Josh Rubin

We cannot recommend Josh enough! After having a coop board rejection while working with another broker and a few days before we welcomed our first baby, Josh came to the rescue! He arranged to paint, stage and photograph our apartment in less than 5 days (over July 4th weekend no less). Josh made every step of our coop sale seamless. He brought us multiple offers and helped us secure the right buyer very quickly and had them approved by the board within 2 weeks of submitting their package. Josh is responsive, honest, and a pleasure to work with. There are a lot of brokers in NYC, but Josh's work ethic and great team sets him apart. I look forward to working with Josh when we find our next home.

We were looking to buy an apartment as an investment and a home for our son. Coming from the Bay Area, we really had no idea where to start. A friend recommended that we work with Josh. We were impressed with how quickly he understood our needs and produced a list of potential properties for us. We agreed on a weekend to come to NY, toured 14 properties, and were able to put in an offer that weekend on a great co-op. Josh was able to negotiate a great deal for us that weekend. He is backed by a very strong team who helped us navigate the co-op approval and closing processes. We highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a property in NYC. He's knowledgeable, kind, responsive, and provides helpful advice without pushing. We would happily work with Josh again.

Josh listened to our concerns, and he gave us a plan that worked very well. He and his team advised us on how present and price our unit. We frankly discussed our views, and he gave us solutions that led to mutiple cash offers and a prompt closing.

Josh is an amazing broker. He helped me buy my first apartment 15 years ago and kept in touch with me ever since, providing market updates and answering any questions I had. When it finally came time to sell my place, we had multiple offers come in within the first 3 weeks and accepted a full ask offer. Josh’s knowledge of the NYC market is excellent and his team is very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Josh!

Josh and team did a great job in helping us sell our loft apartment. Josh has a great sense of the market and his pricing instincts were spot on. He is also amazingly responsive, day or night, weekdays or weekends, Josh responded almost immediately to my vms, texts and emails. Finally he has a full service team behind him & is able to recommend plumbers, electricians, movers and more to make the whole process seamless. Josh did a SUPER job for us.

Josh and his team were oustanding at every phase of the sale. He staged the apartment, promptly identified potential qualified, buyers, help guide the contract negotiation which were concluded in a very prompt fashion, and helped at every stage of the sale. He was totally available and his team was a pleasure to deal with. He did a great job.

Working with Josh and his team has been a stress-free and enjoyable experience. Based on their extensive experience I could trust his team to handle every facet of the selling process. He helped early on evaluating and advising on the aesthetics in preparation for listing the apartment, gaging the right people to show the apartment to and handling the buyer and the board in the most professional manner. Thank you so much Josh and Team!

Josh and his team were fantastic right from the get go. My wife and l are presently Florida residents and we contacted Josh about selling my father-in-law's co-op. It could not have gone more smoothly with Josh and his team in constant contact with us. We think so highly of him and his team that we plan on purchasing a NYC co-op using them. Let me also add that his lovely daughter was at our closing and she is certainly a chip off the old block. She was spot on and a delight to meet. Thanks again Josh for a smooth effortless closing.

Working with Josh and his team was a great experience for us. Josh was very responsive and extremely well versed in the process of buying in new york city. He provided valuable local knowledge and counsel that shaped our final decision. And he was able to remove roadblocks and step in as needed during the negotiations and closing process. This was our first time buying in the city and we could not have done it without Josh and his team!

As a first time seller, I had a ton of questions about the process and a lot of uncertainty. Josh and his awesome team were great from the start and at every step. They really take care of their clients, including an incredible job of staging our apartment, which certainly helped us to get our asking price within just a few weeks of listing. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

When we decided to sell our NYC condo we interviewed three brokers at the different firms. We chose Josh because of his expertise and experience. It was the right choice. 9 days after giving him the listing we accepted an offer very close to our asking price. He took care of all the details, and we Closed without incident. His staff was terrific. Very supportive and on the ball. I highly recommend Josh and his team without reservation.

Highly recommend! True experienced professional. Strong advocate. Moves apartments quickly.

