The Celeste Pandhi Team at SERHANT.

Moving to New York for the first time is no joke, especially knowing how fast apartments get scooped up. I spoke with a handful of different brokers across the city, and this was by far the best experience I had. From the start, Mitch was incredible. He was so responsive, so patient. He helped me coordinate to have a friend come see my now apartment twice (one of the days was even his birthday) if that’s not commitment i don’t know what is. I truly couldn’t recommend Mitch and the team more. If you’re navigating the NYC rental market (especially for the first time), you want someone like him in your corner!

Celeste and Dusan helped me rent my dream co-op apartment in the UES this summer, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without them. From day one, they were so easy to talk to, always quick to respond, and really focused on making the whole process less stressful. They went above and beyond in so many ways. Celeste hopped on a call with me to help the landlord choose between candidates, and Dusan came by on a weekend so I could take another look at the apartment and plan out my furniture. They kept in constant touch through email and text, making sure my application was moving along quickly and that I felt ready for the board interview. What I loved most is how human and thoughtful they are. They didn’t just give advice, they genuinely cared about my situation. After I moved in, Celeste even surprised me with a little gift, which was such a sweet touch. I can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking to rent or buy in NYC. They’ll take care of you every step of the way.

My husband and I had such a great experience working with Mitch and Celeste! They were an absolute pleasure to work with — always kind, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. They’re not only knowledgeable and organized but also offered thoughtful insights and helpful guidance every step of the way. We felt completely supported throughout the process and truly valued their expertise and easygoing, approachable style. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for real estate professionals you can trust and actually enjoy working with!

Celeste and Mitch were fantastic with which to work. From day one they were attentive and patient, taking the time to listen and truly understand what our dream apartment might be. They brought their depth of knowledge and experience in the market to help us find the perfect home. To have a real estate team that you enjoy spending time with is a rarity. Thorough in their analysis of the market, Celeste and Mitch made sure we canvased a large cohort of homes in NYC, spanning seventy blocks and focusing on our price points! Spending the day with Mitch walking from the village all the way to the Upper East-Side, Mitch’s incredible patience and knowledge was the leadership we needed. He helped us quickly narrow down the area that would work best for us socially and professionally. Celeste and Mitch were constant in their responsiveness to questions and texts, no matter the day or time. They personally engaged from start to finish during the close of our CoOp, including the preparation and compilation of the board package that could have otherwise been challenging and complex to negotiate. Having gone through the home purchasing process several times in our lives, this was by far the best experience we have ever had and recommend them without hesitation. Rae and Rand

I had an outstanding experience working with Celeste and her team during the sale of my coop in Chelsea. From the beginning, she brought a steady presence and navigated the complexities of the co-op process with total confidence. She and the team managed all the paperwork and board requirements, which made the transaction feel seamless. Importantly, she collaborated closely and efficiently with the buyer’s agent, which kept the deal on track and ensured there were no last-minute surprises. Her proactive approach made a potentially stressful process feel surprisingly smooth, and I would definitely work with her and the team again.
