhood that was right for our family. He was amazing at walking us through the process of buying a new home while selling our old home (in 3 days with a bidding war and over asking price). Both transactions went smoothly with Joe helping us through all the steps along the way. His years of experience, knowledge, and expertise on the housing market in Westchester were a huge asset to us. My wife and I highly recommend Joe Houlihan and his team if you are looking to buy and/or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Joe is the consummate professional. Highly responsive, knowledgeable, and an expert in the locality. Joe made a complicated process easy and worry-free. Simply excellent.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Ray Inello for about a year prior to purchasing our first home. He was extremely knowledgeable, very honest, and so patient with us as we were nervous first time home owners. We appreciated his honest advice when looking at homes. You can tell he is working in real estate because he loves it, not just to make a quick sale. Highly recommend! Thank you, Ray!

Fantastic experience: Joe Houlihan and his team managed both sides of our recent move. They found our new home for us and managed logistics and nuances flawlessly in the purchase process. On the sale side, Joe and his team sold our home with strategy and grace -- getting us to our exact desired sale price at the desired time. On both the purchase and the sale, Joe and his team handled our needs with empathy and action. We felt we had a true partner in this endeavor — one with the expertise, market intelligence, organizational capacity, and drive to get it all done during a truly unprecedented year.

Fantastic experience: In very tough and unpredictable real estate market, Joe Houlihan stuck by me, and got my place sold, even after we lost the first buyer to a pandemic related economic shift. Highly recommended- Hire this company!

Fantastic experience: Joe Houlihan provides the unique combined skills of an appraiser and a highly professional broker. He knows the facts, he knows every property in the area and he has lots of great ideas for presenting a house in its best light. It’s a tough sellers market right now which makes the brokers job much more difficult. Joe keeps the pressure on the market. We highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Joe did an excellent job of guiding us through a downsizing that was very emotional! Gentle, but focused and consistent, he was excellent at setting out our options, and it all came together with immediate interest and sale! We were so pleased with Joe's level of service and commitment and would highly recommend him with complete confidence.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Ray Inello over the past several months to make our first home purchase. There are so many moving pieces to the home-buying experience and Ray made things easier at every single step of the way. He was THE voice we could rely on for objective, quick, comprehensive help for all of our questions (even the silly ones). We wouldn't have been able to comfortably go through this process without him. If you're looking to buy or sell, it's hard to imagine a better partner.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Ray to purchase a home over a few month period in 2019. He was able to move the process along very smoothly and answer all the questions we had. He gave us a strong voice in negotiating and during closing which was extremely helpful.

Fantastic experience: Recently, with the help of overall guidance from Joe Houlihan and the day to day work of Joanne Zach I was able to facilitate the purchase of a wonderful 1 bedroom coop in the Bronxville/Yonkers area. I thought this was going to be a painful process. It was the complete opposite. We got an excellent sense of the marketplace through a complete screening of appropriate listings, visited a subset based on our availability, identified several attractive apartments, reviewed a very complete set of comparable data negotiated a price on one and closed within 3 weeks of board approval. It was obvious that having an experienced agent working at a reputable firm with a high degree of integrity was the key to successfully executing this transaction. I would not hesitate to recommend Joanne and Houlihan & O'Malley to anyone considering living in this area.

Fantastic experience: I worked with both Joe and Michelle. This is a high level real estate firm. Widely experienced. The house looked spectacular in the brochure created for it and on line. House only on the market for in 3 weeks.

Fantastic experience: Joe Houlihan did a terrific job in ensuring the timely close of my deal. He has expert knowledge of the coop market in Bronxville and it's environs and was helpful at each stage of the process. He is friendly and helpful and trustworthy. I would strongly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: We recently sold our Crestwood home of fifty-plus years using Joe Houlihan of Houlihan and O'Malley Real Estate. It was an emotional time and Joe provided all the support to make this a pleasant experience. Joe helped us with every aspect and was extremely patient with us. He answered all questions and gave us answers and options for everything. He greatly reduced our stress level! Joe went above and beyond even on the morning of the closing, arranging for contractors to take care of minor problems to avoid any delays! He remained on the premises to make sure everything was completed. We thank Joe and his team for everything they did for us!

Fantastic experience: Joe Houlihan is a fantastic broker. He was by far the most helpful broker we've worked with on a home purchase. He has deep knowledgeable and years of experience in and around the Bronxville market. We would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Joanne Zach promised to walk with us through the whole complicated process of renovating the house we wanted to sell. She did, contacting and overseeing all kinds of workmen to produce a wonderful outcome. Then she found the perfect couple to purchase this house as their first home.

Fantastic experience: I met Michele and Janet of Houlihan O'Malley in September 2018 when I was buying my first apartment. They are fantastic, the best agents you can ever have. They brought not only professionalism and patience to my search and purchase, but also insight and knowledge. They always have my best interest at heart. They made the stressful purchasing much much easier. I truly enjoy working with them.

Fantastic experience: Michele of Houlihan O’Malley is a true gem! She helped us sell our apartment and purchase our new home with ease. Michele got us top dollar for our unit when we sold and was diligent in getting us a fair price on the purchase end. She was extremely thorough and responsive to our family needs. We could not have asked for a better experience! The Houlihan O’Malley office is a fantastic team that still maintains that personal, small town feel while being professional and competitive.

Fantastic experience: Michele and Janet were my agents buying a co-op in White Plains. They are super professional, very passionate and they do their homework. I could not have expected anyone better than them.

Fantastic experience: Joe Houlihan is a remarkably knowledgeable, dedicated and energetic agent who helped us through a very difficult sale of our home. He went way beyond the call of duty in hiring people to empty out the house, get it ready for sale and resolve a serious title issue with the city. I highly recommend him and his firm.

Fantastic experience: The realtors at Houlihan & O'Malley are excellent; in particular, Steven Angelilli truly went above-and-beyond throughout the long process, every step along the way. Highly recommend to others, and will personally certainly enlist their services again in future!
