The Mackay Dixon Team
Matthew and Benjamin first met in 2004 when Benjamin was planning a move from San Francisco to New York City. Their first transaction together was a loft in Gramercy. Fast forward over a decade and Matthew has represented Benjamin in six New York real estate transactions.

“Whether buying or selling, I always appreciated the hard work that Matthew put in to get the deal done. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the city and knew almost every agent we met. Plus he is fun to work with.” – Benjamin
.
“Ben is on top of the market and understands what drives value in the city. His finance background quickly became apparent as he navigated the ins-and-outs of buying Manhattan coops and condos. More importantly, he’s able to see the value in poorly laid out or underutilized properties.” – Matthew

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.

This past year we worked with Ben and Matt on 3 rentals and were amazed at how well (quickly, effectively, and with great financials) each of the rented -- especially in a challenging market. Each of the rentals has its particular "quirks" which, in the past, were always held up as excuses by other other agents for slow/low rental. With Ben & Matt and their team, none of these challenges was ever even brought up -- they just went to work and delivered above expectations They were extremely responsive, kept us in the loop throughout the process, coordinated well with all parties involved, and, more broadly were easy and fun to work with.

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.

I worked with Ben and Matt on purchasing my first apartment, and they were great! What really made a difference to me is that they were very helpful and supportive during the entire buy process - giving me suggestions, answering my many, many questions, and being completely transparent about small hick-ups. Would recommend them to anyone!

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.

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 have sold 2 houses out of state and one more to go. Ben has negotiated with realtors in Michigan and Arizona as our referral agent. He has positively communicated with them to expedite things and reduced our stress as we were out of state.

Hands-on, thorough, knowledgeable and well connected in a way that made the purchase of my new home as smooth as possible.
Cheyenne Sparrow 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)!

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.
