Tate Kelly is a riddle of valuable contradictions. To begin with, his reputation for excellence is ironclad: over a decade of experience as a real estate broker and over $300,000,000 in total sales. In 2024, Tate received Coldwell Banker’s International President’s Premier Award representing the company's top 1% of all sales professionals. In 2023, Tate was recognized by RealTrends America as one of the Best Real Estate Professionals in the United States. Representing the top 1.5% of more than 1.6 Million licensed Real Estate Agents/Brokers nationwide.
Tate is a native New Yorker who grew up on the Upper East Side. Tate knows the city, understands luxury, and loves historical architecture. At the same time, he is approachable, adaptable, unassuming, and self-aware. Tate’s track record working in luxury sales serves as the real estate version of the ‘Good Housekeeping Seal’ of approval. Both buyers and sellers value the combined benefits of his individual talents along with membership in one of the most respected real estate firms in New York City. But what really distinguishes Tate cannot be taught or listed neatly on a resume—it is his instinctive ability to relate to clients that has been an integral part of his career since the beginning.
Tate was originally drawn to real estate for the same reason he has always felt at home in New York: countless opportunities to relate to any number of wildly different people in a single day. His engaging personality is not only the result of living in one of the most diverse metropolises in the world for over three decades. It's also because of Tate's dynamic background, including dual citizenship in the US and Austria; penchants for Bob Dylan and Sherlock Holmes; fluency in German; and previous careers as a minor league baseball pitcher and a cook/TV food stylist for shows like Dr. Oz, Wendy Williams, and Anderson Cooper.
Tate has a deep knowledge of the Manhattan luxury market and works regularly with athletes, celebrities, and executives throughout the City. He also works with buyers, sellers and investors representing every point on the spectrum in terms of neighborhoods, budgets, and priorities.
Tate has been quoted and/or featured in numerous publications including, but not limited to, Forbes, New York Times, Architectural Digest, New York Post, Mansion Global, Inman, Better Homes & Gardens & International Business Times.

When you’re on the hunt for a new home, there are a lot of factors to consider beyond just the appearance. However, sellers (and their realtors) know that the home-buying process is also based on emotional decisions, and the way a house looks can have a big impact on whether or not prospective homebuyers can envision themselves in it.
