Rachel is *the* agent to get in Big Bear. We had a great experience working with her. Communication was consistent, clear, and reliable from start to finish, which made a huge difference throughout the process. We were in a tough market, and although it took several months to sell our home, she remained patient, proactive, and fully engaged the entire time, never letting things stall and continuing to push forward with strategy and encouragement when it would’ve been easy to lose momentum. What really stood out is that she took us on despite already managing a full slate of listings, yet we never felt like an afterthought—she gave us the attention and effort we needed to get our home sold. We’re genuinely grateful for her professionalism, persistence, and steady communication, and would highly recommend her.

I’m so glad I found Rachael on YouTube! Watching her educate people interested in Big Bear real estate turned into a great working relationship. Rachael represented us as buyers for our short-term rental purchase, and we have nothing but great things to say about her and our experience. She’s chill, very approachable, and a true problem solver who does everything she can to get a great deal going. She listens carefully and never made us feel pressured about any decision, while still offering her professional opinion when asked. She’s extremely honest, open, and transparent — exactly what you want in someone representing you, whether as a buyer or a seller. We absolutely recommend her and are confident anyone who works with her will have an awesome experience!

I'm writing this review to acknowledge the great work of Ms. Rachael Smith. Since we put the property for sale in Big Bear City, Rachael has been working tirelessly and communicating with me in all aspects of the project. I cannot thank her enough for her hard work. I strongly recommend her for any property purchase or sale. BA 07/09/2025

Rachel has gone above and beyond to represent us as Buyers. She went as far as researching insulation and talking with the Seller's contractor to make sure the standards of upgrades were met. She is personable, patient and a hustler. I have recommended her to all my Big Bear friends:-)
