Born and raised in Reston, now a resident of Loudoun County, Rachel began her career as a Realtor® after nearly two decades of teaching. Assisting friends and fellow community members on their real estate journeys, she quickly drew parallels from her experience in the classroom. Rachel offers the same care and attention she’s provided to students and their families in Northern Virginia since 2001.
Rachel is one of two Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) in Virginia providing support, guidance, and solutions for homeowners and/or their families as they navigate the process of parting with a long-held home. Using the five steps of the Downsizing Made Easy system to simplify the process, she helps clients explore living options and create a customized plan, communicate goals and wishes to others, collaborate with other vetted professionals to execute the plan, tend to a house full of possessions, and celebrate the progress! Licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, serving buyers and sellers from the Compass McLean office, Rachel Cheng is educator, advocate, and REALTOR®… in that order.

My favorite, and the most pragmatic, article I have read about the NAR lawsuit.
You’ve probably heard the news that there are changes coming in terms of how real estate commissions are paid. This might sound exciting and like a potential game-changer for you as a home seller or buyer, with headlines proclaiming things like: “Real estate commissions are being slashed!” “...

Getting a mortgage pre-approval letter is important because it gives home buyers an idea of what they can afford. A mortgage pre-approval letter is issued by the lender and identifies the terms, loan type and loan amount the buyer qualifies for after checking the buyer’s debt-to-income ratios along with cash on hand and credit history.
Many sellers or their agents require a mortgage letter with any home offer that isn’t all-cash, since it acts as proof the buyer has been qualified to get financing.

Families who avoid talking about the cost of long-term care are running the risk of financial distress. Here's how to prevent that.
A loan contingency is a clause or addendum (also known as a mortgage contingency) in an offer contract that allows a buyer to back out of a deal and keep their deposit if they are unable to secure a mortgage with specified terms during a fixed period of time.

Don’t let the dated down payment myths and rate drama deter you from your homeownership goals. There are ways to reduce both. Not only can interested parties help reduce closing costs, there are ways to reduce the rate as well. A reputable lender will help you discover ways to accomplish both. Lucky for you, I know one. 😉 @joe.garon 👩🏫 The more you know! 🌈⭐️ #AskRachelCheng #BHHS #PFRnation
I had a great lunch at Brightview Fair Oaks today. Arvette Reid, Lifecare Affordability Plan, spoke about how to prepare for long term health care needs. (If you've never met Arvette, you should. You can thank me later.) After lunch concluded I chatted with one of the residents. She shared a little bit about her situation and the pending sale of her long time home. Although very pleased with her new residence at Brightview and gratitude for her family, I could sense the sadness and uncertainty. We had a mother-daughter talk and I didn't even know her name. It's the same message I share with you. 💜
