Ben was so incredibly helpful! We were moving from out of town and had one short day in the city to find our next home. He efficiently lined up showings for all the apartments we were interested in and then successfully helped us negotiate terms for the one we chose. He offered to be our boots on the ground while we tried to arrange our arrival from halfway across the country and he even reached out after we moved in to make sure everything went smoothly. We hope not to move again for a long while but when we do, we will absolutely give Ben a call. Highly recommend!

We worked with Ben to purchase our first home in NY and it was a fantastic experience. Ben was patient and really listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the home we wanted. He is super knowledgeable and has an extensive network which allowed us to navigate every single hurdle / issue that came up seamlessly. I honestly don't think we would have gotten there without Ben's expertise and incredible care. Ben is a wonderful person to work with, accessible and just such a pleasure to work with and have in our corner. He was always extremely responsive and would take the time to provide helpful context, advice and think through pros / cons of different options. We would recommend him without hesitation.

We worked with Benjamin Dixon and his team in the Hamptons for almost a year to find our dream home in Bridgehampton. It is never an easy process to find a house, but Ben was the perfect partner who guided us all the way through with the greatest of ease including introducing us to a great lender and lawyer. We especially appreciated his level-headedness in the process at all times, which I cannot say was always the case for us. He calmed our nerves frequently and gave us hope and great direction. THEN ... after the sale he has been there to introduce us to great people out east who have been able to help us with various things around the house that always come up in home ownership. We would highly recommend Benjamin Dixon if you are looking for a home in the Hamptons, or in New York City.

It's hard to put into words just how extraordinary Ben Dixon and the whole Mackay Dixon Team at Douglas Elliman is. I've truly never met a broker like Ben in my entire life. He's the most thoughtful, attentive, kind, and brilliant broker! He anticipated my needs and wants and articulated them better than even I could. He guided me through not only the arduous process of finding, but also every step of buying my dream home. He was incredibly responsive at all hours of the day and helpful above and beyond all expectation. From filling out paperwork, to finding lawyers, painters, cleaners, architects, and so much more. The process of buying a home can be so anxiety producing and Ben made it not only stress-free, but also fun! I simply could not recommend Ben and his team more highly.

I work in real estate marketing and – without exaggeration – know at least a thousand New York City brokers. When I decided to purchase my first apartment, I didn’t even have to think about who to work with. Ben and Matthew are simply the best.
They and their team are extremely hard-working, reliable, trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable, patient, fun to work with, and made the entire experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. I always felt they had my best interest at heart, and that the guidance they offered was that of a friend, not a business trying to turn a profit. They could have easily talked me into a number of purchases early on in the process to save themselves some time (and likely earn a higher commission), but instead they were extremely patient and understanding of all of my concerns and hesitations.
They eventually helped me find my perfect home for an incredible price. Ben was even able to negotiate a 10 percent price reduction AFTER the contract was signed! I cannot say enough good things about The Mackay Dixon Team. If you’re looking to buy or sell in NYC or the Hamptons, this is who you want to have in your corner.

I cannot rave enough about Christian Poppell and the Mackay | Dixon team! As a NJ native who was unfamiliar with the NYC market, this process seemed intimidating and I had no idea where to start. Christian was informative, helpful and patient, making it feel as though he wanted me to find the perfect apartment just as much as I did. I definitely would not have had the same great experience without Christian's insight and expertise. I am so thankful that I had him as a resource and a friend during this process!!

Hands the kindest most thoughtful real estate team I’ve ever had the chance to work with. Summer 2022 has been a mess for renting markets in NYC and the team made moving out of my rental condo a breeze, making sure to handle any logistics around new tenants moving into the unit and working with board management companies on my behalf. Ben and Harry are the best at ensuring you feel supported throughout your move in/move out process— don’t look anywhere else but these guys!

I've used Mackay - Dixon twice, both as a seller's representative and as a buyer's representative. The most recent time, Mackay-Dixon represented me as a buyer of a co-op when I was 3,000 miles away. Matthew is trustworthy, intelligent, calm, experienced, well-networked, extremely competent, and imminently knowledgeable. The Mackay-Dixon team's service level is tremendous; their responsiveness is unparalleled in my experience; and their follow-through and execution is always on point.

