"Asit was the broker on the transaction to sell my 167 Perry Street, Apt 4H apartment. He found a buyer relatively quickly and worked tirelessly to move the process forward despite the roadblocks/hurtles placed by the Board and Managing Agent. He worked with us to assist in making sure the apartment was in tip-top shape by having it cleaned, inventoried, etc. All-in-all, a very strong effort to assist us in getting this apartment sold. Would definitely work with Asit again!!" - Robert O’Block (Seller) – formerly of 167 Perry Street, 4H

"I have known Asit since 2006 and in 2016 we started looking, on and off, at properties for my purchase. He proved very patient with my very specific/narrow tastes and unhurried pacing. He combines an encyclopedic understanding of New York City's neighborhoods and resourcefulness in identifying appropriate listings with serious design and construction intel and savvy in navigating the purchase process. While several deals we pursued ultimately fell apart because of unscrupulous sellers, he remained steadfast. In December 2022 we finally found my "White Whale", and I closed in March 2023. It's been a journey, but he got me exactly where I needed to be. Thank you, Asit!" - Noah Brick (Buyer) – Hudson Mews Co-op @ 256 West 10th Street

"A native New Yorker returning after decades living abroud, I dreamed of owning a place in the Village. After some false and very discouraging starts with other realtors, Asit took me on showing great patience and understanding of my complete disorientation in NY real estate. As a long time resident of the Village himself, Asit knew the ins and outs of everything! He steered me clear of some bad investments, pointed out what to focus on and found me a great place in days! He walked me through the arduous process of presenting myself to the COOP apartment's Board. He immediately recognized issues with my first lender and then helped push the process along with the second lender to a successful conclusion. Asit is very professional, and kind while having just the right amount of New York aggressiveness to actually get things done! I highly recommend him! Thanks Asit from the heart!" - Dr. Thomas Re (Buyer) – 165 Christopher Street

"Good open daily relationship from start to finish. Can seem like it is so smooth but when issues flare up, always there to take caution but move sale forward. Asit is steeped in our neighborhood as a local, and it really shows. His success will breed more success and he knows how to show options of various apts within one of NY's finest areas to live, work, relax along the riverside. A trusted professional to help if you feel angst and need coaching. Asit Parikh can be your guide down this path (And keep going strong to get you the best price!)" - Steve MacArthur – formerly of 148 Bank Street, 5A

"Asit was a consummate professional and lived up to his word in every aspect of our transaction. I told him I should shout from the hilltops if he sold my apt on Day 1 - and he did. In fact, the reality is, the only reason we almost didn't was because we had so many offers, he wanted to play it out. From photos to buyer engagement to board packages, Asit took care of it all. It was an awesome, low stress experience for me. Highly recommend!!" - Dylan Pure (Seller) – formerly of 167 Perry Street, 4S

"Asit went above, and beyond! He is an amazing realtor. From our initial consult through the closing, he was very professional, informative and always available to discuss our concerns. He made sure the apartment was professionally cleaned, and hired a painter to touch up windowsills and any scuff marks, etc. and did an amazing 3-D Virtual tour of the apartment. And, he got our buyers on the first weekend’s open house! I highly recommend him." - John Regan & Vince Martino – Formerly of 622 Washington, 3B

"Asit Parikh was Amazing! The best broker to sell your property in NYC, especially downtown. He is a passionate and knowledgeable West Village local, who also appreciated the uniqueness of West Village Houses, where he sold my Bank Street co-op apartment above ask. Asit’s expert advice and patience helped guide my decision whether to sell or sublet my home of 32 years. Once I decided to sell he was a life saver prioritizing a to-do-list to prepare my 2 bedroom walk-up for sale within budget through Compass’s Concierge Service. Asit held my hand throughout the entire process including decluttering, obtaining a storage unit, selecting paint colors, and light staging while closely monitoring the progress. I listed my apartment during a very challenging time when interest rates began increasing every month. Always enthusiastic, informed, and an industrious problem solver Asit was able to quickly react to the shifting housing market. He made creative adjustments, tweaked copy, and updated photos so my listing continued to stand out on the MLS, plus posted cool videos with my cat on Instagram. Asit was extremely professional and scheduled open houses and showings with quality buyers multiple times a week. He updated me after each appointment and paid close attention to every detail as he followed up and communicated with potential buyers and their realtors. Asit was also instrumental in facilitating the board approval package. His knowledge of the HDFC conversion of West Village Houses was invaluable. Lastly, he found me a great lawyer for a seamless closing. Asit has now become a friend!" - Judy Shevlin Heim – formerly of 148 Bank Street, 4B

"I had a really great experience working with Asit Parikh at Compass- my listing broker.   Asit got full asking price from a very good buyer that was an easy approval.  Asit lives close by, worked very hard, and was a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end.  Don't hesitate to reach out to him any time." - Susan Palmer (West Village Houses)

"Asit has exclusively been my realtor for many years. I was in a time crunch to find my last apartment and Asit went above and beyond to help. I was out of the country and he attended open houses for me, asked all the right questions and provided a comprehensive assessment on each property. Thanks to his unwavering commitment and world class service we were able to close on a place within my tight timeframe. I highly recommend partnering with him whether you're looking to rent or buy a place, you'll be in great hands!!" - Caitlin Levys (West Village).

