“We really were fortunate to have Stacey/Compass help us find our NYC apt! She was very responsive, knowledgeable, and made herself VERY available to us, given we were having to look at units only on the weekends. In the end, she really got us to our dream place, which we are loving!! Thank you, Stacey/Compass, as I couldn’t have found it without you!”

“Julie and Stacey sold my apartment on Central Park West and were a delight to work with. Collaborating with both of them really felt like a seamless partnership. They are highly knowledgeable, super responsive, and made it crystal clear that they always put our interests first and would do whatever was necessary to achieve the best possible outcome. From staging and photographing the apartment to writing excellent copy for the online listing, we always felt like we were in capable, expert hands. Julie and Stacey are both the perfect balance of optimistic and realistic, and the apartment sold quickly and for a price I was very happy with. I recommend them as the consummate real estate professionals with unreserved enthusiasm.”

“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!”

“Working with the Kanbar Kopel Team was truly the best decision our family made in our home search. From day one, Julie and Stacey brought an unmatched level of professionalism, deep market insight, and genuine care. As mothers, they understood our need for a true family home. From submitting offers to working through the co-op board package, the team handled every detail — they were incredibly responsive, proactive, and always one step ahead, making the entire process significantly easier for us.

The biggest result they helped us achieve was finding the perfect home that checked every box. Navigating NYC co-ops can be overwhelming, but Julie and Stacey made the entire process surprisingly smooth. They guided us through the board package, thoroughly prepared us, and managed every step with ease and confidence. Their strategy, intuition, and negotiation skills were invaluable.

I would recommend The Kanbar Kopel Team to anyone looking to buy or sell in NYC. They are kind, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly client-centered. They make our family feel like a priority, advocate for us at every turn, and deliver exceptional results. We could not be happier with our home. Julie and Stacey are a dream team who simplify the complexities of NYC real estate.”

“We had an incredibly positive experience working with Nick DeLotell of the Kanbar Kopel Team at COMPASS. Nick handled the purchase of our new apartment and the sale of the old apartment with patience, kindness, and expertise. He listened to our needs and interests and showed us apartments that met our criteria, never pushing us beyond our price point and geographic area. Nick handled the tedious and voluminous details related to buying and selling NYC co-ops. He was available and responsive. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

“Working with The Kanbar Kopel Team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their high degree of professionalism, deep market insight, and clear, confident recommendations immediately set them apart. They helped us sell our Upper West Side apartment through a quick and unconventional process, adapting seamlessly as the transaction evolved. Most importantly, they truly listened to what we wanted to achieve, remained incredibly responsive throughout, and were always willing to pivot strategy to ensure we reached our ultimate goal—a successful sale. We would highly recommend The Kanbar Kopel Team to anyone looking for smart, flexible, and results-driven real estate professionals.

“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.”

They offered expert guidance at every decision point. They maximized the value of every opportunity.

Julie and Stacy are the highest-level professionals and helped us achieve a great result.”

“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!”

“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.

“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.

I recommend using the KK team without hesitation.”

“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.

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!”

You couldn't do better!!!”
