"Rachel was absolutely incredible to work with. She worked tirelessly to help us find our dream home, answering our questions at all hours of the day and night. House hunting can get stressful, but it was always enjoyable to view homes with Rachel and I now feel some withdrawal from not talking with her daily. She has been so great even after our close, providing recommendations for roofers and contractors. I am sure we will work with Rachel again one day if she'll have us, and I would recommend her to any friend." - Sasha

"Rachel was born to work in real estate. She has an uncanny knack for pairing her client with the house of their dreams. I recently worked with Rachel to buy a house in Bernal Heights. I didn't even know that was my dream neighborhood until Rachel urged me to look at a house that had recently gone on the market. I was blown away by this gem and how fast she was able to secure a viewing for me. Immediately upon arriving at the property I knew this was the home for me and that with Rachel's help I would live in it. Her professionalism throughout the process differentiates her from the crowded Realtor® market. Rachel is genuine, smart as hell, and super fast to respond to any questions that inevitably arise throughout the process of buying a home. I would never work with anyone else. Not only is Rachel a consummate professional, but she has an amazing eye for design and is incredibly well experienced in rebuilding, restructuring, and remodeling properties. She is an invaluable resource from the beginning to the end of the process. Rachel genuinely cares about her clients and is a superb advisor on any topic related to buying a home. She went above and beyond for me with my mortgage broker and ensured a fast, painless 30 day close. In the three homes I have owned I have never closed at the exact date and time promised at the beginning of the process. Don't go with any other Realtor® in the Bay Area. You'd be missing out on the perfect home that you might never have known existed if it weren't for Rachel." - Jill

"Rachel is a class act and a real go-getter! She is one of the few agents I've met who truly understands both the business and personal sides of each transaction and uses that knowledge to gain an advantage in the marketplace. Her ability to assess the intricacies of trends and willingness to think outside the box make her an obvious choice for buyers and sellers at all price levels. She also has intimate experience in the world of development and has a keen eye for what is both possible and realistic. Rachel is one of the only people I can fully trust in the business world and would recommend her to anyone!"

Born and raised on the border of Sheboygan and Kohler, Wisconsin, Rachel moved to California to study wine at UC Berkeley and The Master Court of Sommeliers.
