"Stephen is professional, knowledgeable and simply great to work with. I no longer live in NYC, however Stephen made it super easy to sell my condo - from connecting me with the right lawyer, providing transparent and timely information about potential buyers and getting the condo in great shape to achieve the target price. Everything went smoothly...highly recommended!" - Nabil H.

"Stephen is the BEST realtor I have ever worked with. From day one, he made everything easy and simple. I feel he advocated on my behalf and really made the sale happen. Closing on an apartment during the pandemic was no easy feat! Amazing that he could negotiate to get me the asking price even as prices were dropping. I really felt he kept me updated at every step of the way and took the time and effort to check in with me. He was amazing with the open houses and that certainly helped to sell my condo. I was worried about selling my apartment with no furniture, but he reassured me and arranged for virtual staging, which was astounding! My apartment looked stunning in the brochures without being “fake looking”. I highly recommend Stephen for anyone looking to buy or sell. He’s a detail-oriented, hard-working realtor!" - Edward K.

"As a first-time homebuyer (successfully closed on a place in July 2026), Stephen made me feel incredibly comfortable throughout the entire process. He was communicative without ever being excessive. He was patient, easy to talk to, and consistently helped set realistic expectations and goals.

He was open to showing me a wide variety of properties across different neighborhoods in Manhattan and Upper Brooklyn, and was incredibly helpful when it came to evaluating offers and navigating negotiations. Once I found the apartment I wanted, he was a huge help throughout the co-op application process and worked very well with the seller’s agent. He was also in communication with the co-op board and the attorney and served as a general point person for everyone, helping manage logistics and keep the process moving, which was incredibly helpful.

Stephen was present and involved throughout the process. On the few occasions when he couldn’t be present for something like a showing, he provided extensive details and an easy-to-follow itinerary, and was still readily available by text. He also has an incredible network of resources and referred me to both my attorney and homeowner’s insurance agent, who were both excellent.

Overall, Stephen made what could have been a very complicated and stressful first-time home buying experience feel surprisingly manageable. He was knowledgeable, responsive, organized, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. I am very happy with my apartment, and I would absolutely recommend him to anybody looking to buy, rent, or do anything regarding real estate in New York City." - Emiel J.
