We're pleased to welcome veteran real estate professional and lifelong New Rochelle resident Michelina Arminio as the new leader of our New Rochelle and Pelham teams.

Michelina, whose real estate career spans 16 years, has won several sales awards, is a member of the National Association of Realtors, NYS Association of Realtors, Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, (HGAR); Accredited Buyer’s Representative and Women’s Council of Realtors.

She replaces Deborah DeGiacomo, who is retiring after 10 years managing the two offices. During her decade-long tenure at both, DeGiacomo increased transactions more than 144%, adding more than $91 million in volume growth.

“With her strong industry background and deep community roots, we believe Michelina will be an excellent leader for our New Rochelle and Pelham agents,” remarked our President, Chris Meyers.

Michelins joins us from Keller Williams, where she was a Team Leader. Prior to real estate, she led a career in advertising at Young and Rubicam, where she developed outstanding customer service skills working one-on-one with such clients as Jell-O, U.S. Postal Service, U.S. Army, Ericsson, Lycra and DuPont. She also worked at News Corporation and the United States Tennis Association before starting a family and launching a successful career in real estate. She and her husband, John, have three children.

“I’m delighted to represent the region’s premier real estate brokerage in the place I’ve known and loved my entire life,” Michelina added. “I look forward to being a part of this incredibly talented team.”
