A
boutique real estate brokerage in Kern County, California, has joined the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate network. Platinum Realty Group, led by broker/owner Christy Rabe, will now operate under the nationally recognized brand to expand services and attract agents.

    Rabe, a 20-year veteran of the industry who founded Platinum Realty Group in 2018, said the affiliation will provide her agents with access to professional development resources and help them reach more clients in the local market. "We believe collaboration and support make dreams work," Rabe stated. "The Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brand offers us excellent support."

    Rabe's firm serves a close-knit community where local values are paramount, and she believes the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brand understands this. The affiliation will enhance their service capabilities, professionalism, reputation, and ability to provide learning opportunities for agents.

    Platinum Realty Group works with residential, commercial, and land transactions, including ranch properties and vacation homes. It has built a reputation as a women-led brokerage focused on personalized service. Ginger Wilcox, president of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, said the addition supports the brand's strategy of partnering with locally embedded brokerages.

    "Christy and her agents embody our values: commitment to community, personalized service, and helping clients achieve their dreams," Wilcox stated. The firm plans to utilize the brand's technology and learning platforms to increase agent productivity and client service.
