We found Matthew to be engaged in the whole process of selling our apartment from start to finish. He made every effort to keep everyone on the same page throughout the process and while moving the closing forward. He prioritized what needed to be done and explained all the complexities as we headed into the final stages of closing the deal. He is confident, friendly, and upbeat. We admire his dedication and found him easy to work with.

Matthew was a fantastic broker and found us the perfect apartment in the location that we wanted. He negotiated the best deal possible for us and was able to secure the apartment almost immediately after viewing. Being a local New Yorker, he had a wealth of knowledge of New York Real Estate. He was always available and responded promptly when we had any questions. We will be working with Matthew again in the future. I would highly recommend him to anyone in Manhattan or the Hamptons.

As first-time home buyers, and new to the Hamptons, we were very lucky, and thrilled, to have Matthew as our guide and advisor. Beyond his encyclopedic knowledge of the subtly different neighborhoods, the constantly changing market conditions, and the available inventory, his insights, suggestions, local contacts, and most importantly, his guidance during the purchase negotiations, were invaluable. We cannot imagine we would have been able to find and buy our dream home in West Hampton Beach were it not for Matthew. He is more than a broker he is a partner invested in your success.

During our nearly two decades in Manhattan, the wife and I have encountered our fair share of real estate professionals. Unequivocally, Matt is one of the most knowledgeable, thoughtful, and diligent. As first-time landlords who were also moving out of state, we were understandably anxious. Matt did a fantastic job marketing our apartment, screening candidates, and negotiating terms. Within a few short weeks of listing in April 2022, we were able to secure a high-quality tenant at our list price. For busy folks, working with advisors who are experts in their field while also exhibiting high care factors for their clients is critical. Matt's ability to excel at both is only surpassed by his fashion sense (you'll see what I mean). We have every intention of working with him on every one of our transactions going forward.

Without hesitation, we would (and have) recommended Matthew Melinger. He is smart, professional, honest, responsive, organized, and thorough and has his clients’ best interest front of mind. We met Matthew several years ago when he agreed to show us an apartment we saw in the NY Times. Matthew knew that we were not in a hurry to buy a pied-a-terre but he kept with us, was able to decipher what would work for us, and sent us very appropriate listings as they became available. Matthew never pressured us to look or bid before we were ready. He was honest in his assessment of the apartments we looked at and when we found the place, he was with us through negotiations and any hiccups that came along with the process. Matthew has also cultivated a network of other professionals around him who helped us finish our transaction – lawyers, mortgage lenders, etc who all had the same focus and high level of service that Matthew provides. Matthew goes the extra mile. His responses to our questions came almost immediately after we hit send. He kept us completely organized through the coop application process and was instrumental in our being able to purchase some of the staged furniture in the apartment. I honestly can’t think of anything I would change in our dealings with Matthew and I am happy to recommend his services.

I could not have asked for a better experience with a REALTOR than the one we had working with Matthew. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable and gave us a lot of confidence about our search in the Upper West Side. Matthew laid out for us a variety of factors to consider with renting vs. buying, he spoke about the benefits or drawbacks of different buildings and locations, and in general how to think about making our decision. Matthew sent us listings that honed in on what we were looking for. He was very responsive and would answer all of our questions on the phone or in person. When it came to looking at apartments, not only did he visit some on our behalf, but he called out important details to look for during the walkthrough and our evaluation. Matthew helped us with multiple negotiations, giving us strong advice on what not to pay given a particular unit's drawbacks. We ended up finding a fantastic unit that we were thrilled with, and Matthew negotiated skillfully as there were several items on the punch list. We've used a couple of different brokers both in NYC and outside; Matthew was the most professional, authoritative, friendly, warm, honest, and patient of them all. We never felt rushed or pressured as our search went from renting, to looking to buy, to ultimately deciding on renting again. Highly recommend.

