About Rachael

Hi, I’m Rachael Smith – Your Trusted Partner in Real Estate! I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, in a family rooted in kindness, respect, and honesty. My faith is the foundation of my life—guiding me to serve others with gratitude and heart. Real estate became my calling because it lets me walk alongside people during one of life’s biggest transitions—helping them find the right home or investment with care, strategy, and integrity. With over 10 years of experience as a top-producing agent in Big Bear and a degree in Management and Marketing, I bring deep market insight and a results-driven approach to every transaction. I’ve closed hundreds of homes across Big Bear and beyond, and as of mid-2025, I’ve taken 51 listings, closed 25 deals, and booked 125 client appointments—all in a slower market. I’m proud to have earned over 300 five-star reviews, a testament to the service, trust, and results I bring my clients. I also own and manage two Airbnb properties as a Superhost, which gives me a unique edge when helping clients buy or sell short-term rental homes with confidence. Outside of work, I’m a wife, mom, and adventurer. My three daughters—Addie, Cali, and Nora—are my greatest joy, and my husband, Andy, is my biggest cheerleader. We co-authored Transformed by Trouble, a Christian journal on Amazon that reflects our passion for faith and growth. Our Frenchie, Meatball, keeps things playful at home. I thrive on challenges—whether it’s climbing Mount Whitney, competing in Ironmans, or helping a client get top dollar in a tough market. I’d be honored to help you on your real estate journey. Let’s make it smart, smooth, and successful—reach out anytime!
