"I had an excellent experience working with Lib Goss and highly recommend her. She is diligent, knowledgeable, experienced, hard working, patient and kind. In my experience, I was selling a large UES co-op after living there for 32 years. The bottom line is that the property was sold at a higher price and quicker time frame than we had expected as a result of her excellent work and advice.
Lib assessed the situation and provided me with listings of competitive properties on the market, which allowed me to understand her recommendations. Based on her experience, she recommended that I spend capital to make improvements to the property (fresh paint, sand floors) and to use a stager. In each case, she introduced me to experienced, talented professionals who she had worked with previously and she worked directly with them on-site to ensure an excellent result. The final result was spectacular - and she captured that through the photos and description she created to market the apartment. It truly made me sorry I was selling the place.
Lib strategized on the best time to list the market. When multiple offers arrived, she applied her experience to assess the quality, likelihood of closing and negotiating stance. The property was quickly under contract at a better price than we had originally anticipated.

"Lib found the perfect buyers for our 3-bedroom co-op on the Upper East Side. It took only a few months from engaging Lib to closing despite the rapidly declining market in late 2022. She is always responsive, calm, and has a great sense of the market and a way with people. We are busy professionals experienced in real estate and have interacted with lots of brokers in the past. For our sale, we interviewed many agents and chose Lib because she is smart, genuine, and super experienced with the real estate market in Manhattan. Her advice on valuation, staging, and negotiation was all spot on and we truly appreciate all her help getting the deal through the closing line. Seller | Upper East Side | NYC"
"Lib is the consummate professional--knowledgeable, communicative, reliable, calm and patient, and most of all very honest. We bought and sold with her, and at every stage we knew the status of the purchase or sale. The transactions were smooth, deliberate and carried out without a glitch. Should we move again, we will retain Lib’s services. We highly recommend Lib if you are looking for a representative who will get the job done in a professional manner, with little pain and a lot of pleasure. Buyer and Seller | Upper East Side | NYC"
"Lib Goss handled the sale of our Chelsea loft condo with professionalism and grace under less than ideal circumstances. She took over from another Stribling broker who had fallen ill after we had already put the apartment up for sale in a particularly choppy market. She promptly prepared updated marketing materials and provided expert counsel on pricing. Within a couple of weeks, she generated more interest in the property than we had seen after several months on the market. She guided us through a delicate negotiation with multiple bidders that resulted in a timely sale above our asking price. Throughout the process, she kept us informed, listened to our concerns and provided invaluable perspective. She read the market correctly, designed and executed an effective sales strategy with professionalism, dedication and integrity. Working with Lib was a pleasure. Seller | Chelsea | NYC"
"My husband and I have worked with Lib to both buy and sell properties in Manhattan and she has exhibited by far the most patience, professionalism and stick-to-itiveness of any broker we have ever worked with. In the buying process she helped us understand the application and interview process and guided us as first time co-op buyers. When it came time to sell Lib helped navigate the nuances of co-op board needs and prospective buyer wants with a resourcefulness that led to an above-ask purchase price. We couldn’t recommend Lib more highly.
