Testimonials

I’ve never sold a home before, so I had no idea what to expect. Rachel was so helpful. She walked me through the entire process and made sure I understood what was going on. She made recommendations, but I felt comfortable making my own decisions. When we needed to do some repairs, she had a network of contractors, electricians, and other companies that were very responsive and charged fair prices for their services. I honestly couldn’t have imagined going through this without her. I will definitely call her if I ever need real estate services again.

Rachel came to me as a stellar recommendation from a close friend. I had no idea at the time that Rachel was exactly what I was looking for. She took her time with me throughout my search, really listening to what I was looking for and never trying to sway me in any direction. She did her absolute best to support me in every step of the house hunting process. I can’t say enough about her. She is extremely knowledgeable and not only did she have incredible patience with me but she didn’t pressure me either. She showed me the places I wanted to see, gave me the lowdown on each one, and stood back while I deciphered each option. She didn’t push me in either direction and didn’t question me when I didn’t like a place. She let me choose the pace and for that I am so grateful. During the negotiation stage Rachel was behind me 100%. She made sure that she had my best interest in mind and kept me informed throughout each step of the process. Even once I bought a place and was settled in she still made sure that if I had any questions whatsoever she’d be there for me. I really feel like I gained a friend and feel that my life is blessed to have her in it. You can’t go wrong with Rachel as your agent. I give her my highest recommendation possible

Rachel helped me in numerous ways to sell a home in Carlsbad. The home was owned by a trust, I have never lived in it plus I live over three hours away in Ventura County. She handled all the details for me including hiring contractors to paint, clean and provide staging services. She did an excellent job of keeping in touch through the entire process by phone, text and e-mail. All the paperwork was handled via DocuSign, a real blessing for me. I highly recommend her and would use her again without hesitation.

She is the best! Thanks to Rachel, she provided us with an excellent services – we are very impressed with her service! she is very professional from the start to finish. We would gladly use her as an agent again for the future, and we already recommended her to many other people. My family had a great experience with her to help us buy our house. We used [other agents] to buy 6 past houses, but some of the agents we had did not answer the phone after they sold us the house – I need to mention this, Rachel is not like that, she ‘s always answering the phone, and responded quickly every time if there is anything [needed]. Thanks Rachel a lot!

I have high standards. I found 2942 real estate agents listed in the San Diego yellow pages. I researched 19 realtors in North County, contacted 6 via e-mail, and finally flew to San Diego to interview 4 that I wanted to meet in person. After much deliberation, I ultimately chose Rachel LaMar to list and sell our home. The high qualifications and experience of the 3 agents that I let go made me wonder how I would regard my decision after the sale was over.

We hit the ground running. Within a week we purchased new appliances, repainted the entire interior, upgraded kitchen cabinets, washed all the windows, steamed the carpets, and cleaned the patio before staging the house for show. Rachel was instrumental in coordinating all the work we agreed to have done and really helped control costs to stay near budget. We spent more than I originally wanted to, but it was worth it. We ultimately realized a 2 to 1 return on that investment.
Our house was posted on the MLS 21 days after I hired Rachel. Our first buyer got cold feet and backed out. We never came to terms with our second buyer. This didn’t phase Rachel one bit. Her communication from start to finish was timely, concise, and on target. Soon, 30 days after listing on Sandicor MLS, our final buyer helped us forget about the first two. We agreed to a sales price higher than we listed, but this also meant additional work for more fix-ups requested by the buyer. Rachel took charge to get these done quickly & economically. After we determined the proper California tax withholding, escrow closed 26 days after the purchase offer was accepted. However, funds were not promptly disbursed; we waited another 7 days to receive the proceeds.
The whole process took 84 days and the dust has now settled. In retrospect, Rachel listed our house at the right price, negotiated the best deal we could reasonably expect, managed our projects to get completed promptly, and kept us informed every step of the way. She undoubtedly earned her pay. I now have no second thoughts about putting my trust in her. Rachel proved to be the right realtor for us.

Rachel was with me every step of the way through the purchase of my first home. She is very familiar with the San Diego County area, is incredibly detail oriented, and extremely responsive through calls, text, or e-mail. The entire process from start to finish was quick and calm and I’d recommend her to everyone. Thanks, Rachel!

Rachel was wonderful and very professional in the marketing and sale of our home. She was up to date on ALL marketing tools including media, both paper and virtual. Rachel was on top of all aspects of the home selling process. She knew all the local comps, trends and recent activity of home sales. She was always reachable by phone, text or email. That was huge for us due to the fact that we had not be in the real estate market for over 15 years. Rachel always knew the answers to our questions and explained them in terms we could understand. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience
