Gabe was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a somewhat difficult sale that took about two years from start to finish, and we switched from another agent to Gabe about 6 months into the process. Gabe was very responsive, friendly and professional, he kept on top of an unresponsive management company, and made himself available around the clock, often on short notice, for showings. We could not have been happier and would recommend Gabe to anyone.

Gabriel Fanelli and the Shapot team of Keller Williams NYC were amazing to work with. Throughout the process of selling my apartment, Gabriel was very detailed and thorough which helped ease the process of a first time home seller. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and would gladly recommend him.

Gabe Fanielli and the Shapot Team were amazing to work with! I was referred to them by a friend who is a realtor in Long Island and within minutes received a phone call from Michael Shapot and Gabe. In this phone call, we discussed so many things that helped narrow the search down right away. Gabe was always there from start to finish throughout the whole process and was always available for any questions. A few listings in, we found our perfect co-op apartment. The Shapot Team were all hands on deck, including a coach to help us prepare for the co-op board interview process. If you are looking for a hard-working and dedicated realtor, I can't express enough good things about Gabe Fanelli and the Shapot Team.

We have worked with Michael and his team several times over the last few years as our family grew; from representing us on the sale of our condo to the purchase of our new co-op (with rentals in between). Through this time, Michael has been patient, diligent, knowledgeable, and truly had our best interest at heart. Michael and his team negotiated multiple offers for us over this time. In the end, he successfully negotiated our offer and closed the deal for us on our new co-op. We have and will continue to highly recommend Michael Shapot.Danielle and Joe Napolitano

Michael advised me effectively from the very start of the process of renovating, staging, marketing and selling my apartment. He guided me through every step, was very responsive to my questions, and very flexible and supportive when I wanted to look at different options. He was always available and always made me feel as though I were an important client and deserved his best effort. I will gladly recommend him to friends in the future and will certainly contact him first if I decide to reinvest in Manhattan real estate.
