What clients say about this agent....
Rachel was phenomenal! I was a first time home buyer with an incredibly busy work schedule, and Rachel was there for me every step of the way. She was incredibly flexible and available for me. She was constantly working behind the scenes to make sure that all parties were on board (lenders, insurance, agents, HOA, etc) and made sure that I got exactly what I was looking for in terms of neighborhood, style, and price! I was never stressed during this process because Rachel was so on top of any hiccup that arose. Not to mention she is extremely knowledgable about pricing homes, the structural components, design, neighborhood, etc. If you're looking for a supportive, knowledgeable realtor who LISTENS, and works incredibly hard for her clients. Rachel is the one! I will absolutely be referring Rachel to my friends and family for home buying and am forever grateful for my experience with her.
Let me start by saying I had lots of anticipatory anxiety and micromanagement dread associated with buying my first ever house, which was a new construction. I'm extremely thankful to say that Rachel put literally all of those qualms to rest. We were acquainted for nearly 6 months as part of the home buying journey. I found Rachel via Zillow. As far as the earlier days, Rachel exemplified expert regional knowledge to convey the different options and possibilities, all while appearing unbiased. She knew the local amenities, timing estimates, local builders and new communities, and information about flood zones. For the middle days, Rachel calmed down my anticipatory anxiety, made it very clear what paperwork and vendors to follow through with. She also answered all of my "dumb" questions about the home buying and building processes, and kept an adequate cadence with me over the long term house buying journey. As far as the later days, after I've locked in with a house and we were fast approaching closing, I had conducted inspections and we had a list of items that we needed the builders to correct. A dreadfully long list. My anxiety and qualms had resurfaced... but they shouldn't have been. Words that I've used to describe Rachel are "lawyer" and "nerd." These are extremely accurate nouns for her. She kept the builders on their toes, maintained our list of concerns, and even fought to include some exceptions to add to the title agency during closing. After moving into the house, she continued to check up to ensure our exceptions list was being properly addressed by the builders. It felt like Rachel assumed all of the stress and burden - and I was just along for the ride and in good hands. Prior to my interactions with Rachel, I kept thinking "what's the point of getting a real estate agent, it's just extra cost, it's a scam, there's recent legislation that works against real estate agents anyways." Rachel was the silver bullet that knocked these thoughts out of my system. If you want a stress free home buying experience, with someone that actively cares, maintains good cadence, and escalates things to C-suite level as needed for various companies involved with the home buying process... I'm happy to say that Rachel can serve as your knight in shining armor.
John and Maria were a godsend during our home-selling journey. We stumbled upon them quite by accident when inquiring about selling our home directly to a buying service. Maria reached out, and based on their impressive 5-star reviews and glowing recommendations, we decided to take a chance on this dynamic duo. It was the best decision we could have made. John and Maria are true masters of real estate - their expertise shone through every step of the way. They provided invaluable guidance on preparing our home for the market, helping us price it competitively, and navigating the fast-paced sale. Despite our home being in a more niche, high-end price range of $900K, they worked their magic and sold it in a lightning-fast two weeks...at nearly our full asking price, no less! We were absolutely floored. John and Maria's unparalleled knowledge, personalized service, and tireless work ethic made the entire experience a breeze. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and we'll definitely be calling on them again when it's time to purchase our next home. If you want a realtor duo that will go above and beyond to deliver outstanding results, look no further than John and Maria - they're simply the best in the business.
Rachel is amazing-always willing to go the extra mile! She is a complete professional, who is just incredible at what she does. Her knowledge of the geographical locations, communication, and all things in the home buying process is top-notch! Rachel always came through quickly with information we needed, and answers to any questions. For what can be a daunting process, Rachel never failed in making us feel at easeaEUR|she always treated us in a truly caring manner. We feel blessed we found her, and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Working with Eric was like working with a long term vet in the real estate market. All the knowledge from the back end to the negotiating. He got the seller to come down $10,000. He even helped negotiate a new water heater into my new home. Overall professional, a strong negotiator, and genuinely cares about putting you in a good home at the best price.
Maria and John did an exceptional job assisting us in selling our home in Wesley Chapel, FL. Their knowledge and expertise in selling real estate combined with their nationwide network connections was crucial in selling our home in a real estate market flooded with inventory of new homes and older homes like ours. I personally highly recommend them for selling homes in a competitive buyers market. It also helped that they are genuine, professional and just nice to work with overall.
Rachel was a phenomenal help for us as first time home buyers - a true superstar that went above and beyond at every opportunity, and ferociously advocated on our behalves during the entire process. Rachel was integral to our success not only in finding a home, but also in educating us on the homebuying experience and area itself.
My family and I were grateful to have Rachel as our agent. We couldn't have asked for a better person to look at homes with. This was an unknown journey for us, but Rachel made things extremely easy. She was informative and proactive. She answered all of our questions and prepared us well for what to expect. She is extremely knowledgeable about all things related to home. Her expertise in the market and her connection with different people made things less stressful. She always had recommendations for us regarding general contractors, third-party inspectors, electricians, etc., which was very useful in the home-buying process. She takes her time to get to know each of her clients and gives them exactly what they are looking for. She has my highest recommendation, and I hope to work with her again in the future!
Rachel is an amazing realtor! She has incredible knowledge and insight in the home buying process and always has the best interest of her clients in mind. Her desire to genuinely help us was very evident every time we spoke to her. She went to bat for us multiple times to make sure we were completely satisfied and received everything we were promised when purchasing a new DR Horton contruction! Thanks, Rachel!
Rachel did a phenomenal job in finding me the right property for my circumstances. I am so grateful to Rachel and the Hoffman group for their attentiveness both to what I was looking for, my budget while also keeping my long term goals in mind. Rachel is very thorough, patient and helped me coordinate everything from beginning to end including with the lender. Her support and reassurance made the daunting experience of buying my first home much easier and allowed me to feel at peace with the whole process. Don't hesitate to use her expertise and local real estate knowledge/resources if you want one of the best!
