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

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Rachael is a source of information. She is intelligent and knowledgeable in her field and in her market. If she doesn’t know something, she will find out for you. She’s always helpful. I trust her, and her advice. I’m glad to have had her as my agent. But now I’m keeping her as a contact for life. I would refer and recommend Rachael to anyone with questions about real estate, investing, or about Big Bear!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Rachael was a dream to work with. First of all, she sold our home within hours of listing it, and at a higher price than any of the comparable properties in the area. She had been recommended by a brilliant woman who knows more about Big Bear than almost anyone, and Rachael still exceeded our hopes and expectations. She is a pleasure to work with, both detailed and personable. She is also one of the most well-read and well-rounded characters you are likely to meet, and at the top of her game as a realtor. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness Rachael was super knowledgeable and always quick to respond! She helped us every step of the way through our purchase and sale of our home. We are not the easiest clients, and she was attentive and helpful through it all. Highly recommend her services!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Rachael first and foremost is passionate about real estate and helping those involved (clients and not). She genuinely cares about each transaction and the people involved. Rachael helped me buy a place and sell a place in Big Bear Lake, CA. Her expertise in real estate transactions, keeping tabs on the deal, and consistent/clear communication is on par with the best of them. Rachael stays consistent the whole way through even when difficult items pop up that may need to be navigated. I will definitely use Rachael again for my real estate needs when it comes to buying and selling property. She is super personable too, which makes the business relationship even easier.
Jared Siqueland
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness We highly recommend Rachael! She is easy to work with, very responsive, and fun to house shop with. Her knowledge of the Big Bear market and of short-term rentals helped us find a wonderful vacation home. Our offer and purchase prices were well under the asking price, in a seller’s market, and Rachael’s guidance and support were highly appreciated as we negotiated with the seller. Our escrow process was smooth and organized, which was especially great since we live hours from Big Bear. We will definitely be asking Rachael for her help on our future Big Bear real estate needs.
