Irene helped us by our Manhattan home

Irene was wonderful and dogged throughout this long process of purchasing an UES coop. Her advice and advocacy was invaluable, and her wise words kept us going. Hopefully we will never have to go through this all again…but if we do, we would only do it with Irene.

Dan, Thank you for your thoughtful review and for placing your trust in my office throughout your Upper East Side Manhattan apartment purchase. Manhattan co-op and condo transactions can be especially challenging, so I'm glad I could help guide you through every step and advocate for your interests along the way. Enjoy everything Manhattan has to offer, and I hope we run into each other at the theater one day! Irene

Highly recommend Irene Stein for real estate transactions

I had an excellent experience working with Irene Stein on the purchase of our co-op apartment. She is professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. Irene clearly explained every step of the process, answered all of our questions, and handled all the details efficiently. The co-op purchase pr...ocess can be complicated, but Irene made it feel manageable and stress-free. Her attention to detail and guidance gave us confidence throughout the transaction. I would highly recommend Irene Stein to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced real estate attorney.

A Great lawyer for a complicated Co-op transaction

I am very grateful to Irene Stein for helping me sell our apartment in an unusually difficult co-op transaction. The case involved many people, a complicated closing, and a lot of stressful communication, but she handled everything with skill, persistence, and professionalism. She was attentive to de...tails, calm under pressure, and always worked to move the process forward. I do not think this deal would have closed as smoothly without her help. I highly recommend Irene!!

Miracle worker

Irene Stein is a miracle worker, plain and simple. Selling an apartment is stressful under the best of circumstances, but our situation was an absolute minefield. We were facing the double-headed monster of a rental unit with holdover tenants who refused to vacate and active foreclosure proceeding...s. It felt like an impossible situation, but Irene stepped in as our real estate attorney and handled it with a level of grace, abundance, and expertise that is rare to find. Instead of focusing on the scarcity or the conflict of the situation, Irene navigated the complexities of the tenancy and the legal hurdles with a calm, proactive energy. She didn't just manage the legalities; she added value at every turn, transforming a high-pressure confrontation into a successful closing. Her ability to coordinate between difficult parties while keeping the process moving forward was nothing short of masterful. If you are looking for an attorney who can handle the "impossible" while remaining an absolute pleasure to work with, look no further than Irene Stein. She doesn't just practice law; she solves life’s most stressful problems. We are incredibly grateful for her brilliance.