“The entire team displays Impressive professionalism and integrity. They were a pleasure to deal with. Josh and his team are very competent and expedient in their follow up. Josh is also a great negotiator. I couldnt be happier with the entire experience.

We received full ask on the first viewing in a market that was starting to slide. Stating anything further is probably not necessary, however, Josh’s calm demean or, sense of humor, persistence without being obnoxious, working knowledge, marketing skills and follow-through staff definitely made this seamless.

Josh and his team are the gold standard for real estate in New York City. Not only do they have their finger on the pulse of the NYC market, but they also truly have their clients’ best interest at heart.

“We utilized Josh and his team at Douglas Elliman both for sale of our Coop and the purchase of another. We received flawless service from start to finish. His assistant Lindsay was equally helpful. There can be a degree of complexity to the purchase and sale of a NYC Coop. The team did an outstanding job on both ends of the process. All calls were immediately answered. Anything that ever went to VM was answered in few minutes. Our sale was somewhat unusual in that it was a 2BR, in perfect condition but very small. Despite multiple viewings and open houses, it took a while to get an offer. We were never pressured to lower the price. We knew the value of the place and we were fully supported by Josh. We found that very valuable. All of his advice worked for us. You will do well to put yourself in his capable hands.

“I had a complex transaction of selling and buying simultaneously - Josh was able to navigate complex timelines creating a transaction that resulted in a timely transition providing guidance and negotiating the deal. he was calm knowledgable, and he did this with integrity. I highly recommend Josh, and will use him again.

As a result of working with Josh Rubin and his team, I was able to stage and sell my apartment at a strong price in a somewhat difficult market. Josh provided superb recommendations from a staging consultant to a closing attorney to a moving company. Josh, his team and all his referrals were professional, extremely knowledgeable and responsive throughout the process and were there for me every step of the way. I especially appreciated that Josh made the whole transaction so smooth and easy for me. I would strongly recommend Josh and his team and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Josh Rubin and his team did a stellar job in listing, marketing and selling my co-op apartment. Josh has a deep knowledge of the NYC market and was able to advise me to get the price I wanted despite a challenging seller’s market. I had 3 offers and was able to select from the best offer which sailed smoothly and timely through the coop approval process. Thanks to an amazing team led by Josh!

A broker friend found Josh for me after a really bad experience with someone else. So I went from the worst broker with an apartment sitting vacant for a year, to working with Josh who sold it for a great price in two weeks. I took all his advice re staging, marketing, and pricing, and it paid off well and quickly. His rec ommendation for an attorney and a stager were also absolutely excellent people to work with. Not all brokers are alike, and the stakes are really high. Josh has a sterling reputation for a reason and I highly recommend working with him.

Josh and his team did a great job with the listing and sale of my cooperative. From start to finish, the entire process was effortless on my part because of how hard they worked. From pricing, to staging, to showing, to contract, to closing - every step of the way I felt heard and represented more than fairly. The commu nication was constant, the suggestions invaluable, and in a less than great market, we got above asking in a very reasonable amount of time, a huge win. Listen to his advice, he knows what he’s talking about.

Josh and his team were great. I interviewed several brokers, and it was clear to me from the outset that Josh had his finger on the pulse of my local market. He was aggressive, but realistic about what the current market would bear. Thus, we priced it appropriately, and Josh got multiple offers in the correct zone in a rela tively short period of time, before negotiating the final sale. It all went very smoothly. I would highly recommend the Rubin Team!

Josh and his team were fantastic in leasing our unit in the flatiron area. They generated significant interest, were responsive in showing the unit and transparent and timely in providing feedback. We could not be happier with our experience!

