About Neil
Hello, my name is Neil Rakes. Born and raised here in Southern West Virginia, I’ve spent my entire life calling this beautiful region home. With deep roots in the local community, and a passion for helping people, I’ve built my real estate business on three core values: honesty, integrity, and efficiency.
These values aren’t just words. I live them out in every single transaction. I believe in being upfront, transparent, and dependable, ensuring that my clients always feel informed and supported. I also value your time and strive to make every step of the buying or selling process as smooth, straightforward, and seamless as possible.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Management from Southern West Virginia’s own Concord University. This education has equipped me with a strong foundation in strategic thinking, negotiation, and customer service. Skills I use every day to help my clients navigate the real estate market with confidence and clarity.
As a full-time, full-service REALTOR®, I proudly serve my local communities throughout Raleigh, Mercer, Summers, Fayette, Nicholas, Greenbrier, and surrounding counties, bringing local knowledge, personalized service, and a results-driven approach to every transaction. To me, West Virginia is not just where I am from and work, but its people, culture, and scenery make it the greatest place on earth to call home. I’m blessed to be able to help people like YOU call it home too!