First-time homebuyers. First time living in NYC. Not a typical (or even advisable) storyline, and we could not have realized our dream if it were not for Matthew. From our first conversation 5 months ago, Matthew has been an incredible resource, agent, and friend to my wife and me. From helping us get educated about the basics (and nuances) of the NYC market, understanding co-ops vs condos, and evaluating neighborhoods that match our preferences and growth potential, Matthew was full of intimate knowledge and patience as we oriented ourselves. Throughout our home search and closing process, Matthew displayed his great flexibility and collaborative approach. My wife and I wanted to take an active role in searching listings before each of our two visits, and Matthew diligently provided feedback as we made numerous iterations to define a final set for viewings. Matthew’s expertise in the NYC real estate market and ability to marry it with our unique needs and long-term objectives truly shined during this process. As we went through the contract negotiation, condo board process, and closing process Matthew was there to coach us at every step. I provided some anecdotes about how Matthew helped us, but he truly went above and beyond to help us at all stages of our homebuying process. Matthew was not just a trusted advisor in getting a deal done, he also provided personal guidance as my wife and I start to build our new life in Manhattan. We could not have asked for a better shepherd. From my family and me, thank you so much Matthew for everything! We cannot wait for the next deal!

My husband and I were new to Manhattan's real estate market after renting for a few years and living in the suburbs before that. We had owned a coop in NYC over 25 years ago in a completely different real estate market. Matthew could not have been more welcoming, empathetic, proactive and responsive. When we pivoted to looking for a smaller, less expensive apartment, he treated us exactly the same as he had before. He clearly knows the UWS incredibly well and was tireless in answering our many questions. He quickly earned our trust and is truly an end-to-end broker: he is an expert on each part of the process, made the hunt enjoyable and was particularly masterful in putting together the coop board materials. It is such a pleasure to work with someone who is so excellent at what they do -- we wish we had a Matthew in all aspects of our life!

Working with Matthew was an excellent experience. He was extremely thorough and thoughtful about understanding our needs and introducing us to considerations that helped us hone in one the right home. We worked closely with Matthew over the course of several months and he helped us find a home we truly love. He was deeply diligent during the closing process, helping us navigate its inherent complexity and stress while also helping us manage emotions and expectations throughout. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking to buy a home and would absolutely work with him again the next time we are in the market.

Matt was the perfect broker for our second home search. What really proved his worth was the fact that he was able to secure a purchase price BELOW our initial bid - not sure what kind of magic he worked! From there he was always available every step of the way, even while he was getting married imminently - that is dedication! I endorse Matt without any hesitation for any of your real estate needs.

I have bought and sold over a dozen homes in the last 40 years but I’ve never met a more intelligent and capable REALTOR than Matthew Melinger. I moved down to Georgia two years ago and couldn’t get back to the City to help my daughter, a first time buyer, in her search for a Co-op in NYC. When I spoke with Matthew he promised to get her through the process and I’m proud to say that she just moved into a beautiful building on 56th. Not only did Matthew show her a good number of listings in the NY area but he also advised and walked her through the mortgage process and the Co-op Board interview that made it possible for my daughter to find and buy her dream home. Thanks Matthew, couldn’t have done it without you!

If you are looking to buy a new home or sell your existing one, I can not recommend Matthew highly enough. Efficient, knowledgeable, responsive and direct, all whilst being professional and courteous, he made what can be a complicated process as seamless as you could ask for. The energy and effort he puts in to getting deals done is first class. 10/10

As first time buyers in NY residing in Europe with a specific timeline in mind, Matthew had a lot to deal with working with us. He was fantastic from start to finish, making himself available to us at all times, answering all of our questions and concerns and making the deal close within our deadline. Matthew is an absolute pleasure to work with and excels in all aspects of his profession. Before starting our apartment search, he spent time explaining the market and listening to what we were looking for. His knowledge was key in helping us navigate through the Manhattan market. Being out of the country should have made the process more complicated, but Matthew guided us throughout the entire process, always on top of everything and more than willing to manage every detail of the purchase, making it smooth and easy. He is one of the most hard-working and responsive professionals we have worked with. We highly recommend him and do not doubt we will hire him again when the time comes to sell our property!

Matthew was my agent for the sale of my apartment. During the entire time that it was listed with him I was out of the country but he kept me in the loop and up-to-date on the progress of the showings. If I could give more than 5 Stars for responsiveness I would. His guidance, thoroughness, and follow-up on all matters was excellent. I sensed his effort which was evidenced by the number of showings he conducted before he found a buyer for the apartment.

