JACKSON â Rachael Brown, a long-time valley resident, has joined Badger Realtyâs Jackson office.
âWe are so pleased that Rachael has joined our sales team as an agent,â said Badger Managing Partner Brenda Leavitt. âSheâs well-known in the community as a business owner, an active community volunteer, and as a writer for The Conway Daily Sun and other publications â and we know her as a former client who purchased her home through us.â
Brown commented, âIâve lived in the Valley since 1995 when my late husband and I moved here from Boston. For many years, I was a licensed car dealer and had Hertz and Penske rentals at the Glen Warehouse, which I managed. When I decided I wanted a change, real estate seemed a natural choice â and Iâm thrilled to be working at the Jackson office with my good friend, Kathleen Sullivan Head, who sold me my house in Glen.â
