Raphael Toledano is a successful real estate professional, who has entered this sector in 2009. At that time, the market was facing a big economic crisis. Many businesses crashed and many companies were closed to new hires. However, Raphael successfully found a job at at Weissman Real Estate in Lawrence, NY. This small firm was focused only on residential rentals and sales and they were very successful in this endeavor. Raphael achieved success through hard work. Even though he was the lone driver for his business at the firm, Raphael chose to stay another year, sharing his commissions with the firm- at a cost of many hundreds of thousands of dollars- as an act of gratitude to Mark Weissman. Success breeds success, and going out on his own gave him the opportunity to hire salespersons and tie up and flip deals, first with partners then fully on his own. Raphael Toledano has achieved success. His successful streak has not only earned him wealth and privilege - but it has also given him the opportunity to help others. In addition, he is currently involved in many philanthropic endeavors. He helps homeless individuals in East Village and also contributes to Project Extreme, a 501(c)3 organization exclusively dedicated to helping the unfortunate teens.
