Advocate Fiercly

By Rachel Cardman-Brewer, June 16, 2023

I just closed on a real doozy of a transaction.  It was through one of those big brand name companies, which took all the personal quality out of it.    My client was a very sweet, first time home buyer.  Young, clear headed, but nervous for all the right reasons.  And as her luck wold have it, she fell in love with a house that was represented by a company notorious for being hard to work with.  Staying true to form, we offered what we thought was fair, they countered just 2K less than asking and said that was their absolute bottom line.  This is where my value came in. I listed out al the reasons and showed all the supporting data to get them down another 10K.  They agreed with ABSOLUTELY no repairs.  Until the inspection report came back and I advocated for 12K in reasonable repairs, again, sighting all the reasons why and supporting data.  Ultimately, this got my client her dream home in a price range that she could afford.  I walked away knowing that I was worth every penny on this one.

Hey there.  My name is Rachel. I think that purchasing my first house was the single most empowering thing that I did for myself as a younger person.  It gave me a sense of freedom, while providing me with a deep sense of security.  This is why i got into real estate.  I want to help other people feel this same way weather you are a first time homebuyer, or someone looking to make more investments.  I love the idea of helping people secure a future for themselves.   I have a background in design and landscaping that play into my strengths as an agent.  I have a strong background in home repairs and building which give me a keen eye for details and possibilities.   I understand that everyone has individual needs and I would love to help you find and full fill yours.  Reach out me! Im here to help you.
