“My husband and I were a bit overwhelmed in 2021 when we decided it was time to find a bigger apartment in a new part of the city for me. Sharing our concerns with a good- and discerning- friend, we were relieved when she immediately recommended Stacey Kanbar as the best real estate guide for our house hunt. What struck me from my first conversation with Stacey was her kindness, exceptional listening and thoughtful questions, and her reassurance that we would find just the right place. Stacey provided attentive, knowledgeable and optimistic professionalism from the moment we decided to work with her. She was always accessible for questions and concerns and she organized our search with great efficiency and care. Anyone who has undertaken a house search understands the inherent stress and disruption- Stacey and her team alleviated so much anxiety with excellent communication and attention to detail. Within our third round of open houses we found our home! Stacey took the time to visit the apartment ahead of the open house and to offer us her support and encouragement to check it out. Thanks to her extra personalized attention she really knew what our priorities were and which places were worth the time and energy to visit. We are happily settled in our dream apartment! Stacey’s warmth and kindness extend beyond the closing. I feel fortunate to remain within her personal and professional network and cannot recommend her highly enough as an exceptional real estate agent!”

“We highly recommend working with Stacey Kanbar and Julie Kopel. After living in a home we loved for 18 years with our three children, we decided to look for a new place and see if we could find the apartment that fit our entire wish list. We had very specific parameters as far as location, size, condition, and more. Stacey and Julie conducted a thorough search process that was efficient, extremely well informed, and comprehensive. The process instilled us with confidence in our final selection. Their market knowledge and their relationships with the brokerage community were priceless. Not only did they find us our dream home, but they did this before it ever went on the market. After our new home was secured, they sold our existing apartment quickly and at a very good price. Stacey and Julie are outstanding at what they do and a pleasure to work with.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Julie and the KK team. Julie was exceptionally patient and always steered us in the right direction. We never felt pressured (which is a rarity among NYC brokers). The level of professionalism was beyond our highest expectations. Buying a home can be daunting and stressful, but the KK team was by our side throughout the entire process.
Thank you Team Kanbar Kopel!

“I highly recommend Julie Kopel and her team! Julie worked with us to buy our wonderful UWS apartment last summer. We were on a tight schedule to find and close on a place before the school year started. Julie organized a whirlwind tour of available apartments shuttling us around the neighborhood and navigating complex itineraries and logistics with remarkable ease. She helped us evaluate the trade offs between places, and ultimately ruthlessly negotiated an offer on a phenomenal apartment. Her and the team then orchestrated all the steps between offer and closing and kept everything moving along at a comfortable pace.

Julie’s confident, organized and direct approach worked well for us and we appreciated the efficiency and predictability of her engagement model. That and she put up with all of our idiosyncrasies and insecurities about the process without letting on at all how annoying we were being. It was a pleasure working with Julie and if the opportunity arises, we’d enthusiastically work with her again.

“Thank you to the team and especially to Pam Roth for this complicated Estate sale at 230 East 50 St.”

“If you are looking for real estate agents who would be there for you from the beginning to the end – the Kanbar Kopel Team is the team for you! I met the Team in an unusual way. Julie Kopel was not my broker on a prior deal – she represented the buyer and we were the legal representatives for the sellers. However, Julie’s personable demeanor attracted my attention and I decided that I would use Julie for future deals. The occasion presented itself shortly thereafter and my interaction with Julie and Nicholas DeLotell confirmed that we had made the right choice. From beginning to end we were pleased and impressed with how Julie and Nicholas brought the matter to a successful close. They showed exceptional negotiation skills, were attentive to every small detail, were responsive to our every call, and emails were promptly responded to. We were very impressed with - and highly recommend the Kanbar Kopel Team for real estate services in NYC.”

“Strategic. Smart. Hardworking. Dedicated. The Kanbar Kopel Team guided us through every step of the sale process. No detail was missed. They communicated with us constantly. They offered expert guidance at every decision point. They crafted a fanatic presentation of the property and a polished board packet from the purchaser. They maximized the value of every opportunity. Selling a Manhattan apartment requires extensive planning and work, and doing so in COVID requires even more. Julie and Stacy are the highest level professionals and helped us achieve a great result.”

