About Rachel
CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert)
For nearly two decades, Rachel Vecchio has helped clients navigate some of life’s biggest transitions with confidence, clarity, and care. What she loves most about real estate is meeting new people and supporting them through the moments that shape their lives—growing families, relocating to the suburbs, downsizing into the city, or simply discovering the next place that feels like home. Her approach is grounded in attentive listening, expert guidance, and the belief that long-term relationships matter far more than any single transaction.
Rachel’s deep knowledge of both Chicago and the western suburbs is rooted in lived experience. After a decade in the city and close to 15 years in the West Suburbs, she offers a rare dual perspective that helps clients weigh neighborhoods, compare lifestyles, and make smart, informed decisions in an ever-evolving market. Whether advising in River North, Streeterville, the West Loop, Lincoln Park, or throughout the suburbs, she excels at managing interconnected moves—selling in one location while purchasing in another—with seamless, end-to-end coordination.
A Certified Negotiation Expert, Accredited Buyer Representative, and specialist in new construction, Rachel blends her extensive knowledge and expertise with a practical foundation that began in childhood, assisting her father with home projects. Her earlier career as a technology sales rep sharpened her ability to juggle multiple clients, manage complex details, and advocate effectively—all strengths that now benefit her buyers and sellers. Clients consistently praise Rachel for her strategic negotiating approach and her ability to deliver results that align with their goals.
Rachel’s relationship-driven philosophy has also fueled her success: more than $161 million in sales and, notably, representing the buyer in Chicago’s largest condominium purchase of 2022 at $20.5 million. For her, these milestones matter not for the numbers themselves, but because they reflect trust built over time and the privilege of guiding clients through meaningful chapters in their lives.
Rachel is beyond incredible, she is helping me get acclimated with the world of purchasing by walking me through the process and also helped me find my recent rental property. The amount of help she continues to offer and the calm and understanding she brings to the chaos of looking to move, rent or buy is unmatched!

Amy H. Rachel recently provided expert assistance to my mother as she sold her townhome. My mother is in her late 70s, is widowed and was worried about how she would navigate the complex selling process in a very dynamic market. Rachel was terrific - from pre-listing consultation through to final negotiations - she leveraged her extensive experience and insight to ensure my mom received an ideal offer. Her communication was clear and timely throughout the process and we definitely benefited from her negotiating savvy while weighing multiple offers. We could not recommend Rachel more strongly.

Lexy A. We could not have asked for a better realtor than Rachel for the purchase of our first home! She was absolutely incredible and exceeded all of our expectations – especially considering we were first time buyers during one of the most crazy housing markets! Rachel is experienced, confident, extremely knowledgeable and provided excellent insight into all the neighborhoods we considered (which were many!). She was organized, communicative, and patient - she responded quickly and ensured all of our questions were answered during each step of the process. Best of all, Rachel always had our best interests in mind and never once made us feel unnecessarily pressured to make a decision. Thanks to Rachel, we found a townhome we absolutely love. She guided us through the offer process by providing her advice, which resulted in our offer being accepted shortly thereafter. We'd truly recommend Rachel to anyone, both seasoned or first time buyers/sellers - you will not be disappointed!
