Rachel Bernhardt

For her, real estate is all about her clients. She loves providing exceptional customer service and helping clients find the home of their dreams, or sell their home quickly and for top dollar. Her goal with every transaction is for her clients to walk away as happy as possible, and she believes her passion for achieving that goal comes through in her work.

She has assisted many buyers with their home purchases and has a high track record of getting offers accepted on the first home that her buyers fall in love with. Conversely, she knows how to market a home to get it maximum exposure and bring as many qualified buyers through the door as possible. She’s skilled in negotiations as both a listing agent and a buyers agent and helps her clients make well informed decisions and strong offers. She’s a great communicator and will make sure you are well versed in the entire purchase process so that there are no surprises. She also has a great team of lenders, inspectors, insurance agents and more to ensure that you are well taken care of every step of the way. She stives to provide value even after the transaction ends and can act as a resource in many different areas for as long as you need!

She grew up in the West Hills of Portland, and she knows the city well. She stayed in Oregon for college, attending the University of Oregon in Eugene (Go Ducks!). Throughout high school and breaks in college she worked as a sales-person at Nordstrom, achieving top sales while forming tight bonds and relationships with her colleagues and clients. She continued there for a year after graduating from college, and then changed gears to take advantage of her degree in marketing. She began work at a financial management firm doing marketing and event planning, and loved the new challenges that the job brought. However, she realized that her ideal career involved more direct client interaction, which brought her to Cooper Realty!

Besides real estate, she loves spending time enjoying the wonderful city of Portland and exploring the rest of the state, country, and world! She has an amazing husband David, the cutest kitty Marshall, and a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Benny. She's blessed to have her family, as well as many great friends, all living in the area. She reads voraciously, loves to travel, and enjoys both working out and eating/drinking everything she can!
