Testimonials

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience with Greg and his incredibly capable team. As our growing family expanded from one child to two, we found ourselves in the dual position of buyers seeking out more space, as well as first-time sellers needing to put our existing apartment on the market. Greg helped us see through both needs with wise counsel, high touch personalized service, and ultimately fantastic results on both sides. He supported us in preparing our prior apartment for sale, steering us towards best in class staging solutions as well as a high quality contractor that ultimately proved decisive in getting the right price (12% above our ask). As we explored the market for our next home, Greg made a real effort to understand our priorities and thoughtfully curate options (and demonstrated patience with us as our priorities evolved!). During the process of our sale as well as securing the eventual apartment of our dreams, Greg helped us deftly navigate two separate co-op boards and manage every step with confidence and experience. When the process began, we looked at it all with some unease but thanks to Greg we had nothing but great outcomes and a supportive team behind us at every turn.

Working with Greg redefined our experience with residential brokers. If results are all that matters, he helped us to achieve a sale price well north of our goal. But his process was impressive at every turn. He proposed and coordinated every detail from minor touch-ups that added more value than they cost; staging; a complex board process; vetting buyers. We handed the whole process (and the keys) to Greg at the outset and trusted his counsel throughout, and he really delivered. Thank you, Greg!

We could not be more pleased with our experience working with Greg and his team. Greg gave us incredibly astute guidance on preparing our apartment for sale. He knew exactly where to invest and instilled confidence in his strategy. He spearheaded the entire process of prepping, staging and pricing - all with a calm and extremely competent demeanor. We ended up with an above-ask offer that we happily accepted after only 4 days on the market but Greg's support did not end there. He coordinated walk-throughs with the inspector and future owners as well as the minor repairs needed for closing, some of which occurred while he was on vacation. His team didn't miss a beat. Without a doubt, Greg maximized the value of our apartment and made the process as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Greg and his team are of the upmost professional status I've dealt with in the Brooklyn/NYC area. They were timely, responsive, and very patient when I had a question that didn't make sense or needed to be sorted out. Their experience paid off for me personally with the fast and robust sale of my apartment, which I thought would take forever.

Professionalism is the first word that I think of when it comes to Greg Mire and his whole team. From start to finish with the sale of my co-op in Brooklyn Heights the process was totally seamless and with the recommendations that Greg and his team made my apartment was sold for the asking price in one day on the market. Let me also state that he is a total gentleman to deal with. I would highly recommend Greg and his team going forward.

I loved working with Annika Grove to find my Brooklyn apartment! I moved to NY from London just over a year ago and she helped me navigate so many hurdles trying to buy a condo with no credit history in the US. She worked around the clock to get the deal done, from finding me a great lawyer (the hilarious Howard) to a mortgage rate significantly lower than my company's private bank's 'special' rate for employees. Annika even bought the property manager at the building a slice of cake to get our forms completed faster - such a class act. The experience working with Annika is absolutely the opposite of the two properties I bought in London - I'm absolutely blown away by her tenacity, warmth, and generosity with her time. I feel I've made a true friend along the way.

I rarely write reviews, but for Greg and his team, I felt it was so warranted given their exceptional service. Greg represented us in selling our Brooklyn condo and was able to get us the highest amount on record for our condo size in our building. Greg and his team were consummate professionals, incredibly well organized, with a true understanding of the neighborhood, our building, and the market at large. They provided sound advice at all times and had a network of contractors, stagers, photographers, and other professional support services to ensure that nothing was either left to chance or to us to provide. We felt a true partnership with Greg and the entire process exceeded our expectations. We cannot thank Greg and team enough!!

When we decided to sell our place, we interviewed a few different brokers, including Greg who came highly recommended by a friend of ours. From the initial meeting, it was clear that Greg was incredibly organized and well-prepared. He walked us through the process, gave us his views on the marketplace, and offered helpful advice on how best to maximize the value of our apartment. One of Greg’s recommendations was to have some inexpensive updates made to our kitchen and went so far as to arrange a contractor to do high-quality work at a very reasonable price. The end result was impressive relative to the cost and made a difference when trying to differentiate our apartment among similar units in our building and among lower, historical comps. Also, the marketing package (including photos) that Greg’s team put together was a home run with our place showing beautifully. Once we received concrete interest in our unit (which happened quickly given an impressive marketing effort), Greg showed great creativity offering suggestions about how to thread the needle of giving a potential buyer comfort around receiving financing, but also minimizing our risk around our unit under-appraising. If you are looking for a strong, knowledgeable advocate in the real estate process, I’d highly recommend Greg and his team. We will definitely be using him again for any of our future real estate purchases and sales.

We were first-time sellers, crunched for time in a turbulent market that was trending down, and Greg not only guided us through the process but also got us a higher price for our apartment than we’d even thought was possible. From our very first meeting, he was professional and prepared every step of the way. His research was thorough, and his experience throughout the NYC market helped give valuable insight into our particular sales. He brought an aggressive pricing strategy, backed up with solid research and due diligence to justify it. Combined with detailed staging advice, amazing photography, tasteful and well-produced marketing material, and a thoughtful approach to open houses, we were confident listing at a high price (and ended up selling way above the asking price). And whenever we did have a moment of doubt, Greg was calm and collected, keeping us on a clear path with our sales strategy in mind so we didn’t end up selling ourselves short. He was open and honest about the feedback he’d gotten from potential buyers, and any time he called with an issue or problem, he had a solution or suggestion to go be more thrilled with the results.

