Celeste Pandhi

    • Celeste and her team went above and beyond to ensure that our apartment search and the approval process were as painless as possible!

      - Patrick
    • Celeste was able to accommodate my tough work schedule, to educate me on suitable neighborhoods, and very quickly get to an apartment that fit my criteria. Very efficient and quick process! The apartment I settled on was not even posted on any real estate sites, so I would never have known unless Celeste was involved. Plus, Celeste is a wonderfully pleasant person to deal with, and I enjoyed looking at apartments with her. Highly recommend.

      - Jim
    • Celeste helped up immensely in our apartment search. We only had a day to look for apartments. She shortlisted the ones which met our criteria and scheduled viewings within the short time window. She accompanied us to all the locations and also asked relevant questions to the building management which we missed. She gave us a good comparison of the options available by taking into account various rebates and other costs. It made the process extremely smooth for use and we highly recommend her to everyone!

      - Amit
    • I was searching for a property on my own, and thought I was doing well until I realized I needed the support of a broker. I met many brokers, but I chose to contact Celeste who Id met a couple of months earlier and I couldnt be happier with my choice. Celeste struck me as extremely diligent, energetic and personable. She remained available at all times during the process, supported me all the way through the preparation of an extensive co-op package and kept my spirits up in challenging times. Id say she gave me faith back in real estate and was instrumental in helping me find a place to call home.

      - Sandrine
    • Celeste goes above and beyond for her clients. She stayed in contact with me throughout the entire home buying process, and because of her all the puzzle pieces fell into place perfectly. Responding within minutes to all my concerns, there was never a moment I had to worry. She made the process so simple. My first time buying a home in NYC will definitely be memorable. She is an absolute professional in her natural habitat, and she paid attention to detail unlike anyone Ive ever seen. I can happily say I am no longer scared of buying or selling a home. Thank you Celeste, it truly was such a surprisingly easy and wonderful experience. I look forward to my new life in New York, its already off to a great start!

      - Edrelle
    • I have built and remodeled eleven houses, and bought and sold many properties over decades, and never have I been privy to the level of care, professionalism, and dedication as was provided by Celeste Pandhi. And heres the remarkable thingI live in Los Angeles and was referred to Celeste to rent my co-op in New York, so I never saw her. We did our business by text, phone, and e-mail, and I had no idea Celeste was pregnant with twins! One morning I called her and learned that she had just given birth to her beautiful Maya and Carter. She never missed a beat. Now THATS a realtor! And an incredible person.

      - Kelly
    • We cannot thank Celeste enough for helping us get our dream apartment! It was a pleasure to work with her. She was extremely respectful of our preferences and never tried to push us into getting anything we were not convinced on. She is the fastest person we know to reply to any request by email, text, or any other form of communication and she definitely knows how to keep things calm and under control. Celeste helped us throughout the whole process from the very beginning until we got the keys in our hands (and we still go to her with quick questions as we are getting settled in our new home). She is truly amazing and, although we are too happy with our new place to think of ever moving, she would be our top choice if we ever needed to look for a new home.

      - Ana Maria
    • I used Celeste Pandhis services when I was selling my apartment. At first, I thought I might rent it out. After talking with Celeste, she convinced me (rightly so) that I should sell it instead and use the money towards my next apartment. I am so glad I listened to her sage advice. She is extremely kind and more than willing to listen and answer all your questions. She was so knowledgeable about my buildings specs, and she was able to convey that to prospective buyers. Celeste knows the Manhattan market so well. She will tell you if she thinks the price you are asking for your apartment is reasonable, overpriced, or you should raise it as the market has changed in your favor. I highly recommend Celeste.

      - Joyce
    • Celeste is the consummate professional with a warm and engaging personality. The minute you meet her you instantly feel at ease in her presence. She is not the type of agent that will push you into a property just to get a sale. Her patient manner, her ability to see the potential with a diamond in the rough helped make my dream to own an apartment come true. She has a keen eye for the dimensions of a space and can help you visualize the endless possibilities to fit your needs. Throughout my searchCeleste was gracious with her time, was always on time for our appointments, returned calls promptly and answered my endless barrage of questions. I never felt rushed or dismissed, when viewing a property, and I felt a great sense of comfort to have her at my side guiding me through the process. Once I decided on my property and I received the packet of information that I needed to fill out I felt overwhelmed, but Celeste helped me navigate through the forms and made the process seem effortless.

