"Rachel Hutchings was such a delight to work with in the search for our next house to call home here in the Santa Rosa Beach area. My husband and I were both so very impressed with her professionalism. We gave her a list of our “wants” and she went to work right away. She has so much knowledge of this area, has a great relationship with builders and investors who are looking to sell, so she’s in the know about up-and-coming listings that have not even hit the market yet. She prompted us to go look at a home such as this, and it was everything we wanted! We were blown away! Because it had not hit the market yet, we were able to go in with an offer (with no competing offers), and it was accepted. She stayed on top of everything between us, the seller or investor, and the builder throughout the whole process to ensure the home was completed to our liking. And even after closing just a week ago, she has remained in touch with us all to make sure a few things are being taken care of that were delayed due to the building industry. Rachel knows her business backwards and forward. She is not afraid to ask the tough questions and literally will think of things to ask that you didn’t even think about. She is so very efficient! We loved how quickly she returned calls, emails, and texts whenever we had a question about something. She is one of the area’s top agents, and we certainly caught a glimpse of how she has reached that status! As busy as she is, we were never put off. I seriously told her numerous times, “I really don’t know how you do it, how you keep up with all that you do!” Her fun, energetic, and relational personality adds so much warmth to her professional characteristics. She is amazing both as a realtor and as a new friend! Thank you, Rachel, for finding us the perfect home!"

"In December 2018, after much thought and prayer, we decided to list our beautiful home for sale. The decision to find the perfect realtor for our house was simple: Rachel Hutchings. Rachel is a long-time friend and an extremely talented realtor. She sets the bar high and overachieves on every level. Our home was under contract in less than 30 days for $1,050,000. We were ecstatic! She handled each part of the closing process with precision. Unfortunately, the appraiser undervalued our home at $970k. We were shocked, to say the least, and had to proceed with plan B. Rachel helped us through making reasonable concessions; however, the buyers did not want to renegotiate. It was hard to pick ourselves back up after that, but Rachel helped us get through it. A few days later, we re-listed the home at $990,000, and it was under contract in a few days. I’m not going to lie, the closing process was complicated, but Rachel made every effort to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. The buyer was tough to deal with, but we got through it. In the end, after about ten months, we were able to make around a 3% return on the home. Thank you, Rachel, for your hard work and perseverance!"

"Rachel is absolutely amazing! She is far more than our agent; during the course of our working with her, she has become our friend. We have been coming to Destin for 5 years and began considering a purchase about 6 months ago. It was a 3-to-5-year plan, but after meeting Rachel, that all changed...."

"Rachel is absolutely amazing! She is far more than our agent; during the course of our working with her, she has become our friend. We have been coming to Destin for 5 years and began considering a purchase about 6 months ago. It was a 3-to-5-year plan, but after meeting Rachel, that all changed. In a matter of 2 months, through her knowledge of the area and ability to work with the seller’s agent, we now have a vacation condo in Miramar Beach. As I write this, we just viewed a beautiful sunset off our back patio and will always be amazed that God made this happen so quickly and effortlessly. Neither of our parents ever owned homes, so for us to have a home in Texas and a vacation home on Florida’s Gulf Coast is something we never imagined. Rachel’s real estate knowledge, personable approach, and faith are contagious, and we thank God for her. Thanks, Rachel!"

"Rachel is the most helpful and caring realtor we could have hoped to find through the process of buying our first home. We are extremely grateful to have had her as our realtor. Rachel listened to what we wanted in a house, and she worked hard to find us options with our specifications. As first-time buyers, we thought the process would be long and overwhelming, but Rachel made sure to walk us through the whole thing step by step, and we felt very comfortable and sure of our buying decision. We really can't say enough good things about Rachel. She is amazing, and we are so lucky to have found her! We were so pleased with her helpfulness, we recommended her to two of our closest friends, and we recommend her to you!"

"Deciding to buy and sell a home is a huge life decision. Most of us have a lot more questions than answers on the intricacies of the process. We could not possibly have asked for a better partner than Rachel. I truly do mean 'partner'. Beyond the fact that she was super responsive, had detailed and in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of the market, she made it feel like she was right there with us, going through the process from day 1. Beyond just the assistance she provided with purchasing our home, her recommendations and insight regarding other service providers, closing, rental agents, interior design, etc., were invaluable. Simply put, Rachel was awesome."

Rachel Hutchings of Berkshire Hathaway did a phenomenal job marketing the sale of our home, and her strategy, we feel, brought top dollar for our home.
