About Matt Bauman

Pavel is the real deal, able to follow his client's needs both in what they clearly say and what they vaguely imply. And exhibiting the utmost professionalism through every step of the process, from first viewing of a new property, to post-closing assistance with starting renovations. I heartily commend Pavel to any buyer starting out in their new home search.

Pavel listened to our needs and didn’t sell - but consulted. He is clear and professional at all times - and works for you - not himself or his firm.

Working with Pavel on the sale of my apartment was an exceptionally rewarding experience. He was very professional and efficient, proactive, courteous, and extremely responsive to concerns and needs. Willing to adapt schedules to fit our needs and those of potential buyers. He knew the local market and priced the property accordingly. He and his team worked extremely hard and brought great results. A sale! I highly recommend him.

I worked with Pavel both as a buyer and a seller. He is artistic, he has a keen eye for architecture, and he helps the buyers see the potential of the property beyond its appearance. Above all, he is genuine, thoughtful, and kind.

Pavel guided us through the complex and sometimes frustrating process of buying a Coop property in New York City. Right from the start, his upbeat and excited energy matched our own. He understood our wish list and brought his experience into our search process. We will be reaching out to him for any future real estate needs.

As a first-time buyer, my anxiety and stress levels were undoubtedly high. Pavel could not have made the entire process easier or more enjoyable. He has an infectious personality, is incredibly knowledgeable, and was there for me every step of the way. He is the best of the best!

Pavel is an excellent broker and a great person to work with. Pavel is so detail-oriented, smart, and insightful that he made an intricate process feel a lot easier and smoother to complete. I can’t emphasize enough how much anxiety that took off our shoulders.

Pavel is really a rare gem, especially in this cut-throat industry; he really puts the “human side” back into the process, making you feel taken care of and ensuring a well-guided process.

Thank you, Pavel, your new nickname is "Pavel The Magician" for your professional and excellent help in guiding and advising us, to clean up, stage, and market our Coop to find us wonderful, qualified buyers. We depended on your keen eye to highlight the strengths of our unit, to communicate effectively and consistently, to work with the Coop Board and Management office, to keep your finger on the pulse of the process as you juggled the multiple voices and requests of this sale, and your overall patience and consideration. Thank you for a job very well done from start to finish. Anyone reading this, I highly recommend working with Pavel Zustiak for ...

We were very lucky to have Pavel as our broker. He knew exactly what we needed and what we were looking for. When we were in contract and had been disappointed because of issues with our mortgage approval, he went the extra mile by contacting directly highest levels at the bank to get our loan approved and could achieve that. He provided us with contacts of people we could trust at every step such as loan officers, lawyers, contractors, movers, etc. He is simply amazing.

When we decided to sell our apartment after 10 years, it was 'Welcome to the World of New York Realty' - a situation that we found very confusing! We had been contacted by a couple of realtors, but none seemed to take us seriously. A friend, who is a gallery owner, suggested we should talk to Pavel Zustiak, and we immediately felt a connection. Unlike some brokers, he clearly appreciated the character of our property, and could effectively put this over to potential buyers. There could probably never have been a more challenging time to sell property in New York - around Christmas and New Year is always difficult, but no one could have foreseen the ...
