View All ListingsRachel helped me purchase my first home a few years ago. As a first time home buyer I had no idea what I was getting myself into. She was super patient with me and allowed me to see things and get excited about certain homes and then reign me back into real life. She was right in every way possible. 5 years later almost to the dot. My husband and I were thinking about selling that home and purchasing a new home. We asked Rachel to come out and give us an idea on what to list for and the next week we were on the market! As my dad always told me aEURoelisten to Rachel, she knows what shes doingaEUR?. I wouldnt use another agent ever again. That weekend we not only sold our home but purchased a home! Everything worked out and with Rachels expertise of the market we didnt have to move twice !!!
Was the best she's very understanding very helpful our house had some trouble and she figured it out and got us through the whole nine yards I would request her for anybody that was interested and buying or selling a house
Rachel is the most knowledgeable, patient and responsive agent I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her in depth understanding of the communities she represents is unmatched. Ana as someone who would prefer to text than literally any other form of communication, she patiently responded to far too many questions and requests without ever losing her mind and fun demeanor. Hire Rachel.
Rachel is fantastic! We had a tall order to fill for the perfect home and Rachel was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable of the area, has a wide range of connections and relationships that have helped us even since we have moved in, and was all around wonderful to work with. I have worked with a number of agents over the years and Rachel is by far the one that stands out the most. Thank you Rachel for helping us find our new home! We love it!
Rachel was the best realtor we have ever had. She was very prompt and responsive, providing expert advice as we decided on a home when we moved back to MD. The thing that set her apart from our previous agents was her follow up phone calls and emails to ensure everything was progressing as it should be and running interference for us when needed. Highly recommend.
Rachel is the best agent in the area! I listed my home twice, first time with a different agent, and it wasn't until we worked with Rachel that we got more showings and an amazing offer. She is very knowledgeable, highly responsive and makes you feel like you're the only listing. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home with a true professional.
Rachel was wonderful to work with. She answered all of our numerous first time home buyer questions promptly and at all hours until the day we closed and continues to offer guidance and recommendations. She is honest and trustworthy - a real advocate for her clients.
Great realtor-helpful and nice! She worked with us to purchase a house. She always responded promptly to emails/phone calls and was very informative through the process. Would definitely recommend her!

I would highly recommend Rachel for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her and her assistant were wonderful to deal with and very responsive to any and all questions or issues that arose during the selling of our old home and the buying of our new home. From the professional pictures taken to absolutely zero issues at closing on either property they were first class.
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Rachel. She kept a stressed out, worried seller/buyer (aka me) sane throughout the whole process. Her knowledge and expertise made our home buying/selling experience go as smooth as possible, even with some road bumps completely out of everyones control. Her eye for design was also helpful when it came to a layout for our new home. I would recommend Rachel a hundred times over and will definitely call her for any of our future home purchases.
Rachel Best is literally the best. If you are selling or seeking a home, Rachel will handle your business with professionalism, competency, and courtesy. She sold my home in Edgewater while I was living in California. I relied heavily on Rachel to ensure that things were running smoothly in the empty house while it was on the market. She handled documents, contracts and inspections with aplomb. I am very happy to recommend Rachel Best to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent. Rachel has integrity and your best interest at heart.
Rachel is honest, upfront, very reliable and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I would not think of buying or selling another home without Rachel!

You cant beat Rachel Best, always responds, was knowledgable about alsepects of buying and selling, and knows everybody you need to in the industry. I highly recommend her!
Rachel and her team were awesome to work with!! As a first time homeowner, they helped me get through the process from start to finish holding my hand the whole way through. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable realtor.
As a first time home buyer I was really worried about choosing the correct realtor to help us find the right house. I wanted to pick someone who made me feel comfortable about what we were looking for & with the budget we had. And especially someone who wasn't going to pressure us into something that didn't feel right. In the first conversation & first meeting with Rachel, I knew she was the correct person for this job. She was extremely easy to work with & on top of things from the start. Her assistant Carey is also wonderful & extremely helpful. I would gladly recommend Rachel & Carey to anyone in the market for a new home. We didn't just get a service, we made new friends & we are so appreciative of that!
Rachel is very responsive, knowledgable, and professional. She is a pleasure to work with, listens to any and all concerns and really put me at ease throughout the listing and selling process. She sold my home in just a couple of months at a fair price. I highly recommend Rachel and I will not hesitate to use her as my Realtor again in the future.
