Read What My Customers Say. . .

Rachel helped us sell our home and purchase a new townhome. She knew the market, listened to our needs and concerns, and developed and executed a marketing plan that allowed for a successful sale at a good price and timeframe. When we purchased our new townhome, Rachel quickly negotiated the contract and arranged for a simultaneous closing for both properties. Rachel went the extra mile to make a potentially stressful situation as smooth as possible.
Jim & Kim D
This was a very difficult time for me and my wife. Everything that could have gone wrong during the process did go wrong. However, Rachel managed the issues with a steady hand, competently, poised, and with a smile on her face. Without Rachel, we would not have been able to purchase our new home. We could not be more pleased with her work, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who seeks a highly qualified real estate agent.
Dr. Ralph G. Perrino
I have utilized Rachel's services multiple times with exceptional results in every instance. In addition to traditional buyer and seller representative engagements, I also utilize Rachel on an on-going basis for real estate market knowledge and due diligence. She has established herself as an expert in real estate matters.
Patrick M
Rachel knows what it takes to sell property and understands her clients so well she can quickly find them just what they are looking for. Rachel also is very tech savvy and studies current trends in real estate and marketing and can then provide a higher level of service to both buyers and sellers. I would recommend Rachel for any of your real estate needs. You won't be disappointed.
