My experience with Rachel has been nothing short of amazing. This was my first home buying experience and it went as one would expect for a newbie. The beginning had so many challenges because I struggled to keep up with all of the information I got from my lender which Rachel would then translate for me (it truly felt like I was learning a new language). Rachel helped me understand the importance of soaking in the information I received and always made sure I knew what was going on every single step of the way. If there were any questions that I couldn't answer, Rachel would help me understand where I can source the answer (she's even sourced answers for both of us!). Rachel was so patient and reassured me that it was ok for not knowing everything up front and commending me for having the courage to buy a home, as the home buying process is not for the faint of heart. Throughout the home buying process I've learned so much about who Rachel is as a person and realtor, which I now believe is what made us a successful team. Rachel is one of the most curious people I've ever met. She's asked so many thoughtful questions about my upbringing, work, family, where I've lived, even what my favorite snacks are! She's also shared with me that she is the youngest of her siblings and was very studious (totally explains why she's so smart). She's since grown to be more active, contributing to wonderful causes such as Shelter's Right Hand which is a non-profit secondhand thrift store associated with the Women's and Children's Crisis Shelter, actively participating in community events and supporting all of her local businesses. Rachel's curiosity and intellect, combined with her moxie makes for the perfect realtor. I felt confident and secure every step of the way and it was all because of Rachel's expertise made up of all the best qualities in a person. The home buying process was a difficult one, but I'm truly grateful for the challenges because it really exposes the volatility that comes with searching for the perfect home. Homebuying was quite a journey for me, made all the more pleasant having Rachel by my side and always having my back. A couple of house tours and offers later, I managed to score the home I live in now and truly love every single square inch that I now get to call my own. My journey started mid February 2025 and finished in May 2025. I'm currently fixing my new place up and can't wait to make some of the renovations I shared with Rachel because she's going to be guest #1. For any potential home buyers looking for an amazing, trustworthy realtor, I really hope you all have a chance to read this and know this doesn't even cover half of what I wish I could jot down in words. Just know if you do work with Rachel, you'll start with a realtor and will likely complete your journey with an amazing friend. Rachel - thank you so much, my mom couldn't be more proud of her kid. =)

Ms. Tavares is a very knowledgeable and professional person. She made my experience worry free and pleasant. She explained in detail what to expect and what needed to be done. She also kept me informed of everything. She answered all of my questions and concerns. She also made sure that I understood the documents that I was signing, went to escrow with me. She had my best interest at hand. I know she was working on other projects, but she made me feel like I was the only one. The house sold on the very first open house and was very pleased with the end result. I highly recommend her to anyone one who is buying or selling their house. I was very pleased with her and would use her again. I also made a new friend along the way.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you what an outstanding realtor Rachel Tavarez is. I live in Indiana. My older brother became ill and had to be moved into assisted living. I had the difficult task of preparing my brother's home in Whittier to sell. There was so much to do to get the house ready. I could not stay out in California. Rachel took over in overseeing what needed to be done to the house. She called me often to update me and helped me with decisions that needed to be made from afar. I don't know what I would have done without her. I could never have done this without her support and assistance. She is the best.

After 46 years living in our home, climbing 55 steps from garage to kitchen, it was time to find a one story house. Rachel and I met years ago while volunteering together for Shelter's Right Hand and we asked her to be our realtor. We found our home and Rachel guided us every step of the way until we received our keys. She was patient with our almost daily calls and always had the answers for our countless questions. We highly recommend Rachel for anyone searching for a new home!

I really enjoyed meeting and working with Rachel. She is friendly but had the depth of knowledge and professionalism I expected.

I first met Rachel Tavares in person for what was supposed to be just a mini-tour of condos in the area of Fullerton on November 16, 2022. We toured six properties and I really fell in love with one of them. Rachel is a very positive and organized realtor and I appreciated her preparation and thoroughness in the materials she prepared for our visits. I wasn't prepared to make an offer on the property I loved as I had not as yet sold my current home in Michigan. However, I was able to go to an open house again before I left California and ended up making an offer on this property on November 23, 2022. It was accepted on November 24 and we closed on December 27, 2022. Rachel referred me to a wonderful mortgage broker and between them the transaction went along quite smoothly. I am delighted to have worked with Rachel as she is friendly, kind and extremely professional. It was a joy working with her. I feel I have made my first new friend in Southern California. I would highly recommend Rachel for anyone looking for an experienced and competent realtor.

Rachel is not only an excellent Real Estate agent but she is an awesome human being. She worked so hard to make me happy with my decisions and never made me feel like I was being impossible. I am very new to the housing market and she always made sure I had all the information even when I did not like it. If had a 1000 houses to sell I would choose Rachel to sell them all because she will always make her clients first. She is kind, patient and knows what she is doing. I will always be grateful that had Rachel to help me through this whole thing because I could trust 100%. My Uncle passed away and she knew what an emotional thing it was for me to sell his home and she was so thoughtful and considerate about that and it made things a lot easier for me. She went above and beyond and I will always be thankful I had her to get me through it all. I will miss her.

Rachel represented me as the seller, and everything was handled so smoothly. Rachel even managed to close escrow right before the holidays. I wanted my house to be put up for sell by a certain date and Rachel got it done. I would recommend Rachel to other looking for an agent, throughout the process I had no stress which means all the hiccups were taken care by her.

Preparing to sell a home can be challenging at best. So many rules, regulations and certifications before you can even put it on the market! But Rachel made all the challenges transparent. Her hard work in helping me and my family get through the maze of paperwork was a huge help and relief. Before we knew it, we were through the paperwork and the "For Sale" sign was up. All I can say is Rachel was our Real Estate Angel. Way to go Rachel!

Hi Rachel You have been a great help in selling my home. You were great at encouraging me and walking me through all the step needed to sell the home. You kept me well informed about about everything that happened. You Also worked well with Lori in Arizona in coordinating the move and all the paperwork. You are a great person and easy to work with. Thank you for your help and patience. Nancy L Rohe
