Cristina Salmastrelli

Buying and selling real estate in NYC is a wonderful and terrifying adventure. An emotional rollercoaster with many nail-biting, anxiety producing, stressful moments. Brandon and Mallory will take all of your worries, stresses, anxieties from you and handle them FOR YOU. YES, FOR YOU! They took are beautiful home and sold it to a wonderful couple so that my family of four could buy our dream apartment. They are the best of the best. They went above and beyond every day for us. We were and still are so impressed and thankful for all they did for us. They have become family to us. My husband and I are beyond lucky to have found this dynamic duo. They truly made our dreams come true. Because of them, this is the magic we get to experience every day.

Ben Kofron

We worked with Brandon and Mallory to both buy a new apartment AND sell our old apartment within two weeks of each other. Thanks to the amazing Bogard Team what could have been a tedious and stressful process was smooth and went off without the slightest hitch. Their guidance and expertise made staging, listing and selling our previous unit as seamless as it could have been. On the other side, they helped us find a perfect new home that met all of our criteria even down to the actual block! Without a doubt, the best agents we’ve ever worked with by miles. When it comes time to do this again, they are the first and last call we’ll make. Can’t recommend them more highly.

Alec Hall

Brandon and Mallory are the best real estate agents I've ever worked with. Aside from being great people, they were always on top of everything, and also helped me get linked up with the right mortgage brokers to make the deal happen.

Mark Burwick

I had an excellent experience with my broker Caitelin, who was always quick to respond and react, always informative and supportive. Her attentiveness and professionalism made the turbulent waters of New York real estate much easier to navigate. She and the Bogard NY Team were very reliable and I wholeheartedly recommend working with them.

We interviewed four broker teams prior to listing our Brooklyn apartment for sale. From our first interaction, it was clear that Mallory and Brandon brought the most experience, deepest understanding of the market, and highest level of professionalism to the sales process. They confidently recommended the highest listing price, quickly developed a plan to list and sell our unit, and executed the sales process precisely as planned. They have excellent 3rd party vendors who marketed our unit in the best light - the staging expert, photographer, videographer, floor plan drafter, and copy editor - every touchpoint was experienced and professional. Their results speak for themselves- they found a full ask offer after less than a week on the market, then deftly navigated a complex sales process with poise and grace.

Miranda De Lima

Brandon and Mallory are a great team to work with. I met Brandon over 5 years ago purchasing our first condo. Since then we have bought and sold and hopefully buy again with them. They are quick to answer and always looking out for our best interest. We live over seas so it’s very helpful to have a team you can trust. Thanks so much.

Shep Young

Imagine trying to find a condo in the middle of a pandemic from hundreds of miles away. Mallory did an extraordinary job of making us feel like we were visiting the properties in person. We couldn't be happier about the outcome.

Diana Greenwald

My daughter called every real estate agent in Brooklyn. She spoke to 26 agents and by the end of the day knew she wanted to work with Brandon. He responded rapidly, was respectful and asked pointed questions. With every apartment visit, he worked to learn what my children needed.. Within 2 weeks, he found the perfect apartment. For several reasons, it was difficult to find a mortgage broker. Brandon did not give up and we worked with a terrific mortgage broker. Of course, Brandon also referred us to an excellent real estate lawyer to use. He held our hands though out the whole real estate process. He was ethical and good humored. Our Condo closed this week (September 2021). We could not have made this happen without Brandon and his team.

Nicholas Nicassio

My wife and I were incredibly lucky to work with Mallory for our co-op purchase. I would highly recommend her with confidence. Her work was A+++... in every way I can think of. From our first meeting all the way to closing, she understood our needs at every step, provided us with all of the relevant knowledge to help us make decisions, and promptly kept us in the loop at each new stage of the process. Buying a home can be a stressful process, but it was Mallory that we knew we could absolutely count on the whole time.

Abraham Marder

Mallory was phenomenal to work with from beginning to end. She was kind, patient, knowledgeable and followed through on every promise made. She was able to not only give feedback on design, pricing, etc. but also listened and collaborated incredibly well with all she came in contact with. Mallory also priced our place perfectly and well above what other realtors said it deserved. I didn’t work directly with Brandon but if Mallory is any indication, I’m sure he’s great too. Highly recommend.

Dafna Gottesman

It was such a pleasure working with Brandon! Every step of the way, he was patient, supportive, resourceful and helpful, always willing to answer any questions that I had throughout all of our work together (and I had many). And on top of that, he managed to help me achieve an ideal outcome that I didn't actually think was possible. Thank you so much Caitelin as well for your help and patience! Brandon, I'm looking forward to staying in touch while I am in NYC and working together again.

Lily Wyckoff

I worked with Brandon this winter on finding/closing on our duplex in Greenpoint. He was honestly the best—A hybrid therapist and broker in one! Incredibly knowledgeable and dynamic, he understood exactly what we were looking for and helped us find it, gave us market context that we didn’t have and assisted us throughout the deal. He was super responsive and on top of it—We found him to be the only reliable part of buying a home in the city, if I’m honest. If he didn’t have an answer he could direct me to someone who could, ASAP. Will work with Brandon for all home purchases in the future, without a doubt.

