Barbosa Team

Mr. Barbosa helped me sell my property. Through the process, he was very professional, actively engaging with my lawyer and providing advice that led to the sale of my property at a higher amount. I strongly recommend him for the selling or buying of your property if you are looking for someone that is honest, professional, and will work in your best interests.

Rafael Barbosa is an exceptional Real Estate agent, and i have worked with plenty of them in a lifetime. Rafael was referred to me by another Serhant agent who assisted me with a NYC sale in the past, and he was amazingly thorough, and helpful. The apartment sold much faster than I ever thought it would, and Rafael was able to secure an offer above the listed asking price. I could not recommend a broker more highly!

Rafael was our guy! He was attentive, efficient and exceeded our expectations when finding our home! We gave him a tight deadline and he was able to meet it ahead of time. He made the process of purchasing a home seamless and really looked out for our best interests. We highly recommend him to anyone we know. You will not regret it!

Rafael was our agent for finding our first apartment upon moving to NYC, and we had a great experience, so we were definitely going to ask him to help us purchase an apartment about a decade later. He was fantastic—warm, patient, informative, firm in negotiations, and I will even say, wise. We had to switch away from our initial choice of apartments which was kind of a torment, but he handled everything effortlessly. We definitely felt like we had someone excellent in our camp and would happily recommend him. He’s excellent with communication, has a broad eye on properties in the area we worked with (and over much of the broader area as well), is very well known and respected in the industry, has an eagle eye for quirks with apartments that could cause trouble (caught something for us during our final walk-through), and has a great sense of what properties might suit his clients. A million stars!

Rafael was a such a pleasure to work with in selling my home, always available for any questions and issues that arose through the process. The pictures and drone shots he took showcased my home beautifully. He went above and beyond my expectations and made this process so much easier.

First things first, Rafael is the absolute best! I was a first-time homebuyer and admittedly had a lot of anxiety about that. Rafael not only put me at ease, helping guide me through the daunting process, but at every step of the way, I felt that he had my best interest in mind. He advised me on the state of the real estate market and gave me honest assessments of what I could and could not afford. He soon became a valuable and trusted resource I relied on greatly. That, along with his friendliness, patience and engagement puts him among the best of the best. I’m grateful to have benefitted from his counsel and expertise. I can not recommend him highly enough. I don’t foresee buying another place any time soon but if/when I do, he’ll be the first person I call.

It was a pleasure working with Rafael Barbosa. He's extremely professional, responsive, and truly understands the real estate market. My wife and I were truly impressed with his marketing abilities as our unit had many showings and sold in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Rafael Barbosa!

want to share an experience that could have been stressful yet wasn't because of Rafael's professionalism. He made looking to purchase an apartment as simple as brushing your teeth. Mr Barbosa was available to me whenever I needed his professional assistance/experience with compassion and understanding. I highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a home to reach out to him.

New York City is my hometown. Born on the Lower East Side into a working class family. We never had much need of realtors and distrusted the folks who worked in property sales and rentals. So to meet Rafael who is kind, down to earth, sincere and thoughtful was to be pleasantly surprised. He made our rental search easy by serving the owner and renter with equal kind care and honest service. Really like working with him. And would turn to him again.

Rafael did a great job selling my apartment. He provided honest and accurate advice regarding valuation, and he and his team moved quickly to professionally and aggressively market the property. He was also very responsive throughout the process. I highly recommend him!

Rafael did a fantastic job, he was quick, efficient and very professional. Working with him was a great experience. Rafael walks you through the entire process of selling and also buying your new home which makes it easy. He takes his time to understand your needs. I really appreciated his responsiveness and flexibility for show times. He went above and beyond.

I have known Rafael Barbosa for years both as a neighbour and as a real estate agent. A few years ago, Rafael sold an apartment I had in Manhattan. My experience was so positive that I recently asked Rafael to sell the other apartment I had in the City. In both cases, I saw first hand how experienced, responsive and passionate about his job Rafael is.
He studies carefully the market in the area the apartment is. He is knowledgeable about the overall real estate trends. The sale price recommendation he makes is based on a thorough analysis. Rafael explains clearly and frankly to the seller what is positive and what is problematic about the unit and the neighbourhood, and why he suggests a given sale price. His objective is to find a buyer as soon as possible by highlighting the positive, and selecting a price that matches closely what the market can bear in the area at a specific time. If the seller accepts the suggested price – especially if it is lower than what was expected
