About Stan Kay

For 18 years, Stan has been helping people find homes they love in towns with 1 hour or less commutes and top rated school districts. He, and the members of The Stan Kay Team, specialize in educating clients about the market, guiding them through every step of the buying or selling process, and providing the peace of mind that comes from working with people you can count on. The Stan Kay team has deep, extensive knowledge about towns across Essex, Union and Morris counties. Working with and for you, the team will ensure buyers fully consider each town's features and available amenities to find a place that compliments their needs. When you're selling your home, Stan's advice and guidance for listing and marketing your property will bring qualified buyers and favorable terms to help you close the deal. Stan and his parents emigrated from Eastern Europe and settled in the US when he was 3 years old. Finding where they fit wasn't without its challenges. But adversity builds character. By watching his parents build a life and career, Stan learned early that through hard work and determination, anything is possible. Success begins with the right mindset. Stan's worth ethic is incredible: you won't find anyone willing to work harder for his clients. That's why a third of Stan's business comes directly from referrals. Even throughout the pandemic, Stan and his team found creative and safe ways to help clients buy and sell, resulting in earning a spot amongst the top 1% of all Realtors in Garden State MLS in 2020 as well as being names to Wall Street Journal's Top 1000 list nationwide. In these unprecedented times, when demand is high and inventory is scooped up quickly--often before it even hits the open market-- you need a pro who knows the business, the towns, and the players. Not only is Stan a seasoned agent and investor himself, but his reputation as an honest, straight-shooter--who's easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with-- is well known and respected throughout Essex, Union and Morris counties. Whether you're curious about your property's value, ready to list with an experienced team that already has eager and qualified buyers, or you're on a quest to find or build a dream home, call Stan.

Idan is a great real estate professional and did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our first dream home. His expertise in the market geographic area was instrumental in determining the competitive price while considering the future resale value for the area. He introduced us to the right home builder and also assisted in the entire process of home construction. Idan was very involved in all aspects of the closing. He was friendly, responsive and setup regular check-ins and always gave a great advice.

If you are in the market for a real estate agent, we highly recommend Monika Khanna from the Compass group. We have looked for a home in and off for a few years and worked with a few agents, but none came close to Monika's level of execution. Every buyer has certain aspirations for what they want in a home and then there is the reality of what's on offer based on your budget. A good agent is one who bridges this gap and genuinely tries to help you not just to make profit. This is where we felt Monika gave honest feedback either on the house condition, future maintenance or renovation costs, location etc. Coming to price, she never pushed us too hard but gave a realistic opinion of what the house might go far based on the market. Even if we wanted to quote for less than her suggested price, she would do the paperwork and submit the deal as sometimes price is a game of luck and lottery and you never know. Our top priority for an agent was someone who is genuine, knows the town well and shows patience and perseverance. Monica displayed all these qualities with utmost satisfaction. Needless to say, she is worth consulting and touring at least a couple of homes before you decide on an agent.

My wife and I started our home-buying journey with another realtor, but after a few unsuccessful offers, we decided to take a step back. The process had become too stressful and time-consuming, and we felt it was best to reevaluate our timing. A few weeks later, we met Stan Kay at a street fair in Hoboken, where he had a booth at a street fare. We were immediately impressed by his knowledge and understanding of our situation, which reignited our interest in finding a home in this challenging market. Stan took the time to talk with us multiple times to understand our previous bids, our expectations for our future home, and the areas we were interested in. He quickly put together a list of houses where we could be competitive, and by that weekend, we were out looking at homes with him. We ended up finding a few that we liked, and Stan spent considerable time discussing the pros and cons of each one with us. What stood out the most was Stan's guidance throughout the entire process. He helped us navigate the competitive nature of the market and offered invaluable advice that ultimately led to us securing a home we loved at a price lower than we had anticipated. Once our offer was accepted, Stan continued to be an exceptional resource. He coordinated the entire deal, recommended excellent professionals for the legal and inspection processes, and guided us through the post-inspection negotiations. In summary, Stan Kay is a knowledgeable, attentive, and effective realtor who made our home-buying experience as smooth and successful as possible. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in this market.

We were in the market searching for a first home for a while. We met Monika through a friends recommendation & were really impressed by her expertise & knowledge about Livingston. Monika slowly built our trust by patiently listening to our needs & never putting pressure on us to move forward or bid more if we were not comfortable in the process. She also helped with puri inspections negotiations. Monika also has a lot of contacts on the industry that helped us in the home buying process. She is a very warm person & we would definitely work with her again when we are in the market to purchase another home.
