“Where to even begin!!
Megan-- You have been absolutely incredible since the moment we met you. When we first met you back in 2020, we had no idea where to live, what we wanted, or how to go about buying our first home. You helped guide us every step of the way. Your expertise and wealth of knowledge of the real estate market, mortgages, and neighborhoods is invaluable. And best of all, you share that knowledge in such a kind and non-judgmental way (despite our complete cluelessness).
You helped find our first home and got us to the finish line in making the most important purchase of our lives at that point. We are so grateful to you for helping us find our first home in Carroll Gardens, where we welcomed home both of our babies and expanded our family.
Fast forward four years-- We learned that your advice in finding an apartment in Carroll Gardens was also the best investment we have made--as evidenced by the price point that you sold it at only four years later!! As soon as we contacted you, you were ready to get to work again for us and our family. You had an honest and thoughtful conversation with us about the price point and arranged for everything needed to get the apartment on the market as fast as possible. Through multiple open houses, showings, and bidding wars, you worked tirelessly to get us the best sale possible price for us. The fact that you continued to show the apartment even after we had an offer shows how hard you worked. I mean you made real estate HISTORY with the sale!!
You are a freaking rockstar. It's just that simple.
We are so thankful we found you. Thank you again for all your hard work.

“Megan has been incredible to work with over the last few years. From finding a tenant and managing a lease, to helping me find a dream condo, she's gone above and beyond. My closing turned into a bit of an adventure, and Megan was extremely communicative, proactive, and tactically helpful. She connected me with the lender that ultimately issued the mortgage, and helped me manage negotiations with the seller on the contract and punch list. She also connected me with a designer, to top it off.
I'd 100% work with Megan again. Can't recommend her enough.

“Many thanks for your work on selling my mother's apt.
From the first conversations you were as you were throughout:
Well prepared, Deeply knowledgeable and informed about the market.
Positive. As the months went on: You brought in partners as needed.
Thought about a restructured plan for marketing in a smart and effective way.
Kept me informed without adding extra work to my plate & suggested good attorneys.
Always responsive in a quick, clear, positive and helpful way.
You were honest and open about negotiations, fees, typical practices, exceptions.
What more could a seller want?

“Megan Niwinski never missed a beat! She was so diligent in the way she took care of me, she truly is an asset to her company and the real estate profession. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know who's looking for an apartment to buy or sell in NYC!

“Megan and our working relationship (and friendship!) started in 2020. We were looking for an apartment in Brooklyn but after a very difficult near completion on an apartment, it fell through. Megan was just amazing throughout the whole process and her knowledge on Brooklyn real estate is second to none. Fast forward to 2024, we are living in CT but were looking for a pied-a-terre in Manhattan. I immediately reached out to Megan. She facilitated the whole process - apartment viewing to closing without us even coming into the city once. She navigated us through the very difficult board package process with such an extensive knowledge on what was needed to be successful. We are so happy our NYC home search was easier the second time around and this would not have been possible without Megan. We trusted her implicitly on finding us exactly what we needed. Not only did she navigate the whole buying process for us, she was also able to put us in touch with a contractor for once we closed. If you are looking to buy in NYC look no further. We cannot recommend her enough. She truly is a pro at what she does. Thank you so much, Megan!”

“My experience searching for and buying an apartment with Megan was truly wonderful. She was so proactive, communicative, detail oriented, and thoughtful about every step of the process. I felt like she was tangibly invested in us finding the right home for our family, and that it wasn't simply a transaction. I would recommend her (and have) to anyone who asks.

“I really got lucky with Megan Niwinski. She was thorough, meticulous, and prompt.
Megan is always positive, always energetic, and cheerful, and always responded to my questions quickly and with answers full of facts and details. If I were going to pursue another real estate adventure in the NYC area, I would not hesitate to reach out to Megan.
My real estate lawyer called Megan "one of the best in the business".

“We can't say enough good things about Megan's perseverance and guidance through the home-buying process. Megan was an astonishingly helpful team member for my family as we searched for a home in Brooklyn between the first tours in October 2020 and the closing in May 2021.
Megan was calm and patient. We were not ideal clients because we didn't know what type of apartment we were looking for or where. For several months Megan showed us apartments in many different neighborhoods, and listened to our conversations about what we did and didn't like. She was somehow able to keep turning up apartments we were interested in seeing until eventually one fit our taste and budget. The point here is that on quite a few occasions when we were frustrated with what we were seeing in our price-range she let us know that we could/should keep looking and making offers until we landed the right place at the right price. It was helpful to have an agent who truly wanted us to find the right place, and enjoyed the work of the search. There was no pressure to settle for less.
We were helped massively by Megan's connections in the industry. Megan recommended our lawyer, inspector, mortgage broker and even painter at the new apartment. We did well with all of her recommendations. Having people she knew meant that she was able to project-manage and keep communication flowing through the lengthy co-op board approval process, and all the way through closing.
The other talent that Megan brought to our process is the unquantifiable sense of the deal itself and how to work with people. She had ideas about where the market was going, how much to bid on each apartment, how to keep in communication with the listing agent, and how to keep us informed. These are the kinds of things we couldn't have done right on our own. She even pushed us to get our paperwork submitted when we were dropping behind. She kept everyone moving, and it was a successful closing.
From our experience, I would wholeheartedly recommend Megan for a home search, and would ask for her help again if we every have to leave our wonderful apartment for some reason.
