Reviews of Harlem Properties Team at Compass (Real Estate Agency)

Frank Vignola

Couldn't be more pleased with the team at Harlem Properties in connecting us with a great tenant for our commercial space. John and Pedro are a great team, efficient, knowledgeable and fully committed to customer service. Thanks so much!

Kevin Bouley

John is great at what he does. Steady and calm throughout the process. We never felt pressured at any point. A true professional.

Ralph Ghoche

I feel very fortunate to have worked with John during the otherwise arduous process of purchasing a coop apartment in nyc. This being my first apartment, John helped my navigate the process and overcome the many obstacles. He's a very genuine person, honest and trustworthy. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

John listed our apartment building in Harlem. I was impressed with his creativity, honesty, and timeliness. His ability and willingness to think outside the box made brought us an extra 100k.

Simon McGown

John was such a pleasure to work with on his new office. He has an incredible vision for how a real estate broker can be a good neighbor, knows the industry like the back of his hand, and is honest, generous, and driven with the highest caliber of custom care. You will not be disappointed, but instead relieved to have finally found the best broker in NYC!

John has handled several apartment rentals for me and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I live in California so I’ve really depended on him not just to manage the process, but also to make judgment calls on who would be great tenants. I’ve never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision to rent. On the contrary, he’s been more than willing to make the extra effort, and take the extra time, to ensure that it’s a good fit for all concerned. A couple of the rentals turned out to be more complicated than expected (for example, tenants suddenly couldn’t move out for 2+ months due to their mortgage falling through) and he handled everything and everyone with integrity and efficiency, continued to show the apartment, and gave me good advice on how to proceed. My tenants have also told me that they really appreciated the way he handled the rental process, and his lower broker fee was also a plus.

We worked with Ryan Sollinger and Harlem Properties to purchase our west Village apartment when there were many other buyers. Ryan worked hard to get us in first and win the deal. The process was smooth and made easier by the knowledge and insight brought to our purchase. I strongly recommend Ryan and HP's services for anyone considering buying or selling a home in NYC.

Malcolm Brown

Myasia exuded the perfect combination of professionalism and care from beginning to end. She went beyond the scope of her job to ensure that my experience went as smoothly as possible. When faced with obstacles, she, tenaciously, hurdled over them all-the-while remaining calm under pressure. Most importantly, she proved and assured me that my business was safe in her hands.

Nathan Siler

Suzanne is the perfect real estate agent. She was on top of details before they became details. She was a voice of optimism when we felt hopeless during our loan process. She was aggressive at the right times, assertive at the right times, and passive at the right times, but always courteous and professional. She took excellent care of us, and she will take excellent care of you. We cannot adequately express our gratitude for Suzanne and the Harlem Properties Team at Compass.

John Hernandez

Harlem Properties Team is a great way to find a new apartment! Listings available by neighborhood on their website and they are responsive and helpful in scheduling viewings or suggesting other apartments that meet your needs. I highly recommend Harlem Properties Team if you're looking to rent in New York.

John and Pedro are an exceptional hard working and knowledgeable team. They stepped up to the challenge and was able to list and sell my multi-family property to the right buyer at my expected price range. They worked very hard and did it. Exceptional service!

John helped us to sell our brownstone. He is extremely professional and polite. We really enjoyed working wih him and would do so again if we had another house to sell!!!

Clarence Bradley

Pedro Felix was my rental agent. He nailed it on the first outing. I got exactly what I was looking for in the neighborhood I wanted. Pedro wasn't pushy or obnoxious like most rental agents. He was patient and kind and a wealth of knowledge of about the area. Pedro Felix is a good egg.

After reading these amazing reviews and feeling overwhelmed with searching for a new home in Manhattan - moving from Queens - I decided to reach out to the folks at Harlem Properties. It was hands down THE BEST decision I ever made. Rebecca Hall was my broker and not only is she a Harlem native - who recommended neighborhood haunts - but she is a talented broker who helped navigate the leasing process with humor and a smile. Harlem Properties offers a refreshing change from the more sterile corporate brokers that typically dominate the city. John McGuinness, the President is not only talented, but involved and approachable. If you are looking for a new abode in Upper Manhattan, run - don't walk! to Harlem Properties. :-)

We shopped around before selecting a broker and I'm very glad we did. John McGuinness and his team were professional, efficient and highly effective in guiding us in the purchase of our new apartment. We were so impressed with their services that we asked them to assist us in the leasing of our old apartment. Pedro Felix from John's team was our rental agent and he was a pleasure to work with. Across both of our transactions, we were extremely happy with the results.

Bryan Lip

Was an absolute pleasure working with John. I found John after a search for brokers on Zillow. After speaking with a number of brokers I was hyper impressed during our initial phone conversation where he would genuinely listen and understand my requirements rather than lecture to me. He also took the time to explain to me the nuances of purchasing property and when I made a visit, he showed me around 20+ properties in a single day and across a very large area. It helped me appreciate the area, local history, and most importantly understand which area I'd most like to live in. When it came to negotiating for the right property, John's knowledge of many of the other brokers in the market allowed him to understand what we could properly flex to. I've recommended John to a number of my friends and if you need anyone in the city, I'd recommend John as the person to speak to, plus he's a really awesome guy.

