Sell

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.

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.

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!

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...

Eileen consistently demonstrated kindness, helpfulness, and availability when it came to answering questions. She approached her work diligently and with a personable demeanor, ensuring to guide me through the process.

Eileen was very helpful when I was looking for my New York apartment this year. She was super communicative, followed up multiple times with me and other figures in the process, and was always prompt in her responses. She was also very friendly, understanding of my various concerns, requests and requirements, and overall easy to talk to about anything. She was truly dedicated to helping me out and I felt very well-tended to as a client.

Excellent dedication to see the job through to successful closing.

Eileen Marie's professionalism was evident from first meeting through the process of closing a complex property. There were thorny issues and challenges which were addressed with excellence and positivity. I am grateful for the outcome.

Eileen helped my daughter and her roommate find a terrific apartment during a very competitive and tight rental market in New York City. Although it was a stressful experience finding an apartment in that cutthroat market, Eileen made the process manageable. She listened carefully to our requirements and needs and worked around our constraints. She is very knowledgeable of the different neighborhoods of New York City and offered valuable expertise. She was patient, responsive and efficient, sending us listings that matched our requirements and quickly booked appointments for showings. She replied promptly to texts and emails as well as followed ...

Rick Kelly took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and it made a huge difference. Thank you for your personal touch, your patience and understanding throughout the process were greatly appreciated. You truly care about your clients.

I couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable, patient, and helpful agent! Highly recommend.

Rick was very diligent throughout the complicated sales process with our condo. I highly recommend him for real estate needs in NYC!

Bought our condo with Rick's help after viewing many properties for over a year. Great experience for first time homeowner. Highly recommend!

Trustworthy, responsive & reliable. A realtor who will deliver!

I enjoyed getting to know Rick, working with him on the complicated listing, auction and ultimate mid-seven-figure sale of a midtown penthouse. Throughout the process, Rick demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and integrity. He was willing to go the extra mile (and often a mile and a half!) for an absentee owner, presenting the gorgeous triplex unit in the most positive manner. Without Rick's high energy, dedication, creativity and tenacity, we would have had a very different outcome. Rick was a pleasure to work with!

Rick is a truly skilled professional. We just sold our condo in LIC with Rick and were completely pleased with his handling of the sale. We especially appreciated Rick's knowledge and guidance through the process, and his responsiveness. A strong recommendation!

I worked with Rick on a very complicated transaction where it seemed like everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. Every step of the way, Rick fought for our mutual client and never took no for an answer. He handled every obstacle with a solution oriented approach and with a level of professionalism and expertise that is rarely seen in a real estate broker. I am proud to have worked with him and would highly recommend him to my friends and family. 5 stars are not enough. He deserves a 10/10.

We spent almost two years searching for the right home in Manhattan, and Rick was with us every step of the way, always patient, always encouraging! He responded quickly to every question and found solutions right away. His deep market knowledge made the process feel much less stressful and so much more manageable. Even with our set budget and specific requirements, Rick kept searching diligently and even tapped into his network to uncover opportunities that weren’t on the market, which ultimately helped us land our new home. Our whole family couldn’t be happier with the location, the price, and everything about it! From recommending lenders and ...
