Background

Rachel was born in California and has been a resident for over 25 years, including most of those years in beautiful Orange County.

At Merck, she became one of the top pharmaceutical executive-level sales representatives in the nation, winning several regional and national awards. At Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, she quickly rose to the top with awards including Rookie of the Year, Special designation with Previews International, and the International Presidents Elite Sales Award in 2013 & 2014 – for ranking in the top 1000 in the NRT Gateway national realtor network with over $50 million in sales. In 2015, Rachel and Doug received the International President’s Premier award, moving them into the top 1% of all Coldwell Bankers. Rachel’s enthusiasm and passion for real estate are contagious.

Personal

Some of her most satisfying work comes from working with the PTA, where she served as a 2-year term as the PTA President of Alderwood Elementary School, co-founding an Irvine Swim League summer swim team with her husband so our local swimmers would have a home team to be a part of, as well as being a team mom for soccer, baseball and serving in our children’s classrooms.
