Get to Know Me

I grew up on Fox Island, WA - near Gig Harbor. I come from a long line of home builders and watched my father build many homes, including the one I grew up in. Most people who know me know that I have a fascination with home design and a major curiosity with a home’s history. I particularly love old homes; the older, the better.
 
I have renovated many homes in the last 20 years, which has allowed me the opportunity to understand the systems of a home, what to look for when buying & selling a home & the knowledge to strongly lead my clients in the right direction.
 
My intrigue with design, the real estate industry, & working with people has created an atmosphere for me to expand into a career of being a real estate agent.
 
When I am not selling homes or in the midst of a renovation, you can find me watching my three kids play sports, in the kitchen making awesome food, & sneaking away to refresh my battery. I am a lover of running, listening to good music, & spending quality time with my family and friends.
 
I love to learn new things and strive to always think outside the box. I highly dislike the word “no”, as I believe there is always a way. I am a firm believer that if you try hard enough and spend the time, you can always find a way to make something work.
 
Seattle has been my home for close to 20 years and I have absorbed myself in its amazing community. I have a great understanding about the awesome pockets Seattle has to offer. Seattle is a mover and a shaker, with not much sleep, kind of like myself. It is expanding at an exorbitant rate and more people are spilling into our area than most have ever seen. This is a great time for sellers, but not so much buyers, which has helped in creating this crazy market we are in now.
 
I have a creative and active mind that I have a hard time shutting off. I find fulfillment in taking charge of whatever is in front of me, which has been a huge benefit to my clients throughout their home buying and selling process. Buying and/or selling a home can be very exciting, but it can also be one of the most stressful times in a person's life. It can be emotionally draining, financially weighing, and filled with many questions. "Am I making the right decision?" or "Is this location the best fit?" I continue to remember the hesitation and second guessing I had when going through all of my own personal buying and selling experiences. It is my goal to make this time as stress-free and positive as possible. And I will remind you, as a client, what an exciting and powerful experience “your” process is.
 
I work with passion and will be your biggest advocate!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My family and I are in complete agreement - we would work with Rachel again in a heartbeat if we could. We were very sad to leave our much-beloved home and neighbors, and Rachel was extremely sensitive to how difficult the decision was for us.
