Rachel is an exceptional real estate resource. She helped us buy a new home after ours was devasted by a hurricane and emotions were high. It was an unprecedented time for us and the community, with many not knowing what to do or even what options were available to us. Rachel stepped in with knowledge, calm and a sense of positivity. She quickly assembled a highly responsive team. She listened carefully to what we needed and wanted and guided us to our forever home in just a few weeks. She certainly is an expert in real estate and the process. But more importantly, she's highly dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend her.

Rachel has it ALL- brains, beauty and heart. She got my house to sell in a REALLY TOUGH SITUATION!! And she was so incredibly dedicated, knowing that I desperately needed this house to sell. She is far more intelligent and strategic than is even necessary. She is so well loved by everyone that she has built such a tight bond with other relators, city leaders, attorneys and mortgage brokers. These connections help to open up more possibilities for each buyer and seller! Everybody loves her! Then there is her big heart! She deeply cares not just about the St. Petersburg community, but the long term happiness of all of her clients. She takes the time to get to better understand each client's personal circumstance and builds the best strategy using that, not a one size fits all strategy. My house is a tiny little house that was very damaged by the storm. Rachel did not need to bother with a home like mine because she is so talented and could be going after only the big commissions. She took me on as a client to not only help me, but to help the entire Shore Acres Community. Throughout the entire time working with Rachel, I was always so amazed at how she treated me just the same as she would her clients with houses in the millions. That says a lot about her character. I was BLESSED to have the opportunity to work with her and I am certain my house would be still on the market if not! If you come across this review, consider yourself lucky!!!

Rachel was our realtor and did an amazing job finding our home We truly believe we never would have gotten the home if she wasnt our realtor We had been searching for three years and every time we found a home it became a bidding war on day one I refused to pay way over the asking price and in all cash so we lost many opportunitiesThen we met Rachel She found us a home and once again we faced a bidding war This time Rachel recommended we put in a backup offer after losing the initial bidding war We were the only ones who did this and when the initial buyer didnt come through we got the home even though we werent even the top two offersWe owe this all to Rachel who also provided us with all the contacts needed to help remodel the home as we knew no one We couldnt be happier and highly recommend Rachel

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.
