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.
