Rachael and her entire team were a pleasure to work with in Big Bear. We bought a cabin in 2020 and greatly appreciated Rachael’s responsiveness (especially at the time in 2020 when the market was really fast) and knowledge about the intricacies of each neighborhood we had considered. Even years later, Rachael still happy to be in touch and is a friendly Big Bear resource for our family. Highly recommend!

Rachael was our real estate agent when we first bought our cabin and when we sold it! She is amazing to work with and very personable. She is very professional, easy to get in touch with, looks out for our best interest and has become a great friend. We would highly recommend her and will be sure to use her services again in the future.

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.

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.

I cant say enough about Rachael. She is the best real-estate agent that weve ever worked with. We first met Rachael in 2009 when we were looking to by a cabin. Every month Rachael would send me listing and finally in January 2020 we found the perfect cabin for us and we bought it. She is very honest and transparent. She was with us through the whole buying process. She made us feel like we were getting the family treatment. We consider a friend and our fist choice when we have a real estate question. Well definitely go back to her when were ready to upgrade.

Working with Rachael Smith was wonderful. We had two rentals in Big Bear that we have wanted to sell for years but have hesitated because of our long-term tenants. I had a great conversation with Rachael a couple of years ago, but we decided to wait on selling. With the market in Big Bear so hot, we decided to call Rachael again because we had such a good feeling about her the first time we talked. When she said we could market the rentals with an agreement to allow our tenants to stay, we decided now was the time to get them sold. She suggested reasonable asking prices to start with, and when we called our tenants, both of them actually wanted to buy the places themselves. Rachael worked very well with both sides.Rachael had great advice all the way through the process. She worked with the tenants and facilitated everything beautifully. On our end, we were able to do everything online, which was great because we live down the hill. She updated us frequently and kept us informed of all timelines, and in less than two months from our first call to Rachael, escrow had closed on both places. We never dreamed everything would go so smoothly, and we know this happened because of Rachael’s knowledge and expertise as a realtor. In addition, she is just a great person! Whenever we had questions whether by email or phone, she got back to us immediately, and it was always such a pleasure talking with her on the phone. I felt like we were working with a friend, even though we’ve never actually met in person. (We hope to meet her on our next trip up to Big Bear.) We highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a great realtor in the Big Bear area.

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.

Ive worked with Rachael for the last 6+ years and have found her to be one of the best real estate agents Ive known. She cares deeply about her clients, finds out their needs and wants, and always delivers upon expectations. As a mortgage lender, I deal with many agents, and Rachael has always been a true pleasure to work with. Shes a true professional and Ive always enjoyed working with her and her clients!

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 couldnt recommend her more highly.
