"Having Olgierd in your corner when buying real estate in NYC is like having Cus D’Amato as your boxing trainer. He cares as if it is his own purchase, never rushes you, and does not force you to compromise for the sake of commission. How you feel about your new home is his priority and he consults accordingly. He is so well-versed in the process that he will make everything feel effortless (even though buying or selling real estate in NYC is rarely easy!) All and all, it's a great opportunity to have this guy on your side. Don't hesitate to make this decision!" - Davut, Senior Manager at Google

"And the "Oscar" goes....to Olgierd Minkiewicz !!!!
Yes Olgierd, you deserve an Oscar for your spectacular work, professional ethics, devotion for the client, passion and enthusiasm for your realtor job. New York is a jungle of conflicting regulations and restrictions and it is not easy to find an agent who understands this very complicated market and also "difficult clients" as us. Olgierd was the third agent for our house sale. Always available with regular updates and advice about new developments, potential buyers and changes with a crazy market during the highest mortgage rates.
He walked us through the entire process and took time to address all our concerns, doubts and dilemmas. Always very patient with a great energy and sense of humor. Olgierd also possesses fantastic negotiation skills without push and unnecessary pressure. He took care of every matter from the marketing, advertising to the closing process. It was very comforting to feel "safe" knowing that someone is absolutely devoted to our case. Without any hesitation we recommend Olgierd for any real estate transaction. Olgierd is really your dream agent." - Marek and Iwona, Cardiologist and Internist at Private Practice

"We worked with him when we were looking for a place to rent, to buy, and (most recently) to sell our apartment in New York City. Olgierd is very talented and professional for the following reasons: 1. He quickly identified what we needed and what we wanted. When we didn't have a solid idea about which is the best option, he walked us through the process. 2. He was great at negotiating the best prices for us. 3. He always tried to help in every way possible and relieved us from a lot of the burden and stress each time we worked together. 4. He’s careful and thorough with the paperwork, such as offer preparation, sale application, board package etc. We highly recommend Olgierd as your real estate broker!" - Bo, Research Staff Member at IBM

"Olgierd Minkiewicz is an energetic, nimble, creative and resourceful Compass agent. From the moment we were introduced to each other, Olgierd has been responsive to our real estate needs. We were unfamiliar with the process of purchasing a co-op apartment in Manhattan, but Olgierd tutored us every step of the way. After we successfully submitted our offer, I laughingly referred to Olgierd as “Coach”, because that is how deeply he cared about us and making sure we succeeded in our board interview. Olgierd accompanied us every step of the way, from early open houses, to making the offer, to assembling our finance and legal team, to assiduous review of our Board package . . . all the way to occupancy. Olgierd Minkiewicz brings his intelligence, humor and constructive direction to the transaction, transforming an ordinary real estate deal into a durable and reliable relationship." - Michael, Principal and Architect at Virtual Practice

"Olgierd was the seller’s broker. He wasn’t even my broker and he’s so great I’m giving him this review. Trust him with your property. You’ll be in good hands. He’s also a stand up guy and super easy to work with." - Christopher, Writer and Producer

★★★★★ "When open, the universe will serve us in ways only the universe knows to do. Years ago I was merely thinking about selling my apartment. I ran into a gentleman realtor seated at his table selling his wares at a neighborhood street fair. We talked in friendly conversation for a bit and I took his card. A couple years later while meandering the streets of midtown, who do I bump into? Yep, Olgierd. He recognized me as I recognized him. We stopped, chatted and moved on. At that point I was more seriously considering selling so he came by to take a look. Living in my neighborhood he knew the advantages it had to offer. I told him what I needed to get and he went to work. Filled with insight, expertise and charisma, Olgierd found a buyer within a month. As I now lived upstate he took care of absolutely everything, making the sale an absolute breeze. Since then, we’ve developed a friendship that goes far beyond superficialities. Thank you Olgierd and Compass for everything!" - Robert, Teacher

