The more I speak with first-time homebuyers, the more I realize that the emotions we experience throughout the process are incredibly similar. From the excitement at the start, to the overwhelm of endless emails, to the exhilaration of finding an apartment, followed by moments of second-guessing and doubt—it's a rollercoaster ride. Even the thought of beginning the home-buying journey left me paralyzed with anxiety at times. Then I met Callan Bergmann.
During our first meeting, he took me out for coffee and encouraged me to dream big about what my ideal apartment would look and feel like. From that moment on, Callan took care of every step. He created a personalized webpage for me to easily compare listings, arranged every apartment viewing, and provided helpful insights on local restaurants, transit, and shopping in different neighborhoods. (He also tended to all of the dreaded email overwhelm!) All of this was done with exceptional care and attention to my emotional well-being.
Whenever I doubted myself or felt overwhelmed, Callan was there to remind me that I was doing my part in the process—letting someone help me find my dream home. (It sounds simple, but I can be very shy and hesitant to let others take the reins. Anyone else feel that way?)
Fast forward to my first month in my new apartment, and I’m filled with immense gratitude for taking the leap and trusting Callan to guide me. I can't recommend him enough. Whether you're supremely confident or constantly second-guessing yourself, Callan combines the business savvy you need with a warm, creative, and thoughtful approach that you want in a realtor.
On top of being a fantastic realtor, Callan is incredibly design-savvy. He’s helped me plan everything from paint colors to furniture, lighting, plants, antiques, and even tech upgrades. My best friend, who joined me for a viewing, jokingly pinched me and said, "Can I be besties with Callan?"
In a sea of NYC realtors, Callan truly stands out. I give him an A++...

We encountered some truly awful agents—those who mislead, upsell, and prioritize squeezing every last dollar over helping people find a home. But then we found Callan—and everything changed.
From the start, Callan was the complete opposite of the nightmare stories we’d lived through. He was kind, honest, responsive, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to answer every question (and we had a lot!), gave us fair and accurate information, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. He treated us like real people, not just another transaction.
Once we were selected as the ideal tenants, Callan didn’t disappear. He continued to support us through every step—following up with building management, helping us troubleshoot unexpected issues, and making sure we were settling in comfortably.
If you're navigating the NYC market and want someone who's professional, trustworthy, and truly on your side—Callan is your guy. We couldn’t be...
Read moreSimply put, we wouldn’t be homeowners without Callan’s expertise and care. He took the time to truly understand what we were looking for—not just sending random listings and hoping we’d sort through them ourselves. Every home he showed us felt intentional, never a waste of time.
We spoke daily about what was on the market, and Callan carefully curated a day of open houses based on our preferences. Thanks to that thoughtful approach, we found our new home on the very first day.
He’s responsive, knowledgeable, and if he didn’t have an immediate answer, he always followed through to find it. We never felt ignored or brushed off—something that’s all too common with other agents.
We felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. Callan is an incredible agent and a truly lovely person....