      - Kim
    • I have been a home owner and a real estate investor for the past 30 years. Celeste has been wonderful, friendly agent who is also knowledgeable as well as receptive to all my needs. She helped me buy a coop, then rented it out for me for 8 months later when the tenant moved out of NYC it was all without a glitch. I would recommend her to my friends without any hesitation. I truly believe that any buyer or seller will find her service and dedication impeccable.

      - KC
    • Celeste was recommended by many and lives up to her expectations as she is clearly the best at what she does! Celeste is very attentive and grasps exactly what you want. She is truly committed to take care of her clients and managed to find my current home on my second viewing. I am very happy with my apartment all thanks to Celeste.

      - Patrick
    • Celeste was a crucial element of our successful NYC apartment purchase. Without skipping a beat, Celeste was always available to provide insight, strategic advice, commonsense, counsel and support throughout the search and valuably, the closing. Celeste is reliable, street smart and charismatic a powerful and fabulous combination. Were 100% satisfied and delighted by our now home. Highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking to buy or sell.

      - Michael & Eli
    • Celeste was wonderful throughout the whole process. She was very respectful of our search criteria and did not try and push us into a higher price range or neighborhoods we werent interested in, but at the same time helped us understand what we could realistically afford. She was extremely responsive and went above and beyond to help us secure the apartment we selected. She answered many late night and frantic texts promptly and was easy to work with throughout the process.

      - Andy
    • Having recently relocated from London, finding a property abroad was always going to be difficult and stressful. Celeste is extremely knowledgeable and helped us navigate the crazy Manhattan market with our best interests in mind. She was like our personal advisor and went out of her way to research apartments that would fit our criteria and gave us valuable advice. Celeste was always extremely responsive, thorough, and prepared various viewings for us in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely choose her again!

      - Jeet
    • Celeste went above and beyond to not only help us find a place we loved, but also teach us the complicated landscape of NY real estate. We bombarded her with links and choices, and she guided us flawlessly, adding in some we hadnt found. The place we chose was not on our list, and we could not have done this without her. She is responsive, patient, and relentless. I cannot recommend her enough, and we will absolutely work with her in the future!

      - Miranda
    • Thank you for all your help. We look forward to working with The Pandhi Team again in the future.

      - Andrea & Carlos
    • Celeste and Jimmy were nothing short of fantastic! I came to them with a very short timeframe and little knowledge of NYC and its many living options. They surpassed my expectations immediately. With our initial call, we were able to get a good understanding of where and what would fit best. They provided many options and were able to deliver a organized schedule to view each location within a short time. Celeste was extremely attentive, communicative, and quick with her responses. It is obvious she is knowledgeable and dialed into the New York City market. I found a lovely spot, and could not have done it without their services. I would absolutely recommend Celeste to anyone looking to rent, purchase, or sell property in the NYC area. You will be in great hands!

      - Ashley
    • Celeste handled every detail of my recent apartment search and rental flawlessly and I was consistently impressed by her commitment to making the process as seamless as possible on my end. At every step, from responding to my initial email to coordinating move-in logistics, Celeste provided comprehensive and near-instantaneous answers to every question and concern I was able to surmise. She even went so far as to suggest creative solutions to optimizing the layout of the new apartment. Celeste is extremely knowledgeable about the NYC real estate market and an invaluable asset to have on your side. I recommend Celeste highly and will absolutely ask for her help again for any future moves or real estate transactions.

