About Rachael Smith

Hi, I'm Rachael Smith - Your Trusted Partner in Real Estate! I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, in a family rooted in kindness, respect, and honesty. My faith is the foundation of my life--guiding me to serve others with gratitude and heart. Real estate became my calling because it lets me walk alongside people during one of life's biggest transitions--helping them find the right home or investment with care, strategy, and integrity. With over 10 years of experience as a top-producing agent in Big Bear and a degree in Management and Marketing, I bring deep market insight and a results-driven approach to every transaction. I've closed hundreds of homes across Big Bear and beyond, and as of mid-2025, I've taken 51 listings, closed 25 deals, and booked 125 client appointments--all in a slower market. I'm proud to have earned over 300 five-star reviews, a testament to the service, trust, and results I bring my clients. I also own and manage two Airbnb properties as a Superhost, which gives me a unique edge when helping clients buy or sell short-term rental homes with confidence. Outside of work, I'm a wife, mom, and adventurer. My three daughters--Addie, Cali, and Nora--are my greatest joy, and my husband, Andy, is my biggest cheerleader. We co-authored Transformed by Trouble, a Christian journal on Amazon that reflects our passion for faith and growth. Our Frenchie, Meatball, keeps things playful at home. I thrive on challenges--whether it's climbing Mount Whitney, competing in Ironmans, or helping a client get top dollar in a tough market. I'd be honored to help you on your real estate journey. Let's make it smart, smooth, and successful--reach out anytime!

I met Rachael in 2020, she was the listing agent on one of the cabins I was interested in. From the very first time I met her there was an instant connection! I looked at cabins with her for 3-4 months, sometimes 10+ in a day. She was fun, outgoing, always had a positive attitude and a smile on her face though out my long journey of searching for my perfect cabin. Racing from one cabin to the next, I thought I was in the Indi 500 trying to keep up with her....LMAO ROTF. But on the serious side, she was AMAZING! She always made me feel special and at home. She was with me though out my entire process. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!

I cant say enough about Rachael. She is the best real-estate agent that weve ever worked with. We first met Rachael in 2009 when we were looking to by a cabin. Every month Rachael would send me listing and finally in January 2020 we found the perfect cabin for us and we bought it. She is very honest and transparent. She was with us through the whole buying process. She made us feel like we were getting the family treatment. We consider a friend and our fist choice when we have a real estate question. Well definitely go back to her when were ready to upgrade.

Rachael was the BEST realtor, we are so glad we found her!! She helped us secure our dream cabin in the woods and helped us get our offer accepted in a very HOT MARKET. Her team was always available to answer any questions/concerns we may have had. Rachael is a dream to work with and we recommend her all the time to people!

And did I mention top dollar for your sale. This girl will not stop until you get what you want. ??????