"Olgierd is fantastic, 10/10 recommended. I had never bought a home before and didn’t know much about the process. He walked me through every aspect of the coop purchase and made the entire process smooth and uncomplicated. He is very passionate about his work, extremely knowledgeable and knew the answers to every one of my questions. He was able to successfully help me negotiate with the seller for a better deal and paid attention to every small detail. He made suggestions to help improve my offer package to the coop board that I never would have thought of on my own. Everything went great, and I am now a proud first-time homeowner. Thank you, Olgierd!" - Walker, Nurse

What an extraordinary experience to find someone with both expertise and compassion – he listened and understood, and then went to work. Ours was a complicated transaction that required skillful navigation among varied interests; it was not easy. He stayed right with it and never let up – amazing.

"As first-time homebuyers looking for a condo in NYC, my fiancée and I didn't know where to start and the whole process felt intimidating, until we met Olgierd.

He always made himself available to go to open houses and was extremely responsive. Olgierd is very knowledgeable and helped us find our dream home.

"After nearly thirty years as homeowners in Westchester, my wife and I were ready to downsize, and had just begun our search for a Manhattan apartment when we met Olgierd - a most vibrant, charming, and knowledgeable Compass real estate agent. He showed us a spacious 2-bedroom 2-bath apartment on the Upper East Side that was uniquely suited to our needs, but we had a number of concerns about some repairs and renovations that would be needed before we could move in. Thanks to Olgierd's skillful negotiating with the property manager, these issues were successfully resolved, and we were able to secure the 2-year lease we had requested without further ado. It was a pleasure for us to work with Olgierd, and it is our pleasure to warmly recommend him." - Tom and Elyse, Retired Homeowners

He went to almost all of the apartments that we wanted to see and walked us through the process so we did not feel like we were alone as first time homebuyers. His perspective was valuable and he was a pleasure to work with. He recommended both a lawyer and a mortgage broker that were instrumental in closing the deal. I have already recommended Olgierd to a colleague of mine who recently closed on her first home and will continue to do so in the future with others." - Naomi, Senior Tax Manager at Deloitte Tax LLP

"It was a pleasure to work with Olgierd! We are a family of four from California and we approached Olgierd to help us find the perfect family apartment on a budget. We were not very familiar with the process in New York. Olgierd was very patient and spent approximately 6 months and numerous hours on the phone making sure we understood every move. Olgierd was always available when we needed him and very professional. Olgierd has your best interest in mind and he is very passionate in helping you find your dream home. We found ours and we were able to visit it for the first time two weeks ago. We feel like we are dreaming - we own a place in the city!

"My wife and I were referred to Olgierd after we had already been eyeing a condo on the market. Olgierd met with us, realized how much we liked the unit, and worked tirelessly to ensure that we could quickly make an offer that satisfied both us and the sellers. After our offer was accepted, he aided us in compiling all the paperwork and applications necessary to move things along. In the craziness of COVID and the 2021 housing market, we managed to clear our closing approval within the pre-COVID timeframe, which is no small task! We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Olgierd and would highly recommend him as a broker to anyone interested in NY real estate!" - Spencer, Engineering Leader at Bloomberg

"I met Olgierd as the seller's broker when I was looking for a home on my own and I asked him to represent me as the buyer's broker for the same apartment. Before applying to buy in a NYC co-op, one of my biggest concerns was the board interview. After speaking with Olgierd, he alleviated any fears I had by scheduling extra time to comb through the board package with me so that I understood everything clearly. As we moved through the process, he followed up with me regularly and patiently coached me at each stage. From the beginning to the end, Olgierd's professionalism impressed everyone and he worked seamlessly with my lawyer and lender even though they had no prior working relationship. Olgierd's meticulous attention to detail, as well as his composure, experience and knowledge of the buying process, helped me to feel more confident that I was in capable hands. Thanks to Olgierd, my dream of owning a piece of Manhattan is now a reality." - Lauren, Team Leader at Bridges International NYC
