About Lara
A text banner describing the group

A real estate transaction is an emotional transaction whether you are a first timer or a seasoned veteran. Lara keeps this philosophy at heart while handling her client’s needs with kitten gloves. After living in the city for 17 years Lara has garnered invaluable experience guiding city-newcomers on the ins and outs of apartment hunting in the Big Apple through her diligence, discretion, and attention to detail. With a high volume hospitality background.  Lara excels at thinking quickly on her feet while keeping a steady hand. There is no better feeling than coming out of a complicated deal with a happy and triumphant client (well, except for the taste of ice cream, fresh bread, or a really exceptional pickle). But this is a close second!

Hailing from Puerto Rico, to attend Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, Lara has lived in a variety of neighborhoods. She affectionately calls Brooklyn home, most recently having moved to Bedstuy after well over a decade in and around East Williamsburg. Lara was first bewitched by the melting pot of culture and history that lives on within the walls of this great city. Her favorite part of Real Estate is walking into a beautiful space that has been preserved but largely untouched for decades, that juju speaks volumes.

Bilingual in Spanish and English (and artistic-type) Lara assists a wide range of clients. She is a self-proclaimed music junkie and can be found spending much of her hard-earned dollars on concert tickets. She also recently took up adventure bike-packing. She would be happy to talk your ear off about it.

Lara is a member of the McHale & Atlas team.

★★★★★
"My broker Lara Quiñones on this team has been amazing and done a fantastic job selling my studio in the midst of uncertainty about rising interest rates. In addition to getting my studio staged beautifully and her very dedicated efforts to show it, she also provided me with the guidance and support I needed to get through this emotional process. I am so grateful for her outstanding work and highly recommend her." - Yasha

★★★★★
"Lara Quiñones helped us purchase our first NYC home. We came into the process knowing absolutely nothing. She made the entire thing a breeze and never once let us get overwhelmed by it all. She is prompt, honest, and beyond knowledgeable. She went above and beyond in all cases. She went so far as to instagram DM folks to help us get to the bottom of some potential red flags with an apartment. Her hard work saved us money, time, and stress. We will be recommending her to everyone we possibly can. We feel so lucky to have worked with her." - Sarah O

★★★★★
Lara Quinones is the most qualified, capable and caring realtor I have ever worked with. I have participated in over 35 real estate transactions and she is a GEM. She gave us very sound advice about selling our Brooklyn apartment and even helped in staging it for photos. The purchase of a new apartment in Brooklyn hit many unforeseen snags, but nothing rattled her. She came up with creative solutions that resulted in our purchase of a phenomenal apartment that we hope to own forever. I only wish I I was able to give her more than 5 gold stars as she deserves it. I will always be grateful for everything she did to enable us to understand the ever changing real estate market. THANK YOU LARA! - Neal H.
