Get to Know Me

Rachel Lacoste is dedicated to creating a truly personalized and bespoke real estate experience, built around each client's unique goals, needs, and vision. She believes that buying or selling a home is about far more than a transaction—it is a deeply personal journey, and her role is to make the process seamless, informed, and thoughtfully tailored from beginning to end.

Known for her exceptional communication, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients, Rachel takes the time to truly understand what matters most to each individual and family she represents. She provides thoughtful guidance, strategic insight, and attentive service throughout every step of the process, ensuring that her clients feel heard, supported, and confident in their decisions. Her commitment to her clients extends well beyond the closing table, fostering lasting relationships that continue long after they have found or sold their home.

Rachel's dedication to her clients and success in the industry have earned her recognition as a RealTrends Verified agent, a Five Star Real Estate Agent for two consecutive years and counting, and RISMedia's Rookie of the Year. She has also been recognized among the top 20% of agents at Houlihan Lawrence.

Rachel joined Houlihan Lawrence following a successful career in education, with teaching experience in Connecticut, Harlem, and Shanghai. She also developed curriculum and programming for a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C., ultimately becoming its Director of Programming. These experiences shaped her ability to listen, communicate effectively, problem-solve, and connect with people from all backgrounds, skills she now brings to every client relationship.

After moving from New York City to Chappaqua with her husband and children, Rachel transitioned her passion for helping others into a career in real estate. She is actively involved in her community, serving on the Board of the Friends of the Chappaqua Library, leading an annual Young Writers Program, and serving on the PTA as a District Chair for Special Education, an area she is deeply invested in. With an appreciation for Westchester and the communities she serves, she brings a genuine understanding of what makes the area such a special place to call home.

Whether buying, selling, or renting, Rachel is committed to delivering an elevated, individualized experience centered on her clients. Her passion for learning, dedication to exceptional service, and knowledge of the Westchester market make her a trusted resource and relationship-driven agent for every step of the real estate journey.

Rachel was a godsend! We moved from CA to NY, and she helped us find a rental while we were still living in CA. She was attentive to our needs, very responsive, and fun to work with. We could not have done it without her. We will not hesitate to work with her again when we are ready to buy. She is fantastic!

My husband and I just bought an off-market home in Westchester, and we were incredibly fortunate to have Rachel as our agent. She genuinely listened to what we were looking for and gave us honest input on every house, and we were blown away by how knowledgeable she is about every important factor of home buying—market trends, town operations, school systems, land and environmental considerations, architecture and construction, furnishings, and more. Rachel also helped us keep track of all important information during contracting, which was difficult for us while juggling a 3-year-old and a newborn at home. She was so easy to communicate with through...

Rachel was fantastic to work with, a true professional. She knew exactly when I should put my condo on the market to maximize the potential sale price, she recommended the perfect listing price, and was able to get multiple offers, well over asking. Rachel did an amazing job staging the condo so that it looked perfect for showings and an open house. Within a few short weeks, my condo was listed, we had an accepted offer, and we closed. I can’t thank her enough for all of her guidance and help along the way. She knows the Westchester market and knows how to buy and sell- you have a client for life! Thanks, Rachel!
