Kalav Mistry Licensed Real Estate Salesperson

Kalav Mistry is the best realtor that I have ever worked with! This is saying a lot because I am older and have bought and sold numerous properties around the country. Kalav took me through the complicated process of finding and negotiating my first purchase in NYC while constrained by my busy job in St. Louis, and maneuvering the schedule requirements of a 1031 exchange. She educated me about condos, coops and condops (I had no idea!) and she quickly gained great perspective about neighborhoods and amenities that would be appealing to me. For months, Kalav ran around NYC checking out apartments while face-timing me when I was available and sending videos when I wasn't, and then visiting those same apartments again when I could make it to NYC. She went above and beyond the call of duty helping me to get my board package completed in time (Again, I had no idea!) She was very honest, never pushy and made herself available at all hours any day of the week to answer my endless questions. I trust Kalav implicitly and I would definitely use her again to buy, sell or lease property in NYC. - Debra G

Kalav responds quickly to any questions. It’s very tough finding the right apartment in Manhattan, but Kalav helped narrow down our choices and guided us in the right direction.

Kalav has been very helpful in my entire process of buying my dream apartment! From the beginning, she knew what my requirements are for a studio, and helped me navigate through the complex NYC apartment search process. Kalav is very knowledgeable and honest. She answered my questions whenever I need. She is also very proactive in keeping track of my purchasing process, and follows up with the seller's respective parties appropriately. If I ever sell & purchase another apartment, I would definitely work with Kalav again! Definitely would recommend her to my friends who are looking. - Martha H.

Kalav is a novice buyer’s dream come true. She is extremely knowledgeable about public transportation facilities, grocery shopping and dining experiences relative to a building’s location. She guided us through the entire process of finding an apartment that meets our needs, submitting bids and counteroffers, and filling out coop board applications. She was extremely patient and never pushed us when we were out of our comfort zone. In short, she should be the first person you call, when shopping for Manhattan real estate.

I worked with Kalav Mistry when I was thinking about purchasing an apartment in 2019. Every aspect of Kalav's work was superb. She quickly helped me gain perspective on what I could expect to buy within the budget I provided. She understood my schedule and arranged to show a select group of apartments, each of which had substantial merit and was a realistic possibility. Once, when I could not make a viewing because of a scheduling conflict, Kalav went alone and Face Timed me so that I could see a fantastic apartment remotely. I also trusted her to eliminate apartments that were not right for me even when I could not view them at all. Kalav does her research on comparables and knows the Manhattan market very well. Kalav's demonstrates unsurpassed professionalism and she is a pleasure personally -- so you will enjoy your time with her. She also has substantial experience renovating apartments and, thus, can help you recognize opportunities that others might miss. - Bonnie H.

Kalav was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our very first phone conversation, I could tell Kalav truly cared and wanted to help my fiancé and I find the perfect apartment for us.

We are so grateful to have found her and will be forever thankful to her for helping us find our first home together! - Alexandra C. & Andrew S.

After two months of online and other search methods, attending open houses, meeting so many real estate agents and viewing so many studio apartments that I lost track of the total number of either, I am very grateful to Kalav Mistry for her persistence in helping me find a very nice studio apartment in the in the upper east side area, my first choice in relocating from Queens.

I wish you and your clients lots of success in navigating all the ins-and-outs of finding a new Home Sweet Home! - Jeanne M.

Kalav spent so much time talking us through the renting process, searching for listings, and showing us many apartments until we found the perfect one. She was in contact with us daily, was receptive to all comments we had, and was really just focused on finding an apartment that fit our needs. She went far beyond the call of duty and made a stressful time go as smoothly as possible. Kalav was kind, patient, and very professional every step of the way. I cannot recommend this lady enough! - Lauren

Hands down, working with Kalav has made my apartment hunting in the city so much smoother that before. - Alvin

My husband and I are in the middle of relocating from NC to NYC and Kalav Mistry helped us find an apt from remote. Our experience with her was absolutely seamless as she went above and beyond throughout the whole process.

Kalav Mistry was really responsive and worked so hard to help us get an apartment we loved. She answered every phone call immediately or called back straight right away and kept us informed at every step of our approval process.

I am excited to move in to our new place and give so much thanks to Kalav for that! - Sarah H.

Kalav really is one of a kind. From the moment we started working together, I immediately felt that she was invested in us as people and truly cared about helping us find the perfect home. We were in constant communication, making me feel like I was not just another client on her list. She asked for feedback on each apartment we saw and was patient and receptive as our priorities evolved. She offered us her professional guidance along the way, but also always had our best interests top of mind. There is a difference between someone who is trying to sell you an apartment and someone who wants to help you find a home. Kalav is the latter. I'm so grateful to have worked with her, and I highly recommend you do the same. - Lauren S.

Kalav was an invaluable ally in our search for a new apartment. She’s one of those rare gems of a human being in the otherwise sharkfilled NYC real estate market, someone who genuinely has your best interests at heart. She works hard to find a place for you that truly feels like a home, and doesn’t pressure you into settling for something that doesn’t feel right — a common refrain of hers is “no matter what you decide, you’re making the right choice”. She is extremely accessible and responsive, and will go out of her way to negotiate a better deal for you, even without your asking. We were lucky to get to work with her, and if you’re looking for a new home, there’s no one I’d recommend more highly to help you find it. - Dakota L.
