Carol Staab

Top 100 Sotheby’s U.S. Broker | RealTrends Top 1.5% | $28.4M Dual-Sided Ritz-Carlton Sale

Carol Staab is a Manhattan luxury Associate Broker and Global Real Estate Advisor at Sotheby’s International Realty. Recognized by RealTrends as among America’s Best Real Estate Professionals (top 1.5% nationally) and honored as a Top 100 Sotheby’s broker in the U.S., she is known for representing $10M+ and ultra-luxury Manhattan co-ops and condos across Central Park, the Upper East Side, Fifth Avenue, Billionaires’ Row, and select prime downtown addresses.

A defining proof point: Carol represented both buyer and seller in an all-cash $28.4M sale at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Central Park South—taking the residence from launch to contract in 45 days with a minimal discount. With 28 years in Manhattan luxury real estate and $190M+ in solo closed sales, she brings deep market intelligence, hands-on leadership, and discreet execution to every transaction. She is also known for building-level expertise, including 15 closed sales at 1049 Fifth Avenue, with deep insight into pricing history, buyer expectations, and board dynamics.

Known as “The Real Estate Doctor,” Carol is hired to diagnose what’s holding a property back and reposition it to command its true value—through data-driven pricing, competitive-set strategy, elevated storytelling, and a disciplined launch plan designed to protect leverage and reduce time on market. She leads a curated team—design, staging, best-in-class photography, and cinematic video—so each listing stands out at the top of its competitive set. She also publishes The Pulse, a weekly Manhattan luxury market intelligence report translating contract and pricing data into clear strategy for sellers and buyers.

If you’re planning to sell in the coming months, I’m available for a confidential market and positioning assessment. For buyers, I offer discreet representation with building-level insight and disciplined negotiation—so you secure the right property with clarity and leverage.
