“Chris Cervelli helped me and my family sell a building in the heights section of Jersey City. The property was held in an estate which created some unique challenges. Additionally, there was an issue with an underground storage tank and the contractor who was doing the work, but Chris was able to generate solutions that ultimately led the deal to close. He is a resourceful broker who I would recommend to anyone looking to sell.

Real Estate Brokers prove their value by the relationships they have, and their access to information. I was interested in a building that had some issues, however Chris Cervelli had information that other brokers did not, and it turned out the issue was not that serious. The property fit my portfolio perfectly at the time I needed it. Chris is entrenched in the Hudson County market and is an expert in the area. If you are looking to buy or sell property, you need to speak with Chris Cervelli.
Steve Sciametta, Buyer
“I have known and worked with Chris and his firm for several years but only recently had the opportunity to close our first deal together . Chris is one of the top brokers in Hudson County because he has a library of off market listings and tracks market statistic and trends to help owners and investors make decisions based on fact rather than emotion. He knows the people, he knows the product and he is honest. This is why I can wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy or sell a commercial property.
Brian Philipson, Buyer

“Chris Cervelli was a great help to my family. We originally wanted him to help us sell our building that we had lived in for many years. He did a great job in getting us the price we wanted without a mortgage contingency. We didn’t realize the problems that we would encounter with the local building department. Chris demonstrated great patience and direction through the process, and even though it took many months to correct the issues, Chris maintained a positive outlook. If it weren’t for Chris’s focus and determination, the deal may not have closed. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking to sell their building.”

Kent R., Papsun, Building Owner
“Chris is an excellent real estate broker that comes from his experience, expertise, diligence, responsiveness and levelheadedness. He is honest, forthcoming and has incredible integrity in his dealings. He gained our trust and respect quickly. He facilitated conversations between the parties to address serious challenges that could not be resolved by the attorneys. In fact, without his involvement at every critical step, the deal would not have concluded successfully. This was a complex transaction and Chris’s perseverance throughout the transaction was incredibly supportive. We highly recommend Chris without the slightest reservation to anyone looking to valuate and sell their property. ”
Vivek Singh, Attorney for Buyer

Over that time period, they have earned my respect, my undying gratitude and my absolute recommendation as probably the best real estate operation within the state of New Jersey, whether it is property management, partnering, investing or brokerage experience. The Cervelli organization manages a property the way an owner would run it if they were there on site - to reduce expenses and maximize profit in both the short term and long term. ”

“I first came to know Chris by way of referral. My company, which is based out of Manhattan, owner one building in Jersey City which we were looking to sell. We had owned it for many years but we decided that the timing was right and we wanted to sell. We had spoken with several brokers, but Chris's market knowledge, experience and follow up really shined brightly. After meeting with him, we were comfortable that he would get the job done. I can say that he was successful and much more! Chris was able to find a buyer willing to pay an unbelievable price for the property, There were some difficult issues that had to be overcome, but Chris's persistence and poise are what led us to the finish line!``

Steven Porada, Seller
“I am fully immersed in the Hudson County Commercial real estate market as an investor and developer. Having dealt with so many professionals in the industry, I found Chris' experience, honesty and accessibility to be among the best. In this particular deal, we had some serious issues that seemed the deal was going to fall apart. However, Chris’ calm and perseverance made the deal go to closing with all parties satisfied.”
Diego H,Seller
Working on this transaction was difficult and time consuming because the seller was not well prepared to deal with the physical building issues and producing paperwork in a timely fashion. I can say without hesitation that it was the persistence of the Brokerage Team, Chris & Gary from Cervelli Real Estate, that held the deal together in order to close. If you have a building that you want to sell, call them.”
Stephen S.Purchaser
“Chris Cervelli helped me on a purchase of a building in Ridgefield which offered value and upside, however there were a lot of issues that prevented this from being a normal transaction. Brokers generally don’t deal with the issues that came up but Chris and his team made sure that all were handled in order to get the deal to close. For someone looking for a Broker that can help with a difficult deal, I would recommend Chris”
Joe,Purchaser
A local client of mine was looking to sell a portfolio of 3 mixed use properties that he owned in New York. He asked me for my recommendation. Although I already had a contact in New York capable of handling the transaction I used Find a CCIM to add two CCIM’s that were experienced in the local market and the property type to the recommendation. After meeting with all three brokers my client chose Chris Cervelli, CCIM. Chris had tremendous knowledge of the local market and put together a fantastic marketing campaign. Chris was able to get the highest and best price for my client. There were many challenges selling 3 separate properties all at the same time to one buyer. Chris put out multiple fires along the way. The entire time my client and I were fully confident in Chris and were both kept well informed. I will definitely refer any future opportunities to Chris in the Greater New York area.
Brian Ahearn, CCIM
“I first worked with Chris Cervelli back in 2011 where we discussed market trends in the Journal Square section of Jersey City. It wasn’t until about 5 years later that he did some valuation work for me and my partners when we were considering the sale of an office building we owned in the area. Throughout the process, Chris demonstrated a keen understanding of the market, professionalism when dealing with others and resources that were beyond a typical real estate broker. We ended up hiring him to sell the building, which was a very arduous process. The City, acting on a technicality, made it very difficult for us to execute on the contract with an existing tenant. This delay cost us the better part of a year, however Chris exhibited perseverance during our most trying times and he continued to push until the deal was closed. Chris is a broker who goes beyond his normal duty and thinks outside of the box to help his clients achieve their goals. He is a “valued-added” broker who communicates continuously and effectively with his clients. I will retain his services in the future and I can recommend him to any prospective seller without exception.

It’s been some six weeks since the closing of the sale of my family’s property. Please accept this letter as a belated thank you. I often say to my customers that “exceeding expectations is the key to our success”. Well, you, Anna and Cervelli Real Estate certainly exceeded my expectations.

Selling a property that was owned by family for over 50 years is extremely emotional. Although it was a commercial property, it was my parent’s home for most of their lifetime. The selling process was frustrating at times. Your guidance throughout the selling process with the Union City Building Department and Buyer was invaluable and kept me on track with my personal objectives goals.

Thank you again for representing my interests. My sister-in-law is considering selling her Union City property in the coming months and I will strongly recommending your firm to my family.

I have had the opportunity over the past 8 years to develop a successful professional working relationship with Chris Cervelli of Cervelli Real Estate. Since I am the owner of a moving and storage business, Chris has worked with me in handling both individual and corporate relocation's in the New York and New Jersey areas.

On a personal note, after going through a bad experience from a potential buyer involving one of my commercial properties, Chris was able to guide me in the right direction at a difficult time. He was able to recommend a reliable attorney, and offered the correct advice in moving forward which resulted in the successful sale of the property on June 13, 2018. Chris has a straight forward style when dealing with real estate issues which I have come to admire and benefit from in my dealings with his real estate firm.

I believe anyone who gets involved on a professional level with Chris Cervelli will benefit from his knowledge and complete effort in making a real estate transaction a positive experience.

“Cervelli is a family based Real Estate and Management organization I had originally hired to manage my real estate portfolio. We had identified one property within our holdings that I decided to dispose of. I remember as a child going to visit the buildings with my dad and through this I had gained a lot of experience. Despite this knowledge, I was not exactly prepared for the municipal bureaucracy that would ensue during the sale process. The building had a host of physical and paper work issues that had to be dealt with. Though this list of items that needed to be handled was quite extensive, Chris Cervelli and his team worked methodically to ensure that each of them was handled, and the deal was successfully brought to the closing table. There were many times where I thought that it may not close, but Chris’s steadfast perseverance and focus were of great help in making sure that I achieved my goal. Adam Cohen
