Rafael Barbosa from Serhant is an exceptional NYC real estate agent. He showed up for my buyer on short notice and got us into same-day listings without hesitation. His professionalism, care, and attention to detail made the experience smooth and positive. I’d gladly bring more buyers his way - he’s someone I trust in this fast-paced NYC market.

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!
