Hiring Alex Mahgoub to handle my property was the smartest decision I could have made. He was fast, flexible, honest, and he produced great results, twice.

Alex is a wholly unique broker - genuine and insightful. His guidance through the home-buying process was invaluable, and thanks to him we found the home of our dreams.

Alex really does deserve the title Super Broker! He made us feel like his most important clients throughout the process of buying our first home. He was especially vital in the bidding process, applying real analytical rigor.

As first-time buyers, we had never experienced the complicated process of buying a home in New York City. Alex made a big difference for us. He was always patient with our thousand questions, helped us make successful bids with industry intel and his experience as a negotiator, and kept us calm and positive.

Alex played a truly pivotal role for us as we searched for, found, and purchased our perfect home. He was patient while we narrowed our scope, and in that time he helped to refine our knowledge of the market so that we ultimately felt well-prepared to see, with real clarity, when a great opportunity arose. Once the right candidate did appear, Alex’s experience and instinct for negotiation were spot on - we feel he balanced the push and pull between us and the seller with a deft touch - and then guided us through the final purchasing process in an incredibly efficient time-span. We are deeply in love with the apartment we found, feel massively thankful for Alex and his help in guiding us through the process, and would feel great recommending him to anyone who’s looking.

As owners of an apartment in Gramercy Place, we've retained Alex Mahgoub to market our unit for rent over the past three years. "Amazing Results" is the way that we would describe him. On both occasions, he was able to rent our apartment out in an extremely short period of time and was able to negotiate a monthly rent close to our asking price. This broker has been exemplary in helping us achieve our objective. Thus, he has total exclusivity in marketing our place.

Alex has made us realize he is a true diamond in the rough. He has seamlessly and effortlessly found 2 separate renters for us over the last 2 years, both of which have been ideal tenants. His promptness and responsiveness to whatever situation arises is bar none the best I have experienced in almost any service based industry. Alex represents precisely what great reliable service should be. I can unequivocally offer my highest recommendation for Alex, if only there were anything higher to offer!

I relocated from Switzerland with my job this summer, and Alex came recommended to help me navigate the NY rental market for the first time. Even with my constricted schedule, he was extremely hard-working in setting up as many apartment viewings as I could handle, was dynamic and adaptable to my search changes, and always willing go the extra mile to address queries and issues with energy and enthusiasm. All in all it was an excellent experience, and I would certainly recommend him to any other new arrivals looking for a client-focused broker to guide them through the process from search to signature.

As first time buyers, we had never experienced the complicated process of buying a home in New York City. Alex made a big difference for us. He was always patient with our thousand questions, helped us make successful bids with industry intel and his experience as a negotiator, and kept us calm and positive. He is a great communicator, never offline when you most need him most and always friendly. Alex’s network of trusted professionals -mortgage bankers and lawyers was also a plus. They were as reliable and trustworthy as Alex himself. If you are looking to buy in Brooklyn, We highly recommend working with Alex.

I cannot thank Alex Mahgoub enough for helping us find a tenant for our apartment. We had to find a renter during the slow winter months, and even though he warned us it would be difficult to find a tenant quickly, this did not stop or slow Alex down. He made us feel like we were his only clients and went above and beyond to help us. Alex understood our concerns about finding a tenant, and went out of his way to put us at ease about the process. He was always available when we needed him and he is the perfect mix of professional and "fun". Alex is a pleasure to work with and I do not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who needs them.

Alex really does deserve the title Super Broker! He made us feel like his most important clients throughout the process of buying our first home. He let us work at our own pace in the search, but also kept us steadily advancing toward the goal. He was especially vital in the bidding process, applying real analytical rigor to make a competitive, yet fair, bid. His relationship building is really special - he has great contacts in the real estate attorney and mortgage broker space, and he also worked well with a provider of our own. Alex truly shepherded us through the whole journey to closing on an amazing new home. And he is a pleasure to be around!

It was a pleasure working with Alex to sell our condo for a significant profit after 5 years of ownership. He used to work in the 280 PAS rental office, and now has moved to Corcoran, so you get specialized building expertise along with the resources and marketing muscle of a major NYC real estate brokerage - it’s the best of both worlds. Alex worked tirelessly to find the perfect buyer for our transaction, resulting in an all-cash sale at a record-high $/SF for a 2-bed in the building. I would not hesitate to work with him again and to recommend him to anyone who is buying, selling, or renting - especially in 280 Park Ave South.

There aren't enough words to describe what a great experience I had with Alex. It put me at ease to know that he shared the same goals in renting out my apartment and the entire process was seamless. He handled my tenant like a champion as she was possibly the most difficult human one could encounter. His knowledge and resources were endless and his work ethic is impeccable. Going above and beyond, Alex was consistent and dependable for his responses, impressively patient and most importantly, he was extremely comforting in our time of stress. There is no doubt that he is one of the best out there and we were lucky to have him.