Allisyn Levy

We feel fortunate to have worked with Brandon on buying & selling our home. He was empathetic to our sensitivities & sentimentalities that come along with uprooting our home after many years. He was dedicated to helping us find the right buyers for our apartment and navigating a small coop, & committed to finding us a dreamy home that checked off the many items on our wishlist. Brandon is an excellent communicator, & went above & beyond to make sure we understood & felt comfortable with each step of the process. We highly recommend Brandon & his team.

Christopher Bier

Brandon is a total professional that knows how to market a property in today’s day and age. He thinks outside the box and crafts the marketing strategy specifically to your property. If you’re trying to sell your property for top dollar, Brandon and his team are a wonderful choice.

Pablo Douzoglou

Brandon and his team were super prepared and knowledgeable. They guided us through the sale of our apt with plenty of information and had the right ideas to get us noticed. We were very impressed with how smooth everything went from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Evan Schneyer

Brandon is AWESOME. I've worked with him multiple times on both sides of the transaction and for both sales and rentals. After 15+ years in NYC, I'm psyched to have finally found a great real estate agent who is both excellent at his job and takes a long-term partnership view with his clients.

Brian Weiss

Mallory and Brandon were motivated and knowledgeable. They got the job done. I recommend them highly.

Juliette Lola Hainline

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mallory as my buyer’s agent. This was my first time going through the purchasing process and Mallory (and Brandon, too!) helped me at every step of the way: finding my dream apartment, preparing all the appropriate documents, advising me on the ins and outs of co-ops, and overall, being a trusted source of support and communication. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Yorgos Askalidis

I don't even want to think what my first apartment purchase experience would have been like, had it not been for Brandon and Mallory. They were true partners for me in this endeavour, helping every step of the way. They helped me find the place, take thorough videos to send me, arranged for the inspection to be done, handled all communications with the seller and even with my attorney and bank. And when all this was over, Brandon even dropped off a very nice, thoughtful gift to get my new apartment into the christmas spirit. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Justin Roper

Brandon and Mallory are tireless workers and add tremendous credence and professionalism to the real estate profession. They are always available and eager to make their clients happy. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market for high-end real estate services.

Nada A.

Brandon and Mallory are a wonderful team - pleasant to work with, talked me off the edge several times, and always got my homes sold for amazing prices! I have worked with them on the sale of 3 properties and rental of 1 - they are amazing!

Sam B.

I would 100% recommend Brandon to anyone who's asking. He listed and sold my apartment and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. He's professional, enthusiastic and responsive. He surrounds himself with a solid team and stays on top of things. Not only was he an ace, but everyone he recommended to me was too. From initial contact to closing day, I felt like he was solidly in my corner.

My husband and I, new empty nesters, were planning a move to NYC after 30 years in the Boston area. We didn't know if we should rent for a while and then buy, or just go for a purchase. We didn't even know at first if we wanted to go for Manhattan or Brooklyn. We found Mallory by chance, after clicking on a 'talk to an agent' link on a rental listing. She generously spent nearly an hour with us on the phone, explaining the ins and outs of all our different options. Ultimately, we decided to buy rather than rent, and by this time, we'd had many informative conversations with the ever-patient Mallory. After looking at a bunch of places, we decided on a still-under-construction condo, and she guided us through various tricky moments with calm and common sense. We never got the feeling she was just trying to hold a deal together. We always felt she was a trusted confidante, advisor and frien…

What a team! These two are going to be NY's power real estate couple in about a half a minute - if they aren't already. Highly recommend them for their knowledge, personal attention and great personalities.

Sue S.

We had an amazing experience with the Bogard New York Team! They were so good to work with. They were committed to us and the sale of our co-op. They persevered until the right buyer came along at the right time. They were able to shift their marketing strategy to ensure our co-op continued to be seen and sold during the Coronavirus pandemic. They are responsive, incredibly nice, and consummate professionals. We give them the highest rating!

Dan D

Mallory and Brandon are both incredibly dedicated, personable and professional NYC-based real estate agents. They have a good eye, and look out for your best interests, and they have the data from Compass to inform their decisions. Highly recommended.

Eric D.

We worked with Brandon and Mallory to sell our home and purchase a new one all during the pandemic. On the sale side they were well prepared and did the due diligence to price our home spot on at the max the market would bear. We were confident in the thoroughness of their analysis and their knowledge of the market. We did not question the pricing recommendation. To prepare the property for listing they brought in a highly skilled photographer and recorded a video. They personally spent time reviewing all the photos and the video to ensure only the best shots/frames were used and we spent the better part of a week wordsmithing the details of the listing with them directly involved. When the listing was brought to market it was featured in multiple real estate newsletters (extra work on their part to market) in addition to the standard listing services.

