About

The best real estate advice is both deeply informed and deeply considered, rigorous with the facts, respectful of the decision, and clear about the path forward.

Kevin McHale represents buyers, sellers and tenants across New York City, with a portfolio that extends to Brooklyn, Connecticut, the Caribbean and France.

Every recommendation starts with the data: absorption, price per square foot, days on market, discount to last asking price, and how a specific line in a specific building has actually traded. What happens next is the part clients remember. Twenty five years as a creative executive, building global brands inside one of the most heavily regulated industries there is, taught him that evidence only moves a decision once the person hearing it understands what it means for them. So the analysis arrives translated, paced to how you actually decide, and candid about what the numbers cannot tell you.

He has represented exclusives across Manhattan and beyond, among them Maison Hudson at 401 West Street through 2025 and the Warren Street Hotel Residences through 2026, and he is one of the few brokers in the city who specializes in the $30,000 to $120,000 per month furnished luxury tier alongside traditional condo, co-op and townhouse sales. His clients range from first time buyers to international investors purchasing through LLCs and cross border structures.

Kevin is also the founder of Tribe by Nest, a global residence experience group offering packaged luxury real estate, private jet and yacht charter through a single membership program. He publishes The Decision Gap, a brief issued every two weeks on pricing, absorption and negotiation dynamics in New York City neighborhoods.

The Decision Gap

The building is the decision.

A brief published every two weeks on the New York City market and the decisions it forces. Verified data on one side, the emotional weight of the decision on the other. This issue shows why the building can matter more than the apartment.

Kit Kemp designed bedroom at the Warren Street Hotel Residences, 86 Warren Street, Tribeca

Warren Street Hotel Residences, Tribeca

I represented this previous listing of ten private residences set above the Warren Street Hotel, Firmdale’s Tribeca property, with interiors by Kit Kemp Design Studio and architecture by Stonehill Taylor. I represented the owners from 2024 to 2026, with residences ranging from $20,000 to $85,000 per month. The furnished luxury tier has been a core of my business ever since.

Living room with Hudson River views at Maison Hudson, 401 West Street, West Village

Maison Hudson, 401 West Street

West Village, Lower Manhattan

I was exclusive leasing agent for Maison Hudson, a new development on the Hudson River waterfront and the most exclusive furnished rental address in Lower Manhattan, from 2024 to 2025. I represented ten serviced residences at this Thomas Juul-Hansen designed building, with one to three bedroom units, 800 to 2,285 square feet, offered from $32,500 to $122,500 per month on flexible terms of thirty days or longer. This model serves an underrepresented and deeply needed tier of luxury turnkey residences for global nomads, executives and families who want hotel service without a hotel, underwritten on discretion and fit as much as on rent.

Seventeen closed transactions across fifteen properties: six sales totaling $8,927,000, and eleven leases across nine residences representing $276,735 in aggregate monthly rent. Four of those leases closed above $30,000 per month. Two buyer side contracts are out and are expected to close within thirty days, which will take closed sales volume above $11 million.

Figures reflect sides represented by Kevin McHale and recorded with Nest Seekers International, career to date through September 2026. Sale prices and monthly rents are reported separately and in their own units, and are not combined into a single figure. Lease figures are contract rent at signing and are not annualized, since terms vary from thirty days to twelve months. Client names and confidential or off market transactions are not published. Additional activity appears on the StreetEasy profile (opens in a new tab) and the Nest Seekers profile (opens in a new tab).

Fair housing

Required notices

Every client is entitled to equal treatment under federal, state and local fair housing law. I do not discriminate, and I do not act on a discriminatory instruction from any seller or landlord. The notices below are published as required by the New York State Department of State.

Read the full NYS Housing and Anti-Discrimination Notice

Federal, State and Local Fair Housing and Anti-discrimination Laws protect individuals from housing discrimination. It is unlawful to discriminate based on certain protected characteristics, which include, but are not limited to: race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military status, sex, age, disability, marital status, status as a victim of domestic violence, lawful source of income or familial status.

Some examples of potential fair housing violations

  • Refusing to rent, sell or show a property based on a potential tenant or purchaser's protected characteristic.
  • Quoting a higher price to a purchaser or renter because of the potential purchaser or tenant's protected characteristic.
  • Refusing to rent to a tenant who has children or increasing a security deposit based on the number of children who will be living in the apartment.
  • Steering prospective tenants or purchasers to certain neighborhoods based on any protected characteristics.
  • Refusing to rent to a potential tenant because of their source of income, including but not limited to, Section 8 vouchers or other government subsidies.
  • Refusing to waive a “no pet” policy for tenants that require a service, assistance or emotional support animal.
