    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.

    Idan did a wonderful job helping us get our dream house. He was always prompt with providing us with potential listings, always considering all of our requirements. Hes very patient and calm in situations where it was a bit of back and forth. Overall, we had the best experience having him as our agent and i would recommend anyone in the market to consider him as their agent.

    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.

    Stan was a fabulous realtor! He was with me every step of the way and really took time to listen and understand what was important to me in a new home purchase. I trusted his calm, professional demeanor and really benefited from his advice and support with what could have been a very stressful process !

    Buying a new home is can be stressful and overwhelming aEUR" unless you have Stan Kay in your corner. After selling my previous home (also with Stan aEUR" because once you work with him, theres no going back), I was navigating a huge life transition. I needed more than just a house aEUR" I needed a fresh start, a safe place for my kids, and a solid investment. Stan delivered all of that and more. He took the time to deeply understand what mattered most to me aEUR" not just the specs and square footage, but the lifestyle I wanted to build. Every showing was intentional. No wasted time, no pressure. He brought insight, local knowledge, and a calm presence that made the entire process feel empowering instead of overwhelming. Stan was never trying to aEURoesell meaEUR? aEUR" he was trying to help me win. When we found the right home, he guided me through the offer process with clarity and confidence, negotiating terms that worked in my favor. We were able to get the right property before it even hit the market. This man does not miss a beat. I moved into this house feeling not just happy with the purchase, but truly at peace aEUR" because I knew every decision had been made with a pro by my side. If youre buying a home and want someone whos sharp, thoughtful, and fully invested in your success, Stan Kay is the only call you need to make.
