My normal day includes a lot of things that would get some serious side eye in any other career. 😂

Getting in cars with strangers. A camera roll full of water heaters. Looking under sinks of homes I don’t live in. Slowlyyy walking around a random house looking for dirt lines and/or cracks. Asking people’s financial histories before we’ve even met in person.

Talking to a lot of strangers all day every day. Building trust quicker than you’d imagine, maintaining relationships, and knowing who in my contacts list is the best at what.

Because being good at this job is a mix of knowing exactly what to look for, what questions to ask, what needs a little more digging.. and what to actually do with the information once you have it.

Some days that means negotiating a contract. Other days it means investigating an outlet that doesn’t exist or knowing that the plumbing for a certain decade of house on a slab foundation = very bad.

I’m Rachel Best, your Wilmington local + real estate advisor. Let me do the crazy digging and question-asking… you just tell me which house you want.

Good negotiation isn’t about making the most noise.

It’s about knowing what information to gather, what questions to ask, what leverage you have… and knowing exactly when to reveal that leverage.

While keeping the conversation with the builder’s side light, I was quietly working with the Town of Leland’s permitting and inspections departments to verify permits, approved plans, and how that space had actually been permitted.

By the time I formally addressed the issue, I already knew where we stood - and exactly what leverage we had.

My clients may get to feel some TEMPORARY frustration. My job, however, is to stay calculated, think ahead, and turn the facts into a strategy that gets results.

You don’t need a vacation from your career when you love your career. That’s why my trips do NOT pause my work. I love what I do and the people I work with.

One of the things I’m most proud of in my business is knowing that I can serve my clients at a high level, no matter where I am.

I’ve negotiated offers, managed transactions, solved problems, and closed deals from outside of the country more than once.

…And I’m confident saying that my past clients, other agents I’ve worked across the table from, and my team can attest to the level of communication and service I provide whether I’m sitting at my desk in Wilmington or halfway across the world.

That does not happen by accident.

I’ve built systems, workflows, and a strong INTENTIONAL team around me so that my clients never have to wonder whether something is being handled. Business keeps moving. Calls get answered. Deadlines get met. Negotiations happen when they need to happen. (basically, no one would even know I’d left the country if I’d stop posting pics about it lol)

✨ And I genuinely believe having a life outside of sales makes you better at sales. ✨

Traveling, having hobbies, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and simply having interests outside of work gives you perspective. It teaches you how to connect with people from all walks of life.

At the end of the day, real estate is a people business. So I never want my entire personality to be “I sell houses.”

I want to see the world, have good stories to tell, meet interesting people, and build a really great life.. all while running a business my people can confidently rely on from anywhere.

And I’m building one that lets me do exactly that.

I want you to buy a HOME.

A place where you raise your kids, know your neighbors, host cookouts in the backyard, and slowly create a life that feels even bigger and better than the one you pictured when we first started looking.

Because one of my greatest accomplishments as a Realtor isn’t getting you to the closing table… It’s hearing from you months or years later.

I want to hear that your neighbor became one of your best friends. That Friday nights somehow turned into neighborhood cookouts. That your kids have friends three houses down. That you found your favorite coffee shop around the corner. That the backyard we talked about during the showing has become the place everyone gathers.

I want to hear about how your life expanded because of a decision I had the privilege of helping you make.

Buying a home is so much bigger than bedrooms, bathrooms, interest rates, and square footage. It’s choosing the backdrop for a whole chapter of your life.

I’m your Wilmington Realtor, and I’m always going to guide you toward the decision that makes the most sense for you, your family, and the life you’re trying to build.

Real estate expertise isn’t just knowing how to write an offer.

It’s knowing when to push the edge, when to pull back and protect, who to call, when to call, what to ask, what to save, and when to walk.

Like I always say - opening doors is the very least of what I do.
If you need a Wilmington agent that’s going to get the job done (and done correctly), I’m the one for you. 🙋🏻‍♀️
