Confessions of A Realtor ®
Welcome to Confessions of a Realtor! I'm Rachel Alexander, a licensed Realtor ® with Keller Williams Town and Country in Tallahassee, Florida and ranked the top 7% of local agents. As an active, full-time Realtor serving Tallahassee and the surrounding area since 2014, it was time to use my experience to educate consumers on the why’s and how’s behind the homebuying and home selling processes. We’ll have some fun, I’ll share some crazy real estate stories and keep you informed on realtor’s best kept secrets. Why? Because when you’re informed, you can make empowered decisions.