It was a pleasure to work with Anni on the sale of our Brooklyn coop apartment. Anni was organized, worked tirelessly and at all hours to ensure our questions were answered, that things ran smoothly and that our co-op board was also comfortable throughout the sale process. She is a broker who goes above and beyond, including bringing in and personally overseeing a fantastic contractor to make a few cosmetic updates and ensuring our beloved home was looking the very best it could for our sale. She worked within our timeline and made sure we were not disrupted by endless showings, was organized in presenting offers and gave great advice throughout. We met with a few other brokers in the process and Anni was by far the most personable, responsive and she and her team are very knowledgeable about the Brooklyn market; they gave us good insight and advice on pricing and timing as well. We will definitely work with Anni again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Brooklyn.

Having successfully worked with Greg Mire on multiple occasions, he was my first call when we decided to purchase a larger home. Greg patiently showed us varying options and we eventually fell in love with one we wouldn't have considered without his out-of-the-box thinking. As a result, I needed to sell my 260 Park Avenue South apartment quickly. Greg’s marketing was fantastic in immediately attracting multiple buyers and achieving the highest possible price with excellent terms. I was nervous about potential complications in conducting simultaneous transactions, but with Greg at the helm, all went smoother than I could have imagined. This was my fourth sale with Greg at 260 PAS, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Jessica was fantastic! She went above and beyond to find us a great place to live and did a wonderful job as our "eyes and ears" in the city while we were trying to find an apartment in North Carolina.

It was time to sell our apartment and move, but we had two young kids and no bandwidth for an even longer to-do list to make it happen! We absolutely loved working with Jessica and her team. She took care of everything and made the process incredibly simple for us. We knew the apartment wouldn’t look its best with a decade’s worth of our stuff in it, but we weren’t wild about the idea of paying for staging upfront. Jessica helped us sign up for the Compass Concierge Program so we didn’t have to pay the cost of staging until we closed on the sale! We had an accepted offer for above our asking price right away, and Jessica helped make the entire process run smoothly. Thank you for helping two over-extended parents make our big move!

Greg was superb in guiding us through our first sale as sellers in Gramercy, and eventual purchase in Williamsburg. He maintained an excellent balance of sensitivity to our emotional decision-making while standing strong with the important themes of transacting in the competitive NYC market. These attributes included prudent advice in staging, renovation, and honest feedback when purchasing.

Greg is by far the best real estate professional we’ve ever worked with. We were blown away at our initial meeting by his research and preparation. He made excellent suggestions for minor improvements that would generate a higher price. Greg made it clear that he felt our building had been undervalued for some time, put careful consideration into pricing, and as a result, it sold 27% over ask!

I thank my lucky stars for Greg Mire, who helped my apartment sell for a record price in record time! He guided me through the process from start to finish – from determining the best way to prepare the apartment for sale, navigating through open houses and a bidding war, and selecting the best buyer. Greg knows the way to achieve the best return on your investment. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable real estate agent.

Greg and his team assisted with my first home purchase in NYC. Their professionalism and attention detail were world class through the entire process. From organizing tours of possible units through contract negotiation to the closing details they were helpful every step of the way. I would recommend Greg to any of my friends, family or colleagues. If you are looking for a broker in NYC Greg is your guy!

Annika was an incredible guide throughout our entire home buying experience. She’s a careful listener, and from day one, she was able to zero in on our family’s needs to identify the perfect home. Anni assisted in crafting a competitive offer, providing clear and direct feedback along the way. She was persistent, and expedited a quick closing by connecting us with trusted legal counsel, communicating with the seller’s agent, and navigating through both building management and co-op board requirements. Overall, Anni’s expertise and laser focus landed us the home of our dreams. We thought of her as a partner and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

I recently purchased my first NYC apartment in the UWS and Greg was my broker. Being a first-time buyer in the New York market, I needed some hand holding and Greg Mire and his team provided that. From submitting the bid, putting me in touch with a reputable mortgage banker, attorney, and insurance broker, all the way to the closing, I benefited from his experience and advice. Putting together a package for a NYC co-op board can be daunting, but Michelle Duarte on Greg's team combined knowledge, patience, and communication skills, to help me put together the package in a timely manner. I couldn't thank her enough. Greg has a good professional network that he leverages for his clients. I appreciated that whenever I asked him for his opinion on something he gave me the all information I needed in order to make my own decision. He always responded in a timely manner. Greg is a true professional.

In selling our apartment, Greg devised an aggressive, multi-faceted strategy based on his knowledge of the Brooklyn market and confidence in the demand for our condo. We sold our apartment well over the asking price with the luxury of choosing the buyer we preferred that could close the fastest.

