Real estate is about experience.
“I don't rest until my clients are happy in the home of their dreams.”
I love working in real estate because it combines my passion for helping people with my life-long interest in where we live, and why. As a child I was enthralled with real estate ads and thought everyone appeared to love what they were doing. Little did I know that I would have the privilege of working in this industry and love going to work every day.
I work with buyers to find the right home for their needs, and also work with sellers to achieve mass appeal for their home based on what buyers are currently looking for. I use my in-depth knowledge of Ottawa’s neighborhoods, communities, and real estate market to help my clients achieve their goals.
I would be happy to help you find the home of your dreams, and guide you through the home buying process from start to finish.

Testimonials
The services we received from Rachel Hammer Real Estate were second to none. We received very personalized service that allowed us to get the home we have always wanted.
It was rather serendipitous finding the Rachel Hammer Team. They were the listing agents on a property I was interested in. From that first contact I had nothing but caring and professional service. Would definitely recommend Rachel Hammer and her team. Christina Colton was excellent.
Buying a house can be stressful. In our case it was extremely difficult. Our child was in the hospital fighting a battle with cancer, we had 26 days to find a new home in a new city 5 hours away. We will forever be grateful to have made the choice to use Christina as our real estate agent. She went above and beyond what we needed. She drove across town looking at houses for us when we were unable to. She listened to us, truly seemed to understand what we wanted, and helped us find a home that suited our needs. I don’t think you can find a more genuine, kind, trustworthy, knowledgeable real estate agent.
