Ratings & Reviews

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.
Jean Byllesby
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.

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.

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.
Andy Meadors
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!