My sister, brother and I interviewed three wellknown agents when we were ready to sell our late parent’s apartment, an emotionally fraught experience. We se lected Josh based on his presentation, his reputation, and his experience. We are so glad we did... from that moment, through the entire process, he was respon sive, available and totally in command. He convinced us to spend enough money to stage the apartment, which I am sure earned us several hundred thousand dollars in the eventual sales price. His team was equally responsive and competent. I highly recommend him; he is the consummate professional and a mensch as well. His knowledge of the market, his negotiating skills and his quiet, calm and reassuring demeanor make him the consummate professional. I look forward to working with him in the future! I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Josh is the best broker I have ever worked with. This was my fourth purchase and third sale in NYC and this was by far the easiest set of transactions I have ever been a part of. He priced my apartment perfectly so that it sold in 28 days, even during the slow period in the summer, and he didn’t let me negotiate against myself in my purchase, which was a real danger given how much I love my new home! He negotiated a great deal for me and we closed last week. His team is fantastic as well. They are all seasoned professionals who understand the process, do all the heavy lifting and are a pleasure to work with. Sandor Krauss and his legal team are a great extension who work seamlessly with Josh. I will never do another real estate transaction without The Rubin Team!

Josh and Lindsay are a great team. They’ve been a great partner in this whole process. They were responsive and understood our needs. We would highly rec ommend them for anyone who is looking for help in the real estate market.

Josh and his team are top notch in terms of market knowledge, service, and overall pricing strategy. After less than 10 days on the market, Josh was able to secure an all cash full price offer for my condo! I would highly recommend the Rubin team to any serious seller looking to get the best deal in any market!

Josh and his team are truly a professional group with exceptional work ethics. It’s what you get in everyone you work with, every step of the way, when you sign up with him. As soon as I met Josh I knew I had found the person I knew I could trust and work with to list my apt and find the right match for a new owner. They go above and beyond to make your experience the best you could hope for. Thank you Josh and your entire team! Highly recommend.

Josh helped us sell our NYC co-op apartment. He and his team are true professionals. They managed every step of the process. If you are looking to sell (or buy) I highly reccomend the Rubin Team.

Josh is focused, and has the expertise, knowledge, and experience to consummate transactions smoothly and timely. He was always available to answer questions and relay information, and has a fair and honest demeanor you can trust. I’m happy to have worked with him!

Josh was immensely patient and diligent in our look for a new apartment in lower Manhattan. We ultimately ended with a very different unit type than we originally had in mind and Josh was a large help in that journey. He spent a lot time working through the different options and as the search proceeded he was able to make recommendations that were thoughtful and didn’t waste our time. Once we made our selection, his team helped us through the bid process and the Board approval package seamlessly. We would highly recommend Josh and RUBINTEAM | 212.321.7111 | www.rubinteam.com his team.

Josh is a great case study in how to become #1 in sales volume in Manhattan: 1. He and his team maximized the positives & minimized the negatives of our property through careful cost-effective staging that allowed buyers to visualize their own style rather than be distracted by our strong design – it was no easy task to convince us of the need for this 2. He wrote succinct copy and hired the best photographers/videographers that accurately captured the strengths of the great views, unique outdoor space and house-like layout – important to attract new buyers and give remote buyers a real sense of the property 3. He priced the property competitively based on his knowledge of peer properties & market trends 4. Whilst all the above is important, Josh is not the only realtor in NYC to have these skills. On the contrary, few if any brokers have his work ethic (nearly 20 personal showings before contract signing at 99% of asking in 13 days), his persistence – never taking success for granted, and his ability to connect across a broad network of brokers and buyers that comes from 25 years in the business. When he says he has buyers where others don’t, he’s not kidding!

I just sold my co-op in the east village over asking, thanks to the vision, hard work and patience by Josh and his team. It was all handled with me in a different continent, during the pandemic. They navigated all the twist, turns and surprises of the sale making the whole experience better and smoother than I expected. I highly recommend using Josh!

Josh and his team recently helped us complete a deal for our dream NYC apartment. They were always available for questions, knowledgeable about the area and market landscape, and extremely helpful in navigating the board approval process. We would recommend Josh and his team to anyone looking to buy.

Working with Josh and his team has been an absolutely fantastic experience. Right from the first time I met Josh I felt like I could trust him and he would take good care of us and that feeling was 100% correct. He worked with us on setting the right price, getting the apartment staged, and was able to get an offer at asking within 10 days of going on the market. He helped shepherd the deal through the board approval process and has done everything he could to get us to closing and in general to make this as easy a process for us as possible. Thank you so much to Josh and his entire team!

