From a family of creative visionaries and influential real estate developers, Rachel is a third generation industry leader specializing in residential and multi-unit real estate sales in San Francisco and the East Bay.

Born and raised in the East Bay, Rachel began her career in New York City as an award winning product designer before launching her own successful lifestyle brand. After returning to the West Coast, Rachel would discover her true passion was to combine her love of real estate with her affinity for design and branding.

While spending time evaluating the ever-evolving state of the Bay Area residential market, Rachel recognized the importance of branding, staging, and innovative marketing in obtaining the highest value for her client’s properties.

Leveraging her marketing expertise and design background with her natural talent for matching clients with their dream homes, Rachel’s strong work ethic and keen negotiating skills have earned her the loyalty of a distinguished clientele. Her ability to source off market listings through her exclusive network allows her client’s unrivaled access.

Rachel takes great pride in going the extra mile and is relentless in her pursuit of achieving her client’s real estate goals. When she’s not buying or selling on behalf of her clients, Rachel enjoys spending time with her family, studying her passion for interior design, and relaxing with a good book. She volunteers at Shelters Inc., a Bay Area non-profit that provides housing and resources for low-income, homeless, and disadvantaged families and individuals.

What My Clients Say

Rachel made my home-buying experience incredibly easy. I had a very specific budget and a long list of expectations to fill. Rachel was professional and extremely knowledgeable about the market as she informed me of every opening that popped up in my range. She gave great advice on where she thought the market would land on each property we were interested in and had inside connections with almost every Realtor® we wanted to put a bid in with. I would highly recommend Rachel and will work with her again in the future!

What My Clients Say

From start to finish (and even after closing), I have deeply appreciated how attentive Rachel has been to my individual needs as a first-time buyer. Right off the bat, I could tell that she was quickly getting a sense of my style and being observant of my must-haves. Her consideration of my likes and dislikes throughout our condo hunt helped us both form a picture of the perfect place. When we found my condo, she was able to gently guide me through the challenging parts and put me in contact with other very helpful people. There was no question or concern that was too silly or small and she always responded promptly. Her negotiating skills were very sharp and creative – I ended up unexpectedly getting a great deal. Even after I have moved in, she is still currently following up with me to make sure that I am settling in comfortably. I know that I will be able to call on her for interior design advice as well; she has such a great eye. Thank you Rachel for holding my hand throughout this process. As you guys said at our first meeting, “this is going to be fun” and it definitely was.

What My Clients Say

Rachel assisted us with the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home in Alamo, California. Both transactions were virtually seamless, and, from our perspective, effortless. For the purchase, Rachel did an incredible job of helping us design our offer and then provided ample support during the negotiating period. Her help in this area paid off, as our offer was accepted above other offers in a competitive market. Rachel remained closely involved during the entire purchase process and was available at all times to answer our questions and communicate with the sellers. We were thrilled that the transaction from start to finish was completed within one month! For the sale of our old home Rachel arranged for a beautiful staging which resulted in a prompt sale that maximized our sales price. Her recommendations in every area were spot on, and her help in executing the preparations for the sale was invaluable. At all times we felt like Rachel had a handle on every detail.

What My Clients Say

When we were looking for a real estate agent, there were four factors we were looking for. someone who 1) knew the market and could help us price our house well 2) we could trust to do what was in our best interest 3) is skilled at negotiating – never playing too aggressively but knowing how to push just hard enough to keep buyer’s engagement and 4) knows the channels to get our property greatest visibility. Rachel met all of our expectations. she worked her magic to get our property top billing, in which we got multiple offers above asking, and went into escrow within 9 days. Thank you Rachel for making our first-time buying experience a great one.

Rachel was fantastic to work with! She took great pride in seeing us through every detail, answering questions, and responding and following through on communications throughout the process. She was also very personable and made our apartment purchase a fun experience. We also interviewed four agents before choosing her. Her professionalism and work ethic made her stand out far above the rest. I would recommend her to anyone!
