Rafael Barbosa

Rafael Barbosa is a New York real estate advisor with COMPASS, specializing in residential listings across Upper Manhattan, Riverdale, Yonkers, Bronxville, Tuckahoe, and Colonial Heights. With over fourteen years of experience, he has built a reputation for sharp negotiation, accurate pricing, and marketing that gets properties sold.

A native New Yorker, Rafael grew up in Manhattan's East Village and now lives in Westchester, giving him a personal connection to the full stretch of neighborhoods he serves. That perspective, from the city to the suburbs, lets him guide clients through moves that others treat as two separate markets. He knows this corridor because he has lived it.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Rafael represents homeowners, investors, and sellers across co-ops, condos, townhouses, single-family, and multi-family properties. His bilingual fluency and deep local knowledge give his clients a real advantage in these competitive, relationship-driven markets.

For every listing, Rafael builds a custom strategy designed to maximize value and minimize time on market, pairing pricing expertise with high-level marketing, from professional photography and video to targeted online exposure. His approach is hands-on from the first conversation through closing.

Known for his professionalism, responsiveness, and relationship-driven approach, Rafael believes real estate is about more than transactions. It's about helping people make informed decisions that support their lifestyle and long-term financial goals. Many clients work with him across multiple transactions and referrals because they trust his guidance, communication, and follow-through.
