"Navigating the purchase of our first NYC CO-OP was challenging (to say the least). Alex's guidance made all the difference. His dedication and fortitude shone through as he assembled the notorious CO-OP application book...not an exaggeration. That is just one example of his "above and beyond" attitude and work ethic. Alex's patience and positivity turned an overwhelming process into a manageable and successful journey, going from renter to owner. His ability to parse through and explain the overly complex NYC real estate market while maintaining a supportive and positive outlook was so appreciated. I would wholly recommend Alex Mecum! If you need to hear it from the horse's mouth please let us know. " - Christina and Brian

""Alex was such a great help throughout the entire process. As a first time home owner and never having lived in the city, I knew nothing about buying an apartment in the city and all the different options out there. He constantly made sure I was well informed about the types of properties out there and he also debriefed with me after every apartment tour for thoughts and things to keep in mind. He made sure to keep my needs in mind when looking for potential spots. The process was tedious and there were times when I didn’t think it would work out, but he continued to support me throughout and I was finally able to get my first place. He also helped with keeping me on track with timelines until the very end. Would definitely recommend working with him!""- Bansri

""My husband and I worked with Alex to purchase our first apartment in NYC, and we are very happy with his assistance and our purchase. After a long search for an apartment to buy during COVID, and a failed deal we worked on with a different agent, we contacted Alex to assist us. The difference in working with him vs the other broker we had was tremendous! During the search for the right property, his communication was factual, timely, and overall to the point. He clearly acted in our interest in the first place: he gave us space and time to think and tour as many apartments as we felt we needed, he shared his opinion even if it wasn't in favor of a certain property. He was patient, wasn't pushy at all, and he was honest. It was so pleasant and easy to work with him. He really assisted us rather than acted as another factor pressuring us to make a decision. During the process of the application submission and closing the deal, he was efficient, quick to respond and always available to help us. We just couldn't say enough good words about him and we feel so lucky that we happened to work with him.""Victoria & Igor

"As first time home buyers, having Alex as our broker was the best decision we made! Alex helped us find our dream home in UWS! Alex is professional, resourceful, trustworthy and fun to work with. He made a lot of efforts to build connections with us, understand our preferences and customize the listings based on our needs. He made the house buying process easy by making each tour efficient, negotiating with the seller’s brokers, and always staying on top of everything. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Alex to anyone who’s looking for your first or next dream home!""- Mitch and Nicole

"Alex made my process of housing exploration and acquisition go smoothly. He facilitated setting up viewings and guided me throughout the purchase process. Some of his notable actions include referring a home inspector, negotiating a better offer and ensuring that the action items before closing were executed. I had a great experience working with him."- - Xavier

"I've worked with Alex Mecum to find apartments twice now and would do it a third time. Like others have said, he is a breath of fresh air in the sometimes-shady apartment hunt world. Alex really got to the heart of what I was looking for and seeing an apartment with him was never a waste of time. Twice he went above and beyond my expectations - the best time I was locked out of my apartment and he went back to his office after hours to pick up spare keys for me. I highly recommend Alex." - William

"Alex helped us out, and he REALLY knew his stuff, didn't waste our time looking at places that weren't what we wanted, and was never pushy. 95% of their places are no-fee, too. (Such a contrast in every way to other brokers and companies). They followed through politely via email, were always available, and left us feeling really satisfied with the experience." - Theresa
★★★★★
"Alex did a tremendous job at selling my apartment every step of the way. I could not be more happy with a real estate broker. I wholeheartedly recommend him and his team for renting and selling which I have experienced both."
★★★★★
"Jon and I really appreciate your efforts throughout this process, from trying to rent the apartment to handling the sale of it. It has given us peace of mind knowing that you were acting as our advocate with potential clients. Thank you for your prompt turnaround on any questions we had, and your professionalism while dealing with extremely difficult people.. If we can be of help in providing a referral, please don’t hesitate to let us know. It has been a pleasure working with you." - Reshma and Jon"

"Alex was an invaluable member of our team as we searched for and ultimately found our home in NYC. He was critical to helping us understand the complexities and nuances of the NYC coop and condo real estate market. He guided us at every step of the process with patience and professionalism. He answered all of our questions, helped us pivot our search when necessary, and pointed us to the properties that were most aligned with our needs and wants. Alex’s experience in this unique market also streamlined our process once we found our place, counseling us through the offer, negotiation, co-op board review, and inspection of our home. We couldn’t be happier with our home and we have Alex to thank for helping us find it and guiding us through this process. "- Emily & Karthik"
