Testimonials

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “John Ruocco was great. He answered all my questions in a timely fashion and explained everything in detail. John found an apartment in a location for me and in my price range. I look forward to working with him again when its time for me to buy. Thank you again!!!”

  • “Working with John from Harlem Properties was an absolutely amazing experience! Typically when working with brokers in NYC communication is lacking, brokers are pushy, and they never seem to fully have your needs in mind. Its the absolute worst. Working with John, however, was the complete opposite. He redeemed our faith in brokers completely!”

    — Mara & Mark Measor

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “We were introduced to John and we just knew he was the perfect broker to work with in selling our Harlem condo. From the moment we met with him, he were not only personable, but he showed his expertise, professionalism, and enthusiasm; it set him 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! Thank you!”

  • “Working with John McGuinness 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.”
