About Rafael

Why should you work with me? Clients choose to work with me because I deliver results that go beyond expectations. My approach combines deep local expertise, strategic marketing, and a white-glove level of personal service that ensures every client feels prioritized and protected. Proven Experience Results: With years of experience in the Miami luxury market, I have a strong record of achieving top-dollar sales and helping buyers secure premier properties in highly competitive environments. Strategic Marketing Advantage: My background as a corporate marketing executive allows me to craft targeted, high-impact campaigns that maximize exposure across digital, print, and international channels — reaching qualified buyers wherever they are. Tailored, Hands-On Representation: Every client receives my full attention, expert guidance, and honest advice. I handle every detail personally, ensuring a smooth and confident transaction from start to finish. Powerful Negotiation Skills: I am known for my ability to negotiate successfully in high-stakes situations, always protecting my clients’ financial and personal interests while maintaining professionalism and discretion. Trusted Network: My relationships with top agents, brokers, and service providers — from lenders to attorneys to designers — give my clients a clear advantage and access to exclusive opportunities not found on the open market. Integrity Long-Term Focus: I don’t measure success by the number of deals closed, but by the trust and satisfaction of my clients. Most of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals, a reflection of my commitment to excellence. Work with a true Real Estate Professional In a market as dynamic and competitive as Miami, experience and expertise matter. Whether you’re buying or selling, partnering with a true real estate professional can be the difference between a good result and an exceptional one. With over $50 million in closed sales and more than 500 successful transactions, I bring a proven record of success and the insight to guide you through a seamless, secure, and rewarding real estate experience. As a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) — a designation held by fewer than 3% of Realtors nationwide — I provide my clients with the highest level of market knowledge, negotiation expertise, and personalized service. Every client has unique goals, and I approach each transaction with precision, discretion, and the utmost care. My dedication to excellence has earned me Coldwell Banker’s top performance awards year after year — including multiple Top Producer recognitions and the prestigious Diamond Award (2022). I’m also honored to be recognized among the Top 100 Realtors in Florida, a testament to consistent results and client satisfaction. In today’s evolving real estate landscape, you deserve a trusted advisor who understands the market, anticipates challenges, and delivers results. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or selling a signature property, I am committed to providing the highest standard of professionalism and success. Let’s connect — your next real estate move deserves the expertise of a proven professional.
