The selling of my home after 26 years was a very daunting challenge. A challenge that was beautifully handled by Rachel Smith of Dream Dwelling. From first arrangements (Dec, 2025) to final sale (April 2026) with several projects of total updating that Rachel project managed & helped overall design- complete house re-flooring, painting, all interiors, exterior cleanings. Rachel was my constant support and comfort. The most lovely, efficient, kind, knowledgeable realtor I've ever worked with.
Working with Rachel is always effortless from start to finish. They have a sharp eye for what a home needs and communicate clearly every step of the way. Its obvious that getting things done right and keeping everything on track is a priority. Professional, reliable, and easy to work withaEUR"Rachel truly makes every project smoother.
Rachel is astonishingly good at their job and fun to work with, to boot! We had multiple difficult things going on in our lives at the time, and Rachel helped us close on our dream home quickly and easily. I really appreciated that they never even suggested we go over our budget. Rachel's communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills are top notch. Their guidance in helping us navigate the whole buying process as first-time buyers was invaluable. We simply couldn't have done this without them. If you want your home buying experience to be as stress-free as possible with incredible results, I highly recommend you work with Rachel.
Rachel represented me in the purchase of a home in East Vancouver. This was quite honestly the easiest and smoothest home buying experience I have ever had. I was unsure of making the purchase during this political climate, but Rachel said it best, "you're buying the house but dating the rate." I thought that was such a good way of putting it. Rachel also understood my style and preferences and found the perfect home for me! They're great at what they do and couldn't recommend more highly.
Rachel was the perfect person to help guide us in buying our first house! The knowledge and expertise that rachel offers is truly just the beginning of what made her the best choice. Beyond grateful to have someone just as excited as we are in our corner cheering us on and at the same time standing on business!!!!!! THANK YOU Rachel, for helping us with this huge step!
Rachel was everything we could have asked for in a realtor. We were both first-time homebuyers and had no idea where to start the homebuying process, but Rachel helped us at every step and explained things in easy to understand ways. It was much less intimidating with their help! Rachel really locked in on what we wanted stylistically and price-wise, and gave good negotiating tips. The fact they could work in both Vancouver and Portland was also a huge plus, and knowing both areas well equated to well-curated advice for our needs. I would 1000% recommend them to anyone else, especially other young/new homebuyers.

Our experience with Rachel as our realtor has been nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we began our home search journey until the final handing over of the keys to our new house, Rachel's dedication, attentiveness, and expertise shone through at every step. Rachel's responsiveness was truly impressive. She was always just a phone call or text away, promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had. Her communication skills are top-notch, ensuring that we were always kept informed and up-to-date throughout the entire process. What sets Rachel apart is her calming demeanor and unwavering support. Buying a home can be a stressful experience, but Rachel's reassuring presence and positive attitude made the journey enjoyable and exciting. She truly went above and beyond to alleviate any anxieties we had and made us feel confident in our decisions. One aspect that truly stands out about Rachel is her commitment to her clients. Despite our search spanning over a year, Rachel remained dedicated and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, providing invaluable guidance and advice along the way. Rachel's expertise in the real estate market is evident. We had a unique opportunity to buy in a private sale, and she helped us navigate through various options, providing insight and perspective that ultimately led us to our dream home. In summary, Rachel is an outstanding realtor who genuinely cares about her clients. Her professionalism, diligence, and genuine passion for what she does make her an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough to anyone in search of a knowledgeable, attentive, and supportive realtor. Thank you, Rachel, for making our home buying journey a truly memorable and enjoyable one!
Rachel was amazing! As an out-of-state buyer, I relied on their knowledge and expertise regarding real estate in and around Portland. They kept informed but not overwhelmed. I had certain requirements for an income property which they fully understood. With their fantastic negotiating skills, they was able to help me close on the perfect income property in a highly competitive market! If you are looking to work with someone you can trust, I would highly recommend Rachel and their team.