When the listing was brought to market it was featured in multiple real estate newsletters (extra work on their part to market) in addition to the standard listing services. During negotiations with very opportunistic buyers and their brokers they were firm and got the deal done close enough to asking that everyone was very happy. We had an accepted offer within 3 weeks of listing and a smooth close. It was clear from the onset that this team is very experienced in the NY market and has a strong network of experts, which they know how to use, to provide sellers with the best that their agency has to offer. They were agile in how they adapted their process to the COVID market. Throughout the process were treated as though we were their only customers even though we knew they were handling multiple sales simultaneously along with trying to find homes for prospective buyers. They were always quick to respond to texts and phone calls and never unavailable. On the purchase side we dealt with a highly competitive bidding war but they helped us navigate it and we are very happy with our new home with no regrets at all. Based on this experience we would highly recommend them especially if you are looking for a different and personalized experience.

I have worked with Brandon and Mallory on multiple deals, both as buyer and seller. They are a versatile team that will hustle on behalf of their clients to get them the best deal. On top of giving advice and supporting clients in weighing options, they are creative, stay on top of market trends and data, respond quickly, and equally importantly, they have taste. They are the type of personable yet professional people you want to represent you and your home, and time again they have proven that can get the job done well!

Adam R.

Mallory and Brandon were absolutely fantastic brokers for us. They are organized, transparent, and very knowledgeable of the local market in Brooklyn. They had great instincts on pricing and process - we were able to attract multiple offers above asking price and go into contract after one open house. They were always respectful and professional with us and with the buy-side brokers, which helped ensure that all parties felt good about the transaction. Once we were in contract, they helped us keep things moving and close on schedule despite a global pandemic! Excellent and timely communicators, no matter the day or hour! Highly recommended.

My 1 bedroom Soho apartment had been on the market for over 6 months with another broker. I had almost given up faith in brokers' altogether and even tried to list the apartment myself for a couple months. Well, luckily Brandon and his business partner came to one of my open houses. Most of the visitors to my open house were actually brokers, but there was something about Brandon that just seemed right. Not only was he more "Soho" than my last broker, but he knew how to relate to my needs as a seller. With the apartment vacant for over half a year, I was at the point of renting or selling. I didn't care, I just needed income! Brandon listened to my needs and strategized that we would do both, rent and sell! I was skeptical, but I went with it. I gave up the idea of selling it anyway since the market had been so tough, especially for a tough coop building such as mine where banks would no…

I gave up the idea of selling it anyway since the market had been so tough, especially for a tough coop building such as mine where banks would not finance the deal. Well, low and behold, within a couple weeks, Brandon had the apartment rented and within a couple weeks after that I had two serious offers from buyers! It was a cash buyer, too, which made it a no-brainer. All in all, without Brandon's energy, communication and selling skills, I wouldn't be in the place I am today. The deal couldn't have been easier, and I was profiting before having to worry about the closing. I would recommend Brandon in a heartbeat and am lucky to have met him.

We first met Mallory at an open house for an apartment in Brooklyn where she was working as the seller's agent. Mallory impressed us immediately. She was genuine, knowledgeable, and intent on making sure we found the right home rather than on just closing a deal. We were not the easiest buyers since we had a limited budget, were focused on a specific neighborhood, and didn’t have a specific time frame during which we needed to move. However, that didn’t deter her at all. Mallory was forever patient with us during our nearly two-year search. Since we weren’t local, she would routinely preview condos for us, give us her honest assessment, and answered all our questions. She was very familiar with the local market and always reachable and responsive. When we finally found what we thought was the right condo, Mallory was able to get us in before the first open house.

We were able to move quickly through the offer, inspection, and contract phase with Mallory’s assistance. Buying a home is stressful, buying in Brooklyn feels impossible, but working with Mallory was fun. Mallory was equal parts deal-maker, friend, and therapist through this whole process. I can’t recommend Mallory enough.

I wanted to comment on Brandon's help and expertise in finding our new home on Bleecker Street. I had been to New York looking for apartments several times before and I was unhappy with the qualities of the agents I had met, instead of showing me buildings I was interested in they persisted in dragging me all over the city to places I didn't want to see. Brandon was the opposite, he only showed us apartments that he thought might interest us and helped us to find a place that we settled on. He is a fantastic agent and I'm sure a great asset to Douglas Elliman. I would recommend his services to any of my friends and family. I know have a real estate agent I can trust and go to in the future.

Eleonore

Mallory is extremely reliable and available, and she was a great advisor during my search process. She's very organized and reassuring, which helped me tremendously during the application process and board approval. As a first time buyer in New York, I'm very thankful I worked with Mallory and will definitely work with her again.

Sally

Especially as a first time buyer, I always knew I was in good hands working with Mallory. She answered all my questions, often before I even needed to ask them. She's personable, genuine, and organized. I would absolutely recommend Mallory to any friend looking for a home.
