How did you get your start in real estate?

I began my Real Estate journey over 25 years ago in property management, then on to becoming an investor buying and selling, Acquiring rental properties, literally all hands on. Received my Real Estate License 7 years ago to serve the retail market. These milestones have taught me the tools I need to serve the client.

What would you say to millennials who consider this an “easy” profession to get into?

My advise to millennial’s who look at this profession as “easy” would be “don’t get into real estate”. It requires a great deal of discipline, integrity, patience, and understanding the law. Assisting a client on the purchase of a new home is one of the most important decisions they will make in their lives. A good agent, listens, learns, and targets the goal of the client using the tools and experience we train for everyday. Your job is to educate, navigate, and protect your client through closing.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

I have several favorite things about my job, but my most favorite is the journey I take with my clients. As the saying goes “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey”. Changing lives, seeing the joy at closing, the relief of good decisions made, and the empowerment of knowledge felt by the client are the most rewarding. Every single deal is unique in it’s own way! No two are alike.

What are 3 words to describe yourself.

Integrity, Disciplined, Achiever.

How did you get your start in real estate?  I’ve had a passion for homes, property, and design aspects long before I knew it could be a career option. A chance meeting & short conversation with a fellow agent peaked my interest into researching just what steps it would take to become a licensed Louisiana Real Estate Agent. And as they say ” the rest is history”, I’ve been completely in love with every aspect of this career path!

What would you say to millennials who consider this an “easy” profession to get into? I would tell anyone who considers being a Realtor as an “Easy” profession to do your homework! There are so many aspects that go into making this career successful. Knowledge is key in this business! You have to be prepared for the schooling, needed connections in order to make this a successful career, stepping out of your comfort zone, picking the right company to work under, having experienced agents in your corner to help mentor you, and truly having your clients best interest at heart. There are so many moving parts to learn in this business, but it is so rewarding and worth the effort!

What is your favorite thing about your job?
My favorite part of being a Realtor is by far my clients! I have met so many different people, from all walks of life.

It is so rewarding knowing that you are helping make what can be a super stressful time in someone’s life that much easier and enjoyable.

Lets get to know a little more about Rachel Hebert:

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!