Rachel did an amazing job selling my house. This is my first experience selling and it was daunting to me. Rachel came through ready for it all. We talked out choices on how to prepare my house. They walked me through each step and made sure I didnt have any confusion. Every paper I had to sign was explained (there are a lot!). There was never a moment when I didnt know what was happening. Buying and selling is a lot of hurry up and wait. They got me through it all with ease. They even listened while I had a mini meltdown once I did sell my house. It was an emotional roller coaster for me and Rachel was so patient and understanding. Couldnt have asked for a better experience. Forever grateful.
Buying a house felt scary and overwhelming until we met with Rachel. They helped us understand the process, giving us the confidence and tools to move forward on buying our dream house. Rachel was present and responsive every step of the way, advocating for us and ensuring a smooth effortless close. I am grateful to have found Rachel and would highly recommend working with them for your home buying journey!
Simply, the best. If youre searching for a realtor, I'm pleased to inform you your search has come to an end. Rachel absolutely crushed it. They answered my questions before I asked them. They were quick to to address any concerns I had and made the purchasing process a breeze. I will definitely look to Rachel in the future for any and all of my home buying needs, as should you! 6/5 stars.
As first-time homeowners, my husband and I were very intimidated and nervous about the whole process. Rachel was patient and calmed our nerves. They were also extremely informative and determined to help us find the perfect home that fit our aesthetic and budget.
Rachel has been incredible throughout our home buying experience! They know the area well and were always available whenever we had questions, scheduled showings for us right away and made us feel like we were the most important clients they had. On top of having such an easy going attitude, they made this stressful experience fun and easy and always gave their honest opinion- our trust in them is never ending. Rachel was there with our keys on the day we closed and was just as happy in finding us the home we wanted as we were to buy it! If youre ever looking for an agent in Portland, Rachel should be your first call!
We found Rachel through a happy accident when Zillow connected us. From the very beginning, Rachel was responsive, empathetic, and one step ahead of us through the entire process. Day one, they had showings set up for every house we expressed any interest in within hours. We had an offer submitted on a house within two days and an accepted offer well below asking two days later! I have bought and sold a number of houses, and this was by far the most seamless, well-conducted experience I have ever had. We chose to work with every single professional Rachel recommended and were incredibly impressed with their entire network. Rachel only works with the very best and we will never work with anyone else again.
Rachel is the best! Rachel was extremely attentive to our wants and needs. They were great with communication and always willing to chat, meet or look at properties. I love their honesty, it didnt feel like they were just trying to sell, they genuinely wanted us to find a good quality home in our budget, no matter how long it took. They didnt want us to settle. They were quick, thorough, always on the ball and extremely knowledgeable about homes and real estate. Absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone!
I absolutely loved working with Rachel!! They provided me with the support, knowledge, and patient guidance I needed for my first time home buying experience. I always felt that Rachel had my best interest in mind throughout the process and even when I asked questions at all hours, Rachel was there to answer! I'm currently sitting in my new condo feeling like a Queen and couldnt have done it without Rachels help ??
Rachel did an amazing job helping us find our first home, they were knowledgeable, experienced, and offered a fun sense of humor as well as great listening and empathy. Honestly, being a first time home buyer can be stressful and tedious, but Rachel made it easy and effortless! Its very clear why Rachel is an above and beyond realtor and I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy/sell in Portland! Thanks RachMoney!! :)
We cannot speak highly enough of Rachel. They worked with us as we navigated house hunting in a very competitive housing market before, during, and after COVID's lockdowns. Rachel patiently assisted us as we looked at countless houses, and was ready to jump in at a moments notice to give it 110% and make sure we got the house. Their knowledge of neighborhoods around Portland, ability to interface with the seller's agent, and a strong pulse on current market conditions allowed us to stand out when putting in our offer. We will actively seek Rachel out when/if we decide to house hunt all over again - they are that good! Thanks again Rachel.
Are you prepared to go from "Just poking around zillow, we might want to talk to a few realtors" to waking up in your literal dream home, in one single month? If you are beginning your realtor search, you owe it to yourself to schedule a chat with Rachel. We had no idea buying a home was this simple, quick, and easy. Honestly, it probably isn't. I'm sure there was so much work Rachel had to pull off to make our experience so seamless. From knowing exactly what we were looking for (we only had to see 5 houses), to helping us craft a killer offer, to negotiation a seller credit for something they didn't need to give, Rachel went above and beyond in every possible way. You deserve to have Rachel as your realtor.
