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 his passion ever since.
With over $200 million in transactions behind him - including the purchase and renovation of several of his own homes and investment properties - Joe has the knowledge and experience to guide you seamlessly 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 service allow him to offer optimal guidance and advice. His close relationships with his clients, and the referrals that follow, 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 the seller, I always go above and beyond to ensure my clients are getting the best advice and the best deal."
Today Joe is the founder of Trade Residential at Compass, specializing in Manhattan and Brooklyn. In Manhattan, his focus is Chelsea, Gramercy, Soho, Noho, the East Village, Tribeca and the Financial District. In Brooklyn, it is Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Carroll Gardens. Joe is tuned into the Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn real estate markets and everything they have to offer.
Joe is also licensed in Florida, where he works with clients in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Deerfield Beach, and Trade Residential maintains a branch in Miami - allowing him to represent clients moving in either direction between New York and South Florida.
Joe is fluent in Italian and loves to speak it with his clients. When he's not hard at work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Tina, and their children.

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.

★★★★★
“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
