Rafael was great to work with. He was very patient throughout the long Coop purchasing process and gave me helpful advice and information along the way. He found properties that were not on any system and had no problem dealing with properties that were in the MLS network or not.

You can feel confident that you are in good hands, as Rafael looks out for your best interest and makes sure you are happy with your chosen locations. I now have a great new coop with all the amenities I wanted and I couldn't be happier. I completely recommend working with Rafael.

I'd like to start by saying I have never had an experience where I have felt the need to write a review, until now. I will keep it short cause I can go on and on about Rafael. The selling of my home had many components and was very stressful, but I feel so lucky to have chosen Rafael cause he was there for me every step of the way. His professionalism and work ethics are incredible. I know he worked tirelessly behind the scene and went above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable and his advice was right on. I put all my trust in him and he made it all come together in the end. Honestly, I don't see it having all come together as seamlessly or even at all without Rafael. I encourage everyone to use his services because he is truly worth his weight in gold.

Raphael was attentive to every detail and handled all aspects of my real estate dealings in a professional manner. He was involved with selling my home for which I received asking price as well as the purchase of my new Coop with the outcome a deal I didn’t expect to make. He is knowledgeable about the business, has a keen acumen for real estate and is perceptive about navigating all the players. What I appreciated most was his integrity. I knew that I could totally trust his advice and his evaluation of both my sale and purchase.
