TESTIMONIALS

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.

C. ROBINSON

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.

Whether you live in NYC, Westchester, or Queens…..you have to use Ralph. He is detail oriented, honest, and has the intuition to know exactly what you are looking for. He responds to your communications ASAP, and he is patient. Overall, he’s got to be the best in the business. I know other people that used him and everyone said the same things about him. Ralph Barbosa. Remember that name.
