Phenomenal experience working with Mick. Buying a house is already a nightmare on it's own, much less trying to buy one in Brooklyn of all places. There's countless hidden pitfalls all over the place when dealing with incredibly antiquated buildings. And above all, the cultural subtleties of the neighborhood that can't just be read about online, and having a local neighborhood resident with a genuine stake in the community represent you is priceless.
The townhouse I bought took just shy of 7 months from contract to closing, filled with untold amounts of bureaucratic red tape with attorneys, city, etc. With what was supposedly one of his most time-to-closing longest transaction to date, Mick kept a solid and persistent work ethic throughout it all. From the start, Mick was very forth-coming and honest with the suggested listings and open houses, spotting countless details that I missed out on during open houses.
Above all, Mick continues to maintain a very amicable relationship post transaction too. Often times real estate agents will up off and disappear the moment their check cashes, but Mick continues to check in and interact with his clients afterwards, with genuine sincerity.

Mick O'Connor made selling our Brooklyn brownstone easy — he did all the work! From forecasting the exact sale price, to arranging a staging consultant, a house cleaning crew, and a pair of green-thumbed gardeners Mick was always patient, inventive, and good-humored throughout. Within a few weeks of listing, we had two cash offers and we managed to close on our Brooklyn house one day and close on our Berkshires house within 24 hours. Oh, and Mick accomplished all this during the most challenging of pandemic protocols! Well done, Mick!

We bought our house at the height of the pandemic, in a very competitive market, and Mick was the best guide we could ask for. He is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us excellent support throughout the entire the process, with all its ups and downs. He is very communicative, direct, and honest, and always advocated for our best interests. Since closing we’ve remained in close touch and he’s given us great advice and tips, including recommending various contractors (all of whom have been amazing to work with), home insurance, and more. He is a true expert, and I can’t recommend working with him enough!!
