A lifelong resident of Forest Hills, Queens, Rachel's interest in real estate, passion for New York City, and love of interacting with people were the driving forces behind her decision to become a real estate professional. Her prior work experience in marketing and promotions, and as a title closer for over 10 years, proved to lay an invaluable foundation for this extremely rewarding career. Rachel is extremely personable, outgoing, and creative; yet she's also very detailed thanks to her seasoned background which gave her special insight into the real estate process. She has an intimate knowledge of a real estate transaction from the initial listing of a property to the closing of title, and can seamlessly assist clients in navigating all aspects of their entire purchase or sale. Determined to be the best, Rachel joined the best and is thrilled to be a part of Douglas Elliman's Bayside office - where she proudly lends her unique combination of expertise and enthusiasm to the award-winning Gutermuth-Copersino Team. As first-time home-sellers, we found the process daunting, with what seemed to be insurmountable obstacles along the way. She is a knowledgeable professional with a host of resources, including the fact that she works with an incredibly talented team. She tirelessly marketed and showed our home to a flurry of prospective buyers, bringing us a number of offers and objectively presenting the pros and cons of each one. Her responsiveness and communication are extraordinary, which helped to keep us calm during a time of uncertainty in our lives."
As a result of this outstanding experience and our complete confidence in Rachel, we chose to have her represent us rather than going it alone as we downsize to a cooperative apartment. We were narrowly focused in one direction, and she followed our wishes as we went to see a number of properties. However, she opened our eyes to other possibilities, and we are excited to be making progress toward the purchase of the perfect apartment. "I can't say enough positive things about Rachel Borut. It is so refreshing to work with someone and feel they have your best interest at heart. Rachel was always professional, and responsive and thanks to her we were able to get into the house we wanted at a price we could afford. Thank you, Rachel!"