Matthew is the absolute best. He’s helped us through multiple rentals, negotiations, and referrals. Having worked in finance as well, he is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent resource on real estate as an investment, market color, and an expert on the UWS area. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

We had been looking on Streeteasy for years and finally decided that the pandemic was a great buying opportunity. We engaged with Matthew and right away were very happy we did. First off, Matthew is amazing at follow up, which is the most important part of the job. Secondly, as non native New Yorkers, we did not have the in-depth market knowledge we needed to figure out the intricacies of New York real estate. Thirdly, in the middle of the pandemic, we gave Matthew a very challenging task of lining up 20 showings in two days, out of more that 60 listings we had reviewed together. In the course of those two days we narrowed it down to two that we made offers. Matthew's aggressive negotiation and perfect timing got us exactly what we had hoped for, an amazing apartment with a huge terrace, at a large discount. In Matthew's words, "This was the best timed deal in all my years of real estate." In the end, Matthew's market knowledge, aggressive negotiation, straightforward and sound advice, and most importantly quick follow up, landed us the perfect apartment. Thank you Matthew.

Matthew Melinger is truly the best at what he does. My husband and I feel so lucky to have worked with him to purchase our flat. Matthew is extremely knowledgeable on all things New York (not just real estate!). He and his entire team worked patiently and diligently with us to find a home we loved and close in record time. For anyone not familiar with the New York market or who wants to work with a top broker, we highly recommend Matthew.

Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with and he excels at every aspect of his job. Not only he is professional, reliable, knowledgeable about the market, and easy to work with, he is by far the hardest working real estate agent I have ever met, and I have worked with quite a few. It was evident from the very beginning that he wanted to make us happy. He made himself available to us any time of day or night, and was always more than willing to answer our questions and concerns. Within a few days of listing our apartment, Matt got an offer and made the deal happen in record time. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone looking for an agent, and will be calling him again when I am ready to sell.

Matthew is the best, most thorough, most responsive broker my husband and I have worked with. The ironic thing is that Matthew didn't even represent us. My husband and I were looking for a rental, we went to see one in a co-op building and Matthew represented the owners. Although my husband and I are familiar with co-ops, we had never rented one before. Matthew held our hand throughout and made every aspect of the entire process painless and quick. We will definitely be calling Matthew when we're in the market for a new place and we would highly recommend him to ANYONE. He's fantastic!

Before choosing Matthew, he spent several hours answering our questions, provided objective data, explained the local market, comps and target buyer population in our neighborhood. He was extremely professional and friendly. His recommendations for displaying the apt were very helpful and the professional photos, video and listing verbiage were excellent. Matthew was extremely responsive with all communication and excellent at following up with interested prospective buyers. Matthew lead us through multiple rounds of negotiation to get us a price we we’re comfortable with. His hard work and knowledge paid off as we went into contract during COVID lockdown. We would highly recommend Matthew.

Matthew helped us sell our apartment in the summer of 2020 during COVID. He got us the price we wanted, and the apartment sold quickly, despite everything going on at the time. He handled everything, keeping us in the loop but managing all the details. Even though it wasn't a big sale, it felt like an important priority to him. Would highly recommend.

Matthew was honest, up front, and fun to work with! We made it clear when we could think about things and when we needed to move quick. His organization, attention to detail and dedication to his outwork is more impressive than almost anyone else I have encountered in my life! If you get the chance to have him on your team - do it!

My husband and I had a great experience in working with Matthew on our first purchase in Brooklyn, especially in the midst of Covid. He was very thorough in his research which enabled us to negotiate a deal we never thought we'd achieve. Matthew made himself available 24/7 which was reassuring and even called our lender to help facilitate every step of the process. We ran into some delays along the way with our lender and seller, but Matthew took charge and got all parties back in line. We'll 100% be working with Mathew again in the future.

Mathew was an exceptional broker and friend to us! He always gave us the full picture, his opinion and listened to ours. We never had to compromise what we truly wanted. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell/buy a home or rent!

