Meet the Team

Jay was excellent, through and through. He was honest with us from the start, which made it easy to trust him. My wife and I were completely new to the condo buying process, so we leaned a lot on Jay's experience and knowledge. Jay is a great communicator. He was reachable and responsive at all hours—nights, weekends, holidays, whatever. He was always accessible and unfailingly helpful. He is a problem-solver and a calming presence. My wife and I found ourselves reaching out to him to ask for input on a bevy of questions—including things that were definitely not in his job description. Jay still helped us every time and offered guidance and support....

This review is for Alexia Duquin, an agent that Batra Group is fortunate to employ. Being upstate New Yorkers with limited time and resources, we were extremely confused and alone in the hunt for a NYC apartment for our daughter. Somehow, an angel from above appeared in our lives named Alexia Duquin. Not only was she an extremely knowledgeable and professional agent, but she also ended up being one of the sincerest and truly caring people you could ever meet. She turned a hellish experience into one that was actually fun! If anyone is looking for an apartment in NYC, look no further than this incredible woman. We were so fortunate to have been able ...

Jay and Alexia went above and beyond to help me sell and buy simultaneously; they deserve two 5-star reviews from me! Batra Group provides a personally tailored experience with a warm, caring touch. Selling: Jay helped me get professional photos taken, and Alexia went shopping with me for decorative pieces to stage the apartment. Alexia has a keen eye for decor and even helped me set up the pieces; she was so generous with her time. Jay set a strategic asking price and helped choose a well-qualified buyer for a selling price that was better than expected. Buying: Jay and Alexia were supportive as I figured out exactly what I was looking for. I switc...

James (and everyone at Batra Group) was amazing. NYC apartment hunting is difficult under the best circumstances, and my roommate and I were looking for very specific amenities within an immovable budget cap for months. We had been told by other realtors that we couldn't get what we wanted in the neighborhoods we wanted. Batra Group found multiple possibilities, and within 1 week of meeting for the first time, we were signing papers at a perfect apartment for us. They were incredibly helpful, easy to work with, and straightforward about our options. We are thrilled to be moving in next week, and couldn't have done it without James and the team at Ba...

This is the second time I've had the pleasure of working with Batra Group, and once again, they did not disappoint. I was on a tight schedule with moving, and their agents were able to help me find my new place in such a short time frame. They hit the nail on the head with what I was looking for. They are truly a gem!

I cannot recommend Jay Batra enough. He was attentive, patient, and thorough throughout the sale of a difficult property. He was honest and helped us with hard decisions all along the way. I was extremely impressed by his attentiveness and quick response whenever we called or texted. He made us feel like we were VIP clients throughout the process, even though it is clear that he has worked on much bigger sales. When we need a NYC realtor again, there is no question about who we will call.

Highly recommend! I recently moved to NYC and worked with Batra Group to find an apartment. The experience was fantastic. Their agent Alexia was professional, warm, and patient—an excellent partner in the search for my new home. In the end, I found an apartment that I absolutely love, exceeding my expectations of what I thought I could find in the city. Initially, I tried searching on my own, but most of the apartments I viewed didn’t quite meet my needs. She completely turned that around. She organized a packed first day of viewings, all of which offered great options. After providing feedback on what I liked and didn’t like, she fine-tuned the sea...

Honestly, I don’t think we would have gotten an apartment if it weren’t for Jay being consistent and patient with us. It took 2 years for us to be on and off the market. Jay dealt with great energy and never complained. He was always making sure that we were comfortable and thinking it was the right one. Definitely one of the best businessmen I have met, hands down the best realtor I have ever had! Thank you!

Cannot say enough positives about working with Batra Group. They were incredibly attentive, presented multiple options that were exactly what we were looking for, and one of those was the most perfect property, just on the market. They were incredibly responsive, great communication, diligent, followed through, and as a result, we have that perfect apartment. Would highly, highly recommend.

Everything about working with Batra Group was a pleasure. They found amazing options within my price range very quickly, and I ended up finding the perfect place for me! They even took the time to send videos of the surrounding area of my apartment options and offered to take measurements as needed when I was unable to do so myself. Highly recommend working with Batra Group to find what you are looking for!

Batra Group is a miracle worker. Full disclosure: our apartment search process was probably a broker's nightmare! But they were able to handle every curveball we threw at them and did it with such professionalism and clear communication that I never once doubted that we would find a perfect place with her help. They instilled so much confidence in us as first-time renters and kept their composure as so many changes and difficulties came their way. Their flexibility and commitment to us during that time means I will return to them the first time I need to move (won’t be anytime soon, they got us the perfect place).

Batra was integral to finding the perfect apartment! They really took the time to listen to what we wanted before showing and asked the important questions to make sure we were seeing the right places. Their insight and direction is unmatched!

Batra Group helped us purchase a co-op apartment in Manhattan. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly throughout the process, and personally made the experience as smooth and pain-free as possible. They will work as hard as possible to find the perfect home for you, and support you from viewing.

Batra helped us find an apartment when moving from Amsterdam to New York. They were extremely helpful getting us approved quickly. We love our new apartment!

If you need to buy property in NYC, use Batra Group. My girlfriend and I just closed on a property with them and they went above and beyond to help us each and every step of the way. Alexia was a godsend. She responds quickly, is punctual, smart, competent, and at this point a good friend. You can't go wrong with these people and we will recommend everyone contact Batra Group for their next purchase.

Jay was super helpful and patient as a buyer’s agent. He really tried to take the time to understand what we were looking for and never made us feel rushed or pressured as well as always looking in the interest of the buyer.

Great chance to meet a wonderful friend like Mr jay whom made all effort to make my dream of purchasing my condo in Manhattan come true. I highly recommend him. Will recommend him to all my friends and colleagues!

Working with Jay was a great experience! He was very responsive and always available. If you’re looking for a professional, don’t hesitate to call Batra Group Real Estate.

Jay is a wonderful guy. He helped me secure a beautiful apartment. I’m a little picky, so this is the first and only apartment I liked out of many that I saw. He’s very responsive and helped me through the entire process. When the landlord asked for a recommendation, Jay knew I really wanted this apartment and advocated for me. It’s also a rent stabilized unit, I feel so lucky. I highly recommend working with Batra Group. Thanks again!

Jay did a wonderful job managing the process of renting out my apartment while I was working abroad. Can’t recommend enough!