Greg and his team went above and beyond my expectations. I wanted to sell my condo in Brooklyn right before the pandemic started. Greg was there with me for the next 3 years as we navigated covid lockdowns, tenant challenges, condo management changes and everything in between. When we got through the worst of it, Greg and his wonderful extended team remodeled the kitchen, the floors, the fixtures and beautifully staged the condo. Greg has so many connections from contractors, to staging and attorneys. He was open and honest with me at every step, and helped me feel comfortable throughout the whole process even as we entertained multiple bids. In the end they got me a sale price that I never would have dreamed of. Not only that, Greg did it while I was living on the other side of the country in San Francisco the entire time. Being so far away, I put my trust in Greg that he and his team could take the reins on decisions and I trusted them to do a good job. They did more than good they did exceptional.

When my husband and I were expecting a baby, we needed to sell our Upper East Side apartment quickly to move to a bigger space. We put our trust in Greg to get the job done. Every step of the sale process was treated with utmost professionalism and focus. We were very concerned about the costs involved in getting our apartment to its ideal sales condition. Greg listened to our hesitations and provided us with a variety of options. When we received an over-asking price offer we knew that working with Greg was the right choice. In the chaotic real estate market in New York City, having Greg on your side is a huge advantage.

We met with 4 realtors before deciding who to list our condo with and Annika was the clear standout. We were already in the process of buying our new home and wanted to sell our place quickly. Annika immediately put us at ease with her calm but in-control working style. She is organized, diligent, and knowledgeable about the local market in our part of Brooklyn. She advised us at every step of the way and worked quickly to help us get our place on the market in under 2 weeks. She completely accommodated our priorities (for example, lining up showings while we were away on a previously scheduled vacation so we didn't have to be disturbed) and worked to make everything happen on our best-case scenario timeline. She is also skilled at building relationships on both sides of the transaction, and I think that helped us close the deal quickly. Highly recommend working with Annika!

Jessica was the best real estate agent we've ever worked with. To explain why would take more space than I have here, but suffice to say I've never had an agent pay such close attention to what we were looking for; take so much initiative to help us find it; negotiate so effectively on our behalf; undertake so many inquiries related to the purchase, and take care to the flag for us all the issues that could become relevant along the way. In his or her ideal expression, a real estate agent is far more than the person who sets up the viewing appointment and gives some basic, moderately-tailored advice and is why we parted ways with the very nice but ultimately ineffective agent we were using before we reached out to Jessica. Jessica represents that ideal, and we will ask her to represent us on every deal we undertake in the future, as well as strongly recommending her to everyone in our networks.

I’ve worked with Greg in 7 transactions in over a decade. He has been consistently flawless in his approach, and always delivered the best returns on my investments. Greg's insight, solid relationships, creative marketing, and out-of-the-box thinking have always benefited me greatly. I trust Greg implicitly, and cannot recommend him more highly to anyone interested in buying or selling in NYC.

We have so much to celebrate thanks to you! You were our steadfast friend when things looked like they wouldn't happen for us. We needed and appreciate your guidance through the maze of NYC apartment hunting and the various steps in finding our wonderful place!

Michelle Duarte is an exceptional agent and was a pleasure to work with. As an absentee international owner, it was crucial for me to align myself with a talented agent that would be capable of micromanaging the entire transaction on my behalf when I listed my Lennox Hill coop. Michelle and The Greg Mire Team not only exceeded those expectations but also facilitated the entire deal during the peak of the pandemic during a lockdown! She was both empathetic and diligent during such highly sensitive times that I can easily attest that she is one-of-a-kind, who puts her heart and soul into everything she does. Michelle is a deal maker and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a real estate professional who is at the top of her game and genuinely cares for her clients.

Working with Greg was a very positive experience. I think it's important for sellers to realize that he lives and breathes the art of selling apartments for as high a price as possible.

Michelle Duarte and The Greg Mire Team were phenomenal to work with on the sale of my apartment. As an absentee owner living overseas, selling my apartment seemed like an overwhelming and daunting task. However, with Michelle at the reigns, no detail was overlooked and everything happened seamlessly. The team's market preparation advice was solid, photography and marketing materials were stunning, and communication throughout the process was excellent. Despite challenging market conditions, Michelle never gave up and was relentless in her pursuit to bring a deal to the closing table. She eventually wound up securing me an all-cash buyer at a price I was extremely happy with. I'm so thrilled to have worked with Michelle and The Greg Mire Team, and I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate in New York City!

I first met Michelle during a showing of an apartment that she was selling for her client. I had indicated that I am not fully ready to purchase financially at that stage but slowly getting there. After a lengthy process that lasted more than a year and involved a few offers that were turned down, and an offer that was accepted then fell through at the last moment, finally, an offer was accepted to the apartment that I currently own. Michelle was there to help throughout the process and did not give up on me (or my financials) until the end. She is a resilient and smart broker and brings her own touch to every search or sale. I would not hesitate to hire her again.

Craig was with me every step of the way... performing the proper due diligence on every property we viewed together, working tirelessly with the seller's broker to close an amazing deal on my dream home, and even checking in after I moved in. He was friendly, professional, and dedicated while helping me navigate my first home purchase. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish and I look forward to working with him and Greg again in the future!
