Astrid Pillay

With over 20 years in the business of real estate, Astrid is one of Brown Harris Stevens’ highest grossing brokers with well over $500 million in sales. Astrid also has an extensive record of very high-end rentals.

Astrid works with private clients either buying or selling homes for their personal use or for investment as well as with corporate investors who buy and renovate or develop properties for sale or rental. The latter seek her out because of her knowledge of the market and for her professional advice and sales acumen. Her long experience in the business enables her to provide sound advice to her clients equipping them to navigate the complexities of New York's co-op boards. The bulk of her business is based on long-term relationships of trust with her clients who know that she is looking out for their best interests. She estimates that 90 percent of her business is due to repeat clients and referrals. Her sales and rentals have ranged from condo and co-op apartments, through brownstones and townhouses, to lofts and multi-unit buildings purchased primarily for investment.

In addition to New York City, Astrid covers high-end sales and rentals in the Hamptons where she has a home. She has advised clients on the purchase, rental, renovation, construction, and sale of homes.

Astrid works with a small team of associates to ensure that her clients' needs are tended to 24/7—a factor that is very important for her large number of international clients, most of whom reside in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. She says: "My clients demand, and have the right to demand, service and support at all times—through the weekend and late in the evenings. I ensure that I provide my clients reliable, timely service with unparalleled attention to detail.”
