Being a part of the team at the Old Ivy sales office has been a wonderful experience in every way! Rachel's leadership and coaching have been invaluable to me as a newer agent. She is easily accessible, and always has an answer for my questions, even if it's "I don't know, let me find out," on which she always follows through. She has strategically connected me with the "resident experts" in the office, regarding matters that I find confusing, or with which I have no experience. I am so glad Rachel is part of my team! She exemplifies Long and Foster's keys to excellence toward the agents she serves (Accessible, caring, listening, responsive and can-do attitude). I feel like i have the very best in my corner and a greater hope of a successful career in real estate by being connected to her and the amazing agents in the Old Ivy office.
Rachel Foster is a wonderful broker. Rachel is kind, caring, knowledgable and available for her agents. She is my mentor and friend. I am a much better REALTOR because Rachel Foster is my broker.
Rachel is by far the best Managing Broker I have ever had and I have had some good ones over the past 30 odd years. She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, attentive and a great problem solver. Often she will have the answer to my question before I walk back to my office ( which is only 2 doors away)! She is constantly teaching us new skills, apps, programs... and is superb at helping us stay current with ever changing forms, trends and real estate topics. She creates a wonderful work environment. I feel very blessed to have her as my broker and my friend.
Rachel is by far the best managing broker I have had since becoming a REALTOR®. She brings a diverse background to the table which enables her to convey not only the classic concepts of real estate selling and customer care, but an intellectual view that makes all subjects more interesting. She treats everyone in her office with the same amount of respect and civility creating a congenial, positive work environment. When training or mentoring, she is always both empathetic and logical in her approach to the individual. She will work with you to lay out a path for success that makes sense and then it is up to you take advantage of it. Rachel talks with you vs. at you, making it easy to be open and candid with her. She is far more than the average "Managing Broker" It is my great pleasure to have met and work with her.
Having been a Realtor for 28 years, I have had the opportunity to work with many talented Brokers. Rachel Foster is hands down the most knowledgeable Broker that I have had the opportunity to work with. Rachel is available to her agents when they need her advice and guidance. With Rachel at the helm, Long & Foster, Old Ivy provides a work environment designed to help agents grow and provide superior service to their Clients. Long & Foster has been the right choice for me and has significantly increased my earning potential.
Rarely do you find a Real Estate Broker that puts so much personal energy into taking care of her agents! Even when Rachel is on vacation or away from the office, she always seems to find a way to ensure that her agents get the assistance they need with their real estate questions and transactions.
Rachel’s teaching background is also very instrumental in keeping our agents educated and up to date with the latest real estate tools and trends to support their success! She is quick to assist with technology questions and will go the extra mile to see that everyone’s needs are met! Her leadership has created a well-rounded office with a family atmosphere, many opportunities to volunteer together for worthy causes and attend social events… essentially, keeping us a “close knit team.”
I am sure my real estate associates share the same sentiments when I say “We are grateful to have Rachel as our Broker.”
Rachel is the consummate teacher. She is always more than willing to teach and reteach the many Long and Foster tools available to us. For those of us whose ability to navigate the newest technology is challenged, Rachel is patient and has a great sense of humor.
I admire her willingness to lead the outreach to various community charities. She leads by example.
We are indeed fortunate to have Rachel as our office manager. Bravo Rachel!!
I have been working with Rachel for over 2 years now. She is a true professional who cares deeply about each of her agents. Rachel is always there with a smile and an answer to any of my questions. I feel lucky to have her as my broker.
Rachel Foster is one of the best managing brokers I know because she is fair and ethical and her door is always open. She values the education of her agents and supports them by being their biggest champion. Our values of honesty, commitment and integrity are succinctly aligned and it is my pleasure to work with her every day. We are blessed to have such amazing leadership at our helm!
Rachel is a terrific managing broker. She has been a great mentor of mine and is very generous with her time. She is always available whenever I have a question. Her support and coaching enabled me to quickly jump-start my path as a realtor. I would highly recommend Rachel.
