An East Bay resident for 17+ years, Raquel prides herself on her extensive knowledge of the local market she has accumulated through her years of experience. I know that the right home, in the right neighborhood is so important to feeling at home! In a time where buying and selling a home has been whittled down to simply a transactional deal, Raquel takes an old school approach by going above and beyond the expectations of her clients. Hard work is her trademark. Through her calm and deliberate approach, she maintains constant communication building client trust every step of the way. Her clients appreciate her keen ability to think outside the box in order to give them the best results possible.

I grew up in the South, in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. Although the South was a great place to grow up, I decided to adventure west where I attended the University of Colorado in the beautiful town of Boulder. Following college, I continued on my western route and landed in San Francisco. The Bay Area has been my home since 2000 and is where I “found my heart”!

I came to real estate relatively late in my career, in 2014. Prior to becoming a realtor, I consulted to small businesses and non-profits on strategic execution. In English, that’s developing a deep understanding of their customers’ experiences, on operational, financial, and marketing strategies, and on structuring their organization and leveraging their resources to achieve their goals. In shorter English, that’s what do we do that people need, what have we got to do it with, who should do it, and will we be successful doing it.

I’m a local…really really a local…
I was born and raised in Moraga, and never strayed too far from the home I grew up in. I attended DVC, UC Berkeley, and St. Mary’s College. I’ve lived in Berkeley, Oakland, Orinda, and finally back to Moraga, and I’ve worked in Oakland and Berkeley prior to entering real estate…So pretty much my entire life has been within a 2-1/2 hour bike ride.