Rachel made our home search so enjoyable. She knew what we wanted and we found our forever home on the first day! The process of purchasing and financing was so smooth and the credit all goes to Rachel.
Rachel is an amazing real estate agent. Offering stellar representation for both buyers and sellers. Rachel's real estate knowledge as well as ability to handle all aspects of a transaction smoothly is exceptional.
Words can't express how lucky we feel to have met Rachel. A little over a month after our first meeting and we are now living in our true dream dwelling - we still can hardly believe it's actually ours! From our first meeting it felt like Rachel really listened to what was important to us in a house and "got" it. We are first time home buyers and they walked us through the process in a way that gave us complete confidence that they would have our back through the whole process and make sure that no detail would be missed. They set realistic expectations for what could pop up during the process, but the whole process went so smoothly that they blew our expectations away. It's clear that Rachel is a highly sought-after realtor for a reason, but they always made us feel like their top priority. They struck that balance of being 100% about business, but also making us feel like friends. We look forward to recommending all our friends to Rachel in the future so they can also find their dream dwellings!
From the first meeting we had with Rachel it was so apparent that they have an incredible amount of knowledge and passion for the home buying process! Being first time home buyers my wife and I had so many questions and were a bit nervous about the whole thing. Rachel was always there to answer our questions and ease our concerns with their experience and resources. They communicated with us every step of the way and had our back when any issues came up. A process that I was fully expecting to be stressful and hard was made to feel easy and smooth. I can not recommend them enough!
Rachel is an extremely skilled Realtor and went above and beyond to help us buy our first home. We had a snafu with our first appraisal, and Rachel found a solution that enabled us to move forward and actually meet our original closing date. They always made us feel like we were their only client and the most important people they were working with. From the offer negotiations, to the inspections, appraisals, and working with the lender and title company, Rachel held our hand as first time home buyers and helped us understand the process. Communication was excellent, and we were well taken care of with Rachel on our team! Highly recommend!!
Rachel did a very amazing job in helping us in fulfilling our dreams come true. She is amazing and truly dedicated to her job, very committed in helping her clients like us. Rachel helped us in finding a good lender and made all things possible for our journey in purchasing this property. I will Highly recommend Rachel for all of my friends and relatives so their dreams will Come true as well and for sure they will experience a smooth journey in dealing with purchasing a property.
I cannot emphasize enough just how wonderful it is to work with Rachel! Rachels client-centered approach is unparalleled. Trust me, they are the agent every home buyer/seller wants in their corner! They are incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking is an understatement when it comes to their work ethic! All along the way, I felt like Rachel truly wanted what was best for me and my real estate goals. They are responsive, informative and willing to go to bat for their clients, making the process as seamless (and FUN!!) as possible. While working together, it became apparent to me that other real estate professionals enjoyed doing transactions with Rachel as well and its no wonder why with their attentive and professional approach. Above all else, I felt supported and empowered to navigate an intimidating market and process. I could never imagine doing so again without Rachels representation and guidance. They are not only an agent but an advocate for all their clients - truly a gem!
We found Rachel to be incredibly informative and eager to assist. Their knowledge of the area and the home buying process gave us a both the peace of mind that we needed to begin our home buying journey. Rachel was very accessible, both in their availability and their straightforward manner in answering our questions (which they're are many!) Buying our first home felt very daunting, but after our first meeting we found a confidence we hadn't felt before because Rachel listened to our concerns and thoroughly addressed each issue point by point. It was such a relief to communicate with someone and feel like our worries were understood and there was a clear path forward. I'm so excited to work with Rachel and find our dream home.
