My husband was offered his dream job in another state, so suddenly we had to uproot ourselves and move. We interviewed four realtors before selecting Rachel Best. Even in a down market, Rachel was able to help us sell our house within a few weeks of listing it. She was charming, knowledgeable, responsive to our needs and insightful about ways that we could make our home more marketable. She was also instrumental in helping us relocate and find Reggie Harris who owns a small moving company; He was prompt, fair, hardworking and very personable, so we had no stress on our moving day. I've never had an easier moving process. Less

Patient and professional are the best words used to describe Rachel. She was so patient with my husband and I through the entire process and backed all of our decisions. She always guided us in the right direction with all the information that we would need to make the proper decision, but never once pushed us in any direction. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home or rent one out as well.

We found Rachel online and decided to use her; this was probably one of our best decisions. This was our first time buying a house and had NO idea what we were doing! She took us right in like she knew us and explained everything, and how it works. Rachel guided us in the right direction. We looked at tons of houses and she was always willing to show us no matter what day or time. Rachel was always very quick to respond back to emails or questions! To say the least we waited a LONG 7 months for a short sale and she was ALWAYS optimistic and positive that things would work out. Sure enough now 2 weeks in our new HOME and we LOVE it! Couldn?t have been happier with Rachel and all her help! Would definitely recommend her to anyone! Her last name is BEST for a reason :) Less

My fiance and I were first time home-buyers and we could not have asked for a better agent! Rachel has a no-nonsense approach to homes and we felt our best interests were a top priority for her. The home buying process can be a stressful time but we were confident having her as a co-pilot. She was professional, honest, and kept a very flexible schedule to suit our lifestyle. You will not go wrong with Rachel!

Rachel was a pure pleasure to work with! Not only is she educated on the different communities (schools, demographics, local interests) but she also had a strong knowledge of home improvement/repair costs. Being that we wanted an older home, she understood our vision and also showed us homes that could be "converted" to exactly what we were looking for. She understands design and how that can align with a specific budget too. The home we purchased was a short sale about to shift into a foreclosure. Not only did she work her magic and get through it fairly quickly, she gave us excellent advice on our offer. With timing being so critical, it was refreshing that she was so responsive and always by end of day. Once the sale was wrapped up, she walked us through all the other details we needed to take care of and even sent us email reminders. I was extremely impressed with her professionalism, knowledge and overall skill. I have already recommended her and will be doing so again! Less

Rachel is someone who understands that this process, whether it be your first home or an upgrade, is a delicate and emotional time for people. She is extremely responsive and gives you the feel that you are her only clients! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor that will also feel like a friend.

With Rachel's help my husband and I just purchased our first home. She's been amazing to work with. As first time home buyers we really needed someone to hold our hand and walk us through the process. She was so knowledgeable and honest about what we were working with, I knew I could trust her advice. She was so prompt at responding to e-mails and answering all our numerous questions. She really couldn't have made this process any easier for us. We're so grateful for all her help! Less

Rachel was always very professional and gave us informed advice on our journey to finding the right home. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

Prior to working with Rachel we had worked with another highly regarded realtor in the region. Needless to say, that realtor did not possess Rachel's skill set or ability work for her clients. Overall we had a wonderful experience, paid less than what we expected, and had service above and beyond what we would have expected. My fiancee and I had a very pleasurable experience and would highly recommend her. If you want a no nonsense realtor who works with the client, Rachel is the one for you. Less

I could have never found my house, or gotten such a good deal without her. She was always very pleasant and easy to work with, I'm grateful that I was lucky enough to find such a great agent.

Rachel was everything we wanted and expected from a Real Estate agent. We initially expressed to Rachel the type of area and house we were looking for, in which Rachel was able to pinpoint specific areas that appealed to us. We looked at dozens of houses before finding the perfect fit. Rachel was extremely patient throughout the whole process and we never felt pressured into making a decision we weren?t 100% comfortable with. Rachel is also an excellent communicator by answering all our questions in a timely manner. Buying a home can be a stressful process, but Rachel?s knowledge and professionalism added comfort in our decision. If we are to buy/sell a home in the future, we will most certainly use Rachel Best !! Less

She is extremely responsive to emails, texts and voicemails. She also made herself available in a very timely manner. Rachel's interior design background also helped us envision small changes that could really change the look of a home. My husband and I were very impressed with Rachel's knowledge that went from paint to foundations of a home. We highly recommend you contacting Rachel if you a looking for a home! Less

Throughout our moves (5 to be exact across the country) we have worked with several agents and Rachel is outstanding. Love how organized she is. Our appointments were always pre-schedule and mapped out to maximize our time and minimize our driving. She was patient when we were confused and her ability to see the big picture really helped in our decision making. Rachel went above and beyond in helping us with our home choice and we are very thankful for her expertise, not only as an agent but also as an interior designer. Her visions really helped up make the right housing choice. The CAD drawing she was able to make for us was an added bonus. We are lucky to have her as our agent and we would recommend her to anyone.

I worked with 3 agents before working with Rachel, and she is by far the BEST! I was a first time home buyer, so of course I had many questions, to which she always answered honestly and even helped explain in detail or sent an email for a break down/example if necessary. She was very involved/caring and is the kind of person that makes you feel like she is there for YOU. Rachel?s responses are as immediate as you can get (which I found to be extremely rare.) I really can?t say enough good things about her! If you want a great agent that?s not going to give you the runaround, and is going to be there every step of the way, Rachel is your girl! Less
