About Rachael Hughel

24 Years. Three Markets.One Guarantee:Your Home Sold.

Rachael Hughel is one of Southern California’s most experienced, versatile, and genuinely distinguished REALTORS® — a professional whose 24-year career has taken her from San Diego to Las Vegas to Los Angeles and back, accumulating a breadth of real-world expertise that very few agents in any market can match.

Rachael began her career in San Diego working with RE/MAX on Morena Boulevard, where she specialised in helping investors buy, sell, and flip multi-family apartment buildings throughout San Diego County. That early grounding in investment real estate gave her a financial fluency and strategic mindset that has informed every transaction she has handled since. From San Diego, she expanded to Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada — working with Realty One Group and Realty Executives and consistently closing 20 to 40 homes per year. Her pace, precision, and client service in a high-volume market are a direct reflection of the discipline and systems she built there.

In 2014, Rachael returned to California and co-owned the We Buy Ugly Houses franchise in Los Angeles, where she and her partner flipped eight properties across West Covina, South LA, Altadena, Monrovia, Chatsworth, and Mid City LA. That experience added a hands-on renovation and property improvement dimension to her already deep investment background.

Most recently, Rachael built one of her most impressive individual track records in the Conejo Valley — selling over 200 homes in communities including Westlake Village, Newbury Park, Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Oak Park, and Camarillo. Today, she has returned her focus to San Diego and the broader Southern California market, bringing with her a 24-year career’s worth of expertise, relationships, and a guaranteed promise that is rare in the industry: Your Home Sold — or she’ll buy it.

Rachael’s referral to A SMART MOVE reflects the same client-first, results-guaranteed philosophy she applies to every aspect of her practice. She only recommends vendors who share her commitment to delivering on their promise.

Common Questions

Got Questions?

Here's what Rachael's clients typically ask before booking their move.

How do I get Rachael's Moving Guide and Vendor List?

Both are included when you submit the form on this page. Your coordinator will send the co-branded Moving Guide and Approved Vendor List shortly after — at no cost, no strings attached.

How is the VIP pricing applied?

Because you're on Rachael's dedicated partner page, the HUGHEL-VIP code is automatically identified and applied. No coupon codes to type — your coordinator confirms pricing in your agreement.

What if my closing date changes?

We're built for it. Your coordinator stays in sync with your escrow timeline and can flex your move date at no charge as availability allows. Book early to lock in the best slots.

Are your movers employees or contractors?

Every crew member is a W-2 employee — never a day-labor hire or contractor. All pass comprehensive background checks, substance screening, and identity verification.

Do you handle investment properties and fix-and-flip moves?

Absolutely. We regularly handle investor property moves, estate cleanouts, multi-unit transitions, and large-scale relocations across San Diego County and Southern California — which aligns perfectly with Rachael's investor-specialist background.

Do you serve Los Angeles and Ventura County as well as San Diego?

Yes — A SMART MOVE serves clients across Southern California, including moves to and from San Diego, Los Angeles, and Ventura County. This makes us a natural fit for Rachael's multi-market clientele.

Do you offer packing services?

Absolutely — full-service, partial, and white-glove packout. Mention your interest in the form and we'll include it in your agreement.
