Rachel, originally from the UK moved to New Zealand in 2020 with her Kiwi husband and three children – “it was a big move, especially with three young children, but it helped that my husband is originally from New Plymouth and we had spent many holidays here in the past”. Rachel is now loving all that the Taranaki region has to offer and couldn’t think of a better place to raise a family.
Rachel’s first experience of Real Estate was when she bought her first house 18 years ago and renovated it with her husband. Rachel quickly realised she had a passion for property, particularly how to transform houses into beautiful and functional homes - “there is nothing more satisfying than helping a property reach its potential in terms of design and function and getting the sale price the house deserves”. Rachel and her husband continued to develop properties together whilst she worked part time as a Speech and Language Therapist.
Having had extensive first-hand experience of buying and selling real estate in the UK and New Zealand, Rachel understands the stresses and strains of the whole process and aims to alleviate these by providing 5-star client-focused service throughout. As a vendor and purchaser in the past, Rachel has always had high expectations and will deliver no less for her own clients.
Rachel has a keen eye for design and knows how to present a house to maximise the sale price – “sometimes it is the little touches that make all the difference and I enjoy helping people with this”. In addition to this, Rachel notices the details of a house: what makes it functional, what makes it stand out from the crowd and how it will work for the prospective buyers, helping to find the right buyer and the right price.
Rachel has a highly professional and calm manner with a “can-do” and proactive attitude that will ensure her clients have the best possible experience and achieve excellent results.
From the first meeting to the eventual sale of my house, I had full confidence that the professionalism and attention to detail that Rachel exuded would result in my beautiful home finding the right buyers and there was no disappointment whatsoever. I had moved overseas prior to contracting Rachel and she looked after everything from staging to plumbing to lawn care to ensure that the obvious curb appeal of the property was maintained throughout the sales campaign and the end result bore testament to her sterling efforts and dedication to the successful outcome. Thanks a million for your outstanding commitment and for always keeping me in the loop with your timely detailed summaries of events, you always kept me informed of every detail and I mostly appreciated this more than anything. Congratulations to us both!
Rachel Williams was highly professional and kind from the very beginning to the successful end. Thank you!

Rachel was a pleasure to work with and helped us through a quick purchasing process. Great communication as we worked through the offer details and prompt and helpful follow up through to settlement.
Rachel Williams is an exceptional real estate agent who deserves every bit of praise for her dedication and professionalism. Selling my house earlier this year was no easy task, especially in a market, but Rachel's expertise and unwavering commitment made all the difference. What truly sets Rachel apart is her genuine care for her clients. She took the time to understand my needs and concerns, ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire selling journey. Her communication was impeccable; I never felt out of the loop or unsure of what was happening. In the end, Rachel not only achieved a successful sale but also exceeded my expectations in terms of the final result. Her negotiation skills were exemplary, securing a deal that I am truly satisfied with. I cannot thank Rachel enough for her hard work, perseverance, and sheer determination to get the job done.
Rachel impressed us from the beginning, she was enthusiastic but never made us feel under pressure. She gave us the time to make our decision. She helped us in a positive way as to how we should style our house for the photos and we were very pleased with the photos and the advertising. Rachel and Neale Parkinson from Bayleys were involved in the eventual sale and thank you to you both, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend either of you.
Anna and Rachel worked hard for us, great communication.
When we decided to list our property, we engaged with 3 potential Real Estate companies to discuss marketing options, market conditions and the agent's overall demeanour. It became apparent that Rachel had a vast knowledge of the market and was receptive to our expectations. She very quickly gave us confidence with her communication skills and especially her solution minded approach. During the selling process she kept us well informed and suggested slight changes to our marketing strategy. Her enthusiasm and warm personality is very evident and is extended to all parties involved in the process. We would recommend her to anybody considering buying or selling property not only in the New Plymouth area but more widely the Taranaki region.
From the very first moment we engaged Rachel Williams to sell our house we knew we had made the right choice. Rachel was extremely professional in her management of our house sale. Rachel's communication was exemplary and we were kept fully informed. Rachel worked tirelessly and went well beyond expectations. She most definitely went the extra mile. If anyone is wanting to sell their property and they are looking for an agent with integrity, honesty and extremely hard working then I would look no further than Rachel. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.
