Rachel Moody-Livingston

One of the most important qualities I have to offer you is dedication. Being dedicated means many things! I listen to my clients wants & needs to be sure that we have the same goals. I do what I say I'm going to do. I understand that some situations can be overwhelming & I strive to make your home purchase or sale as quick & easy as possible. My experience allows me to guide you through negotiations & contract terms seemingly effortless. I always take the time to be sure you understand what's going on & what happens next. All of these things & more equal the dedication I give to each & every one of my clients. I love assisting in the sale & purchase of properties. I love counseling my clients & seeing "The Light" go on when they get it. I love seeing "The Look" on a clients face when they walk through the door of their new home for the very 1st time. These are my rewards. Knowing that selling or buying a home is a major event in your life, as one of the largest single investment you may make, my goal is to make this experience a seamless one. Unparalleled knowledge supported by personalized attention to every detail while respecting the confidentially of you - the client. Using the latest technologies to benefit you, however, in real estate, the best agent has to always remain a good listener, responsive and sensitive to your needs. I work under the principle that preserving my relationship with you is more important than the individual transaction. Therefore, my clients return over and over again, providing excellent recommendations that enable 'word of mouth' to be my highest and best source of continued business. Known for a high standard of service in every price range and to every client. MY SPECIALTIES INCLUDE: *RELOCATION I am Highly Experienced working with out-of-state, out-of-town, and relocation companies. Since 2005, I have helped hundreds of buyers with their home purchases. A high percentage of these buyers made a long distance purchase requiring assistance from start to finish. I know out-of-state buyers require a bit more information about the area and housing markets. They also need someone who can give them 100% honest and accurate information as well as guide them through the home purchase process here in Northeast TN and the surrounding areas. I work extremely hard to meet these high expectations in order to give my clients the best overall experience with the least amount of stress. *FORECLOSURES, SHORT-SALES, & INVESTMENT PROPERTIES Foreclosures allow buyers/investors to buy at a reduced cost, although there is usually and investor waiting period on most foreclosure and owner occupants have the ability to make offers on most of these properties before the biding opens for investors offers. *FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS First Time Buyers are a blast to work with! They are so excited to be buying their first home. I love being able to really make a difference in their lives and I love their energy and excitement! I can help from getting a pre-approval and deciding on the best lender that offers the best loan options. Many lenders have special offers for first time home buyers. I will hold your hand and walk you through the entire process so that you understand and feel confident and comfortable in the decisions you are making. Which is better for you? With a Team, you supposedly get the services of several individuals, each a "specialist" in their given area. The truth of the matter is, the "Realtor leader" of the team is always on the hunt for the next transaction - they've got all of that overhead to pay and you're just a "number" to get that done. Once you commit to them, they will hand you off to various licensed or non-licensed assistants so they can hurry out to find the next transaction. Who knows?? Your assigned "expert" may have been making french fries at Wendy's sixty days ago - and now they're handling YOUR real estate transaction! WOW!! I work as an individual Realtor. When you work with me, your EVERY problem, need, or question will be addressed with one phone call or email and you will not have to track down 3 different people or the agent that showed you houses that day. If you have a problem or a concern, YOU WILL SPEAK TO ME - you won't be shuffled off to an "assistant." Everyone is different - I feel my way of providing service is better. I can't service as many transactions in a year as a Team can, BUT THAT IS NOT MY GOAL. I provide GREAT and very thorough service to my clients. I believe that you deserve service from the top, not from somewhere down the line.