“We were thrilled with the entire process of working with the Kanbar Kopel team from start to finish. I felt that they kept our dream home on their radar screen even before we were looking seriously, and were professional and diligent about keeping us updated with listings of interest. Most of all, once we started looking more seriously, they were extremely knowledgeable of the area and the market, exhibited a great deal of patience as we saw homes that were not of interest and of course, truly represented our interests when it came time for negotiations. I always felt they were truly on our “side” and determined to find us the best home for us at the best price possible. It really was a pleasure.”

“From the moment our lawyer recommended her friend Julie Kopel to be our broker in selling our apartment, our experience was seamless and perfect. Julie and her colleagues, Stacey Kanbar and Katie Melchior, were extremely skilled and sensitive—especially during the difficult circumstances of a pandemic—in all aspects of the sale, from communicating with our superintendent to arranging with Vanessa Grasso for staging our apartment, to recommending Anthony Fierro as our real estate attorney for the closing. The Kanbar Kopel team is superlative! ”

“We had the best experience working with Julie and the Kanbar Kopel team! Julie was endlessly patient with us, shepherding us through the entire apartment buying process until we found the perfect home. She was always available to answer questions and allay our concerns, and she was a fierce advocate for us throughout the negotiation and closing process. We are thrilled with our new home. We could not have done it without her!”

“Dream team! Kanbar Kopel held our hands every step of the way! They made the process manageable and guided us throughout with their expert advice and know-how. We feel lucky to have worked together twice as return clients. Can’t recommend them enough. Run, don’t walk, to work with this talented team.”

“Very knowledgeable and responsive team. The Kanbar Kopel team was great to work with. Positioned my condo to sell and helped maximum proceeds during the height of the pandemic!”

“We loved working with Julie Kopel on the purchase of our first home on the Upper West Side. She is incredibly knowledgeable, walked us through every step of the process, gave us her honest opinion and feedback, and helped us select and buy the best home for us. She was always reachable whenever we had questions or concerns and we felt completely supported by her and her team throughout the entire process. We could not recommend Julie or the Kanbar Kopel team more!”

“Julie and the whole team were amazing! They helped guide me (a first time home buyer) through a stressful process. I trust them wholeheartedly and would use them again in a heartbeat. The staff was responsive to questions and I was never left wondering what was going on. Cannot recommend them highly enough!!!”

“Stacey Kanbar was by far the best real estate person I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She is a consummate professional, knows her business well, and is extremely thorough. She helped us through every step of a very detailed and lengthy process, which was also timely, i.e., everything needed to get done fast. With every single detail, no matter how large or small, she was always there to remind me and help us in any way to move the process forward. Also, she is a kind, elegant woman who was always positive and patient no matter what. I would highly recommend Stacey Kanbar and her team!”

“My wife and I were so grateful to be working with Stacey & Julie during the Fall of 2020. They made applying to a new building and moving as stress free as possible, which certainly wasn’t easy during a pandemic. They are true professionals and we would recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent in Manhattan.”

“We can’t say enough positive things about Stacey and Julie. They were extremely resourceful in a very challenging market. They provided excellent advice and guidance throughout the process. We really felt like we had a true partner! ”

“Julie and Stacey and the entire Kanbar Kopel Team were instrumental in helping us buy our first apartment. At every step of the way, they provided guidance and insight that assisted us in navigating the process. This was especially true when the COVID-19 pandemic upended what we thought was going to be a routine closing. With the situation on the ground changing almost daily, Julie and Stacey kept us abreast of the latest developments, and because of their hard work and dedication, we successfully held a virtual closing on schedule. We highly recommend the Kanbar Kopel Team to anyone looking to buy a home in Manhattan.”

