“We hired Melissa Alonso as our listing broker to represent the sale of our Upper West Side apartment, and within 30 days she presented 2 offers, and we chose the best one. Melissa was very professional and really knows the business, and a total pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her. “

Melissa was a pleasure to work with throughout my entire experience as a first time buyer navigating the NYC Co-op market. She was patient, listened closely to my interests, and was never pushy. Melissa even went above and beyond to get repair estimates for me the day before my closing so that I wouldn’t be stressed. I felt like I was being represented by a close friend who cared about me and didn’t just care about making a sale. I would refer Melissa to anyone looking for an honest broker who truly cares about her clients.

Ariana C- Assistant Director, Professional Billing Operations at NYU Langone Health

"As I take possession of my co-op apartment on Fifth Avenue, I must thank you for your good work and terrific performance over these last months as my realtor here on 80th Street. Throughout my relations with you---during an extremely competitive moment in the realty market---your savvy and congenial manner that you brought to each showing of my apartment as well as your careful attention to every detail of the negotiation as we went along, it is hard to imagine you achieving anything less than great success in you NYC real estate career."----Margot F. H.

"I had the pleasure of working with Melissa when searching for a coop in Manhattan. She was very responsive, and patient going through every detail of the process of a coop purchase in Manhattan. She really worked hard to make the process look easy for me. I was also very happy with the real estate attorney she recommended. Really appreciate her help purchasing my first house. I would strongly recommend her to help you buy your next coop/condo in Manhattan."

--John Yen, Financial Strategist, Barclay Bank

" It was a pleasure to work with Melissa in my search for a NYC apartment. She is professional, extremely qualified and knows the market well. I provided, to Melissa, my requirements as well as price point, and she was extremely adept at providing me with a, well qualified, list of apartments to review. Together, we narrowed the list to those best suited for me. Melissa understood that I was moving from out of town and would have a limited amount of time for viewings and decision making in NYC. She set appointments, in an orderly manner, to make the best use of our time to maximize our efforts. With her help, I was able to find 3 apartments that warranted serious consideration and then settle on what has become my new home. And all accomplished with one day "on the ground"!. I would strongly recommend Melissa Alonso!"
