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 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 help our sellers achieve mass appeal 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
As buyers and sellers, the Rachel Hammer team exceeded our expectations. Our search for the perfect home became a bit like a journey. There were peaks and valleys, twists and turns, and we were happy to have them along to guide us.
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.
Pleasantly surprised by excellent service above and beyond any expectations and well above any service we've had with any other real estate agent in the past. Thank you Christina!
