Choosing a REALTOR® isn't just about finding someone with a real estate license—it's about finding someone whose experience, expertise, and personality align with your goals.
That's why we're launching our new Get to Know Our Agents series at NextHome Realty Solutions BCS. Each week, we'll introduce you to one of the local real estate professionals who help buyers and sellers throughout Bryan, College Station, and the Brazos Valley.
This week, we're spotlighting Carol Rakowitz, a REALTOR® with more than 22 years of real estate experience and a passion for helping clients navigate everything from residential properties to land and country homes.
Carol specializes in:
For buyers dreaming of more space, a rural lifestyle, or acreage outside city limits, Carol's experience can be invaluable. Country property transactions often involve considerations that traditional residential purchases don't, including wells, septic systems, agricultural exemptions, easements, and land use restrictions.
Ask Carol what she enjoys most outside of real estate and she'll tell you it's spending time with family and friends, cooking, baking, gardening, and traveling.
It's no surprise that she loves helping clients find homes where they can build memories and create the lifestyle they've always wanted.
If you were visiting the area for the first time, Carol would start by taking you to the parking garage near Star Cinema for a panoramic view of Bryan and College Station.
From there, she'd highlight:
When it comes to restaurants, Carol recommends Wings 'N More, a longtime local favorite.
Of course, one of the benefits of working with a local REALTOR® is getting insider recommendations tailored to your tastes—from restaurants and coffee shops to neighborhoods and community events.
When asked to share something most people don't know about her, Carol laughed and said:
"I'm mostly bionic, something like a superhero—Carol the Great."
That sense of humor and positive attitude are just a few of the reasons clients enjoy working with her.
