Celebrating 15 Years of Leadership, Heart & Vision – Happy Anniversary, Mandy!

Fifteen years ago, our fearless leader Mandy Friend Gigliotti earned her real estate license — and in 2013, The Friend Team officially came to life. What started as a dream to serve clients with genuine care and friendship has grown into one of the top real estate teams in Rochester and the Finger Lakes region.

💛 A Legacy of Leadership

Over the past decade, Mandy has not only led The Friend Team to help thousands of local families buy and sell homes — she’s built a culture rooted in trust, gratitude, and community. Her vision has shaped every client experience, every event, and every “forever friend” we’ve made along the way.

🏡 A Balancing Act Like No Other

If you know Mandy, you know she wears many hats. From renovating a new home to running five businesses alongside her husband, Ed, to raising a growing family — she somehow manages it all with grace, grit, and laughter. She’s our leader, mentor, and steady hand when the world feels chaotic (and yes, sometimes our therapist, too!).

🌟 Grateful for the Dream She Built

We’re endlessly thankful for Mandy — not just for the success she’s led us to, but for the community she’s created. Her heart for people and passion for helping others have turned this business into something so much bigger: a family.

Today, we celebrate 15 incredible years of impact, growth, and friendship.
Here’s to you, Mandy — for all you’ve built, all you’ve given, and all the light you continue to bring to Rochester real estate and beyond.

💛 With love,
Your Forever Friends at The Friend Team
