Testimonials

“Rachel did an excellent job in finding us the perfect home in the location that we desired. She provided us with comps of the area and was able to predict the appraised value. Rachel kept the deal alive, when things got rough, with her good negotiating skills. She kept in contact with the escrow company and the lender right up until the close of escrow and always answered our many phone calls and emails promptly. Her attention to details is amazing!  We would highly recommend Rachel if you are looking for a very knowledgeable, professional broker.” Barbara and Steve L., buyers

“We recently had the opportunity to work with Rachel again. We originally met Rachel 8 years ago when we purchased our first home. She is a true professional and real estate expert, and when our family needed to relocate for my husband’s job this past summer we immediately knew we wanted to have Rachel assist us with the short sale of our home. She made the process so easy, comfortable and seamless, taking exceptional care of us each step of the way. Without a doubt I would recommend Rachel if your are buying or selling a home or condo! She truly is the best!! Amanda H., Seller/buyer

“Rachel is simply the best ! I recently purchased a property in San Diego off the internet and was sooooooo lucky to find her. She is the only reason the deal went through. I am now under contract with two other properties with Rachel. I have found her to be the only one who follows up. Everyone else, ie mortgage guy, escrow lady, dropped the ball. When she says she is on it or she will get back to you, stay put because you will not be waiting long. She is the only one you need in San Diego to make your house dreams come true ! Details, Details, Prompt Professional Service. Not something that is easily found here in San Diego. YOU WILL BE AMAZED !!!”  Crystal P., Repeat buyer/seller


“Rachel is amazing. If it wasn’t for her experience and persistence I know my [short sale] property would not have sold. She is knowledgeable, motivated, and REAL! We have nothing but positive things to say about her both personally and professionally. I have worked with other agents and never had the kind of attention and care that I had with Rachel.” Tiffany F., seller


“We just bought two investment properties through Rachel and I have to say I can’t remember ever having been so satisfied with a Realtor. She is prompt, detail-oriented and a great negotiator (and a lawyer!). She really listens and she knows the area so well that she was able to give us excellent advice about where to buy, rental rates, and historical data that helped us make a decision. She really went above and beyond for us. One of the properties was a short sale and half way through the buying process; she noticed a similar property sold for less, so she re-negotiated a lower selling price with the bank saving us thousands! I can’t say enough about her. I strongly recommend her.” Aileen and Scot C., repeat buyers


“We have known Rachel for over 6 years & highly recommend her. She was our agent when we first relocated to SD and were in desperate need of guidance and recommendations not only on where to live, but mundane things like the best supermarket, restaurants and hairdresser. More recently, we have used Rachel to help us in purchasing investment properties. Again she showed her true value because of her detailed knowledge of foreclosures, SS and REOs. This knowledge and her guidance was invaluable to help us anticipate all the hurdles that we potentially faced so that our expectations were realistic. As usual she was very thorough and her attention to detail made the transactions painless.”  Emil & Michele C., repeat buyers


“I thought I would never own a house. I was approved for the first time home buyer grant and had 3 months to find a home. I went through 2 other agents and came up short. My grant expired. I re-appied and called Rachel. I told her what I was looking for and what restrictions the grant had. She gave me some choices, made a few phone calls and next thing I know I’m in my new home. Honestly, I don’t believe I would have found a home without her. She is someone who knows the business and who you can trust. I can go on and on about her but I only have 138 characters left and believe you should try her out. You’ll see how truly amazing she is. Thanks Rachel for everything.”  Jason P., buyer


“I met Rachel about five years ago while on vacation.  I was thinking about relocating to the San Diego area. For a few years I tracked homes in the area with Rachel’s help. She would take time to show me homes in the area when I was in town. When we are working together, she always makes me feel like I am her only client.  I never have to wait for a return phone call or e-mail.  Her news letters and publications are interesting and informative.  I have worked with people in Real Estate a lot in the past few years and Rachel’s knowledge and attentiveness surpasses anyone else I have worked with.  I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the San Diego area.”  Karen P., buyer