Exceptional! Ben sold our Chelsea co-op unit and helped us buy a new condo throughout the covid pandemic. Ben professionally led the whole process from listing, through the negotiations until the closings. As we were hesitant to make a move during the pandemic, Ben was patient enough to arrange visits to the unit we purchased and even came to the numerous punch-list walkthroughs we had. He's clearly done this many times, so he was extra helpful during the negotiations and legal paperwork.

I recently used The Mackay | Dixon Team for the sale of my NYC apartment. I was very impressed with their market knowledge as well as their sales strategy for our 2 bed 2 bath in the EV. They produced mazing marketing materials and lined up a great selection of buyers both via an open-house as well as individual appointments. My apartment went 'live' over a weekend and by the following Tuesday we had 3 offers for the apartment, all of which were above asking price which I was absolutely thrilled with. Their guidance and recommendations through the sales process was seamless and Ben especially was very responsive with no question being too small for him. I closed 6 weeks following the initial offer from the buyer and definitely couldn't have done that without such a professional team. I would highly recommend them to other sellers and buyers.

I worked with the Ben & Matthew for the sale of my home in Sag Harbor and the purchase of an apartment in Chelsea, and in both cases I would highly recommend their services to anyone. They were incredibly professional, quick to respond to my questions, and well prepared as matters came up throughout the transactions. In the Sag Harbor sale, their real estate sales strategy created a competitive bidding war with multiple offers and my home selling above ask! Who could ask for more?!?
For my Chelsea apt search, they accompanied me on many, many apartment viewings and helped me to narrow the focus of my search to discover what it was I was ultimately looking for. When we finally identified the apt, a prewar co-op in Chelsea, the board package and financing hurdles seemed like a daunting task to me... but not to the Mackay Dixon team! What I love most about their team is that they really are a team- Ben & Matthew’s group handled the majority of the board package paperwork for me, and even linked me with other professionals to assist with legal, banking and renovation matters. Their counsel was invaluable as a new buyer in the city. I couldn’t offer higher praise to this Dynamic Duo and the rest of the broader team who supports them!

We were referred to Ben Dixon through a trusted friend who has used Ben's services for many years. When we spoke with him, we immediately liked his style, professionalism and responsiveness. He very quickly understood what we were looking for and sent us some great and relevant apartments to look at through their portal. He really went out of his way to show us places initially via zoom as it was right in the middle of covid. Ben made the process of finding our ideal apartment very easy and helped us navigate through the rather complicated and tricky NY property market. We had a rather challenging seller for a variety of reason, however, Ben methodically solved all the hurdles and kept us at ease and in the loop every step of the way. We also met his partner, Matt, who was great and always available to step in when Ben was not available and made the process easy and kept the wheels in motion. Ben and Matt were both a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends and network of contacts and would absolutely work with them again.

Matthew, Benjamin and team were exceptional from the moment I contacted them. I needed help with a COOP on the USW that had a death resulting in a difficult estate sale. They were attentive and responsive throughout the whole process, and even recommended a contractor that did an excellent job. There were so many barriers to getting this sale done and they conquered all of them. I had an offer within 4 months of listing due to their spot on pricing. The contract was signed the day before the Covid lockdown. And even with a difficult coop board and buyer, we managed to close during lockdown. I had never bought or sold a place in NYC, and they made the whole experience positive and seamless. All of this was done while I was living in London and couldn't come back to NYC. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew and Benjamin and will use them if I ever need to buy a place in NYC.

Absolutely the best team to work with for a property investment in the Hamptons. Ben not only helped us find the right property with a huge potential for value creation, but his well established connections in the Hamptons market helped us assemble a team of professionals, including the contractor, architect, and most importantly the expeditors for the health and building departments. These relationships really helped to moved mountains in the permits arena. This made a huge difference on the timeline of the project, which included a gut renovation with a new pool, turning it from typically an 18 month timeline to being finished in only 5 months — record time in my experience! This was an incredible value add from Ben and Matthew’s team. I strongly recommend their solid and professional services and I am happy to make myself available if you need further details on my experience working with them.

As I met a lot of realtors during my search I can say that Jad was by far the most professional one. He's trustworthy, responsive, accurate, always on time, fast, friendly, and simply a nice guy to work with. No wonder I found and signed my rental with him in the end :-) Highly recommended realtor!!

Ben and Matthew are incredible at what they do and I can't recommend them enough. They're super professional and responsive. They know the market better than anyone and had a great sense of the types of apartments that my husband and I would be interested in. They made the process as easy as possible from showing us listings to walking us through our first purchase in Manhattan. Even after closing they've continued to share their invaluable network of professionals with us as we make our house a home.