      - Jeff
    • Celeste was my agent for selling my studio apartment that got sold in Jan 2018. I am quite impressed with the work, the knowledge, as well as the care she put into for selling my apartment. In the beginning, she spent a good amount of time explaining to me the current real estate market, strategized a sale price that attracted more people to view the apartment while being above par, and hired professionals for photoshoot and floorplan of the apartment. I got my first bidding for my studio within the first week after it was listed on the market and went into contract in less than 2 weeks with 3 competitive offers at the time. Throughout the process, Celeste has been very easy to reach and responsive to all my questions and concerns without any sign of impatience and always made me feel that she did care about my apartment even though it was just one of the listings she managed. After the apartment went into contract, Celeste continued to help in terms of answering the buyers questions regarding the Coop application. I did not have to worry about the application package and only heard from Celeste when everything was done and submitted. Celeste is a great real estate agent who always shows care and passion for the clients she represents. It was a pleasure to work with her and I am definitely going back to her when I need to sell my next apartment.

      - Li Wei
    • Celeste recently guided my finance and I through our first home purchase a two bed coop on the UES. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and friendly giving us valuable insight and recommendations wherever possible. She even referred us to two colleagues (Real Estate Lawyer Jason George from Washington Law PLLC and Mortgage Broker Kenneth Fried from Loan Depot), who were true professionals and great to work with. We are incredibly lucky to have worked with Celeste & her husband Jimmy - and we are very happy in our new home!

      - Brett
    • Celeste was a really great agent to work with. She was extremely thorough in presenting all options/scenarios to us and did so in a timely manner. Moving in NYC is a lot to deal with, but having Celestes help in managing our search made the experience much smoother and I always felt that she had our best interests top of mind.Justin

      - Justin
    • Celeste and Jimmy were very helpful in assisting my compaera and I, both out-of-towners, in finding and purchasing the kind of coop apartment for which we were looking. I think they went beyond what was required in meeting our needs, and we very much appreciate what they did for us.

      - Gene
    • Overall, Celeste is the consummate professional...knowledgeable in the NYC real estate market, a great resource for real estate comps in general, and provides patient direct guidance and consulting throughout the entire process. Celeste knows how to navigate real estate with sincerity, strategic analysis and creative marketing. Celeste also goes above and beyond to make everything seamless.

      - Joan
    • I used Celeste Pandhi's brokerage services when I was selling my apartment. At first, I thought I might rent it out. After talking with Celeste, she convinced me (rightly so) that I should sell it instead and use the money towards my next apartment. I am so glad I listened to her sage advice. She is extremely kind and more than willing to listen and answer all your questions. She was so knowledgeable about my building's specs, and she was able to convey that to prospective buyers. Celeste knows the Manhattan market so well. She will tell you if she thinks the price you are asking for your apartment is reasonable, overpriced, or you should raise it as the market has changed in your favor. I highly recommend Celeste.

      - Joyce
    • We worked with Celeste to help us find an apartment when we relocated to New York from abroad. She worked tirelessly to show us many suitable apartments, and found us a perfect spot in Chelsea. Her energy, professionalism and knowledge made her a pleasure to work with.

      - Brett S
    • Faced with the task of selling a relatives apartment, I reached out to Celeste who quickly became a trusted and knowledgeable advisor. Because she did far more than what is expected of a broker, we sold the apartment rather quickly. All in all, it was a good, first time experience and I would recommend her services to anyone selling or buying an apartment.

      - Jane
    • I cant speak highly enough of Celeste. She is attentive, knowledgeable, personable and professional. She really listened to what I was looking for and was persistent until she found my son and me a place we can really call home!

      - Kendra
    • Celeste did an amazing job with finding our new apt. She was prepared and efficient of our time, helping us to close quickly due to unfortunate circumstances in a previous apt. She made sure we were getting the best deal out on the market and we recommend her to my friends and family. We love our new apt!

      - Lisa & Brendan
    • Celeste was our first touch point when we moved to the USA and she was absolutely phenomenal. She continuously went above and beyond to find us a new home and still checks in to make sure we are settling in and if we need any help navigating our way around NYC. Celeste gets our highest endorsement and recommendation.

      - Grahame
    • I worked with Celeste to rent out our two bedroom apt during renovations. She exceeded all of my expectations and rented our apt even before it was completed. The transaction went so quickly and smoothly thanks to Celeste!