We worked with Matt on buying our first NYC condo, and he was an invaluable asset in closing the deal. He is truly an expert on the NY market especially the UWS and advocated for our interests strategically in the negotiation process, while maintaining the upmost level of professionalism with all parties. Matt did extensive research on the property beforehand to provide us with deeper insights on its value and how best to move forward with an offer. He thoroughly explained every step required from contracts through closing, which was very helpful as first time buyers. Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with, extremely organized, and always reliable – we knew we could contact him 24/7 with questions and he would respond promptly. We’d love to work with Matt again for any of our real estate needs in the future and cannot recommend him highly enough!

Like many New Yorkers we have had to enlist the help of real estate professionals to assist in finding housing. For us there is one immediate go-to real estate professional and that is Matthew. We find that many others. while courteous and knowledgeable, see us as another deal, not as individuals. To us, there is simply no other that combines technical acumen and knowledge, with a strong humane impulse. He really seems to care, He's a Hall-of-Famer in our book!
Like many New Yorkers we have had to enlist the help of real estate professionals to assist in finding housing. For us there is one immediate go-to real estate professional and that is Matthew. We find that many others. while courteous and knowledgeable, see us as another deal, not as individuals. To us, there is simply no other that combines technical acumen and knowledge, with a strong humane impulse. He really seems to care, He's a Hall-of-Famer in our book!
Matthew is extremely professional and exceedingly knowledgeable of the Hamptons real estate market. Not only he was able to give me access to out-of-market properties thanks to his fantastic network, he was also able to give a detailed and personal perspective on living in each of the neighborhoods we were analyzing. Timely, organized, and thorough. Could not recommend more!

Matthew’s response time, professionalism and attention to detail was exceptional. I will be sure to work with him again and would highly recommend his knowledgeable services in dealing with home rental as well as sales in the areas he represents.

Matthew was the seller's agent on an apartment we purchased this fall. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We found him to be easily reachable, and he always had terrific advice and guidance to offer us. We would be thrilled to work with Matthew again and wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

Matthew was the agent who organized the sale of my beloved condo on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. His organizational skills and professionalism impressed me from our first meeting. He listened to what we wanted and offered sound guidance based on expert knowledge of the market. I had lived in the apartment for 15 years and was reluctant to sell, and Matthew handled that with the utmost level of sensitivity. I came to realize quite quickly how lucky we were to have him. My family had moved to our new home in Westchester, and Matthew spearheaded all aspects of the sale. He sent weekly recap emails and was always available to take our calls and answer any questions. Mathew’s experience and knowledge allowed us to price the condo correctly, so the offers came in fast, and we sold at asking. Matthew’s grace under pressure was further illuminated at our closing when the buyer tried to seek credits at closing for non-issues we previously put to rest. Ever organized, Matthew had every correspondence at the ready, and he quickly defused the situation. I would highly recommend Matthew for his knowledge, professionalism, skill set and experience. He’s an invaluable resource. You’ll be very happy if you choose him.

Matthew was the agent for our sale of our upper east side coop. Matthew did an excellent job from start to finish and was very detail oriented and extremely responsive throughout the process. He was able to work through a difficult situation with the gas service being shut off in our building and got us the the sale price that he projected in our first meeting. Matthew is a true professional who knows his stuff!

Matthew found me the PERFECT apartment at a price that cannot be beat, in less than one hour, on our first day of looking. The end-to-end service he provides in this business, coupled with his keen eye for design, attention to detail, lightning-fast response rate, and in-depth understanding of virtually every sub-market is something you need to experience for yourself in order to truly comprehend how far Matthew goes for his clients. Whether you are buying, selling, or renting, Matthew's expertise is in a class of its own: When other brokers drop the ball, Matthew is there in a New York minute to pick up the slack and keep the deal on track. Most importantly, he prepared me ahead of time for anything and everything. There were NO surprises along the way - not one. In his line of work, Matthew effortlessly-manages a process that many find both frustrating and painful, and made the entire endeavor enjoyable. A true talent, I would recommend Matthew to anyone in need of a solid real estate consultant who can get the job done under any circumstance.

Matthew was a pleasure to work with. In addition to helping me find the perfect apartment, Matthew helped educate me on the New York real estate market, better understand the intricate differences between co-ops and condos, and learn the right questions to ask. I quickly began to think of him as a friend more than a real estate agent because of his honesty and genuine care. Not once in the 9 months I worked with him did I feel rushed to make a decision or that he didn’t have my best interests in mind. Matthew carried himself with the utmost professionalism. He always made himself available to view apartments at times that were convenient for me and was unbelievably (literally) response. I’d happily recommended Matthew to anyone.

