Real estate is about people.
“Everyone deserves a Realtor they can trust
- a professional to help guide them through one of the most important transactions in their life.”
During my 20-year career in real estate, I’ve built a reputation as someone who will go above and beyond for my clients. Being a Realtor is about helping people find their perfect –- either buying a home for the perfect price or selling their current home for the most amount of money possible with the least amount of time and hassle. I want to minimize the complications of buying and selling a home and ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for clients.
It’s all about strategy and forward thinking, mixed with the psychology of our current marketplace. I will use every tool at my disposal to help you get the results you desire, and guide you through the process from start to finish. I believe you should have a Realtor you can trust with the largest purchase of your life, and that’s why I do most of my business by referral.
If you’re looking to buy or sell a home or have questions about my services, please contact me. I’d love to help you find your perfect home!

Testimonials
Rachel and Dana impressed us right away. Knowledgeable and straight shooters. We felt like we were hiring someone completely on our side with our interest taken care of.
We were first-time homebuyers and feel that the Rachel Hammer Team was incredible from start to finish. We were looking for a house to purchase for ourselves and our newborn son, but werent in a rush. We never felt pressure to buy and the whole team was more than accommodating with our situation.
Professionals that tell it how it is and who are always volunteering themselves and their resources to go the extra 100 miles just to help you out. Working with Rachel was similar to having a trusted personal advisor and a reliable partner.
