Before moving to the New York City and working at BOLD, Raphael grew up in Long Island and received his degree in Economics upstate in Albany. Raphael's vast knowledge of New York really allows him to better assist in the home buying process.
Looking for a new home whether it be temporary or permanent, can be a stressful experience. Raphael believes in making this process as pleasant as possible. "Nobody should ever settle when looking for a home. With me, I think people enjoy looking around the city for their perfect home".
Outside of work, Raphael blows of steam by playing sports and weight lifting. Raphael has many interests that include fine art and wine collecting, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

Raphael is an incredible broker! Ive worked with a few different brokers and Raphael was by far the most responsive and the most knowledgeable. Upfront and Honest. He guided me smoothly in my relocation to New York and directed me to the best options right away. We compared options 3-4 apartment together until we found the best one. He even managed to negotiate my rent down! I am extremely happy with my new apartment in Midtown East, and would highly recommend Raphael to any future tenant looking to rent in New York!

Renting can be a nerve wracking process for some. However, working with Raphael was great and he was informative every step of the way. Overall it was a great experience, in particular, his communication skills are of the utmost professionalism. Highly reccomended!

Raphael was extremely helpful! He was very patient in working with me. He respected my preference not to pay a fee and went above and beyond regardless.
I encourage everyone to hire Raphael to find your next NYC apartment.

I never write reviews but Raphael was actually great to work with. We were bummed because we didn't get the first place we wanted but he really spent the extra time understanding our situation and what we wanted and he found us really good apartments that the other brokers didn't have

Raphael responded quickly, was on time, showed me some great apartments (including the one I asked for) and called ahead to check on availability before each appointment to maximise time. End result - helped me find a great apartment quickly and was there until I picked got the keys.
