Daniel Gale Sotheby's international realty broker Lois Kirschenbaum gives us a sneak peek into her newest multimillion-dollar home making its industry debut, discusses her 30-year-long career and shares what makes her job most meaningful.
The Groton Place estate
As an associate real estate broker, a global real estate advisor and the leader of her Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty team, Lois Kirschenbaum has dedicated her career to providing her clientele with personalized care, diligent attention and unmatched industry knowledge.
“For me, the most rewarding part of being a luxury realtor on the Gold Coast of Long Island is the satisfaction of helping my clients achieve their dreams,” says Kirschenbaum. “It is a profession that allows you to have a direct impact on people’s lives and be part of their journey toward living an extraordinary lifestyle.”
Lois Kirschenbaum, global real estate broker
Since she first entered into the real estate sector in 1993, Kirschenbaum has garnered praise for her niche expertise in residential realty in Old Westbury, Muttontown, East Hills, Jericho, Roslyn and the Brookvilles. Kirschenbaum’s unwavering integrity and hands-on industry approach have earned her a loyal, premier clientele that entrusts her with the most important transactions of their lives.

“Real estate sales are enhanced by a broker’s life experience,” says Kirschenbaum. “The search for a home is often one of the most significant events in a person’s life and people rely on a real estate broker to guide them. I’ve had an enriched life and have been privileged to participate in my community, exposure to the arts, philanthropy, travel and all that has contributed to what I bring to the table when servicing my clients, seller or buyer.”
Kirschenbaum’s Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty team has been named as the second-highest production team for the past four consecutive years, in the top 1% of the firm—out of more than 900 real estate agents—and as one of the country’s best real estate professionals by RealTrends.

“You only have one opportunity to make a first impression,” says Kirschenbaum. “Being prepared makes all the difference. I advise my sellers to prepare their homes so that we can maximize their chances of a successful and profitable sale. Buyers should choose their broker wisely so that they are successful in finding the right home.”
Kirschenbaum led the second-highest residential transaction in Nassau County with the sale of Groton Place in 2021—sold for a staggering $18 million—and the highest sale in 2022, for Spring Hill at Old Westbury, which closed for an astounding $12.25 million.

“At 118 I U Willets Road, handcut limestone creates a timeless facade, crowned with a Vermont Slate roof,” says Kirschenbaum. “The home is defined by the finest finishes, four fireplaces, coffered high ceilings and hardwood floors. Enjoy year-round recreation with your own indoor sports court, gym and 3,000-bottle wine cellar. Outside, immerse yourself in the luxury of an in-ground pool and tennis court surrounded by 4.5 landscaped acres.” 118 I U Willets Road, Old Westbury, $8.2 million, 516.526.7425, [email protected]