We were so lucky that friends of ours recommended Alex as our broker. We first brought Alex on after we found a new condo we intended to purchase. He could have encouraged us to buy the apartment and closed in a matter of weeks with virtually no work on his part. Instead Alex encouraged us, first time homebuyers, to consider other options. So began a nearly year-long relationship that led us to finding an amazing apartment we never realized we wanted! He introduced us to other neighborhoods and different styles of apartments. Over time he helped us build an understanding of the marketplace and the options available to us. He pushed us outside of our comfort zone, which led to important discoveries: rather than new construction, actually our preferences leaned pre-war; while we assumed our price range limited us to Brooklyn, actually there were some surprising deals to be had in Manhattan. Through it all Alex was patient and respectful. He never pressured us to increase our budget. In fact, the apartment we ultimately bought was less expensive than that first one we intended to buy. He was always available, replying to emails and texts at all hours, and lining up appointments for showings with very little notice. He always made us feel like a priority, even though he is often working with several clients. His insights were critical during the stressful process of bidding. And his advice was much appreciated through our co-op application and interview. The process of buying an apartment in NYC is formidable. Having a knowledgeable and effective broker is a must. Alex ticks those boxes, but it’s his positive energy and enthusiasm that really sets him apart. He’s a nice guy- and you can’t say that about all brokers. We’ve already recommended Alex to friends who now have their own positive experience to share.

Partnering with Alex to find my first home was a fantastic experience. For example, he spent countless Saturdays taking me to different places and then soliciting my feedback so he could really hone in on condos/coops that met my criteria. In addition, he did extensive pricing analysis write ups that gave me confidence during the bidding process. Most importantly, not only is Alex a consummate professional, but he is also a genuinely nice guy who cares about his clients. As such, I enthusiastically recommend working with Alex.

First and foremost, Alex is a professional who brings something to the table that no other broker I've worked with in NYC has, genuineness. Nothing he brings to the table is fake. Coming from a small town, I needed to work with someone who shares the same attributes yet has true NYC knowledge and experience, so that my expectations can be met - not managed. There's a big difference between the two, and Alex made the division. It showed me he genuinely cared about me, my financial situation, and my living situation. Furthermore, and the main reason why I've referred him to friends, is because with Alex, the job doesn't stop after paperwork is filed - Alex will continue to care and make sure everything is exactly the way it was expected to be.

Alex is a miracle worker. My husband and I needed to find a rental for a quick move to Brooklyn. We were fortunate enough to find Alex, who helped us achieve our goal of a great new apartment in a mere 1.5 days. But it wasn't without a huge amount of work on his part. He listened well to what we were looking for and then assembled a large number of apartments to view that he thought would meet our needs. He is well organized and efficient. He responds promptly to questions. He is also a pleasure to run with...he knows the city well and was an excellent guide to two newcomers to the area. We couldn't be more happy with the service he provided. He is honest, hard-working, and eager to serve. What more could one want in an agent?

We were probably amongst the most difficult clients to work with. Moving to NYC to set up a business meant we had no employer, no credit history and little time to find an apartment. Alex had arranged viewings over our first 2 days and really made sure that we saw a wide range apartment types to help us narrow down what we wanted. Even dealing with a difficult landlord didn’t knock him off course, Alex had fantastic alternatives within 24 hours. It was great to be able to trust Alex to lead everything from asking the tough questions at viewings to negotiating the final package. We collected the keys 7 days after choosing our apartment and were UNDER budget – surely a record for NYC! It was genuinely a pleasure to spend time with Alex and work with someone who made what could’ve been a stressful process, easy. We will use Alex again.

I first used Alex Mahgoub two years ago as a trusted resource for renting my apartment to place the perfect tenant. After my tenant’s lease ran out and they decided to move I went to Alex to get his thoughts on the real estate market and to see if he thought it was a good time to be a seller in Brooklyn. Alex assisted me in pricing the apartment at an attractive number that I was very comfortable with and he did a fantastic job at marketing the apartment. His hard work resulted in a very large turnout for the first open house that exceeded my expectations and lead to several offers over asking the following day. I would like to again emphasize Alex's strong communication skills and his positive guidance as he kept me fully informed and confident during the selling process. As a seller, I could not have asked for a better real estate broker and I continue to recommend Alex to anyone I know looking to buy, sell or rent in NYC.

Hiring Alex Mahgoub to handle my property was the smartest decision I could have made. He was fast, flexible, honest, and he produced great results, twice. First I asked him to rent out my condo; I was in a rush, and he got me an excellent price, quickly and easily. I travel a lot for work, and I was worried this would affect things. I couldn´t have been more mistaken: Alex handled everything. He made it easy. When I decided to sell, Alex put together a strategy to get the apartment sold quickly and for the best price possible in a softening market. His negotiation skills helped me get a higher price than I originally thought and we were in contract in a few weeks! I couldn’t be more pleased with how he performed. Since I moved to South America, I needed Alex to be around from start to finish and he went out of his way to make sure my tenant was taken care of during this process which was important to me. Thanks for all your help.

Alex was wholeheartedly dedicated to my rental search and application process, helping me feel supported and in the best of hands during a process that can so easily be overwhelming. We first connected a few months before the search began, and he did a great job of setting my expectations and leading the process from day one. He was always connected and always made me feel like a priority. When an unforeseen issue came up, he was a stern negotiator and resolved it without hesitation. While this was our first time working together, I cannot think of anyone else I would want to work with for my next rental or future sale in the years ahead!