"Asit was my first choice to help me rent out my West Village condo after meeting several brokers. He was knowledgeable about the right price and gave excellent advice on how to screen for the right tenant. He found the right people within a week and stayed engaged throughout the entire process ensuring everything was covered. We had a difficult management company and I didn't need to get involved at all. Asit took care of everything. I cannot recommend him enough"- Cathy Lindquist (Greenwich Village).

"Asit has unparalleled knowledge of the NYC real estate market (especially downtown). He is on top of current trends and regional dynamics in each neighborhood. His approach is unique and his insights are savvy. Most importantly, Asit genuinely treasures the relationships he builds and diligently looks after his clients' long term well-being. If you are looking for professional real estate insights, I would highly recommend contacting Asit."- Eugene Lipovetsky (West Village)

"Asit was as helpful to me as anyone in the NYC real estate industry has ever been and he wasn't even my broker. It really speaks to his integrity and work ethic how hard he worked to assist me in my transaction without even having been employed by me. I have and will continue to recommend his services to everyone I know."- S Haydon (West Village)

"Asit sold my apartment in Manhattan in December 2014, and it was a pleasure to work with him. He would go the extra step without fail and always with a smile on his face. He listened to your opinions, made himself available at anytime, and wasn't just trying to make a sale. As the seller's broker, he showed real skill in highlighting all the wonderful aspects of your place while also being upfront and realistic about any negatives to potential buyers. I would recommend Asit."- Tina Chung (Chelsea)

"Work with Asit and you'll get more than you wanted or expected and dare I say, a delightful experience. Asit is more than a broker - he's a curator and full life cycle agent/developer/project manager who wants to ensure excellent service delivery and superb quality work product at every turn. I have been recommending Asit to all of my friends, family, and colleagues @Google (and I rarely recommend) because he made buying remotely in NYC the easiest experience, went above & beyond vetting properties, providing live & virtual tours, etc. and his deep knowledge of the market, neighborhoods dynamics, development, et al continues to be incredibly impressive. A master communicator, he's responsive, quick to the task, and is an expert in his field handling all curve balls as adeptly as he does his negotiations (we closed under asking!). As a rather discerning buyer with a long list of particular requirements, he supported me throughout and I was even happier with my property once I saw it in person. Moving forward, I'm engaging some of his other services given he is now a trusted partner and his robust network means there is no renovation or project that he can't help deliver on. That he and his team are genuinely good humans who nerd out on their work, take pride in their field, and continue to push the envelope on what can be achieved, is a bonus. You won't regret your choice of Asit, just that you didn't find him sooner!"– Jasmine Vallejo-Love (Manhattan)

"Asit was amazing! He is a great communicator and answered all our boring questions about the process of buying our first home. He helped us find our forever home in this crazy market and we are so thankful for his help and guidance."– H Eddine (Manhattan)

"Asit sold my apartment and not only smashed the record on sales of one bedrooms at 167 Perry St., he got me my full asking price. He also lives in the building and has working relationships with the super, the managing agent and the board of directors. He took care of everything in an extremely competent and expedient way regarding submitting the board package. He was able to direct me to where I could get a small, no interest loan to spruce up the apartment before the sale. However, the thing that I appreciated the most about my interaction with Asit was that he handled prepping the place prior to the showings. He was instrumental in removing all of my stuff, junking what needed to be junked and selling what needed to be sold and donated. He took care of engaging the super who did some cosmetic work, the window washer, the floor guys and the house cleaners without me having to lift a finger. It was painless. I am disabled and Asit’s understanding of my condition—I am mobility impaired—was greatly appreciate it. Would I recommend him to other people looking to buy or sell real estate in New York

"I was fortunate to be a renter at West Villages Houses from 1992, and was an enthusiastic buyer in 2006 when the complex went coop. I loved the neighborhood and enjoyed many friends over the years. ln 2005 I married a man from Massachusetts and we spent a bit of time in NYC but more time in New England and his winter home in Arizona. WVH finally relaxed their regulations to allow for coop sales in October 2019. As we worked to consolidate our living arrangements, we decided it was time to think about selling the 2-bedroom in WVH. Daunting. Having had no experience with real-estate brokers in NYC, a great friend recommended Asit Parikh who had worked on several sales with the friend's brother. Mr Parikh also lived around the corner and absolutely knew the West Village and the WVH. As we decided to sell, I was not living in the coop fulltime. So there were many concerns in arranging the prep, showing, sales details, etc from another state. Mr Parikh was an incredible help in offering suggestions and assistance in so many areas. His willingness to comb thru the convoluted rules and regulations of the WVH was impressive. I am truly grateful to Mr Parikh for his endless knowledge and patience in every aspect of the sales process. I can honestly not think of any way he could have been more perfect. After living in NYC for 45 years and the WVH for 28 years, I am so relieved to have this part of my life settled."- Mary Tipton Gibson (West Village Houses)

"Asit is an outstanding agent . He went far above and beyond to help me and my son get our apartment. He made the process so smooth and painless and helped every step of the way . A kind and compassionate person I recommend him for all your real estate needs unreservedly. Thank you Asit for everything ." - Dr. S Jagger (Greenwich Village)

"Asit is a fantastic broker. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the NYC market, what constitutes as a "good" value, and his innate ability to connect with other brokers allowed for a really seamless transition during what should have been an otherwise complicated time in my life (i.e. the joys of finding a new home). I found him to be incredibly trustworthy and will definitely be using his services in the future. I'm really happy in my new space, thanks Asit!" - R Gropper (Upper East Side)
