Rachel Shapiro

was born in Ypres, Belgium on March 26th, 1958 and I speak and write English, Dutch, Flemish, French, German and Spanish. My only sister (twin) and I finished high school in Ypres and studied marketing/economics in Antwerp at the St. Eligius Institute and export marketing at the College of Higher Education in High Wycombe in England. Living in Venezuela for 7 years, I learned to be fluent in Spanish and started my career in the hotel business. I worked for about 13 years for Inter-Continental Hotels in the position of Guest Relations Director and was transferred to work at the Hotel Inter-Continental Frankfurt in 1989. I lived in Germany for 10 years and came to the United States of America in 1999. I changed my career to become the manager of luxury retailers, first of the flagship store for Montblanc and then for David Yurman on Madison Avenue in New York. I started my real estate career in New York and got my brokers license for the State of Florida in May 2012. Since then, I have influenced family and friends to buy properties in Florida and every body has enjoyed it every since. In the years of my career experience, I have met most interesting persons and working with people is my joy and my strength. I find it important to go out of my way to provide excellent service with attention to detail making your expectations my challenge.
