About Rachael Smith

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

I bought a house through Rachael over two years ago. What an amazing experience! I was an extremely picky person when I was searching for a home, as I feel we should be. She was patient with me and returned my calls promptly. Easy to deal with, friendly, and enjoyable. If she was busy, she had another realtor assist me. I have stayed in touch with her over the years. She is always willing to answer all my questions. An awesome person.

I can't say enough about Rachael. She is the best real-estate agent that we've ever worked with. We first met Rachael in 2009 when we were looking to by a cabin. Every month Rachael would send me listing and finally in January 2020 we found the perfect cabin for us and we bought it. She is very honest and transparent. She was with us through the whole buying process. She made us feel like we were getting the family treatment. We consider a friend and our fist choice when we have a real estate question. We'll definitely go back to her when we're ready to upgrade.

Rachael is an awesome Realtor and knows the Big Bear area. She found the perfect place for us, within out budget. Being an investor herself, she really understood our needs.

I've worked with Rachael for the last 6+ years and have found her to be one of the best real estate agents I've known. She cares deeply about her clients, finds out their needs and wants, and always delivers upon expectations. As a mortgage lender, I deal with many agents, and Rachael has always been a true pleasure to work with. She's a true professional and I've always enjoyed working with her and her clients!

Rachael has a very good understanding of the market for pricing and what prospective buyers are looking for. I had spoken to other brokers in the Big Bear Valley and Rachael by far was the best.
