"I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Deborah Ribner. I was selling my dad’s apartment in Manhattan after his death and had very little knowledge of how the city market worked. I therefore needed to work with someone who was thorough and patient, but most of all, who I could trust. I found that person in Deborah.
Her professionalism, honesty, and hard work ethic made the process seamless and painless. She held my hand each step of the way and answered all my questions with the utmost of respect and sensitivity. She was always accessible and knowledgeable. She even helped me pack up contents of his home on her days off knowing how difficult a process it was for me.
I now consider Deborah a friend and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell or purchase a new home.

"Deborah is far and away the best real estate agent I have ever worked with! She is honest, hardworking, and caring. If you need someone to walk you through the tricky process of buying, selling, or renting your home, look no further. Most agents are looking to make a quick transaction, but Deborah really takes the time to make sure you are fully taken care of on all ends of your real estate transaction. The attention to detail is what makes working her unique and brings a sense of calm to what can be an overwhelming experience. Thanks again for all your help Deb!" - Adam

"In the world of New York real estate, some very special people truly stand out. Deborah Ribner is certainly one of them.
She is a terrific broker who always goes the extra mile for her clients. She does whatever is needed to get the job done in the most efficient and gracious way. As a real estate attorney, I know how lucky her clients are to have her on their side. Her first priority is their best interest and I have seen her succeed time after time.
I would never hesitate recommending her to my clients as I know they would be in the best possible hands. I love working with her and I look forward to many more deals together.

"Authentic, honest, thorough and thoughtful are just some of the words that describe Deborah and my experience working with her as my agent. Deb approached the sale of my apartment as if it were her own. She thought of everything before, during and after the sale. Deb takes a unique and personalized approach with her clients. She took great care in ensuring that we found the right family to purchase my apartment, who would prove to be a true and serious buyer. We went through every detail, with her advising me what I needed to do before we even thought about listing the apartment which in the end proved to be incredibly successful, and I was able to achieve my asking price. Buying and/or selling your home is emotional and stressful, Deb is the perfect agent to work with–she will put you at ease and see the job through and even make it fun!" - Elyssa

Deborah then created a comprehensive marketing and advertising plan to stimulate traffic with qualified prospects. Her plan included an inviting brochure, email blasts, extensive internet coverage, direct mailings, personal calls and creative invitations to open house events. Her efforts and dedication to the assignment created immediate traffic and within a short time bids. The result of her efforts was a full price no contingent transaction. Furthur, Deborah assisted the buyer and monitored the approval application through The Board of the Cooperative.
It was a pleasure to work with a dedicated professional and I would highly recommend her for your future real estate transactions.!

"I met Deborah while viewing one her exclusives. She knew her property inside and out, elicited my feelings about the space and took an interest in what I was looking for. I told her about a property I saw and without provocation offered me helpful insight about the building's history. She stood out among all the agents I had encountered and I asked her to be by agent. She selected appropriate properties for us to view and within two weeks we successfully negotiated the purchase of a coop on the Upper East Side. We had three weeks to put together an extensive, somewhat ambiguous, board package which ultimately came off without a hitch due to Deborah's knowledge, attention to detail and diligence. I highly recommend Deborah Ribner to be your agent whether you are selling or buying a property." - Linda
Deborah's passion for real estate began with the buying and selling of her own apartments. She fell in love with the entire process through her own experience; viewing properties, learning the market, identifying which attributes spoke to her, and then navigating the board process to secure her dream home. Her approach is collaborative and transparent. She listens and is respectful of her client's points of view and their time. Her unrivaled energy, insight, enthusiasm, attention to detail, and creativity make her a valuable ally for any buyer or seller.
Deborah was recently involved in the launch and the of a new development project on the Upper West Side. She has also received awards in real estate for embodying leadership, creativity, passion, initiative, and a desire to make a difference in her professional and personal life.
Born and raised in New York, Deborah currently sits on her co-op board on the Upper East Side, where she lives with her two children. Deborah has recently become involved with the Bottomless Closet, an organization that helps dress women and provides them interview skills.
