Max Moondoc

Max Moondoc and his team at Compass have been selling real estate in Manhattan and Brooklyn since 2008. Over the years, they've developed a specialty in the HDFC market—helping both sellers and buyers navigate these often complex and nuanced transactions.

Because HDFCs are unique to New York City, working with a team that understands their legal, financial, and operational intricacies is essential. These sales require more than just real estate expertise—they require a specialist with a strong network and proven track record.

At the heart of our work is education. We believe informed clients make empowered decisions. That’s why we’ve built a trusted ecosystem of professionals—from attorneys and lenders to managing agents and insurance brokers—who share our commitment to delivering exceptional service, smooth experiences, and strong results.

Max Moondoc is a lifelong New Yorker who grew up in the East Village, in the very HDFC his father helped homestead. That personal experience shaped his perspective and deepened his appreciation for what HDFCs can mean to families, communities, and the fabric of New York City.

He’s not just a broker—he’s walked in his clients’ shoes. Max has bought, sold, and refinanced his own HDFC apartments. He’s also served on the board of an HDFC, gaining firsthand knowledge of how these cooperatives function from the inside out.

This lived experience fuels our mission: to support HDFC buyers and sellers with honesty, clarity, and confidence—because these buildings aren’t just places to live, they’re part of a legacy worth preserving.

  • " Max helped us buy our first apartment in 2015. When it came time to sell our apartment 9 years later, we worked with Max again. He's also really pleasant, calm, and has a sense of humor which helps a lot during the stressful process of staging and selling an apartment. Thanks so much Max!
