Rachael Hand

Rachael spent many years in Global Relocation where her love for assisting clients in transition was cultivated and has been a licensed Realtor since 2004. She enjoys sharing her appreciation of the Bay Area with international and local clients and loves to negotiate for the best interest of her clients with a belief that she is a steward of her clients’ assets. With an additional 10 years of experience in marketing in the entertainment industry, Rachael has applied her skills to successfully market and sell homes. She is always technically “plugged-in” with a desire to communicate quickly and directly with her clients.

Rachael has a Master of Real Estate and has been honored every year since 2013 as Diablo Magazine’s 5-Star Professional. In 2014, Rachael was recognized as CCRIM’s Realtor of the Year. Rachael continues her education to stay on top of issues that are prevalent in the industry. She also served on the Board of Directors for the Contra Costa Association of Realtors from 2012 to 2020 and as the President in 2019.

Rachael has served on the California Association of Realtors Board of Directors since 2015 and with the National Association of Realtors since 2020. She is still involved in several committees that give the members of CCAR a better experience with the Association and with the technology that comes with membership.

Rachael believes in volunteering her time where she sees a need that she can fill. In 2011, she relaunched Helping Hands, the benevolent fund for the real estate community and grew it into a fund that is well known and has helped many people in need. She is again taking on the role of Chair in 2024. She has a thriving adult daughter and in her spare time, when she has some, loves to cycle, sing harmony in a band, and hike with her dog Luna, a rescue from Taiwan.
