"No one builds homes like this E anymore: 11 Richard Mantel Back to Paying It Back... Although the hrst floor apartment sat vacant for a few months, it wasn't long before Rae and Hertz found the tenants they were looking for all along. Last October, they welcomed 20-somethings Liz and Alex into the hrst floor space. Rae and Hertz knew the young couple because they had been renting Borland's former unit at The Barclay. When Borland moved out, Rae and Hertz purchased the Barclay unit and intend to give it a facelift, much like the Newell home. Once the Barclay renovations are done, Rae and Hertz will seek another tenant to pay it forward. While owning multiple properties anywhere might be overwhelming for some, Rae shakes her head and disagrees. Rae and Hertz's Brighton Road home, the Newell Road multi-family home, and the Barclay condo are just Rae's way of showing she believes in Shaker. "One of Shaker's greatest assets is its housing stock. It's such a unique community," she says. "We look at it as an investment in the community and an investment in one of the things that makes the community so special."
