Hi, I’m Rachael Smith – Your Trusted Real Estate Partner! Born and raised in Louisville, KY, I was taught the values of kindness, respect, and honesty. My faith is my foundation, and I strive to live with gratitude and love, bringing joy to others. Real estate is my calling because I love helping people find their perfect home or investment property while guiding them through one of life’s biggest decisions.

With 10+ years as a top agent in Big Bear, a degree in Management and Marketing, and hundreds of successful transactions, I provide market expertise, strategic planning, and a personal touch. As an Airbnb “Super Host,” I also help investors navigate income properties. My greatest joys are my family—my husband Andy, our 3 amazing daughters, and our playful French Bulldog, Meatball. Together, we’ve published Transformed by Trouble, reflecting our passion for faith and helping others.

Let’s make your real estate dreams a reality—call or message me anytime!

Ratings & Reviews

Jean Byllesby

Rachael Smith was a wonderful realtor to work with during the sale of our rental properties in Big Bear. She had a great understanding of the market and suggested reasonable asking prices. Rachael worked well with our long-term tenants, who ended up buying the properties themselves. Throughout the process, she provided excellent advice, kept us updated on timelines, and facilitated everything smoothly. Despite living down the hill, we were able to handle everything online thanks to Rachael's efficiency. She was always quick to respond to any questions and made us feel like we were working with a friend. We highly recommend Rachael as a realtor in Big Bear.

Greg Nichols

Rachael was an exceptional guide and collaborator throughout our first property purchase in the competitive Big Bear market. She listened to our needs, provided realistic advice, and went above and beyond to find both on-market and off-market opportunities within our budget. Rachael's deep knowledge of the market and area ensured we avoided potential pitfalls. Her responsiveness, hustle, and genuine demeanor made us feel confident in her expertise. We will definitely work with Rachael again for future real estate endeavors.

John Kenneth

Rachael Smith's services exceeded expectations during my search for a vacation home in Big Bear. Despite my lack of experience in the area, Rachael was patient and helped me make multiple offers until finding a stunning home below market value. During escrow, when I had an accident and required hospitalization and recovery, Rachael went above and beyond to assist with tasks I couldn't complete. Additionally, when the seller became difficult by taking furniture included in our deal at the last minute, Rachael stood her ground and ensured I was compensated. I highly recommend working with Rachael as she delivers exceptional service.

Andy Meadors

Rachael is incredible!
Her knowledge and skill combined with her genuine honesty and fun spirit makes for a customer service experience bar none - not only as a realtor, but of any type of customer relations. If you are reading this, and still on the fence about who to consult in real estate, what else can I say about Rachael to paint a great painting of her? It is apparent she absolutely loves connecting people to homes for their goal of happiness and joy for their families. Her fun loving spirit bring joy into the stressful nature of selling or buying a home. And her wisdom for the mountain and desert communities is brilliant. Call her.

Pam Kiesel

Our family had the pleasure of working with Rachael not once but 4 times. She makes real estate easy. We recommend you give her a call, you won’t be sorry!
