Lets get to know a little more about Rachel Hebert:rachel

 

How did you get your start in real estate? Ever since I was in high school I was so intrigued with homes and real estate as a whole industry. But when I went to LSU it wasn’t a major to chose from, so, long story short, I ended up graduating from LSU with my degree in Education and went on to get my Masters in Eduction as well. I ended up teaching for three years post graduation and the entire time I just kept wondering what it would be like to be a realtor and help others buy and sell real estate. So much so, I ended up going to Real Estate night school while teaching during the day. Once I finished the real estate course, I knew! My journey was not meant for teaching in the schools, it was meant for helping and educating others in the buying and selling of their properties. I got my real estate license in December of 2013 and have never looked back! I have loved every minute of it!

What would you say to millennials who consider this an “easy” profession to get into?
Real estate is 100% NOT an easy profession to get into. There will be a few sales here and there that may come easy to you based on luck, just like anything else. but 90% of the time you are hustling, getting your name out there, trying to beat the competition and vying for people’s business. It takes time, a work ethic, dedication and patience. After a year or two into the business, if you do a great job for your clients, then they will send you referrals and one day use you again to represent them when they go to buy or sell in the future. You also must remain very flexible and be able to work with deadlines, as real estate is a “time is of the essence” industry!

What is your favorite thing about your job?
My favorite thing about my job is getting the opportunity to get to know so many different people all over Acadiana and help them throughout the process of fulfilling their dream of homeownership. Seeing the look on their faces at the closing table when they get the keys is PRICELESS, and being part of that journey is so rewarding and joyful! And on the flip side, representing sellers is very special because helping them sell their home is leading them to some end, whether it be a new home, downsizing for more financial freedom, upsizing…being part of their journey is so rewarding. I also love how every single day brings new challenges and not every day is the same, supposes the whole way!

Welcome! I'm Heather ( AKA: Paige) Moody . A Little About me: I was born and raised in a small town in Eunice, Louisiana where I started my first mortgage company in 2005 at the age of 21 years old. Since 2005 I’ve grown to know everything when it comes to the industry, from owning a mortgage company, processing loans, mortgage underwriting rules, to now managing. Why I’m in the Mortgage Business: My family has a history of Banking and real estate . I could see at an early age how satisfying the real estate profession was for them, so I started off as a Real Estate agent and quickly realized that the mortgage side was my passion. I am a mother of 4 very active kids that have been/ are being raised in the Real Estate /mortgage world. I have always said that their first baby blanket was a file folder. I love to be able to teach that going the extra mile for others is such a blessing to us as well as the other person. Most importantly that no matter what the obstacle is that we must work hard and give it our all in all that we do. Our family lives at a field or a gym for most of the year. Between baseball, cheer, volleyball, football and anything they can possibly sing up for, I have developed little-known disease called Bleacher Butt. When I am not working ( or should I say.. not behind my desk) or attending an event for one of the kids . I really enjoy bible studies , reading and listening to podcast. My children go to 2 different schools and I am so blessed to be part of two Mom’s in Prayer groups. It is a National Organization that Moms can get together to pray for our children and our school. As the Southern Mortgage Mom, I help homebuyers and Real Estate Agents make the Mortgage buying process as stress free as possible. I have been called the miracle worker by clients and agents( on occasion) because I have saved some mortgage loans that others have denied . It has nothing to do with miracles , but all to do with knowing how to get a loan approved. If I am lucky enough that you chose me or my team as your go to lender, I promise that I will be fair, I will be honest and you will feel like family when you sign the final papers and I will keep in touch (till you tell me not to) long after the mortgage loan is closed. Looking forward to working with you when it comes time to buy a home or refinance your current mortgage.
