When Sarah Fiszel went luxury condo shopping, it was far from her first rodeo.

Fiszel just scooped up a sponsor unit at Naftali Group’s 1045 Madison Avenue in an off-market deal for $13 million, according to public records filed on Valentine’s Day.

The Upper East Side building has 15 full-floor and duplex residences. It was designed by architect Peter Pennoyer.
Fiszel was married to Honeycomb Asset Management founder David Fiszel. In 2018, the former couple sold their Florida oceanfront house at 1214 North Ocean Boulevard for $15 million to former Apple CEO John Sculley III. The pair had completely rebuilt the 1951 house after buying it for $5.84 million.
Sarah Fiszel’s father, along with team members Alexander Mignogna, Emanuel Fiore and Carli Levitt, jumped from Douglas Elliman to Compass last year. Prior to joining Elliman in 2015, Steinberg spent more than 29 years at Warburg Realty, where he worked closely with his wife Renee Bross Steinberg and their daughter.