We think Rachel Smith is quite simply the very best real estate agent in town. In the fall of 2022, they helped my wife and I purchase our first home, and my goodness is it a beauty. A much more beautiful home than we ever thought to hope for. Right from the start, we had enormous faith in RachelaEUR"in their skill, their judgment, and their unerring commitment to seeing us into the perfect house. As first-time home-buyers, we had no idea what we were doing and didnt know where to start. Rachel educated us, always checked in to see how we were feeling, kept us updated every step of the way, chased down every last detail, fought for us, helped us refine our sense of our tastes, and made themselves constantly available to us. This is a master at work! What else? They have previous experience as an interior designer, which was invaluable to us as we tried to imagine how we might turn some of the homes we were looking at into our dream home. Rachel is also very much dialed into the communityaEUR"they know this city like theyve lived here for two lifetimes. Rachel knows what every neighborhood in Portland has to offer (for better or worse). Rachel's team member, Aneesah, was also terrific, kind, dedicated, and a true delight to know and work with. Rachel's a genuinely warm presence and made the stressful process of house hunting and buying easy and fun. What a pleasure to work with. Wed never work with anyone else in PDX.
Rachel represented us for a second time, in this instance with a sale and purchase and we absolutely could not have accomplished these transactions without her guidance and expertise. Simply put - she is absolutely gifted at her craft and we could not recommend her any more. Detail oriented, thorough, genuine and level headed are some of the traits that define them, so if you are looking for an absolute professional who will have your best interest in mind throughout the entire process, this is your person. Thank you Rachel!
Our experience with Rachel was phenomenal. From our first meeting Rachel made sure to understand our hopes in a home purchase to the last detail. Buying from out of state was stressful but with Rachel we knew we could be at ease. They would call us into open houses and spike honestly about each home, explain the neighborhood in detail considering who we are and always making sure we knew if the community would be a good fit. In the end they made sure that the first home we made an offer on (which had multiple offers) accepted our offer! We have been in our home a year now couldnt be happier that we worked with Rachel. Weve sent two other families to them and both successfully purchased homes! We will continue to send anyone home shopping in the PNW to Rachel.
Rachel walked us through as first time buyers, responded immediately, and was truly an amazing realtor! Rachel really went to battle for us, and weve recommended her to everyone we know!
I'm working with Rachel on preparing my home for either selling but more likely renting. She asked me questions and gave recommendations that I wouldn't have thought of. I'm very glad to be working with her on this project, it is so comforting to work with someone just obviously cares about what is important to me. Thanks Rachel!
I found Rachel through a mutual friend who couldn't recommend them enough, which was already a great sign. At first I was so anxious about starting the home buying process, and within our first meeting Rachel eased my nerves with their knowledge about the area, their approach to communication, and their approachable personality. Rachel was consistently available for any questions or concerns we had, and always responded in kind. Rachel truly goes above and beyond for their clients and we are lucky to have had such an awesome first-time-buyers experience. I highly recommend Rachel to all my peers who are interested in buying property. They will guide you along the way, and there is no doubt they will help you feel at ease the whole time.
I originally found Rachels profile while reading reviews on Zillow, so I'm happy to contribute to their glowing reputation. The short end of this review is that if you want a deeply knowledgeable, trustworthy calls-you-back-while-on-their-honeymoon kind of agent, then Rachel is your person. We were first-time home buyers. We learned while touring homes that we have expensive taste without having a deep budget. In the end, Rachel helped us land a beautiful home we wouldnt have thought we could afford. Our new house needs a little cosmetic love, but this is where touring homes with Rachel is so much fun. They know so much about architecture and remodeling and even, we learned, renovated their own basement into an ADU. So Rachel could tell us while viewing a home that single-paned windows put a home out of our budget or the electrical updates would cost a fortune. As first-time home buyers, we had our down payment, but not a much of a budget for remodeling. We toured maybe a dozen homes with Rachel, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we wish we were still touring homes with them. They are just that great to be around. We spoke with a few agents, but we knew as soon as we met Rachel that they were the agent for us. Also, Aneesah, on Rachel's team, was highly wonderful. They toured houses with us while Rachel was out of town.
Rachel's explanation of the buying process before we even had a property or a plan in mind gave us the confidence to partner with them to start looking for our home. Any questions or trepidation we had along the way were addressed and explored throughly. While Rachel's professionalism is top notch, there is zero pretense in the conversations we've had and they're super approachable, which was important to me as a first-time home-buyer.
