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

We felt so lucky to have found Rachael for our realtor. She was exactly what we were looking for. Great experience from our first meeting to the close of escrow and beyond!

Working with Rachael has been amazing! She has gone above and beyond what would be considered normal part of a real estate agent. I received information from her in the mail stating that she could sell our house within a particular range and that she did! She gave great advice on how to stage or home and worked with us with regards to showing our home when we had people staying in our house. Whenever I had issues or concerns about our property should would have people there checking it out for us. We had a very frustrating close and she was my advocate following up with the escrow company and pushing them to get their tasks done. Throughout the closing process she always took my calls and followed up on the issues in a very timely manner. I highly recommend utilizing her for any of your real estate needs.

When we decided to sell our Big Bear house, I recalled a friend's recommendation of realtor and Rachel quickly replied and set things in motion. She's effective, transparent and highly knowledgeable about the local market whether representing buyers or sellers - plus great insight from her experience managing rental properties.

We had the opportunity to purchase a piece of property in the Big Bear area and had the great fortune to have Rachael Smith orchestrate our purchase. She was attentive, transparent, effective and most important, responsive…everything you can pray for in a real estate person. She also knew the area extremely well and has since been able to recommend several other highly rated people in the area that we needed to do some work on our home.

We couldn't have asked for anything more. Calmly and professionally she took care of every detail. Rachael is gold.
