Rachel Hanley

Rachel was born and raised in Palo Alto and attended Paly High School. She went on to graduate, cum laude, from New York University with a BA degree in Economics.

Rachel built her early career in the residential development sector, specializing in land acquisition, investment underwriting for new housing projects, and strategic price‑positioning analysis. This foundation gives her a uniquely analytical perspective when it comes to Silicon Valley’s fast‑moving housing landscape.

Rachel approaches every client engagement with the same market acumen she applied to underwriting multimillion‑dollar developments—analyzing value drivers, assessing risk, and identifying the levers that influence long‑term appreciation. This developer‑level perspective allows her to advise clients with uncommon clarity, precision, and strategic foresight. She closely tracks local inventory and market behavior, helping clients make confident, well‑informed decisions.

Rachel lives in Los Altos Hills with her husband, Ryan Eltherington, and their family.
