    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.

    Working with Idan was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He not only sold my house with incredible expertise and professionalism but also went above and beyond every step of the way. Idan is exceptionally skilled, hands-on, and detail-oriented. He managed everything seamlessly, from preparing and organizing the home to coordinating timing, logistics, and even helping with the moving process. His network of connections and deep knowledge of the market made everything easier and far less stressful. What truly stands out is his commitment and personal touch. Idan genuinely cares about his clients, and it shows in the way he anticipates needs, solves problems quickly, and makes sure nothing is overlooked. If youre looking for an agent who combines expertise, integrity, and true dedication, Idan is the one you want on your side. I couldnt recommend him more highly!

    Idan was available not only throughout the buying process but has been just a call away even after we had moved into the house when we had questions. During the entire buying process, we never felt any pressure and Idan was always available at a moments notice to answer all questions and concerns.

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Monika in our search for a home, and we cannot recommend her enough. Our journey lasted over two years, and throughout the entire process she was patient, dedicated, and always supportive. She is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and skilled at negotiations, which gave us great confidence every step of the way. Most importantly, she was always available when we needed her and treated us with warmth and respect. Thanks to her expertise, we found our forever homeaEUR"and gained a lifelong friend in the process. We highly recommend Monika to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Livingston NJ and the surrounding areas.
