I Grew Up On Fox Island, WA - Near Gig Harbor. I Come From A Long List 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. The First Home I Was Apart Of Rehabbing Was A 1925 Craftsman In Ballard, And The Second Was A 1908 Prairie-Bungalow, Which Was To Have Been Built By One Of Frank Lloyd Wright's Drafters. I Have A Passion For Being Able To Respect A Homes Past By Taking Care Of It And Making It New, So It Has The Ability To Have A Future For Years To Come. My Intrigue With Design, The Real Estate Industry And Working With People Created An Atmosphere For Me Expand Into A Career Of Being A Realtor.
When I Am Not Working Or In The Midst Of A Renovation, You Can Find Me Chasing After My Three Little Ankle Biters, Errrrr, I Mean My Lovable Children. I Am A Lover Of Running, Listening To Good Music While Making Delicious Food And 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.
Ballard Has Been My Home For More Than 10 Years And I Have Absorbed Myself In Its Amazing Community. Three Years Ago, I Myself Was In The Home Buying Process Which Enabled Me To Explore The Greater Seattle Area. I Was Able To Learn And Know More About The Schools, Parks, Walkability And Special Characteristics Of The Many Neighborhoods That Make Up Seattle. It Was A Great Refresher To The Ever Growing And Up And Coming Pockets Of Our Surrounding Areas. 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 For My Family?" 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.
We really enjoyed having you on our team. After looking at houses with another realtor for over 6 months - we were pretty much not hopeful - but you made the whole process so great! You did everything that we needed you to do in a timely fashion and did it well. Your communication and availability were the things we can't compliment you enough on - whenever we had questions you were there. So thank you again! You are doing everything right and anyone would be lucky to have you working for them! ...
My family and I are in compete 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. She truly listened to our needs and showed up on Team Us over and over again, even long after we moved into what we now realize is the home that was meant for us all along.
We were selling a house that we bought as a fixer upper but hadn't been able to ...
Thank you for all your help! You went above and beyond for us.
This was our first home purchase and Rachel made the process so clear to us. She took our requirements and found the perfect house for us. She was always optimistic about finding the perfect place and during the process offered guidance on how to get what we wanted. She is an asset to Lake and an excellent example of the perfect realtor. Thank you Rachel!
I was referred to Rachel as my real estate agent from my brother, who is an agent in Phoenix, AZ. Overall I found Rachel to be incredibly helpful and genuine. She worked with me and my fiancé over a period of several months to find the right house. She also was incredibly flexible given my hectic schedule working in the US Army. She kept us informed on all matters regarding our house closing--which was rather stressful for me because I was deployed to Thailand. I would definitely use Rachel as ...
110% satisfied customers and we'd recommend Rachel to absolutely anyone, even the Pope!
Rachel never stopped listening and that was so important; she was also tremendously responsive to our every communication. Thank you again, Rachel!

Thanks for helping us sell our house and find one all in a pretty tight timeline! We feel like you made the process as smooth as could be, without ever making us feel rushed. We also appreciated the way you helped us figure out what we were looking for, and our sense of style and design jibed well with yours.
