🎂 A Special Birthday Treat (and a Candy Corn Toast!)

Today we’re celebrating something extra special — the birthday of our owner, Rachael Weissenburger! 🍬🎃

Rachael’s approach is simple but powerful: listen first, understand each client’s unique needs, and create homes and spaces that reflect their lives — whether it’s a brand‑new build, thoughtful remodel, or finding the perfect property.

We’re raising a toast (and a handful of candy‑corn pumpkins — her favorite Halloween treat) to another year of creativity, craftsmanship, and community. Her dedication continues to guide everything we do at Rosewood Homes & Real Estate — because for us, it’s never just about building homes, it’s about creating spaces that reflect the people who live in them.
