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.

I had the pleasure of working with Carol Staab, a Manhattan luxury broker, for the purchase of my Chelsea condo at the Metal Shutter House and the successful sale of my condo at 1049 Fifth Avenue. Carol's unparalleled mastery of her craft, guided by her extensive 25-year tenure and profound market knowledge, made all the difference.
Carol provided deep data on the Chelsea market and the market value of the condo I desired. She skillfully negotiated a fair price and a suitable closing date in a highly competitive market. As soon as the contract was signed, Carol swiftly listed my condo at 1049 Fifth Avenue.
The marketing executed by Carol was nothing short of phenomenal. Stunning photos and luxury virtual staging, done by top-tier professionals, showcased the property's elegance. A narrated video highlighted the condo, building, and neighborhood, reaching global audiences through luxury websites, print & digital advertising and social media. Her comprehensive marketing strategy yielded an impressively high number of showings.
Despite some challenges like partial views obstructed by water towers, Carol's unwavering confidence prevailed. Drawing from her track record of success, she approached the situation with determination, securing a buyer and closing within my tight timeframe.
Carol's seamless collaboration with all parties, including the attorneys, ensured a smooth transaction. Her attentive and responsive communication kept me informed at every step, providing peace of mind.
Carol Staab's dedication to her clients’ success is evident. I wholeheartedly endorse her to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home in New York. Her passion and expertise make her an exceptional choice.
