Working with Alta Real Estate throughout the home-buying process was a pleasure. They were consistently responsive to our communications, sensitive and mindful of our buying criteria and personal circumstances, and quickly became trusted advisors. They made sure we were comfortable with every step and optimized the experience for us personally and financially. We would highly recommend them too.

Parker was a great help throughout my first time home buying experience. He is very responsive and professional and I appreciated his strong negotiation skills.

I was recommended Robert through a mutual friend as my boyfriend and I were looking for a short term furnished unit in NYC for a work trip. This was no easy feat to find on our own two weeks out moving from Texas. Robert came back with options within a day, a was very friendly and responsive throughout the process. He also goes to the property and gave us a virtual tour. He continues to be helpful and advocate on our behalf with any questions/issues even after we signed the lease!! Really goes above and beyond, highly recommend.

I worked with Ali Shulman to purchase my first apartment in the LES. As a first time home buyer this process was new to me and Ali helped walk me through the different steps of home buying. She spent countless hours running around Manhattan with me looking at different properties until I landed on the current apartment. Ironically enough, I originally told Ali I didn’t want to see this apartment, but she encouraged me to take a look just in case. I fell in love with the apartment as it had a large outdoor space that I had been hoping for and it was in a new development. Ali guided me through the negotiating process and ended up getting me a great d...

Robert is an excellent realtor who gave me 100% of his energy and attention when I was looking for my new home. Once I made an offer on my apartment he negotiated on my behalf, answered all my questions, and seamlessly prepared and submitted the board package. From my initial interest in buying New York City real estate all the way through the closing Robert was responsive and available. He made what would be a confusing and stressful experience into an informed and pleasant one. I am writing this review from my new dream apartment--all thanks to Robert!

I first worked with Parker to find an NYC studio apartment last minute as I had two weeks left before I had to be in the city for work. Parker was very helpful and was able to arrange video tours, as well as help screen a number of properties that fit my needs. After deciding on one, he helped negotiate the terms and was able to get me my preferred move-in date and some fixes to the unit that he noticed looked off. I then used Parker a second time when I needed to arrange for a lease takeover. Although my landlord was not very responsive, Parker was able to find me a new tenant and arrange all the paperwork and negotiations required to make the lea...

Alta Real Estate is fantastic to work with because they are “no-nonsense” kind of people who will tell you exactly how things stand and can substantiate their assertions with real data. They are extraordinarily efficient and work at “New York speed.” In my case, we were in a situation of multiple offers and they were my ally in thinking strategically about which deal made the most sense.

We called upon Alta Real Estate's help when we were selling my apartment and sure enough, Alta Real Estate delivered. They took care of everything from getting the paperwork from the management company to negotiating with prospective buyers. They also connected me with an excellent attorney and another broker out of state. The whole experience was extremely pleasant and swift.

We wasted 6 months with my first listing and broker then we found Alta Real Estate, or should we say Alta Real Estate found us. That’s the aggressive team they are, and who we wanted on my team. So we signed up. And, after they helped get it staged, they sold my $3,000,000 condo at my asking price, finding the buyer in just days. We are grateful that Alta Real Estate handled this for us.

Ali was an excellent broker who helped me purchase my first home. As someone who had never gone through this process before, Ali answered all of my questions, provided expert advice, and made the process as positive as it could be. She is knowledgable, helpful, compassionate and incredibly educated in her field. I would absolutely recommend Ali to anyone looking to purchase a home!

We first met Rick in 2001. Since then they he has helped me buy and sell several apartments for myself as well as for friends and has become a trusted source of information over the last two decades. He is always available 24/7 for answering questions for me and my friends. Alta has a lot of information at their fingertips.

Alta Real Estate, you had my back from the moment we hired you and that’s what we needed the most. Thanks, Alta Real Estate, we hope you have many more experiences like this and thrive! It certainly has shifted our life to a good place.

We sold our LIC apartment with Alta Real Estate. They know the market, used an excellent photographer to showcase our apartment, and have years of experience. They are nice too!

Interesting and professional!

Rick Kelly and his team did a great job selling my Manhattan co-op. They tried to show it as much as possible, and did an excellent job following up with all the agents who showed the property or direct buyers. Rick and his assistant Parker were great to work with. They tried to set up showings at times that worked best for me. They also provided me with helpful follow up after each showing. Whenever I had any questions and requested additional information, they got back to me right away with the information. Since this was an Estate sale, it was a difficult situation for me. Rick was very supportive and went out of his way to make the process as ...

Rick and his team set a high bar for client service and market knowledge. Rick knows all the ins and outs. I recommend Rick if you want to get an edge in the market and take stress out of the process.

