I’m Rachel, nice to meet you!

I started my career in real estate in 2003, and I’ve built a reputation as someone who will go above and beyond for my clients. Being a trusted real estate agent 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. 

Real estate is about people. I believe that everyone deserves a home advisor whom they can trust—a professional to help guide them through one of the most important transactions in their life. I’m honored and privileged to be that advisor to my clients. 

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.

My Background

Originally from Montreal, Quebec, I moved to Ottawa in 2000 to pursue a double major in Criminology and Psychology at the University of Ottawa. I use my experience to guide my clients through some of the most monumental decisions of their lives. 

Prior to working in real estate, I worked in social services for non-profit organizations and the province of Ontario. In 2005, I was accredited as a Sales Representative by the Ontario Real Estate Association and have since created The Rachel Hammer Real Estate team.

Real estate is about something bigger to our team; for us it’s about understanding your needs by asking the right questions and really listening to the answers. Once we understand your “why”, we build strategies to help you confidently make your move.

Fun Fact

I love practicing hot yoga and I speak three languages fluently.

“Rachel and her team provided excellent service! A great team, and experienced professionals. They supported and gave advice throughout the process, and in stressful moments. Their marketing video and photos were amazing, they understood how much this house meant to us and that we wanted to sell it to someone special, someone who would appreciate all the love and effort we put into our home. And they did it!”

- Haydee J.

“We worked with Rachel and her team for about 3 years (because we kept changing our minds) and they were so patient with us despite our indecisiveness! We finally found our dream home, and when it was time to list ours, it sold within 2 days, well over-asking. They provided an incredibly helpful staging consultation, and regularly checked-in with helpful tips and checklists. The entire team is honest, professional and responsive, and we felt 100% supported. If you're buying/selling, you'd be crazy not to reach out to the RH team!”

- Michelle S.

“Rachel and her team helped us sell our townhouse and our experience was remarkable. Rachel is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, professional and an overall delight to work with!”

- Heba N.
