Carol Staab - Global Real Estate Advisor at Sotheby’s International Realty

"Laurie Banez & Michael Watson 12 Warren St New York New York 10007 October, 2023 We engaged Carol to assist us with the purchase of a luxury penthouse apartment in Tribeca. Based on her excellent client service, we would thoroughly recommend her to others. Carol’s knowledge of Manhattan real estate is unsurpassed and she has access to extensive databases to research all aspects of a building’s development and re-sales. From start to finish of our process – and beyond – Carol was totally attentive to our queries and needs. She introduced us to trusted professionals to address issues such as line of sight and air rights and an extremely responsive legal counsel. Both were very helpful and modest in cost. Your apartment might be expensive but the incidental costs need not be! All of our questions regarding what was to be included in the sale, how certain items worked, storage etc were promptly addressed, diligently researched and resolved. Carol has good negotiating skills and guided us to a successful acquisition. After the sale was completed, is your real estate broker still to be found? In Carol’s case – yes! She has continued to assist us with specific tasks like sealing marble countertops and property manager contacts. She remains helpful and supportive as we get settled in our new home. All in all we cannot speak too highly of our enjoyable and productive relationship with Carol as our broker. Michael & Laurie"
