Bend Premier Real Estate- Broker

For the past 8 years Rachel Greenwald-Rhoads has worked as a real estate broker in Central Oregon. Rachel began her career as a residential real estate agent and her adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit ultimately led to her career as a commercial broker. Rachel’s unmatched work ethic, perseverance and drive helped her to become an accomplished residential broker and since accepting the challenge of the commercial side, she has already established a name for herself in the Central Oregon market as a trusted and hard-working advocate for her clients.

Rachel’s former work as a teacher of at-risk youth taught her to think outside the box and to appreciate the value of honesty and the importance of listening. As an outdoor adventure guide, Rachel’s primary responsibility was to lead individuals and teams through challenging situations.