I highly recommend Josh Rubin. He is an experienced professional. He moved the apartment quickly and in our target price range. He is efficient and you never feel like the process is lagging. He was personally engaged and not “just a face”. It was Josh who walked most prospective buyers through the apartment.

Josh and his team are absolutely fantastic. We were able to accept an offer at full price within a week of listing! The Rubin team was responsive throughout the entire sales process. There’s no other team I would use!

15 years ago, I purchased my first home -- an NYC co-op -- and met Josh Rubin as the seller’s agent. It was a great introduction to home ownership, and I always knew that if I sold my place, Josh would be my agent. Flash forward to January 2020, when it became time to put that same co-op on the market. Josh and his team handled everything, beginning to end. Refreshing and staging, listing, showing and bringing in multiple offers in less than two weeks of it being on the market. I accepted an offer (11% over ask!) and then... a global pandemic lockdown order hit. Was this all going to fall to pieces?? No worries! JR and his team safely landed the plane with minimal stress and worry for me, and we closed in May. I can’t thank Josh enough for his expertise, guidance and a really fantasti cally smooth process in unprecedented circumstances. I can’t recommend the Rubin team highly enough!

We had a great experience with Josh/team. He was very knowledgeable about the market, pricing/comps and actions we could take to increase our odds of a favorable outcome (staging/etc). We sold our property over ask in about a week.

Josh Rubin helped us sell our SoHo co-op. His knowledge and expertise is top notch. Every step of the process was very professional and well managed. If you are looking to sell, Josh and his team are the best.” —John D. “Josh and his team recently helped us complete a deal for our dream NYC apartment. They were always available for questions, extremely knowledgeable about the area and market landscape, and extremely helpful in navigating the board approval process. My wife and I would recommend Josh and his team to anyone looking to buy.

Josh is by far the best real estate broker I ever worked with. First and most important he is very trustworthy. But in addition to that, his process is top notch. His advice as far as staging and timing were excellent and yielded results exceeding my expectations both in terms of time to contract as well as price. He also has been incredibly reliable, taking care of any small, medium or large issues that inevitably come up with any real estate sale. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, down to earth, reliable and efficient broker who yields results above expectations, you won’t do better than Josh.

Josh and his team are excellent. He brought the full court press to my listing and delivered a very strong buyer for my property. He was attentive to each step of the process and made sure he was on top of every detail. I enthusiastically endorse Josh and will be using him again for future real estate transactions.

I hired Josh to sell my Unit and he met all expectations. He and his team are very professional and are very honest with what your apartment is worth in current market conditions. My apartment had over 51 showings in a short amount of time and after every single showing I got immediate response from Josh’s team on what the buyer liked and disliked about my apartment. He also managed to get a young buyer into a building with a very strict board which im sure she is very happy about. All and All I had a wonderful experience with Josh and his Team. I highly recommend. 5 STAR TEAM!!!

Josh and his team are absolutely fantastic. By following his advice on pricing and how to best present our apartment, we were able to accept an offer at full price within a week of listing! The Rubin team was responsive throughout the entire sales process, making sure everything moved forward seamlessly. There’s no other team I would use!

Josh was knowledgeable, sensitive to our needs and a pleasure to work with. He also has a sense of humor which I consider essential to the process. We initially met with Josh more than 8 months before we were able to put our condo on the market, due to illness in the family. Josh did not pressure us and waited until we were able to move forward. His responsiveness and that of his staff rate an A+.

We reached out to Josh to sell after noting the other apartments he had sold in the area. He was very thorough by giving us recent sales figures and current listing details for comparables to help us make a decision, but was also willing to negotiate with us and took to heart our feelings, needs, and unique selling situa tion. Once we had a signed contract, Josh and his team covered every step of the process and sold our apartment swiftly and seamlessly.

Plain and simple, Josh and his team deliver what they promise. Josh didn’t waste any time in getting traffic to our co-op and within weeks got our asking price to a qualified buyer. He guided us through the process and referred a awesome attorney for a drama free close. I would not hesitate to refer Josh Rubin to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

Josh gave us great advice up front about pricing strategies and had a professional photographer take amazing pictures of the apartment for an aggressive mar keting strategy. We had 4 above ask offers within a week! The team was very responsive and are highly recommended.

