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.

I had an outstanding experience with my agent Rafael, who went above and beyond to help me find the perfect home. His patience and dedication were truly remarkable. He guided me to a beautiful building with numerous amenities and a breathtaking view. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and I highly recommend his services to anyone in search of their dream home. Thank you for your exceptional assistance!

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.
