"Rebecca sold our apartment in downtown Manhattan for 10% more than the asking price in only 30 days. Our apartment needed a full renovation, and she executed a strategic and effective marketing plan that involved bringing in a contractor to look at the apartment and provide renovation plans and quotes. Rebecca's personable nature and strong communication skills made her a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism and genuine commitment to our best interests set her apart from the rest. We are so appreciative of the outstanding results Rebecca achieved for us, and we wholeheartedly recommend her as a top-tier real estate professional. - sarahashleytom"

"Rebecca represented me when I purchased a pied-a-terre in Manhattan. She ensured a smooth transaction with her knowledge of the market and prompt responses. She was also very pleasant to work with and always gave us her full attention. One of the standout aspects of working with Rebecca was her meticulous handling of the board package. Given the strict requirements of the coop board, we were initially overwhelmed by the amount of information required. However, Rebecca's attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the board package was properly addressed. We are grateful for her representation, as navigating the complexities of the coop board would have been challenging without her guidance. We would definitely refer Rebecca to anyone we know who is looking to buy a home in the city. - ytalmor54"

"Before Rebecca became my broker I was searching on my own, and I was overwhelmed by the process. Once I started working with Rebecca, everything became less stressful. I asked her so many questions, and she addressed them all with crystal-clear answers, keeping me in the loop every step of the way. Rebecca made me feel at ease throughout the entire deal. What was particularly useful was that the seller's agent was familiar with and fond of Rebecca. Her relationship with this other broker played a key role in edging out the competition, as someone else had also made an offer at the same time. The agent knew Rebecca was easy to work with and that she could deal with the notoriously strict coop board without any issues. Rebecca was friendly and helpful throughout the entire purchase process, and she remained just as responsive and helpful even after I closed. I will definitely be calling her when it's time for my next move. - Emmalu89 "
"Rebecca not only brokered our purchase on the Upper East Side, but she also represented us on the sale years later. From navigating a daunting co-op board review to negotiating fair value on both the entry and exit, Rebecca showcased her expert-level knowledge of the Manhattan market with patience and accessibility. Rebecca educated us each step of the way. Rebecca completed the rare cycle of going from real estate agent to a true friend. Is there a better validation than that? - Caitlin M."

"I had an exceptional experience working with Rebecca when I purchased a condo on the Upper West Side. From the start, Rebecca demonstrated a keen understanding of my preferences, quickly sending me options that perfectly aligned with my needs. She was always very responsive and arranged showings quickly and efficiently. She negotiated hard on my behalf and made the process seamless. Later, when I decided to rent out the apartment, I turned to Rebecca for assistance. She not only secured the full asking price but also found an excellent tenant. She went above and beyond by thoroughly qualifying the tenant to make sure my experience as a landlord would be issue-free. Rebecca is a true professional, and I highly recommend her to any buyer or seller. Her understanding of her clients' needs, responsiveness, negotiation skills, and market knowledge make her an invaluable asset. - Yindong C."

"Rebecca is an exceptional real estate broker! If it wasn’t for her, my son and his wife (first-time home buyers) would never have found their dream home in Brooklyn. Her hand-holding through every step of the way and her expertise made the entire process truly seamless. After working with her for just a short period of time, we quickly realized we didn't know what we didn't know. Trust me when I say, you want to have Rebecca on your side. Her expertise became particularly evident when touring a unit in a new development. We liked the apartment but weren't sure it was the right fit. Rebecca believed another apartment in the building, which had NEVER hit the market, would be a great fit. But the listing agent said he had already gotten a signed contract and therefore didn’t want to show the apartment. Disappointed, we were ready to walk away. However, Rebecca encouraged us to see the contracted unit anyway. In her friendly style she encouraged the broker to show us the apartment, "just in case." Her intuition and experience led her to ask about the deposit which the broker admitted had not yet been received. Her tenacity and willingness to advocate for her clients sets Rebecca apart. We believe others would have accepted that the contract was signed and left it at that. Rebecca's in-depth knowledge of real estate was evident at every step. She cares about her clients and was even able to get the seller to pay some of the closing costs that we would have been responsible for. What could have been a highly stressful process was made so much easier by having a trusted advocate with you every step of the way. So, to anyone who wants a real estate agent who knows her way around every aspect of buying or selling a home and who has excellent contacts in all related fields, you won’t find anyone more accessible, professional or tenacious than Rebecca. - M.