Rachel has been wonderful to have by our side during this process. As a first time homebuyer, it can be a nerve wracking feeling learning all you need to know. Rachel has a very calm,cool, collected demeanor and their professionalism and knowledge have lead way in this process. Theyre always a phone call away and no question seems too silly to ask. I highly recommend them to anyone that is in the market! I'm grateful to have them as our realtor. If I'm ever in the market in the future, Rachel will be my first call.
Well, there arent words that will do justice here. In describing out experience with Rachel, there is no hyperbole possible. She is off the hook as a realtor. We met with her and two weeks later we had an open house. 4 days on the market, 6 offers, most over asking, a couple well over and with crazy good terms. She is absolutely the best realtor Ive ever worked with. Ever. Do yourself a favor and hire her to sell your home. I would bet shes a rock star as a buyers agent too! THANK YOU RACHEL!!!!
Rachel is the best of the best. If youre looking for an agent who will go above and beyond for you, and make you laugh throughout the whole (what could be) stressful process, then do yourself a favor and work with Rachel. They are deeply knowledgeable, reliable, honest and so so good at what they do. Couldnt recommend them more.
Do not miss the opportunity to work with Rachel. Rachel represented my daughter and I. We bought a lovely Portland duplex together. She was with us every step of the way. She guided us through the entire process and supported us with even the smallest of things. I was out of town and Rachel went to the new home to take measurements to see if my current rug would fit. She assisted us with finding contractors and estimates to make sure that we were well informed of our purchase. She navigated the nuances of working with our seller with integrity and transparency. I have every confidence that you will be secure in choosing Rachel as your realtor.
Rachel and their team were HIGHLY knowledgeable, accessible, and supportive throughout the process. As a first time home buyer in a fluctuating market, we needed all the guidance we could get. They made a stressful process enjoyable and we felt with their support, we could buy with as much confidence as possible. Rachel and their team made sure we found the perfect place for us! So appreciative!
My wife and I found Rachel in our search for LGBTQIA+ inclusive realtors. We saw their Zillow profile and knew we wanted to work with them! Our first time home buying experience with Rachel and Aneesah was quick, easy, and educational. They worked hard to help us find the home that checked all of our boxes. Thank you Rachel for helping us get into the home we wanted!
Rachel was incredible. They helped us find the literal dream home we had always hoped for. They were essential in getting us the winning offer and they did this all while we were living in another state. Cant recommend enough!
Rachel helped my husband and me buy a home in Portland while we were living out-of-state. We are experienced home buyers and have high expectations, which Rachel and their colleague Aneesah exceeded! Each time we visited Portland, they facilitated tours of various neighborhoods and explained the pros and cons based on the many criteria we had identified we were looking for in a home / community. Rachel and / or Aneesah facilitated both in-person and virtual tours of 20ish homes and shared thoughtful insights regarding the fit of the home. In the end, it was Rachel's relationship skills that enabled our bid to win an amazing home, despite another potential buyer outbidding us. Though we have closed on our hoome, Rachel and Aneesah continue to identify and facilitate interactions with contractors, movers, etc. to help with our transition process. And they are both amazing, enjoyable individuals to spend time with!
We got to know Rachel through a referral and she was extremely attentive and proactive from day 1. Rachel took the time to understand our needs and helped us to search for the right properties. Then, she worked with our schedule to arrange the showing, and moved on to help us put together an offer. During the escrow period, Rachel stayed on top of things the entire time to ensure a smooth process and also went the extra miles to help us arrange things since we were out of town. Overall, we had a great experience with Rachel and would highly recommend her for Oregon area real estate business!
I couldn't have dreamed of a smoother first time house buying process, and Rachel made it all possible. They were there every step of the way, answering my millions of questions with patience and thoughtfulness, always finding time for showings, and using their extensive experience and negotiation skills to get us the house of our dreams. I will never buy or sell a home again without Rachel by my side!
Rachel rocks! It was our first time buying a home and she really took into consideration everything we were looking for within our price range. Was a vey smooth process and was always there to answer our questions, we ended up in a great home! Would highly recommend! Thanks for helping us find the perfect place ??
