After showing us homes in New Canaan, Darien, Westport and Southport, we ultimately purchased a home in Southport. Throughout the entire process Rachel was extremely professional, responsive, patient, and provided us with excellent representation and guidance. After the closing, Rachel continued to help us in countless ways to become familiar with our new community and feel welcome. Rachel goes above and beyond for her clients!" - Jim and Catherine

We have remained close since our purchase 2 years ago. We have moved several times before moving to CT and Rachel was by far the BEST Realtor we have ever used."

"Rachel helped us purchase our home in New Canaan. She is highly knowledgeable and experienced in the local market. She is also very dedicated and lovely to work with overall. We were very impressed, for example, with her diligence in navigating our home inspection report. Her expectations were equivalent or perhaps even higher than ours in terms of what we needed the sellers to address, and she followed up on all items very carefully. Since moving into our home, Rachel has continued to be a great resource in terms of recommending contractors and keeping us in the loop regarding town events. She's incredibly hard working, smart and caring - a wonderful combination!"


About Rachel
Rachel knows that there are a lot of luxury real estate agents to choose from, but she also knows what makes her stand out from the rest. Rachel’s entire working life led her to become a consistent top-producing Realtor in New Canaan, Darien, Greenwich, Westport, Southport, and Rowayton, CT, for the last 28 years. This has led her to become one of the Wall Street Journal's Top RealTrends agents, chosen from over 3 million residential real estate agents in America based on sales and dollar volume. Rachel consistently ranks in the top 1% of agents nationwide through hard work, her valuable relationships with her clients, and her ability to be flexible in attaining and providing the best possible service for her clients.

When looking for an agent, the essential qualities should include experience, trust, communication, transparency, creativity, analytical thinking, hyper-local knowledge, listening and learning, and the desire to serve and protect their client. An agent must understand the town, the historical home values, the quality of a home, the location, schools, and the knowledge of what will appreciate over time. This knowledge comes from years of experience and being able to navigate through all the curveballs real estate can throw your way.

For buyers, Rachel knows knowledge is power and educates her clients on the overall market, market trends, a comparative view of each town and each home, the school systems, the town's amenities, town culture, sports, and so much more.