Rick was extremely helpful throughout the whole process from searching to closing. I was impressed with his level of knowledge and the amount of data he had about the market. It was a no-brainer for me to work with him given his extensive knowledge and experience and I’m so thankful I did. Rick was always available at all hours. His responsiveness was incredible. The closing wasn’t straightforward where it hit a couple of bumps along the way but Rick always got ahead of any issues and made sure they were resolved right away. He did an incredible amount of information gathering about the process, as well as the comparable analysis. The delivery of t...

Very knowledgeable and will make sure you get the best deal possible. Strongly recommend!

I'm really grateful for Robert's great help when I was looking for an apartment. He helped me to secure really quickly the apartment that I wanted. He was extremely reactive and provided me with all the tips I needed. Robert is not only a great professional but also a great person and it was a real pleasure to find a new place with his assistance.

Robert was wonderful to work with. Super kind and attentive. As crazy as the NYC rental market can get, he made it easy and seamless for me and my fiancé. Robert was easily one of the best I've worked with. For anyone that gets the chance to work with him, you're very lucky!

Moved to NYC mid July and connected with Robert to show me an apartment in the UES. As soon as I saw the photos I knew it would be gone quickly, so I’m thankful Robert was able to get me in to see the apartment ASAP! He was kind enough to walk me through every step of the process and made sure no question of mine went unanswered, even checking in on me post move in to make sure I was all set. If/when I move again, Robert will be the first person I contact about any and all of my moving needs. Could not recommend enough!

Robert is an amazing professional that went above and beyond to procure the apartment that we wanted despite the strict requirements imposed by many NY apartments. Robert made sure the entire process; from the viewing to move in was smooth and coordinated helping us find the perfect apartment based on our needs!

Working with Robert while leasing my apt in nyc was not only easy but stress-free. Robert was responsive and had every detail I needed. He made this very stressful time a seamless one! He was very professional from the very start. I’d highly recommend working with Robert!! Thank you so much for my dream nyc apartment!!

Our experience working with Robert right from scheduling the appointment to the first showing and even after signing the lease has been nothing but excellent. He stayed on top of things at all times, and promptly responded to our phone, text and email messages. Not only that, he repeatedly communicated with us to ensure that our concerns were being addressed. We would recommend him to anyone who desires a pleasant and hassle free apartment hunting experience.

Robert is great! He helped me find the perfect apartment just for me. Quick, responsive, and professional. Of all the agents I've worked with, Robert is among the best. Thanks, Robert!

Robert was super helpful during the whole process. I wasn’t able to physically check any of the apartments given that I wasn’t in NYC, but Robert was more than happy to video call me several times and show me the different options! Definitely recommend workin with him!

Robert was immediately responsive, transparent and professional and his knowledge of and passion for the neighborhoods he represents was beyond impressive. He was a tremendous help to me in finding a new home for me moving to Manhattan from Philadelphia.

Robert is a realtor in NYC that actually services you.... Wow, I've only had ones that merely show me the prospective unit quickly then send me the application (taking advantage of the fact that most young professionals just need a place to live and it's going to fill no matter what). If you're young like me and have been in living in the city for a few years, you know what I'm talking about. Sometimes, I scratched my head and wondered, "what kind of 'work' are you doing here.. what are you getting paid for?" .. Well, Robert and his service is what I was always expecting, and above. Thank you so much for your help, Robert! I love my new place and en...

Robert was key to me landing my dream apartment in NYC. Very responsive, professional and just an overall good human. I'd be very inclined to work with Robert again in the future!

Our experience with other New York realtors was uncomfortable. Quite simply, our experience with Robert was not. He was prompt, courteous, and helpful at every turn.

Robert was so helpful, responsive, and professional. Moving is always stressful and he really made the process a breeze! I’d use him with my next move and I would recommend him any day!

Robert was very helpful and made the entire process very smooth. He really knew the apartments he showed me and made sure I had all of the information I needed to make a decision and move in. I am very happy with the place and the entire process. Could not have been easier. Robert is really responsive and checked in to make sure that I was comfortable and happy once I'd moved in.

I had an excellent experience working with Robert to get my current apartment. Robert was responsive to questions and went out of his way to make the entire process as easy as possible. I highly recommend obtaining his services to find your next home.

Rick is an incredible real estate agent! My wife and I were first time home buyers looking for a condo in LIC. He worked around our schedule to book showings. He was extremely responsive and really put our needs first when finding a unit. Once we found the perfect home, Rick negotiated a great deal with the seller. He also helped us coordinate with the legal teams and banks to ensure we were able to close on time. Throughout the process, he answered our questions with sincerity and thoughtfulness. Rick not only raises the bar for realtors, but his work ethic and service went above and beyond anything I've experienced as a customer. You would be hard...

