A San Francisco homeowner and landlord in Noe Valley, Rachel understands that buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions a person will make and is committed to helping her clients navigate the process with patience, discretion, and a few laughs along the way.

Born and raised on the border of Sheboygan and Kohler, Wisconsin, Rachel moved to California to study wine at UC Berkeley and The Master Court of Sommeliers. After finishing her studies, she went on to tour the French and German wine routes and taste her way through Napa, Sonoma, and beyond.

Enamored by the city’s distinctive architecture and seeking a career change, she earned her real estate license. Driven by her endless curiosity and motivation to succeed, a career in San Francisco’s dynamic and competitive real estate industry proved a perfect match. Living and breathing District 5, she remains committed to helping her clients find their own versions of home and happiness in the city she’s come to know and love.

She donates her time and resources to a number of causes she holds dear, including Art for AIDS, HRC, SPCA, ICA Work Study Program, and Friends of Noe Valley. Rachel lives in Noe Valley with her wife and three dogs, LaToya, Bentley, and Besito, and serves as President of the Noe Valley Neighborhood Merchants & Professionals.