Jodie Bentley

Working with John McGuiness and Harlem Properties was the best choice we made when renting out our apartment, and then subsequently selling that apartment. I should also say, we were living 3000 miles away when we were selling the apartment and it was the easiest and smoothest process - all because of John. If you need a broker and company that cares, has integrity AND is insanely smart about the market, then hire Harlem Properties.

Tresell Davis

The team at Compass seamlessly handled the logistics of finding tenants for my condo unit. They were professional and detail oriented. I would highly recommend this company.

Esther Lim

We were introduced to John and Ryan and we just knew they were the perfect brokers to work with in selling our Harlem condo. From the moment we met with them, they were not only personable, but they showed their expertise, professionalism, and enthusiasm; it set them apart from a handful of other NYC brokers we had interviewed. They presented us with a much detailed market analysis report, provided guidance in how to prep our condo to sell and best of all, they gave us the attention necessary in selling our condo. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Harlem Properties! Thank you!

Kasheem Jones

One the the best realtors I've had the pleasure of working with. My experience has been flawless with John & his team. I can enthusiastically recommend John and his team of real estate professionals for all of your Real Estate needs.

Sam Tilles

John was a great asset in finding our new apartment. Although he was very personable and friendly, he also pursued opportunities on our behalf with diligence--often going out of his way to do so. Next time we move we will be sure to work with him again!

Carlotta

Harlem Properties is my go to real estate agency. I've used their services over the last 8 years. Great to work with. Very professional.

John Conway Chisenhall

I couldn't have done it without the professionalism and insider know how of Harlem Properties. Seriously, I tried to do it on my own for over a year before I called them. Great people dedicated to offering prospective buyers the best and most streamlined experience. Personable, patient and professional. Go with Harlem Properties to get your dream home.

Dan Saperstein

Our experiences with Harlem Properties have been flawless, with professional and personable care taken by John and his team throughout. They are truly THE experts when it comes to Harlem!

Eddie Lopez

Worked with Pedro Felix to get my unit rented out. He arrived on time when viewing apartment which is very important to me. He took some great pictures and listened very carefully for my criteria when looking for tenants. He found great tenants within a week's time and handled all paperwork and approvals in a timely fashion. He was a pleasure to work with and will be using him and Compass for future business.

Andy Morgan

I bought my apartment through John McGuinness and I would highly recommend him. He was honest, professional and knowledgeable. His passion for Harlem and his enthusiasm make working with him a pleasure. Interacting with John actually increased my appreciation of Harlem.

Worked with Pedro to rent my unit. Great overall experience and very attentive. He was able to get the unit rented very quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to rent a unit. You will not be disappointed. Cheers.

Harlem Properties is the best real estate broker in Harlem - hands down. John McGuinness not only showed me some amazing apartments and brownstones for sale, he also gave me background about the neighborhood that only a local would know. I've dealt with a number of brokers and agents as a real estate investor through the years. Harlem Properties was not only the most diligent real estate agency I've worked with but also the most honest; never once in my dealings did I not feel like I was getting the best treatment. If you're interested in investing in real estate in Harlem or looking for a great new neighborhood to call home, call Harlem Properties.

Collin with the Compass team out of Harlem was great. He really cared about my apartment and neighborhood requirements and helped me find the perfect spot in the best location! I would certainly recommend him for his knowledge of the area and great personality.

Mara Measor

Harlem Properties helped us buy our first home, and we are SO happy with the place we ended up with!

Silvana Catoiu

Horrible experience. They never answer their phones and when they do they tell you they’re not sure when someone will get back to you, as their agents are all “busy with other people.” Really?! I was a potential customer too...

Hilary Stillman

John is our neighbor and it just seemed natural to ask him to find us new tenants when our current tenants were relocating to Atlanta. Our positive feeling was reinforced by his professionalism and knowledge of the rental market. He kept us posted about each step of the process. Most importantly, his integrity and diligence was above and beyond what we have experienced previously. He found us lovely tenants and we will have no "gap" between move out and move in, which is important for us. We would certainly use John again if we had a vacancy in our building.

James Walsh

It's one thing to get unsolicited mail in your mailbox advertising a new piece of real estate, but then that unwelcome turd doesn't even have a price listed, for a small place in the heights you know that clickbait advertising has become the new tactic of realtors... scummy!

Andrew McCauley

It was a pleasure and a privilege working with John and his team on the recent rental of one of my units in Harlem. He presented the property very professionally and ensured it was marketed very broadly. His constant focus ensured it was leased within a very short space of time. John has a deep knowledge and understanding of the market in Harlem and the various laws and regulations with respect to real estate in New York. Also, with his sophisticated approach to dealing with documentation he made the entire process very easy for both myself as the landlord and the tenant. I would definitely recommend John and his team for any real estate transaction in Harlem.
