"Julian went above and beyond to help us find the perfect apartment in NYC. His professionalism and honesty made the typically daunting experience enjoyable and stress-free. He guided us through the entire co-op application process and was available for questions 24/7. Even after closing, Julian continued to check in and made sure that I found a great company to do the required renovations. He is a skilled negotiator, trustworthy, and exceptionally kind. I wouldn’t work with anyone else!"-Ruby J.

"Julian is a professional that I trust. I have used him for several properties of mine and every time I see Julian step up to deliver his expertise specifically with the New York market. He provides full stop service including staging, furniture, and advice. I should add that communication was never a barrier for us, which I was concerned about given that I live in Los Angeles. He was clear and easy to access despite time zones and the many moving parts of the process. I look forward to working with Julian again"

"Three years ago my sister purchased an apartment on the UES of Manhattan. Julian was the seller's broker. Suffice it to say I was so impressed and struck with his genuineness, that I saved the show sheet and called him when I was ready to make my own home sale and purchase. Julian helped me every step of the way, from staging to fetching a price well above ask on the sale of my studio. His advice and contacts in the purchase of the apartment were invaluable, ensured that we got a fair price, and were accepted as purchaser. Throughout the whole process he maintained contact with all parties, making sure I was apprised of the latest developments and timetables. The purchasing of a co-op is a stressful, drawn-out process, but Julian's expertise and consistent check-ins helped make it less stressful. I knew that he was on my side, with my best interests his highest priority. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"When we first met with Julian, he took the time to get to know us and discover what we were looking for in NYC living - where we worked, activities we enjoy, and apartment building amenity wish list (need-to-have vs. would-be-nice-to-have). He was able to compile a great list of available apartments that fit all of our requirements, and stayed within our price range. Julian's knowledge of the city is quite impressive. As newbies to the area, Julian was able to give us valuable information about every neighborhood, and apartment building, we inquired. He was also very accommodating when I decided to make a last minute trip back to NYC to look at a few more apartments that had just become available. I would highly recommend Julian Hutter as an agent."

"We chose Julian Hutter (no relation) based on his experience in the real estate industry and his in-depth knowledge of our building. Almost immediately after we engaged his services, Julian performed a detailed walk-through and referred us to a reasonably priced handyman to fix the normal wear and tear we had accumulated. He also helped us carefully decorate our apartment and hired a professional photographer to capture all of its value and maximize its listing appeal. Within a week we had several credible cash offers on our home at prices that exceeded our expectation. Julian provided us with great advice as we narrowed our field of potential buyers and selected the winning bid. Throughout our negotiations, Julian always made himself available and represented our interests faithfully and confidently. Toward the end of the process, Julian worked efficiently to close quickly without any complications. My family was most satisfied with the result and I genuinely believe it was a direct result of Julian's hard work. It is, therefore, without reservation that I highly recommend Julian's services."

"Julian is an excellent broker. I found him to be true to his word, thorough, reliable, and most importantly, and excellent advisor. I bid on several apartments without a broker before hiring Julian. He was immediately value-added, and during several bidding processes, navigated me in a rational manner. Also, for the home I ultimately did purchase, Julian saved me quite a bit of money, as I was prepared to bid asking price, but he helped guide the bidding process to a more favorable outcome. I plan to recommend Julian to friends and family as often as possible."
Education
Meet Julian Hutter — Manhattan Real Estate Broker Since 1998
I've been helping people buy and sell homes in Manhattan since 1998. As an Associate Broker with Compass, I've completed more than 200 real estate transactions and over $100 million in career sales, earned multiple Chairman's Gold awards, and been recognized among the top-performing real estate brokers nationally.
I've received 56 five-star reviews on Zillow and 30 on Google — 86 total. Those numbers matter to me less as a stat and more as a record of what it actually feels like to work with me.
Over the years I've worked with just about every kind of Manhattan buyer and seller — first-time apartment buyers, longtime owners selling a home full of memories, people relocating to New York, downsizers, estate sales, and some people who are still figuring out what comes next. Whatever brings you to me, I actively listen before I advise, then offer honest guidance and clear options. Never pressure.
With decades of experience across Manhattan co-ops and condominiums, I help buyers understand an apartment's true value, make a competitive offer without getting carried away, and put together a strong board package. For sellers, I build pricing, presentation, and marketing strategy designed to attract the right buyers and negotiate from a position of strength.
Real estate is personal — a move usually comes with excitement, uncertainty, and a major life change. I walk you through the options and likely outcomes up front and map out the road ahead, every road has bumps, and I help you iron them out. Surprises stay to a minimum and a complicated process feels manageable.
Real estate wasn't my first chapter. Before becoming a broker, I was a teacher and lifelong entrepreneur — I've owned a newsstand and cigar store, a chain of video stores, and a pizzeria in Harlem, and once drove a New York City taxi. Unusual résumé for a real estate broker, but every one of those jobs taught me something about people, business, customer service, negotiation, and staying calm under pressure.
Friends have called me a modern Renaissance man. I love traveling, reading, cooking for friends, road cycling, skiing, scuba diving, hiking, sailing, and I've even tackled Class V whitewater rapids. Whether I'm exploring a new country or working through a tough negotiation, I bring the same curiosity and energy to both.
Whether you're buying, selling, relocating, upsizing, or downsizing in Manhattan, I'll meet you where you are, tell you what I see, and help you build a clear plan forward.
No drama. Just results. Because Who You Work With Matters!
