When it comes to selling at Gulls Cove in Downtown Jersey City, Natalie Miniard’s track record is unmatched. A leading broker at Corcoran Sawyer Smith, Natalie has spent nearly two decades mastering the market at Gulls Cove. With over 600 successful transactions, Natalie doesn’t just sell here, she has shaped the building’s community from the very beginning.
Natalie recently achieved a major milestone, setting the highest price per square foot ever recorded in the building with a penthouse sale at $2,065,000 – the second-highest overall sale price in Gulls Cove’s history, according to the MLS. “Achieving this record was incredibly meaningful,” says Natalie. “It really highlights the enduring desirability of Gulls Cove and demonstrates the strength of our strategic marketing approach.”
Natalie also recently sold Home 820, a bright and spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom southeast corner condo featuring a desirable butterfly layout, for $1,343,000. For buyers seeking a similar layout with even more impressive light and expansive views, Unit 1420 is currently available on a higher floor and priced at $1,398,000. Natalie also has Residence 2010 listed – a nearly 1,000-square-foot oversized one-bedroom in Phase 2 – priced at $785,000. In addition to these highlighted homes, Natalie has numerous other Gulls Cove properties available – both publicly listed and exclusive off-market opportunities.
Natalie’s continued success in Gulls Cove isn’t accidental. Her approach is strategic, deeply informed, and uniquely personal. Unlike agents who rely solely on past sales data, Natalie closely monitors current market trends, personally hosts open houses, and carefully tracks competing properties. When buyers attempt negotiations, Natalie is ready with precise, firsthand comparisons. “I know exactly why our homes are priced the way they are,” she explains. “My job is to showcase each residence’s unique value – and make sure buyers see it too.”
Her expertise goes beyond surface-level market analysis. “When buyers attempt to negotiate using lower-priced units from other buildings, I’m prepared. I visit these competing properties to clearly highlight our advantages at Gulls Cove – like superior layouts, abundant natural light, and outdoor spaces. I truly eat, sleep, and breathe my listings,” Natalie explains.
Natalie’s relationship with Gulls Cove is long-held and personal. She was involved in the building from the very beginning as the original onsite sales manager starting in 2006. “I was fortunate to start my real estate career early in Jersey City’s renaissance in 2002,” she reflects. “I fell in love with Jersey City when I moved here in 1998, so selling others on this community was always authentic.” Gulls Cove was her first major development project, and it quickly became clear it was special. “The building received numerous accolades, even successfully navigating the housing crash of 2008 due to its homeowner-focused buyer base,” Natalie says.
Built in two phases (2008 and 2016), Gulls Cove offers 429 unique residences known for their spacious layouts, quality finishes, and central AC. The residences feature hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows with stunning views of the Hudson River. Amenities include a recently upgraded two-story facility with a fitness studio, yoga room, resident’s club room with bowling alley and shuffleboard, and a landscaped terrace with fire pits.
What makes Natalie the standout expert at Gulls Cove is her dedication and deep-rooted connection to the community. “I moved into Gulls Cove myself in 2008 and loved every minute. So many residents brought friends and family to experience it, many of whom became homeowners themselves. People often bought multiple units or upgraded within the building because leaving was genuinely difficult. The community we built here is as special as the building itself,” she shares.
Her selling strategy is highly collaborative and personalized. Selling successfully is always a team effort. She provides her sellers with honest and direct feedback, bringing in professional designers when necessary to maximize a home’s appeal. Natalie’s collaborative approach is further enhanced by her Transaction Manager, Jordan Black, who has been an integral part of her team for the past decade. A Jersey City local and graduate of St. Peter’s University, Jordan is a real estate broker known for her exceptional organization, in-depth knowledge of the city, and warm personality, playing a key role in every Gulls Cove transaction alongside Natalie.
For Natalie, 2025 marks another chapter dedicated fully to serving her clients’ needs. “In our rapidly changing market, working with a proven expert is more critical than ever. My goal is to continue delivering exceptional results for every client, every time.”
