About Rachael

Real estate is more than a transaction—it’s one of the most significant financial and personal decisions people make. Since becoming a licensed Realtor® in 2004, I’ve been dedicated to helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate those decisions with confidence.

My career began in global relocation, where I assisted individuals and families moving across cities, states, and countries. That experience taught me that every move has a story behind it, and every client deserves personalized guidance, clear communication, and a trusted advocate in their corner.

Today, I serve clients throughout the East Bay and Diablo Valley, including Danville, Alamo, Diablo, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, and surrounding communities. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling a longtime family property, relocating, downsizing, settling an estate, or building an investment portfolio, my goal is to make the process as smooth and successful as possible.

Before entering real estate, I spent a decade in marketing within the entertainment industry. That background allows me to bring strategic marketing, creative problem-solving, and strong negotiation skills to every transaction. From preparing a home for market and creating a customized marketing plan to navigating complex negotiations, I focus on maximizing value while protecting my clients’ interests.

As a Broker Associate and business owner, I bring both hands-on experience and a long-term perspective to every transaction. Over the years, I have successfully represented clients at every price point, from first-time buyers to luxury homeowners, relocations, estates, and investment properties.

Professional excellence has always been important to me. I hold a Master of Real Estate and have been recognized as a Diablo Magazine 5-Star Professional every year since 2013. In 2014, I was honored as Realtor of the Year by the Contra Costa Realtors in Motion (CCRIM).

Beyond my work with clients, I have dedicated much of my career to advancing the real estate profession through leadership at the local, state, and national levels. I served on the Contra Costa Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors from 2012 to 2020, including as President in 2019. I have served as a Director for the California Association of REALTORS® since 2015, was selected as a CAR Region Chair in 2025, and currently serve in leadership roles on CAR's Strategic Planning and Finance committees. Nationally, I have served on National Association of REALTORS® committees since 2019, including two years on the NAR Leadership Advisory Board. These leadership roles keep me at the forefront of changes in legislation, technology, MLS policy, and industry best practices—knowledge I bring directly to every client I represent.

My clients know they can expect thoughtful guidance, clear communication, strategic negotiation, and unwavering advocacy from our first conversation through closing and beyond. I believe my role is to be a trusted advisor and faithful steward of one of their most significant financial assets, helping them make confident, informed decisions every step of the way.

When I’m not working with clients or serving the real estate community, you’ll often find me exploring Bay Area trails with my rescue dog, Luna, spending time with family and friends, or volunteering in causes.