I was a first-time homebuyer, and nervous as I am by nature, I wanted to find a realtor to work with who I knew could help me both find and purchase a house for my family and I that we would love, and also help me through every step of the way in order for my nerves to be set at ease. I was blessed to find Rachel. She truly is, as her name states, the BEST!! From start to finish, she was professional, helpful, kind, considerate, and I truly felt as though I had someone in my corner throughout the home buying process. If you are looking to purchase a home, I would truly recommend Rachel. She and her associate, Carey, were helpful, prompt, attentive and professional through every turn. The knowledge of the area, market values, home inspections, mortgage lenders, etc., has got to be unmatched. The greatest.
Rachel has great knowledge of the market and excellent knowledge of housing - from outside structure to interior, she knows the rules and regulations and gives helpful insight and context to each home we've seen with her. She is much more interested in finding you a good match for your family than making a quick commission. We've really enjoyed working with her so far and hope to find our new home soon!
I can't say enough good things about Rachel. Let me begin by stating that our buying experience was not your normal routine affair. It was anything but. My husband and I changed our minds a number of times and one time in particular were pretty far a long in the process. Rachel was a pro. She took the changes and our requests in stride and always had helpful advice on how to make our (dream) retirement come true. We are settled in our new home and couldn't be more happy. Thank you Rachel and thanks also to her fantastic assistant, Carey. They make a great team. They are professional but each have a great sense of humor; a must in this business. I know for a fact that without her, we would have "settled" and not be in our beautiful new home.
I have previously bought a house with Rachel's assistance and this time I had the honor of using her expertise when selling my home. Rachel was very understanding of my situation, which was unique in itself and got my home sold for market value under timeframe constrictions. I hope to do buy or sell with Rachel in the future.
Rachel is extremely knowledgeable in homes. She can see the larger picture, and helps you in seeing yourself in each individual home. She is honest, and will never push you into any home you are not comfortable with. She recently helped me find my first home, and I could not be happier. The process was seamless, and she has great recommendations for title agencies, etc. Overall, this was the best experience I could have had!
Rachel was great with us first time homebuyers in 2013. She was realistic about the houses in our budget and always responsive to questions. We really valued her opinion and expertise during such a long and stressful process. Even now we receive periodic check ins and she still answers our questions and gives us recommendations we know we can count on.
I cannot say enough good things about Rachel. She hung with a pair of newbie first time home buyers for two years while we stumbled our way through the home buying process, until we found our dream home. She was so patient and very responsive, and walked us through every step of the way. Rachel made us feel like we were her only client. We had a contract on a foreclosure for about 16 months and the bank decided to take the property off the market to do repairs. I almost gave up on our home search but Rachel continued to send properties she thought we may like. We ended up finding an even better home in an area we love and I have her to thank. I have recommended her to close family and friends. She is just really good at what she does.
Rachel is very smart and very nice. Her familiarity with the local market helped me get a fair deal in a competitive situation. I can't imagine how the experience could have been better.
Our experience with Rachel was outstanding. This was our second home purchase and the experience was much more positive than the first house. Rachel was extremely thorough, accommodating, punctual and on top of everything; she even helped us understand what our bank was doing when the bank instructions seemed ambiguous. We felt like Rachel really advocated for us and was looking after our best interests. We selected Rachel because of her positive reviews on zillow.com and the fact that she responded to reviews. For the record, we searched for a single family home in the Crofton area and looked at about nine houses before we found the house that we selected.
Rachel is a phenomenal agent. She helped us both sell our old home and purchase our new one. It took us nearly 18 months to find a new home and Rachel was with us every step of the way. We truly appreciated her guidance, candor, and attentiveness all the way through the process. During some pretty stressful times she always kept herself professional and worked towards a solution on every issue. Sometimes I was not the easiest client to deal with and she always found a way to diffuse a situation. I would highly recommend using Rachel as an agent.
Rachel was fantastic. We were a picky family and her patience was amazing! She was immediately responsive and steered us in the right direction at every turn. We ended up finding just the right home, in just the right neighborhood.
As first time home buyers, we were excited and a little nervious to start the buying process. Rachel made everything easy to understand and everything went smoothly. She made it a point to be available for showings and was always available to answer a quick question. Great experience!
