I was very pleased with the service I received from Rachael and her team during the sometimes stressful time of selling our home. Rachael kept a cool head and helped us through the entire process. Other realtors in the area mistakenly thought a buyer would come to them, the house would sell on its own, or would just blame the down-turned market for no sales activity, but Rachael got out there and brought in the business needed to make the sale happen. I also appreciated the straight and honest opinions Rachael provided us regarding the local home sale market. If you want to sell your home…Call Rachael Richards team of experts.

My home was on the market for a long time before I met Rachael. The traffic was almost zero. Once Rachael took over, the traffic started flowing immediately. She worked hard, got my home listed on the nets, prepared fliers, postcards, a virtual tour and even hosted an open house within a week. She also arranged a meeting with an interior designer who gave me valuable suggestions. Because of Rachael’s aggressive marketing, my home was sold in two weeks! She arranged all repair work painlessly for me and continued to work hard until closing. I am glad I chose her to be my realtor and will do so in the future. I will highly recommend her to be anybody’s Selling Agent.

Rachael helped me make sense of the rapidly changing housing market and price my home appropriately. Her marketing strategy generated a tremendous amount of interest in my property and eventually led to a full price offer. Rachael’s understanding of market conditions and buyer behavior allowed us to aggressively negotiate contract terms that protected my interests without jeopardizing the sale. I would recommend Rachael Richards to anyone who is considering buying or selling a home.

I recently sold my house in Chandler Crossing Estates with the help of Rachael Richards as my agent. I highly recommend Rachael as a smart and very competent professional. She was a pleasure to work with, as well. With Rachael’s input, the house was priced correctly and I had two offers within the first two days. The buyer’s inspector found several major and minor problems. I had just begun my final semester at Ottawa University where I was taking 19 credit hours and was totally overwhelmed with the idea of locating and working with contractors to correct these problems. Rachael assumed the entire responsibility for locating contractors, essentially acting as my general contractor. She went way beyond my expectations of a realtor and did so with a great attitude.

I don't have enough good things to say about Rachael. She had clients that wanted to buy in our subdivision. No homes in our neighborhood were on the market at that time. She was going door to door to see if anyone was interested in putting their home on the market and that is how she met my husband. When we were ready to buy, we called Rachael and she was always available to show a property. In a hot real estate market, you have to be ready to go at a moments notice. The market was very hot at that time and it was because of her hard work that we found and purchased the perfect house. We provided her with our desired amenities, price range and desired area. We did not expect to find every single item we wanted and figured we would have to make some concessions. She found a home that had every item on our list and was in our price range, even with daily skyrocketing real estate prices. She was not only hardworking and professional, but very personable and an absolute pleasure to work with. I will recommend anyone who is in the market to buy or sell a home to talk to Rachael Richards.

Rachael was a great agent. We sold our house within about 10 days once we listed with her despite the market still being very slow. This is after having had our house on the market for 180 days with another agent BEFORE we switched to Rachael. Her professionalism, knowledge of the market and our area, and her marketing are so strong. We had not had anyone view the house in over 6 weeks before Rachael listed it and we had 3 calls for showings in the first week she listed it. We were really impressed with her timely communication about what she was doing to sell our home as well as feedback from viewers. We never had to contact her for information because she always called or emailed us first. We were also impressed with her website which makes it easy for buyers to stay aware of what Rachael & her team are doing for your home. It is easy b/c she gives each buyer their own account to log in and track the work being done. Rachael really cares about her clients. After ourinspection she contacted and helped schedule contractors for the repairs. This was so helpful as we were busy packing. Also, we needed temporary housing as our new house is being built and Rachael went above and beyond to help us find a place to rent. Rachael really made it all so easy and took care of everything...so that all we had to do was pack up the house!!!

I recently had the good fortune of listing my house in Chandler Crossing with Rachael Richards and would highly recommend her services to anyone. I had already moved out and the house was completely vacant. Rachael's staging professional staged very nice arrangements around the house that made it look lived-in and really added to the presentation of the house. Rachael handled all aspects of the sale including finding a handyman for repairs and a roofing contractor. During the sale and escrow period, I was out of state and really appreciated both Rachael and Erin, her assistant, who kept me well-informed.
Rachael's knowledge of the local market and her expertise in Chandler Crossing made a huge difference in selling my house in less than two weeks and in a buyer's market. I know there are a lot of ups and downs in selling a house especially in a difficult market, but Rachael handled all of the details in such a calm, professional manner that from my perspective, it was a smooth transaction. I'm glad I made the decision to list with Rachael.

My husband and I were in a market for a new home, but we had never purchased one before. We were new to the area and had no clue where to start. A co-worker was kind enough to refer us to Rachael. She highly recommended her, and we were willing to give her a try. From the very beginning, Rachael was very professional and not pushy at all. She asked us our needs/wants and immediately sent us listings that matched our preferences. We were very picky, being that it was our first home, but Rachael did not give up. She took us around to several builders until we found what we needed. She was very approachable and willing to answer all of our questions. She made our first home buying experience a very pleasant one. Rachael is very professional and not scared to go the extra mile for you. We highly recommend her to anyone who is in the market of buying or selling a home. THANK YOU RACHAEL!!!
