Awards

Recognized Excellence

Rachel’s commitment to her clients and love for real estate have led to meaningful recognition within the industry. She was named Rookie Agent of the Year in 2019, and most recently earned a place among the Top 500 Realtors in the Richmond Metro Area for 2024, ranking in the top 7% out of nearly 7,000 agents. This honor is based on MLS data—but it doesn’t tell the whole story.

In addition to her on-market success, Rachel frequently works with clients through off-market and private exclusive transactions to meet their specific goals with discretion and flexibility. These sales are not always reflected in traditional metrics, but they are a vital part of the high-touch, client-first service that defines Rachel’s approach. She’s grateful to every client who has trusted her along the way—this recognition is a shared achievement.

About Rachel

Raised in the Richmond area, Rachel Nance brings a deep love for her community and a client-centered, results-driven approach to real estate. Over the past 7 years, she has helped more than 150 clients buy and sell homes across Central Virginia—including resale, new construction, investment properties, and downsizing moves. Whether guiding a newly engaged couple into their first home or helping a family navigate a sale after the loss of a loved one, Rachel listens deeply and builds thoughtful, strategic plans tailored to each client’s unique needs. Her background in education shines through in her ability to simplify complex processes, communicate clearly, and advocate fiercely on her clients’ behalf. As a former sales manager, she brings sharp negotiation skills and deep market insight, all delivered with humility, humor, and heart. In fact, she was recently voted Funniest Agent in Compass RVA 2025—a title she wears proudly (and with a wink). Backed by the powerhouse team at The Collection at Compass and the national support of Compass, Rachel offers trusted resources, deep local connections, and a steady hand through every real estate transition. When she’s not working, you’ll find her singing, socializing, laughing, and indulging in her love of chocolate. She’s married to her college sweetheart in a classic Longwood University/Hampden-Sydney College love story and is the proud mom of two grown sons.