Rachel helped us sell a townhouse that was an investment property and our personal residence. She provided us with excellent advice about how to decorate the properties and market them and also gave us great advice on where to set the asking price. Rachel has experience as an interior decorator which really helps when allowing a property to make the best impression. Rachel was also incredibly responsive to our every question throughout the process. We have bought and sold many properties and Rachel is, without question, the best realtor we have ever used.
Rachel was very easy to work with. She kept the channels of communication open. Once an offer was made on the house I chose, she guided me through the process step by step and answered all the questions I had. I would totally recommend her as a realtor.
Rachel was impressive. She was creative in her problem solving and always available. Our house was sold with in two days of the listing. She negotiated all the terms of the sale with our needs in mind. She provided advice on the presentation of the house, sale price, home inspection corrections and closed the sale when we were out of town. We would strongly recommend her as an agent.
Rachel Best was wonderful to work with and we are thankful for her expertise and professionalism. A colleague recommended her and we could not have been happier. We moved from Arlington to Annapolis and needed help in navigating the Annapolis home market and we could not have had a better guide. Rachel was responsive and answered emails and phone calls almost immediately. She thoroughly researched the prices in the area to ensure that we did not overpay and was concerned with our financial well-being, which is something that cannot be said for many in the business. In addition, we got more than a realtor; she brought her interior decorating knowledge to the table as well. We are grateful for Rachel, all her hard work, knowledge, genuineness, and guidance as we went through the process of buying our home in Annapolis. We recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase a home!

My wife and my experience with Rachel was a little unique in the sense that we worked through Rachel on a new home that a builder built for us. Rachel met us and showed us the the available Lot, showed us through sample homes, reviewed what came standard and what was an upgrade, went over the contract and build process, and also informed us about the community and county we would potentially be moving too. We felt comfortable in the process, at home on the Lot, and confident that we were dealing with an expert, so we made the decision to make the jump. After meeting with the builder and selecting a floor plan we really liked, Rachel really helped us make calculated changes to make the floorplan fit our individual needs. She also helped in giving her opinion on where we should upgrade and what upgrades would look best. The thing to really take away from this review is that we worked extensively with Rachel, and I feel we spent a lot of time with her, but I knew she had other families she was supporting yet my wife and I were never left waiting for answers. How impressive is that?!?!?!?! Rachel would answer every question we had, she would call us when we had concerns (sometimes well after business hours), and I really felt that she was apart of our decisions and invested in them. That level of dedication and "customer" support is really hard to find When we had our final walkthrough with the Site Supervisor to see the finished home for the first time my wife and I REALLY wanted Rachel there with us, and even though I know she had a lot going on (even though she wouldnt admit it), she showed up and shared that moment with us. With all that said, I hope to never have to enlist Rachel's services again ...... because I never ever ever want to move again .........but if I need to buy another home? I know exactly who Im calling.
Rachel was extremely flexible and helpful in guiding us through our house buying process. When I was transferred back to Maryland, she provided a listing of houses in the area and worked with my schedule to maximize the best use of my time. We eventually decided on new construction and she was great at collecting and filtering all the contractor's questions to me, and forwarding all the paperwork. She has a pleasant and friendly personality and is very professional. I would definitely recommend her to others.
There are not enough words to describe how amazing it was to have Rachel as our realtor. She was one of the most personable, knowledgeable and professional real estate professionals I have ever interacted with. From the start Rachel was attentive to our wants while at the same time exercising precise expectation management. No matter what the question, she was glad to answer and help us find the right home for us. There was not one moment of hesitation or frustration working with her. By the time we finally purchased our home my wife and I viewed Rachel as a friend and not just our real estate agent. Even after we had closed Rachel helped us finding the right people to work on projects around the house. She has made a lasting impression on our family and we are all very grateful. If you want to ensure you have the most stress free and enjoyable home buying experience you must go with Rachel Best. Her last name says it all, no pun intended!

I was a first-time homebuyer and Rachel walked me through the whole process and made it much easier than I expected. She was always happy to take time to explain things I didn't fully understand, and she responded to calls, emails and texts almost immediately. I would highly recommend her to any potential homebuyer, and especially to a first-time buyer who feels overwhelmed by the process.
Working with Rachel was the best decision we made when it came to finding a home! She was extremely responsive and a wealth of information. She brings expertise about the local area, real-estate and home design--an extremely valuable combination! She is one of the hardest working people I know, responding to emails (and even having phone conversations) until all hours of the night! She got us an amazing house under very difficult and high pressure circumstances, all for a great price! We can't recommend her enough-- if we are ever in the market to buy again, we will certainly turn to Rachel!
