Rafi Toledano entered the world of real estate in 2009, largely considered the worst economic period in the 70 years post the great Depression - a time when many businesses crashed and burned. Despite his lack of experience or knowledge, he was driven by ambition and determination to succeed. Despite the fact that the doors of many companies were closed to new hires, Rafi found himself a home at Weissman Real Estate in Lawrence, NY, a small firm that focused only on residential rentals and sales. The following years were very successful for Rafi. He was able to hire salespeople, and to tie up and flip deals on his own. Success led to success, and he was able to purchase a number of properties totaling millions of dollars! From a small Strip Center in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn, to approximately 20 NYC buildings valued at $250mm +, one can certainly argue that success bred success. Rafi Toledano is a dedicated philanthropist who contributes to charity. Unfortunately, there are homeless people living in the East Village. In order to support these individuals, Rafi is a proud sponsor of food pantries and shelters. Additionally, Teens-At-Risk are a pandemic problem that NY is not immune to. Project Extreme is an organization dealing exclusively with unfortunate teens. Rafi is a proud contributor to this organization, as well as to the halfway house run by Extreme, Miriam's House.
