Your trusted guide to Volusia County real estate
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make — and you shouldn't have to navigate it alone.
I'm Rachel, and I'm here to walk you through every step, answer every question, and make sure you feel informed, supported, and at ease from our first conversation through closing day.
Local
Expertise
Volusia County is more than my territory — it's home. I know the neighborhoods, the schools, the market shifts, and the quiet corners that don't show up in a search filter.
Personal
Attention
You’re not a transaction to me. I take the time to understand what you actually need, communicate clearly, and stay reachable from our first call through closing.
Honest
Guidance
I'll tell you what I'd tell a family member — including when to slow down, walk away, or push for more. My job is to protect your interests, not just close the deal.

Local roots. Long way around.
My Central Florida roots run deep — Lake Mary High School, then the University of Central Florida — and today I live in New Smyrna Beach with my two dogs, never far from the water. I've moved between Colorado and Florida more times than I can count, and every trip back has confirmed the same thing: this is home.
A decade of taking care of people.
Before real estate, I spent over ten years in the restaurant industry, working my way up from the front lines into leadership. That world taught me how to listen, how to anticipate what someone needs before they ask, and how to make people feel genuinely cared for in high-pressure moments. Those skills didn't go away when I changed careers — they became the foundation for how I work with clients.
A career built across two states.
I began my real estate career in Littleton, Colorado at Prevail Home Realty, where I spent three years as a Broker Associate and Office Manager. The Denver-area market is one of the most competitive in the country, and learning to negotiate well and stay calm through complicated transactions in that environment shaped how I serve clients today. Now I'm back in Central Florida and proudly part of the Living in New Smyrna Beach Team, brokered by Collado Real Estate — bringing all of that experience home to Volusia County.
A relocation specialist who's lived it.
Because I've personally moved between Colorado and Florida multiple times, I know firsthand how disorienting a long-distance move can be — the logistics, the timing, the emotional weight of leaving one chapter behind and starting another. If you're relocating into or out of the area, I'll be your steady hand on the wheel.
Outside of work.
When I'm not with clients, you'll find me on the water, at a billiards table, or with my two dogs. Giving back is a big part of how I live — I've hosted multiple charity events, including a golf tournament, supporting causes like Just Our Soldier's Helpers and Back The Blue K-9 Force.
Let's talk.
If you're thinking about buying, selling, or relocating anywhere in Volusia County, I'd love to hear what you're working through. There's no pressure and no obligation — just a real conversation with someone who genuinely wants to help.
Selling Your Home
Selling is emotional — and strategic. I'll guide you through pricing, prep, marketing, and negotiation so you walk away confident in the outcome and clear about what's happening at every stage.
Buying Your Home
Buying a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I'll help you navigate financing, showings, offers, and inspections — so you can make a clear-headed decision you'll feel great about for years to come.
New to Volusia County
Whether you're relocating for work, moving closer to family, or simply ready for a fresh start, I'll help you learn the area, understand your options, and find a place that truly feels like yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you cover?
I specialize in Volusia County, including Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, DeLand, and surrounding communities. If you're not sure whether your area is covered, just reach out — I'm happy to help.
How do I know if now is the right time to buy or sell?
That depends on your situation, and that's exactly what I help you figure out. The market is always moving — I'll walk you through current conditions in Volusia County, look at your goals and timeline, and give you an honest read on whether now makes sense for you. No pressure, just clarity.
What does working with you actually look like?
We start with a conversation — no jargon, no overwhelm. I'll learn what you're looking for, explain the process from start to finish, and be your guide every step of the way. You'll always know what's happening and why. Most of my clients say the process felt easier than they expected.
Do I need to be pre-approved before we start looking at homes?
Technically, no — but I always recommend it. A pre-approval letter shows sellers you're serious, helps us move quickly when you find the right home, and gives you a clear picture of your budget before we start. I can connect you with trusted local lenders if you need a place to start.
