"My wife and I recently embarked on a search for a residence with a certain amount of space and lots of charm on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and had the very good fortune to meet Stephane Chopineau early in the process -- good fortune because his second recommendation was indeed a perfect apartment for us! He listened to our needs and preferences and came up with something that suits us in every way in just a few days -- an accident of timing, to some extent, but also the result of knowing the market very well and noting the availability of our property on a timely basis. In addition to his considerable expertise and experience, Stephane is delightful and discerning, and we enjoyed our visits with him, and look forward to seeing him again even though we are happily settled for the time being!" - Fred H.