Rachel worked with me during a very difficult time, selling the family home following the death of my mother. Rachel was at all times very kind and considerate of my circumstances, while maintaining professionalism in completing the sale. She went beyond expectations in helping with the presentation of the house and its maintenance when these overlapped with funeral arrangements and commitments. Her communication was excellent while always unobtrusive. She quickly secured a sale price higher than expected. I would highly recommend her.
Rachel’s positive and friendly attitude selling our house took a lot of stress away. She gave good advice when needed and she was helpful, professional and proactive right through the process. I will recommend Rachel without hesitation.
I could not have asked for a more friendly, pleasant and discreet agent to work with. Always composed and helpful Rachel made herself available whenever I needed her. At no time did I have any pressure put on me, just advice when I needed it. I wish Rachel all the best for her future in this demanding and changing career.
Right from the outset Rachel was amazing to deal with. Selling our mother’s house and having to deal with several family members did not perturb her in the slightest. The whole process was seamless, and nothing was too much trouble for Rachel, her ability to assist and guide us through the whole process was excellent and very much appreciated by our family. Her professionalism and diligence were outstanding – we were kept informed every step of the way with thorough feedback following open homes and enquiries. Her knowledge of the market was exceptional, and this was reinforced by the outstanding result. I would and have recommended Rachel to anyone looking to sell their property who want an exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and also friendly and approachable Real Estate Agent for the best result. Thank you Rachel.
Rachel was great, she listened to our needs and came up with a property which suited us perfectly. She was responsive, knowledgeable and detail-oriented. Rachel made buying our first home easy and we wouldn't hesitate to buy or sell from her in the future.
Rachel recently sold my home and from the start she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her great attitude and bubbly personality, as well as keeping me informed of progress along the way, meant that the "Selling experience" was not as daunting as it could have been. Rachel always followed up with buyers and provided informative updates, which meant we achieved a good result in a short timeframe in the current market. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone wishing to sell their home, and would choose Rachel as my agent, should i wish to sell again in the future...
After selling my home, Rachel worked with me to find a new home that appealed to me - one that i would love and be happy in for a long time. We looked at a number of properties together and Rachel was always well informed about each property that we viewed. I settled on a home a little out of the ordinary, and once the decision was made to purchase, Rachel was extremely efficient at making sure that everything that needed to be done was taken care of quickly and without fuss. Rachel is a delight to work with, has a warm and caring manner and works hard at making sure that purchasing a property is a smooth process for all concerned. I will certainly work with Rachel again should i choose to buy another home again sometime in the future.....
We were very satisfied with the quick purchase. Rachel was very helpful especially with us being overseas when purchasing the house
“Sincerely thank-you Rachel. Without your lead across this property, I (for one) may not have pursued to this outcome and completion. Your communications, availability, understanding along with our amazing Legal Team, got this across the line...Thank you also for your well wishes, thoughtful, awesome (unexpected) gift. Wish you all the very best on your real estate journey. For now we’ve got an exciting project on our hands, however please add me to your property portfolio as happy for our paths to cross again”
"After almost 30 years in the same home the prospect of moving was daunting to say the least. However Rachel was amazing and made the entire process from start to finish a dream. Nothing was too much trouble and probably what impressed us most was her ability to keep us informed every step of the way. Her dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to the sale were such that she made us feel special and her only clients!! As a result our house sold within three weeks. Quite an outstanding achievement especially given the current challenging market. We greatly admired her professionalism, integrity and general calm approach throughout. We would not hesitate to recommend Rachel to any prospective client considering buying or selling their property. We are confident they would not be disappointed. Thank you Rachel."
Rachel Williams has been our agent and she has been the best realtor we have ever had. She spent so much time with us and really went the extra mile. She knew everything about our property when it came to listing. She guided us through the entire process. We are very busy and she made sure we always knew what dates we needed to be ready by and was always in communication. She was very patient and did a lot of listening. She held multiple open homes on different days and times to get a range of buyers through. overall the experience was seamless. The advertising, especially the video walkthrough was stunning. I would highly recommend Rachel and Baileys.
