Franz J. Rabauer
With more than 29 years of experience representing sellers and buyers throughout Philadelphia and its prestigious suburban markets, Franz J. Rabauer brings an exceptional depth of knowledge, discretion and negotiating expertise to Kurfiss Sotheby’s International Realty. His intimate understanding of Philadelphia, Chestnut Hill and the Main Line, combined with a keen eye for architecture and value, has made him a trusted advisor to clients navigating some of the region’s most significant real estate transactions.
Franz has a particular talent for positioning distinctive properties to achieve their full market potential while providing buyers with thoughtful, informed guidance. “People’s homes often are their most significant asset, so I feel an especially strong responsibility to provide professional guidance to them whether they are selling or buying,” says Franz. “It’s a privilege to be their trusted advisor and to offer them the exceptional marketing reach of an established, world-renowned brand.”
Franz’s career includes representation at the highest levels of the Philadelphia luxury market. He once held the highest-priced residential listing in the area and was responsible for the $7.2 million sale of a significant Chestnut Hill residence, underscoring his experience representing exceptional properties and discerning clientele. He also represented Guildford, an extraordinary Wyndmoor estate that was listed at $8.9 million and set a record for the price achieved for a single-family residence in the greater Philadelphia area when it settled in early 2021.
Beyond real estate, Franz is a longtime supporter of philanthropic organizations throughout the Philadelphia area, with a particular interest in the visual arts, education and programs benefiting young people.
