Her Wisdom
Keeping active in women’s volleyball in the winter and co-ed beach volleyball in the summer makes Rachel Major, ABR, AHWD, 28, physically and mentally ready for anything real estate throws at her. She connects with potential clients through a series on WOTV 4, a local channel, where she shares real estate tips with viewers. “I prefer this approach over commercials,” she says. In her free time, Major refurbishes furniture. She also makes signs and flower boxes to sell and use. She’s a budding gardener, but concedes she kills “almost everything but tomatoes.” In December, she won the Young Professional of the Year award from the Greater Regional Alliance of REALTORS® for mentoring new agents, volunteering on committees, and offering exemplary client service. “I was humbly surprised. I do know I am committed to excellence in all I do—well, except maybe gardening.”
