Rachel Leber

I'm a full-time Real Estate Broker and REALTOR® serving the Triangle, North Carolina area - Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Raleigh, and the surrounding areas.

Your home is one of your most important assets and serves as the base for your daily life. I'd like to be your trusted advisor helping you navigate through the sometimes complex process of buying or selling your home. I’ll take the time to fully understand your needs and work diligently and efficiently to accomplish your objectives. I'm committed to utilizing the latest technoloy to be a responsive and knowledgeable resource for you. I want you to be so satisfied working with me that you refer your friends and family. I enjoy working with first-time homebuyers, seasoned buyers/sellers, and investors.

My passion for real estate extends beyond serving as a REALTOR®. I am currently rehabbing a home that needs a lot of TLC. I truly believe that home ownership can transform lives – and that’s why I’m active with Habitat for Humanity.

I’m a member of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Chapel Hill Association of REALTORS®, the North Carolina Association of REALTORS®, and the National Association of REALTORS®.

Community Training:

2007 Graduate of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce's Foundation for a Sustainable Community Leadership Program. Leadership is an 11-week program designed to provide participants with an in-depth look at our community including government, the university, healthcare, crime, and economic development. Participants are also challenged to develop their leadership skills by participating in a full-day ropes course and leadership camp, and by attending various coaching sessions to develop skills. Other tasks required for graduation included riding along with a Chapel Hill Police Officer on patrol for 3 hours, taking public transportation, and attending Town of Chapel Hill public hearings. I was very proud to be part of the 2007 class, which when tasked with raising $500 for a local non-profit, put together a event at the Carolina Inn which featured a performance by DSI Comedy Theater and a silent auction and raised more than $14,400!

2008 Graduate of the Durham Neighborhood College. Jointly sponsored by the City of Durham and the County of Durham, this 10-week program provides interactive sessions facilitated by a variety of department heads and officials with a goal to provide participants with a wealth of information to empower them to play a more active role in their neighborhoods and the community at large.

I absolutely love being a Real Estate Broker. It truly is my passion. I’ve really enjoyed helping clients buy their first home, upgrade to a larger home for their growing family, downsize to a smaller home once their children have left, sell their home to embark on a move OUT of our area, relocate the Triangle, or purchase a vacation home or an investment property. When I’m not working directly with the families I serve, I’m usually surfing the MLS online, touring homes, in training classes, watching real estate TV shows, reading real estate books, working on rehab projects at my "fixer" house, or talking with my friends about the home improvement projects they’re tackling.