We chose Josh to represent us on the sale of our Flatiron Loft in 2006 and again in 2012 for the sale of our West Chelsea penthouse. Both times it was his per sonal dedication to showing the apartment that I think was the key to success in getting us our asking price. He even came at 9pm to show a buyer the view at night. We also recommended him to someone in our building whose apartment didn’t sell after 3 or 4 months. He relisted with Josh and sold it right away. So we definitely highly recommend Josh.

I have conducted 3 real estate transactions using Josh as my broker in Manhattan. Josh is realtime with his communications which is essential when buying and selling in NYC because of how competitive the market is. I sold my apartment at full asking price faster than I expected.

Josh is true pro and has extensive knowledge of the market. He’s honest, objective and works hard to make sure his clients are happy and get exactly what they want. We were first time buyers and Josh led us through the entire process and went above and beyond.

Josh was a dream to work with. Always pleasant and encouraging as well as supportive. Josh is intimately familiar with the downtown market and educated himself on all the buildings in our block so as to present a cohesive picture to our buyer. Another important thing: Josh was ALWAYS available no matter what the hour. You can’t go wrong hiring Josh to sell your space, or to find you the perfect new space.

Right from the first time I met Josh I felt like I could trust him and that feeling was 100% correct. He worked with us on setting the right price, getting the apartment staged, and was able to get an offer at asking within 8 days of going on the market. He helped shepherd the deal through the board approval process and has done everything he could to get us to closing. Thank you so much to Josh and his entire team!

Josh loves real estate and this shows up in a combination of being extremely responsive, an excellent listener and a lot of patience with both the buyer and seller. His negotiation skills are the best in the business. His goal is to forge a deal on his client’s terms, at the pace of his client. Josh is the most consistent hard-worker I have encountered in real estate. I recommend Josh as an outstanding professional who brings excellence and passion to his work.

Josh and his team were professional, efficient and effective. We were in contract shortly after listing and the rest of the process was flawlessly executed. I highly recommend Josh and his team to anyone looking for the best of the best.

Josh has a positive outlook and a no-nonsense approach. At the same time his sense of humor keeps things in perspective. He was persistent, flexible, hard-working. We followed his advice from beginning to end and we think we got a great deal and fantastic representation.

Our experience with Josh and his team was PHENOMENAL - three reasons why we recommend him without reservation: 1) transparent assessment of home value, how best to stage, and how to organize highly efficient sale process to maximize outcome - 2) excellent listener, very creative problem solver in addressing a number of inevitable issues which surface in any sale; 3) extraordinary market knowledge - we are using him for both selling existing home and buying new one- access to hidden homes not yet listed plus total recall of properties. He’s Top 100 for lots of reasons!

Josh Rubin was a true professional from our first meeting through the closing process. I chose him because he is particularly knoweldgeable about the West Vil lage and because he had extensive experience with apartments in my price range. Mr. Rubin’s team provided ample time to prepare the apartment for showings and was diligent in finding prospective buyers. They were trustworthy, helpful, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the selling process.

Josh is truly outstanding in his field. He knows the market and has an eye for true value. He is responsive day or night. He has a real ability to understand each client’s particular needs. He and his team make a co-op application seem easy. I have worked with other realtors and can honestly say I found him to be the best.

If you are thinking of buying or selling in New York, you quite simply HAVE to talk to Josh Rubin. He is an honest, genuine, straight-talking and responsive expert in this field. Key to what sets Josh apart is that he has built an equally committed and reliable team around him who are awesome too. They are collective ly, and individually, an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Josh and his team were the utmost professionals. Their exemplary reputation is well-deserved. Their strong communications skills and amazing attention to detail ensured the process flowed easily. They quickly brought in an all-cash deal. If I could give them a 6-star rating, I would. Thank you, Josh and team!

I had a complex transaction of selling and buying simultaneously - Josh was able to navigate complex timelines, providing guidance and negotiating the deal. He was calm, knowledgable, and he did this with integrity. I highly recommend Josh, and will use him again.
