About Joe
Graduating with a BA in Marketing and Finance from NYU's Stern School of Business, Giuseppe “Joe" Messina, a New York City native, started his own marketing and digital design company based in Chelsea. Falling in love with the neighborhood, he immediately moved to the area and has remained in downtown Manhattan since. Joe’s innate passion for New York City and seasoned knowledge of downtown inspired him to become a real estate agent in 2013 and it has been his career and passion since.

With over $150 million in transactions including the purchase and renovation of several of his own homes/investments, Joe has the knowledge and experience to seamlessly guide you through the most challenging purchases and sales. "Having developed the relationships, marketing skills, and market knowledge, I am able to advise my clients on all transactions." Whether a first-time home buyer, an owner selling their home, or a seasoned investor, Joe’s attention to detail and client services allows him to offer optimal guidance and advice. His close relationship with his clients and the referrals he receives are a testament to his dedication and success. “Most of the time, the sale or purchase of a home is the largest transaction in someone's life and they are putting it in my hands. I take that responsibility seriously. Whether I am representing the buyer or seller I always go above and beyond to ensure my clients are getting the best advice and deal.”

In 2022, Joe continues to specialize in his hometown neighborhood of Greenwich Village as well as Gramercy, Chelsea, Tribeca, West Village, East Village, Soho, Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Joe is tuned into the Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn real estate market and everything it has to offer. Joe Is also fluent in Italian and loves to speak it with his clients. When he's not hard at work, Joe enjoys spending time with his wife, children and his dog, Frankie.


Client Testimonials

★★★★★
“Joe and Micaela were incredible in assisting us in this complex and time sensitive matter. They were very professional and responsive, guided us effectively throughout, and were so very patient given our lack of understanding of the NYC co-op process. Their knowledge and expertise were critical in securing our home. We are so grateful for the stellar service we received and highly recommend Joe and his team.“ - Buyer

★★★★★
“I’ve worked with Joe for over a decade, and he’s been exceptional every step of the way. He’s helped me buy, close, and rent out multiple properties with ease. Joe is always honest, gives thoughtful and realistic feedback, and never pushes a deal that doesn’t make sense. He’s incredibly responsive, reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond to get things across the finish line. Most importantly, he’s someone you can truly trust. Highly recommend Joe!!“ - Buyer & Seller

★★★★★
“Joe was incredibly helpful, nice and honest. He knew the building's process very well and made all negotiation and signing very easy. It's always great to see Joe in the neighborhood.“ - Renter

★★★★★
“Joe was an amazing broker! My favorite part about working with him was his transparency throughout the process regarding our application and what needed to be done to ensure we could secure the apartment. He was able to meet me to show the apartment and then meet my boyfriend another day to show the unit. He was really quick in responding to emails and was generally super nice and helpful!“ - Renter

★★★★★
“Finding an apartment can often be a stressful process, especially in New York City, but not with Joe. He is incredibly patient and worked with me to find exactly what I was looking for. He was my biggest advocate throughout the entire process, and I felt secure knowing I had him representing me. I have referred many friends and family to Joe and would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.“ - Renter
