"I cannot recommend Rafael enough! He is incredibly knowledgable and was so helpful in guiding us through the process of selling out home. He explained everything in detail and made sure we knew where we were at during every stage. Rafael even helped provide resources or contacted people for us in preparing the house for listing and finalizing things before the sale. It made our move easy and enjoyable. On top of it all, Rafael is one of the kindest and friendliest people and was delightful to work with interpersonally! I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house "
