“Stacey Kanbar was our agent on a recent purchase of a co-op on the UES. She had excellent knowledge of our desired neighborhood, was extremely attentive to our list of 'must haves' when selecting properties to show us, and had a great sense of urgency once we proceeded with an offer. She was fully available 24/7 during the entire process from start to finish, even when she was on vacation in Greece! I highly recommend Stacey and her team!”

— Emily D.

“We worked with Stacey and Julie to buy our apartment, and then several years later we worked with them again to sell. They made our experience of buying and selling easy and seamless, during what can be a stressful time. They worked with our best interest in mind and were honest, responsive and professional. They are a wonderful team and were a pleasure to work with.”

“My sisters and I are very grateful to Julie and her team for helping us with the sale of our mother’s apartment, which was particularly challenging because none of us live nearby. Her advice was invaluable. She was available to us and we trusted her completely. The stager, Vanessa, was fantastic. She made a tough, complicated situation as painless as possible.”

“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. We had very specific parameters as far as location, size, condition, and more. They conducted a thorough, efficient, comprehensive and well informed search. Their market knowledge and relationships with the brokerage community were priceless. Not only did they find our dream home, but they did this before it ever went on the market. They sold our existing apartment quickly at a very good price. Stacey and Julie are outstanding at what they do and a pleasure to work with.”

— Yaira S. 

“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 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.”

— Morris M.

“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!”

— Kim K.

“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. They 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.”

— Erica S.

“I could not be more pleased with my experience with the Kanbar Kopel team....and I am not the easiest client. I gave them a difficult task and I am fussy. They took all of this with grace, patience, sense of humor and  they always went the extra mile. They counseled me and negotiated brilliantly when they found THE apartment in THE location I wanted.You couldn't do better!!!”

— Ricki N.

Julie was endlessly patient with us, shepherding us through the entire apartment buying process until we found the perfect home.

— Heidi S.


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. 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.”

“You could not go through this process with more knowledgeable or helpful people than Stacey and Julie. 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.  You could not get a better team to help you through this personal journey.”

— Laury P.

“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!”

— Suri and Marc H.

“Last year the Kanbar Kopel Team helped me sell one apartment on the upper east side and buy another. This was the 4th and 5th real estate transaction. I was able to sell my apartment quickly, at a great price when it attracted competitive bids. On the purchase side, they truly listened to needs. I'd given up hope as none of the inventory we looked at was right. We stopped looking for a few months and then got an email from Stacey and Julie saying I needed to see an apartment that had come on the market.  It was perfect, and well priced. They know what they're doing and they do it with heart!”

— Amy K.

“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. Sharing our concerns with a friend, we were relieved when she 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, her exceptional listening skills, thoughtful questions, and her reassurance that we would find the right place. She was always accessible for questions, and she organized our search with great efficiency and care. Stacey’s warmth and kindness extend beyond the closing. I feel fortunate to remain within her personal and professional network. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

— Helen/Nellie P.

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.”