      - Lisa
    • It was really a pleasure working with Celeste. She is a very knowledgeable agent, with ability to work with different clients and partners. She is a hardworking person, very attentive and kind. We were amazed how prompt she was with all the information and messages. We loved everything she did for us. I would highly recommend her service to everybody.

      - Liliya
    • I purchased a property in NY in December, 2017, working with Celeste.. Id never purchased real estate in the City, and have never lived in a co-op, so naturally had a lot of questions and some uncertainties. Celeste was the consummate pro, and I count myself very fortunate to have found her in the process.

      - David
    • Celeste has a detailed and accurate knowledge of the real estate market and is highly regarded by her clients and colleagues alike.

      - Jason
    • We were extremely lucky to find Celeste and have her incredible help as I found my dream studio in just 3 short days! I was new to the city and a new Columbia University Grad Student in need of a place on the Upper West Side on a tight timeline. I had spent months on the internet with no luck but with Celestes help we had a wonderful time trotting up and down the UWS seeing various units in a short 2 days. She was fun, kind, professional and honest! I loved working with Celeste and would not only use her again but suggest her to anyone I care about.

    • I was searching for a property on my own, and thought I was doing well until I realized I needed the support of a broker.

She remained available at all times during the process, supported me all the way through the preparation of an extensive co-op package and kept my spirits up in challenging times. When she couldnt attend the closing, she made sure to delegate someone from her team who proved to be as professional and sympathetic. Id say she gave me faith back in real estate, and most importantly she was instrumental in helping me find a place to call home. Thank you.

      - Sandrine
    • I worked with Celeste when I sold my apartment about 8 months ago. She did such an amazing job, I couldnt be happier on how it all worked out! First of all my place sold for more then I ever would have thought, also the presentation of my place was beautiful. But honestly what stood out the most and really meant a lot to me was the way she handled the sale of my apartment with care and respect. I definitely recommend Celeste to anyone looking to sell or buy a home!

      - Elsa
    • We cannot thank Celeste enough for helping us navigate the intricate and daunting NYC apartment search. She was incredibly patient with our requests and dedicated to helping us find the perfect fit!

      - Camilla
    • I must say that we have been property owners for many years and I can say that Celeste Pandhi is everything that we wanted in a broker. We had vacant apartments in the dead of winter and on high floors which two other brokers had no success with renting. She gave it everything she had and succeeded where others had failed. She is professional and courteous. She kept us informed of all her efforts and we could not of been more pleased.

    • Celeste was spot on with regards to comps and market, which resulted in us getting full ask. She is reliable and responsive, easy to work with, and energetic. She goes above and beyond.

    • Celeste was great every step of the way. We couldnt have asked for a faster and smoother transaction.

      - Amit
    • We used Celeste as our agent when looking for an apartment in NYC for our son. We only needed a short-term rental which made our search in NYC more difficult. Celeste worked very hard to find a place in the neighborhood and price range we needed. She was always in touch with us with new listings. She was prompt and professional when viewing the units. We were pleasantly surprised to hear from Celeste after the lease was signed when she offered to inspect the apartment before we arrived to make sure there were no issues. She also has been in contact with us since moving in to see if we needed anything. We would use Celeste as our agent again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent in NYC.

      - Karen
    • I know Celeste for a few years. She is extremely diligent, always on time, really loves what she does, and she is very knowledgeable. She would be a perfect fit for anyone who is serious about buying or renting a property in NYC. Highly, highly recommended!

      - Andy
    • Celeste worked hard to find us the apartment we were seeking and our criteria wasnt easy. We wanted to pay less for a bigger place, that allowed dogs, had a doorman, and was in specific areas of the Upper West Side. She nailed it! Celeste was able to understand our needs early in the search process and use that knowledge to curate listings that she knew would fit our particular lifestyle. Unlike most brokers in rental situations, Celeste took the time to find us what we wanted. She was adept at navigating the application process and dealing with various management companies at once. When we begin our search for a place to buy in the city we will no further than Celeste!