"I have known Rebecca for several years, and when my partner and I decided to buy our first home in Tribeca, we knew she was the right person to represent us. Working with Rebecca was a pleasure from start to finish. Within less than 24 hours of contacting her, she sent us a detailed list of apartments that met our criteria and scheduled tours for us that same week. Rebecca was always professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions, but Rebecca patiently answered them all and provided guidance every step of the way. Thanks to her recommendations, we were able to find a great real estate attorney and a contractor who did an excellent job painting our new place. Now we are happily living in our dream apartment, and we couldn't have done it without Rebecca's help. I am so grateful to have met her, and I would absolutely work with her again! - Jordyn H."

"Rebecca is an outstanding professional and a true pleasure to work with. I met her briefly when viewing an apartment she had listed and immediately contacted her to represent my family as first-time buyers. She was patient, ultra-responsive, warm, and---importantly---a true expert in her field. We worked with her over a period of six months, and she helped us purchase a beautiful apartment on a dream block in Park Slope. Rebecca held our hands through every step of the process, and we always felt like she had our back. We recommend her without reservation! - Kayla M."

"We are pleased to provide some information on my experience working with Rebecca Orbach last year. I started working with Rebecca when she arrived at my apartment to give me some information I had requested on how I might go about subleasing my apartment on the upper east side. Rebecca arrived on time and was very professional in her ability to discuss the process with me taking as much time as I required. She arrived with comps from other apartments that were similar to ours as well as the documentation for what was required from us in terms of costs associated with a sub-lease from our Co-Op Board. Since we had no previous experience and/or knowledge with the New York City process of sub-leasing, We found Rebecca’s knowledge and familiarity with my specific building to be very helpful. She made herself available to answer any and all questions my husband and I had and made helpful suggestions on how we should progress. Once Rebecca had the listing she jumped into action showing the apartment frequently. Rebecca kept us informed about everyone that she showed the apartment to, and clearly conveyed all offers that were made with her recommendations as to whether we should proceed. She was patient, advised us on all situations and made herself available on very short notice. She was very considerate of our time schedule when showing the apartment. Her professionalism, courteousness, and special attention to details made us very comfortable with her. We ultimately found Rebecca to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, and accessible from early mornings, late nights, weekdays to weekends. She always took into consideration our concerns. She is one of the most pleasant people I have had the pleasure of working with and would recommend her to anyone interested in listing their apartment . Rebecca is poised, polished and very accomplished. This young woman knows her business. Should you need any further information please feel free to contact us."

"Rebecca helped me purchase my first home in NYC, which was a new development project. I had no idea how new developments worked, or what the benefits were, but she explained it to me and made the process so easy. Throughout the whole process Rebecca was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and accessible. I never had to wait more than a few minutes for a reply, even on weekends and very late at night. She made me feel as though I was her only and most important client, which was truly invaluable. Rebecca negotiated hard on my behalf and helped ease some of the terms associated with purchasing in a new development. From the first day we met until we closed, Rebecca was by my side; I never felt concerned or confused in her hands. She truly cares about each and every one of her clients and I was so excited to be able to refer her to my friends (all of whom also adore her). It's hard to find people that will really work hard and go to bat for you and that is exactly what Rebecca does. She is tenacious, smart, kind, and incredibly hard-working. I am so grateful for my experience and cannot say enough wonderful things about her. I'm very picky, and even though it took me a little while to make a decision, Rebecca remained patient and never made me feel like she was "selling me" on anything or getting frustrated. She continuously offered me invaluable knowledge and resources; she is a true professional. A native New Yorker, Rebecca is incredibly familiar with all the different parts of Manhattan."

"Rebecca was referred by a friend of mine that I had met in Miami and honestly I would highly recommend her if anyone is in the process of relocating to New York. As overwhelming as the city is, Rebecca took the time to not only show my sister and I apartments within our price range but teach us about the different areas, etc. We were very specific in what we wanted and everything that she had shown us met our expectations. What really impressed me was the time she spent with my sister and I during the Holiday's. Not once did I feel she was trying to make a sale, she was genuine and truly cared about finding the perfect fit for us, which is rare to find. Follow up and follow through was thorough and would use her again if I needed to relocate in NYC."
★★★★★
"Rebecca was very professional and always had our best interest at heart! She found me the perfect studio apartment and made a long purchasing process go as smoothly and swiftly as possible. I've been at this same apartment for a year and a half and don't plan on leaving any time soon. Can't thank her enough for all her hard work and the cherry on top of it all was she wasn't all business. She's sweet, friendly and actually cares about people and their futures. I will definitely be calling her when I am ready for my next home."
★★★★★
"We're so grateful to Rebecca Orbach, the young, savvy Douglas Elliman agent who helped execute the sale of our upper East side coop. Rebecca is flexible,responsive, and knowledgable. She brings a delightful energy to a challenging process; our board is not the easiest to deal with. However, Rebecca knew exactly how to qualify perspective buyers, creating a win-win result for all! Highly recommend this rising star!"