Rick is a terrific broker. I have worked with him for several years. He has a very good pulse of the market and is able to always keep a deal together. Over the years, Rick has provided me with sound advice and guidance.

Rick was the agent who sold us our condo 18 years ago. I appreciated his straightforward honesty and caring to a rare degree among real estate agents. As the current president of our condo board, I've relied on Rick for advice and insight. He's a true professional, knowledgeable and committed to his industry and to his firm. I strongly recommend Rick to anyone seeking the highest level in real estate service.

We have used Rick Kelly and his team for several significant real estate transactions in New York City, and he has overdelivered each time. These transactions include purchases, sales, and leases of residential real estate, and Rick handled all aspects of the transaction, including services that were required post-closing and weren't contemplated at the time Rick was retained. Further, Rick is extremely responsive, and collaborated with other services providers (i.e. attorneys, accountants) to ensure successful and seamless transactions. In addition, we relied upon Rick for his expertise regarding current and expected market conditions, valuations,...

Rick was a pleasure to work with! He actively listened to us and was always very informative during our home search. We appreciated how productive, timely, and organized he was. Highly recommend to work with Rick during your next home search!

I've had the pleasure of working with Alta Real Estate in two separate incidents. I am a homeowner in Long Island City, and was seeking to rent two apartments within the same year. From the very beginning, Rick Kelly and Parker Johnson demonstrated efficiency and effectiveness, and made the experience seamless. Their expertise was evident that they have strong knowledge in the market trends in and around the NYC metropolitan area. I was extremely satisfied with their personalized service and professionalism and how they took the time to find the perfect tenants. I would highly recommend Alta Real Estate for your next real estate venture!

"Getting to yes", that's what Rick and Alta Real Estate are great at. Rick helped us to land a great apartment in Manhattan at a price we were very happy with. You could sense the trust factor Rick established with the other broker that was key to "getting to yes". We were so impressed with Rick's overall style and effectiveness (supported by an excellent team at Alta) that we recommended him to another family member, who also got to "yes" on their own apartment.

Rick was amazing and helped us every step along the way. He was always available, patient, and answered all our questions quickly. Highly recommend going with Rick and he will help you get a great deal.

Rick is a very great agent. We’ve had the opportunity to work with Rick for over a decade and he goes above and beyond to meet our needs.

Rick is highly experienced and professional. He represented my husband and I in 3 different transactions in Manhattan over the past three years. We relied heavily on his experience and were able to successfully win bids in the two purchases despite competing bids and buyers. Our co-op sale went smoothly as well and Rick and his team handled every bump in the road with assurance and confidence. We would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy in the New York Market

Rick helped me purchase my first apartment in NYC and I can confidently say that without his help, I wouldn't have found my first home. Rick not only made sure that I got to see my apartment before it went live on Streeteasy, but he also advocated for me every step of the way to hasten the closing process. I don't know anyone else who would also come see 40+ apartments and walk me through the process like Rick did. Hands down, Rick is the reason why you should work with a real estate agent, especially in Manhattan. Would only work with him going forward.

Rick worked with us on buying our first apartment. He was tireless in presenting opportunities that fit our priorities and our budget, listened carefully to our feedback on each property and factored that into our approach. He was always patient and responsive and went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable during a lengthy and sometimes stressful process. Knowing we had a careful, thoughtful and experienced partner gave us the control and confidence we needed to make the right decision. I could not recommend him more highly to anyone interested in buying a home in New York City.

Rick is the one you can trust. He sold me an apartment and led us the right way every step. In the time since I have come to work with Rick on other deals around NYC and every single time he came through. I am a real estate attorney in NYC with twenty five years experience. I would trust Rick with any deal on my plate. Professional or business. You should also.

Excellent communication, responsiveness, and service. This is the 4th time I have worked with firm and have only had great experiences. They are far superior to other firms I have worked with previously.

Rick is highly knowledgeable and we greatly enjoyed working with him during our search. We found our Brooklyn home with Rick’s help and loved it.

Always professional and prompt. Very attentive to my specific needs.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rick Kelly to purchase a new home. From the very start it has been an absolute pleasure! From our initial conversations and throughout the whole process, Rick was professional. His knowledge of the local market is incredible and he always made sure I felt like a priority. At each step in the whole process, Rick came through with his commitment to excellence. He and his team went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of. Throughout our journey, Rick demonstrated immense patience and understanding of my situation. Whether I needed additional time for research or require more information on a parti...