I cannot recommend Ben and Matt highly enough. I worked closely with Ben on the purchase of my new home and he was an outstanding advisor and advocate every step of the way. Ben and Matt went above and beyond to help with every aspect of my purchase from offer to contract negotiation to closing, and their hard work made the process seamless and easy. They were exceptionally responsive, organized and professional, as well as a pleasure to work with.

Incredibly professional, savvy and practical. We got multiple offers within two weeks in a very tough market.

Loved working with Ben on our home purchase. This was our second time to buy a home in Manhattan and we found that it was much easier with Ben by our side! Highly recommend!

Ben Dixon is a focused, warm and driven estate agent who provides confidence. One of my best experiences with anybody from this profession. I’d recommend him without hesitation.

Ben and Jamie were awesome to work with. We were relocating out of NY and needed to find renters for our 3-bed condo in LIC. From the minute we got in touch, Ben and Jaime worked tirelessly; photos, video, glossy brochure, the whole nine yards. They were always around to show the apartment and did as many open houses as necessary to get the job done. Even while we were abroad they always kept in touch with us and were extremely responsive with advice and updates. Extremely professional, highly efficient team. Would recommend without hesitation!

Ben and Matt are simply the best. We bought our new apartment from Matthew and were so impressed we hired him to sell our old apartment. It had already been listed by another agent, but Matthew dressed it up and created more foot traffic than the old broker and we quickly found a buyer. We need special attention as our new apartment wasnt ready when our buyer wanted to close, and Matthew and Ben worked with us and the new buyer to ensure that it all went smoothly. Both of these guys are A+ in professionalism and personability. I would recommend these guys without hesitation.

In a tough market, they were able to get the job done! I would work with the Mackay Dixon team again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their apartment. Great team to work with!

This summer and fall, Ben and Matt worked with us to find our dream apartment. When we first met, we told them what we were looking for and they helped us narrow our search and prioritize our needs. Every apt they showed us could have been it; they didn't waste a minute of our time. Once we found our place, they helped us every step of the way - applications, contracts, financials, closing. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They know the city, they know the market, they are really good at what they do!

I just bought a condo in Manhattan, as a first time buyer! Ben and Matt were really wonderful. My list of questions was long, my requests to go see the apartment were numerous, and my knowledge at the beginning was nil... but they were super helpful and patient with me. They also had great perspective on each aspect of the process. I will definitely use them when I sell this apartment (hopefully a LONG time from now)!

Ben and Matt are the best! We couldn't have done it without them. They made our biggest purchase seamless and easy, and were a huge help every step of the way. Could not recommend them highly enough.

We have used several agents over the years and our experience with Ben and the team has, by far, been the best! From a results point of view they were able -even in a challenging market environment -- to meet our business needs faster and more effectively than we had imagined possible. From an execution perspective, they engaged in the full spectrum of marketing & sales activity (frequent open houses, follow-ups with all leads, great photography and listing, etc.), we received continuous communication and status updates, and then great coordination with all parties to close the deal. Finally, everyone on the team was on top of all the details throughout the process and they were always friendly and easy to deal with.

I cannot recommend Ben and Matt enough. As a first time buyer, I thought the process might be intimidating -- Ben and Matt walked me through each step, were highly responsive with my many questions and really listened to my needs and concerns (and made sure they were met). I really felt that I had a lot of personal attention. I would 100% work with them again, and recommend them to my friends and family.

We worked with Ben and Matthew on 3 deals (2 sales and 1 purchase) in the past 10 months. They have a good pulse on the market, provided us with excellent guidance, and were very attentive. With the purchase of our new place, I was expecting the search to take a couple of months. They understood exactly what we wanted. We looked at 20+ apts in 2 days...almost each one checked all of our boxes. We settled on a great loft, on a quiet cobblestone block with lots of charm. With the sales of our apartments, we had multiple offers on each. I am very pleased with Ben & Matthew and would work with them again.

Until we hired Ben and Matt, we couldn't sell our UES apartment. They took a property with a problem and sold it for above asking price within 10 days of taking over the listing. They worked hard for us, and were always in contact and very responsive to us. They made the process relatively painless. I don't recommend very easily, but I would recommend Ben and Matt unsolicited and without reservation. I am so, so happy we found them.