“ I’m a New York girl, born and bred, but I’ve been trapped in LA for 25 years! When it was finally time to come home, providence intervened, and I met Stacey Kanbar and Kathryn Melchior.
I immediately felt that they heard me, and were invested in helping me realize my vision. With patience, attention to detail, great advice, and good humor, they did just that.
Everyone knows how stressful house hunting and moving can be, but instead, it was an adventure.
”

“Let me start by saying that I have bought and sold several apartments in NYC. I will never buy or sell another apartment without the Kopel Kanbar Team.

NYC is full of real estate agents and I’m sure some are very good. However, these two ladies have it all. They are smart and use all the tools they have at their disposal effectively. They are professional, responsive and do everything in their power to make the deal happen without seeming overly pushy.

I recommend using the KK team without hesitation and I’m confident that whoever signs a contract with them, will know they made the right decision.
”

“Start to finish, incredibly responsive, professional, and outright HELPFUL walking through the first time home buying process. Honest support, never felt like I was being pushed, and both Julie and Nick are pleasures to work with.”

“We loved working with this team! They were patient with us on our quest to find the best fit for our family. They were quick to accommodate our timeline when looking at multiple apartments and were happy to show us a variety of options. It was our first time buying an apartment in New York, and they held our hands through the entire process. They helped us put together a superb board package and were professional and wise.”

“Stacey, Julie and Nick worked every day to help me find the perfect place for my son and I . They are the best real estate team I could have hoped for to represent me. I strongly recommend Kanbar Kopel Team to anyone looking for a new place in NYC .”

“Stacey and Julie were an amazing duo, helping us to navigate the changing real estate market, advising us on realistic sales prices, and providing market research for back up. They worked tirelessly and energetically to show the apartment, guided us to stage it, and ultimately secured a great sales price. Stacey and Julie are professional, knowledgeable, hard working and results driven. ”

“From the search for our perfect home to the managing of the information, contracts, and board approval we had the most supportive and hard working team. They understand the nuances of the Manhattan market and were able to provide context when complexities arose. ”

“We worked with Stacey and Julie when purchasing a loft in Tribeca. Stacey and Julie did a great job helping us navigate the process every step of the way, dealing with the board, helping with interview package, and marshaling the process along to a successful conclusion. Thank you!”

“The Kanbar Kopel Team walked me through every step of the process and were able to secure a great price for my apartment very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend the Kanbar Kopel Team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.”

“Stacey did a great job, she knew exactly what we were looking for (despite just meeting us by phone) , what she showed us met highly our expectations and in some cases (like our actual building) exceeded our expectations”

“As first-time homebuyers we relied heavily on Stacey’s and Julie’s guidance throughout the process. From the offer to the closing they made sure we were comfortable at every step. It was a pleasure working with the Kanbar Kopel Team, and would recommend them to anyone.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Stacy, Julie and their team for many years. The clients I have referred to them have been consistently happy with their efforts - and the results. Recently they got my clients an amazing 45% above ask sales price because of their advice on staging and marketing - unprecedented! And as an attorney I appreciate the knowledge and precision they bring to helping with the coop/condo and mortgage application process for our mutual clients. Looking forward to many more deals together.”

“Last year the Kanbar Kopel Team helped me sell one apartment on the upper east side and buy another. Having known the team for 20 years, this was the 4th and 5th real estate transaction they advised me on. From start to finish I felt I could completely rely on Stacey and Julie, and their broader team. Their market research was thorough and accurate. Following their pricing guidance I was able to sell my apartment quickly, taking advantage of competitive bids they’d attracted. On the purchase side, Stacey and Julie really listened to what we were looking for in a new apartment. I’d given up hope frankly, as none of the inventory we looked at was calling my attention. I got an email from Stacey and Julie a couple of months after we’d paused our search saying I needed to see an apartment that had recently come on the market. It was perfect, and super well priced owing to the fact that it was an estate sale whose previous contract had fallen through. We are so happy in our new building and I am eternally grateful to Stacey and Julie for their professionalism and patience in guiding us through what can often be a stressful and emotional process. They do it with such ease - they just know what they’re doing and they do it with heart!”