Rachel Best is an outstanding real-estate agent. She successfully helped us to list and sell our home in Arnold Maryland. Rachel is very knowledgeable about the local selling market. She gave us some great ideas to "spruce up the place" prior to listing and made the closing process virtually painless. Rachel was very responsive to all our questions and concerns and walked us through the entire selling process with ample explanation and support. We highly recommend Rachel Best! A+++
Rachel truly is the "Best". From beginning to end, she's smart, knowledgeable ,has good investment sense, is always quick to respond and is very thorough. She lives up to her name!!!
Rachel Best handled the sale of our home and purchase of our farm. She is by far the best broker I have ever encountered. She is thorough, professional, available, quick to address every detail and question, is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the market, and comes up with effective solutions to last minute hitches. She helped us keep our sanity through a very complex and protracted purchase. Rachel handles difficult personalities and tough situations with ease. Her design and staging ideas were extremely useful and she sold our house in one day with multiple offers above list price in a tough market. Rachel is a pleasure to work with -- always upbeat but realistic, personable, and SMART. We recommend Rachel highly on any type, size and quality of purchase and sale.
A friend of mine referred Rachel to me when I was ready to sell my condo. Rachel immediately responded to my email for information, and I got the impression that she would go above and beyond to get my property sold. I am glad I chose Rachel as my agent. Rachel is very knowledgeable about various areas and is extremely responsive with communication. We were successful in selling my condo relatively quickly. I would highly recommend her!
Rachel Best is an absolutely superb real estate agent. As first time home buyers, we were thoroughly impressed by Rachel's responsiveness, effectiveness, and genuine care in guiding us through the home purchasing process. She never left a question unanswered, and would often times even anticipate our questions beforehand with the result of putting our minds at ease throughout the entire process from start to finish. What makes Rachel an exemplary real estate agent is her ability to go beyond what could be just a financial transaction to understand the human aspect of finding a home aEUR" which I dare to say in this profit-driven world is a quality that certainly stands out above the rest. In sincere appreciation of Rachel's great work and effort, we certainly felt her high caliber performance certainly merits this exceptional review. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase a home. We speak from experience, as we happily submit this review from our home!
Rachel is the best! My husband and I were looking to purchase a home. We contacted Rachel about a foreclosure we had been looking at for some time. She offered to add our email to her contacts lists so that if it, or anything new came on the market she would let us know. About a week later, the foreclosure was finally listed for sale. I had been contacting the listing agent for over a year, and never once got a reply, so I was very pleased with her service. We ended up purchasing the foreclosure, after months of negotations and used Rachel as our realtor. She stuck by our side through the entire process, start to finish. There were some "issues" with the home, and after many declines from lenders, Rachel was able to find us a lender that enabled us to purchase the home. She is very personable, honest, and looked out for our best interest. She even does interior design which helped us with some structural and cosmetic changes we wanted to make. We were so impressed with her, we had her list our rental home and was able to secure a wonderful tenant almost immediately, who is still living in the home today. We would highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy, sell or rent your home. The absolute best! Millersville, MD
Rachel helped us become first-time homeowners and she was an absolute delight to work with! She made the entire home-buying process smooth and simple, and always kept us up to date of any new developments or issues we encountered along the way. Rachel explained various technical terms to us in an easy-to-understand way and has extensive knowledge of real estate practices as well as the local area. Perhaps Rachel's greatest strength is her stellar communication skills--no matter what time of day or how many e-mails or phone calls we made to her, she always responded quickly and in such a friendly manner. In fact, she often made us feel as if we were her only clients, despite her busy schedule full of other clients! Rachel truly is the very BEST!
A++ real estate professional. The most positive experience I have ever had purchasing a property. Rachel's local knowledge and real estate knowledge made this an efficient and pleasant process. She quickly identified potential problems and helped resolve in a timely and satisfactory manner. We highly recommend Rachel and will definitely use her expertise for our next transaction.
Rachel was amazing, she sold our home in a matter of days at asking price! We were worried that the process would be painful but she gave us the information and knowledge to be confident and prepared for the home selling and buying process. She came in about a month before listing and helped us stage and offered advice on updating/fixing. She answered countless emails and texts morning, noon and night within minutes. We couldn't have been more impressed with her as our agent! Thank goodness for great recommendations : )
