Testimonials

Rachel is an amazing Realtor. Her knowledge of the local market and ability to expertly advertise our home led to multiple offers in just 4 days from the day we listed the house! If you are looking for a Realtor to help buy or sell a home you definitely want to give Rachel a call.

Rachel is a true professional; not only does she know the real estate market inside and out, she is exceptionally well-versed in every aspect of the transaction. From shopping for homes, to making offers, to negotiations on the purchase side, she confidently advised us every step of the way. Rachel also helped us sell our home and provided thorough research to help determine an appropriate list price while also connecting us with an amazing staging company to prepare our property for sale. She was always quick to respond and one step ahead of everyone else involved.

Rachel is an incredible partner and realtor I have worked with her for the last 14.5 years. She has helped us sell our home and has helped our friends and family as well. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her role and understanding of the surrounding communities and legal aspects involved with all supporting documents, contracts and negotiations. Rachel is a proactive communicator and works with a high sense of urgency in support of her clients. She is highly [honorable] and has a genuine care for the needs and desires of her clients. She is outstanding and I would recommend her highly for anyone purchasing or selling a home.

Rachel is intelligent, resourceful and honest. She has surrounded herself with good, honest people who can help you get your house ready to sell quickly and for a reasonable price. She knows the area well and is respected by her neighbors who regard her as being honest and full of integrity.

Rachel was a superb realtor for me. Below are categories that were important to me in a realtor and my evaluation of Rachel: Availability/Responsiveness: She responded to my emails/texts in minutes if not in seconds (really), and from about 7am to 10pm not just during business hours. She was even working with me on the phone at 9pm one night because a house I wanted was selling quickly. On the day I took possession of the house I bought there was a timing issue with people coming/going and I texted Rachel and she called me back in seconds and got everything taken care of. I think a person needs responsiveness from their realtor and she is super responsive. Expertise: She knew my area I was buying in so well that without having to do any research she knew things like if it was a desirable neighborhood (even down to within a few blocks), she knew street names, the schools, even walking distance to restaurants. She also has a law degree which gave me added confidence that she really knew all of the purchase documents so I didn’t need to worry about them. And she also has a lot of investor clients and knows which houses are excellent investments. Integrity: Her responsiveness didn’t end after the sale. I had to take care of some things after I took possession of the house and she was as responsive then as she was before the sale. She also told me to call her if I had any problems using the home warranty that was included in the purchase, which lasts a year (some appliances were past their lifetime period and she said she’ll fight the warranty company for me if I have any problems). You can have peace of mind with her – she will be acting with your best interests in mind during the whole time you are looking, and during escrow, and even after. Contacts/Additional Help: She knows a lot of people. She knew other realtors, she knew inspection companies, she knew an amazing contractor who helped me make changes to my house after I bought it, she even knew an a/c person who could install a new high-tech thermostat for me.

Rachel fulfills all the dimensions needed for her clients. Lets go through a few. Whether buying or selling, she is a researcher to know what price range is reasonable and market acceptable in the desired time frame. In the therapist role, she is a sounding board who will keep emotions from getting the better of you. As a JD, she brings that legal viewpoint to ensure no gotcha details spring up to derail a deal. Lastly, she is your advocate when the other side starts to become unreasonable.

I have bought and sold numerous homes and from listing to closing each time there was absolute chaos and immense stress. I recently sold my home with Rachel and was blown away by how smooth the entire transaction went. Her in-depth attention to detail throughout was stellar, and even though she is extremely busy she always returned calls within 10 – 15 minutes – something which is unheard of in her field. Through hard negotiations she stayed calm and focused and ensured both sides came away feeling satisfied. Complimenting Rachel’s expertise as an Agent/Broker, she is also a licensed CA Attorney. Having practiced in the fields of real estate, contract law and civil litigation, Rachel brings to the table an all-encompassing knowledge of real estate transactions .

We just sold our home with Rachel LaMar. This was our 3rd transaction with her. As was the case with each preceding interaction, her availability throughout the entire process was nothing short of incredible. Perhaps her most notable quality, in my opinion, is her interpersonal skill. If you are looking for an agent that is skilled, professional and follows through to the very last detail, stop looking. Call Rachel. You won’t be sorry.