Matthew provided a highly professional service. He is fast, accommodating, and extremely goal oriented. We would never be able to close the deal without him. Matthew persisted (even when I gave up) and made it happen! On top of it, he orchestrated the sale of our current apartment, timing both deals perfectly.

Matthew is fantastic! I worked with him twice, and each time he found me a wonderful NYC apartment. He is straightforward, efficient, responsive, honest, and will hustle to get you a great place and a great deal. Highly recommended!

Matthew helped me when I was undecided between buying or moving to a new rental property. He was super responsive and made himself available at the times that suited me best. We saw a number of apartments together and he was a very helpful person to have with me as he asked questions of the brokers that I wouldnt have thought to ask. I valued his opinions very much and especially appreciated his candid advice when I realised that I was actually not ready to move. I really felt like I was in good hands and will look forward to working with Matthew again when I start looking again.

Matthew Melinger is as good as it gets. I'm one of those people that generally, just doesn't like most people, so sue me. But, this guy is brutally honest and transparent. Matthew was an incredible breath of fresh air - a dime in a world of duds. I personally despise wasting time and Matthew did not waste one millisecond of mine. Matthew guided my husband and I through the yellow tape maze of a complicated board review process to get our dream apartment. He has organized document folders and tabs already made for you. Every move was carefully planned and efficiently executed. He thought of every requirement before the board even asked us for it, and had it ready to go just in case. I’ve lived in Manhattan for 13 years and I have dealt with a lot when it comes to real estate. This REALTOR is a gem. Have you ever heard anyone say that sentence before? Exactly.

I can not recommend Matthew highly enough. Right from the first phone call when I was living in the UK with no idea where to start, Matthew went over and beyond to help and inform me. He listened to our needs and then delivered properties that met that need. He is extremely knowledgeable, very prompt and responsive and he genuinely wants to do the right thing for you. In my opinion he is an absolute gem and goes beyond your expectations. Use this man, he is fantastic!

We worked with Matthew as he tried to find a new home for our daughter. He listened to our concerns, needs and requirements and was focused on showing us properties that met our established criteria and within our price point. She is thrilled with the home that she ultimately purchased. It would not have happened without Matthew's hard work and determination

Mathew showed endless patience in my nearly 2 year search for the perfect apartment. He never pushed me to settle for something not quite perfect, and trekked our to dozens of apartments week after week until I fell in love with my current place. He is very knowledgeable about the market and has a great eye for how a space can be reworked. He handles himself well with other brokers and is a great negotiator. Always available and responsive, you feel like you are his only client. Matthew got to know my parents and kids and we all adore him! Best broker ever!

Matthew comes as highly recommended as they come. The perfect combination of professional and personal; efficient and endearing. In no way "fake" or "rehearsed". He speaks from his expertise experience and knowledge and is an absolute pleasure to deal with and will fight with you and for you until the end and even afterward. Always a top notch individual and I couldn't imagine anyone else feeling any other way.

Not only do I like Matthew Melinger as a person, but I also I respect the manner in which he approaches his work and the level of service he provides to his clients.

Given this foundation, his knowledge of New York City and the Northeast region, and his commitment to excellence, I would highly recommend Matthew for your real estate needs.

Matt is a great broker who knows what it takes to get a deal done. Not only is he a good negotiator but he also has a well-rounded outlook on the market and all the buildings in between.

Matthew is someone I would describe as a 'consummate professional,' who puts himself in the shoes of his clients to understand their vision of success. Being detail oriented is considered table stakes in NYC, and Matthew takes it to a whole new level with unparalleled response rates. It's been some time since I have worked with Matthew, but remains at the top of my list for any Manhattan-based dealings or insights and look forward to future opportunities that bring me back to his market.

I had the Privilege of working with Matthew Melinger from Living New York and the entire "MELINGER EXPERIENCE" was a dream. He was so knowledgeable about the area we wanted to rent in and only showed us apartments that fit our requirements. He was easy to talk to and receptive to our feedback and questions about apartments. I'm sure we'll stay in our place for a while, but next time I am on the hunt - I plan on working with Matt again.
