A full spectrum of expertise for buyers, sellers, investors, and global clients navigating Manhattan's most competitive market.
Manhattan's luxury residential market demands a broker with intimate knowledge of its most prestigious buildings and neighborhoods. Stefani has guided hundreds of clients through the purchase and sale of luxury condominiums, full-floor penthouses, and high-rise residences. From Hudson Yards to the Upper East Side, she knows the floor plans, building financials, and negotiation dynamics that others miss. Her approach ensures you capture maximum value — whether you are selling or acquiring.
New York City co-ops require expertise that goes far beyond a standard real estate transaction. Board applications, financial requirements, interview preparation, and building-specific restrictions make co-op purchases uniquely complex. Stefani has successfully navigated hundreds of co-op transactions at every price point — from pre-war classics on the Upper West Side to post-war Manhattan buildings. Her deep relationships within the co-op community ensure smoother approvals and stronger negotiations on your behalf.
Being first in line for Manhattan's newest and most anticipated developments requires an insider's access. Stefani has established relationships with the city's most prominent developers, providing clients early access to pre-construction pricing, floor plan selection, and contract review before properties hit the open market. She advises on which new developments represent the strongest investment trajectory and ensures your purchase terms protect your interests from contract to closing.
Manhattan's historic townhouses and brownstones represent the pinnacle of New York City living — and the most nuanced transactions in the market. Stefani specializes in the acquisition and sale of multi-family townhouses, single-family brownstones, and carriage houses across prime Manhattan neighborhoods including the West Village, Upper East Side, Carnegie Hill, and Harlem. Her comprehensive understanding of townhouse valuation, landmark designation considerations, and conversion potential delivers results for both owner-occupants and investors.
From boutique retail spaces in SoHo to mixed-use investment buildings in Midtown, Stefani advises clients on commercial acquisitions, leases, and dispositions across Manhattan. Whether you are a business owner seeking the perfect flagship location, an investor building a commercial portfolio, or a developer evaluating adaptive reuse opportunities, her analytical approach and market relationships ensure every commercial engagement delivers strategic value and financial precision.
Real estate investment in New York City demands both market mastery and financial acumen. Stefani provides strategic advisory for investors seeking income-producing properties, portfolio diversification, and tax-efficient transactions through 1031 exchanges. From single-unit buy-and-hold strategies to multi-building portfolio acquisitions, her guidance is grounded in rigorous financial analysis, cap rate evaluation, and an intimate understanding of which Manhattan submarkets offer the strongest risk-adjusted returns for domestic and international investors.
Purchasing real estate in New York City from abroad requires a trusted advocate who understands the complexities of cross-border transactions, U.S. tax implications, FIRPTA compliance, and international wire procedures. Stefani has represented buyers from Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, and beyond — guiding them through every step of the process with clear communication, local expertise, and absolute discretion. She is fluent in navigating the unique challenges international clients face and committed to making your New York investment seamless and secure.
Relocating to New York City is one of the most significant transitions a person or family will make. Stefani's comprehensive relocation service covers every dimension of the process — from neighborhood selection aligned with your lifestyle, commute, and school requirements, to curated property tours, offer strategy, and post-closing support. Whether you are a corporate executive relocating for a new role or an international client establishing your New York base, she ensures your transition into the city is as seamless and informed as possible.
The most coveted properties in Manhattan often never reach the open market. As a top-ranked Douglas Elliman broker with two decades of industry relationships, Stefani has privileged access to off-market listings, pocket listings, and exclusive pre-market opportunities. For buyers seeking properties that never appear on StreetEasy or Zillow, and for sellers who prefer a discreet sale without public exposure, Stefani's network provides access that simply cannot be replicated. This is one of the most meaningful advantages of working with a truly elite Manhattan broker.
For investors and owners who need guidance beyond the transaction, Stefani provides advisory services on property management strategy, vendor relationships, rental pricing optimization, and long-term asset management decisions. Whether you own a single investment condo or a multi-unit portfolio, her insights on maximizing rental yield, managing tenant transitions, and preparing properties for eventual resale help protect and grow your real estate investment over time.
In addition to sales, Stefani assists clients with residential and commercial rentals across Manhattan — from short-term furnished apartments for executives in transition to long-term leases for families and professionals.
Long-term apartment and condo rentals across all Manhattan neighborhoods. Access to landlord-direct listings before they go public.
Furnished short-term rentals for executives, relocating employees, and international clients in transition. Flexible terms, premium locations.