“Our family highly recommends Rachel LaMar as your Real Estate Agent. She did an excellent job in helping us find the “perfect” home for our family. Rachel is very knowledgeable about the real estate areas/communities and works tirelessly to accommodate all your requirements in finding a home. She is savvy, personable and very trustworthy. We enjoyed working with her and will continue to call upon her services for future moves or relocations.” Susan M., buyer


“I have very much enjoyed working with Rachel in searching and purchasing properties in San Diego area! Right from the beginning, I liked Rachel’s friendly, flexible, and resourceful personality. Her legal background gave me extra confidence in the process.

I especially appreciated the fact that I was always able to reach her quickly by phone or email whenever needed. Rachel is cheerful, efficient, and fun to work with. I strongly recommend her to anyone in need of real estate services in sunny San Diego!”  Christine Q., buyer


“As an investor in San Diego I worked with a lot of agents over the years. But once I met Rachel I stuck with her. She is on the ball and always works hard to find the right properties, and her law background helps in negotiations and keeps me on my toes throughout the sales and purchasing process.”  Tom B., buyer


“Coming from the East coast, where only attorneys handle real estate closings, I felt relieved having Rachel [who is an attorney], on my side. Her background and education provide skills that other agents just don’t have.” V.L., buyer


“…this was one of the most stressful times in our lives. But Rachel really knew what to do to handle the short sale. We are lucky we had her, as the lender representatives didn’t even know the law on some issues and wanted us to close sooner (which was impossible). Rachel really hung in there for us and made the sale go smoothly. It’s nice to have someone [like Rachel] in a tough time.” Client, seller


“Having worked with several agents over the past 20 years I found Rachel to be one of the best I’ve ever seen. Always reliable, with creative buying ideas, and incredible focus on details through closing. To anyone wanting to work with a real professional and relax Rachel is your best choice.” Robb H., buyer

“We found Rachel to be a pleasure to work with. She went out of her way to help make the sale go through and iron out any problems that arose. We would be happy to use her again and refer her to our friends.” Brenda L., buyer, seller


“I found Rachel to be an excellent Realtor and would heartily endorse her. She provided just the right amount of input and let me decide on the pace I wanted to look for houses. In addition to her in-depth knowledge of the real estate market, Rachel was a wealth of information about the neighborhood, which was a great blessing for an out-of-towner. Most important of all she was always fun and pleasant to work with.” Emil C., repeat buyer


“Rachel was the epitome of professionalism, efficiency, and a joy to work with. We looked all over Southern California, from West Los Angeles to San Diego in our search, and could have settled anywhere but Rachel was so accommodating and helpful, her positive energy kept bringing us back to Carlsbad. I think we literally felt better about it because of how great she was. She spent days with us driving us all over the North County area, and familiarizing us with our options, and she worked overtime to ensure that we were happy even if it meant she had to reschedule her agenda. During closing on the house she provided all the helpful contact numbers for plumbers, painters, furniture places, etc. to help us on our settling in…Rachel LaMar is the top of her game. We loved working with her and I will recommend her to anyone I can.” Lilli R., buyer

“Rachel is just that great combination of high business ethics, terrific execution and always looking for the best win-win. She is a polished professional that does what you expect, when you expect it, and always goes the extra mile. Her acumen is second to none and I would involve her in any business dealing that I am working with.” Alex R., buyer


“…the pleasure of working with Rachel made the whole [first time buying] process easier. Rachel was honest, understanding and dedicated to ensuring we understood the process and most importantly, that we were comfortable with the big decisions we were about to make. What I appreciated most about Rachel was her quick response and follow-through. If there was anything that was left outstanding, Rachel made it a point to follow up with us to let us know the status…no matter what day it was, or what time!” Amanda H., buyer/seller
