About Rachel

Rachel Kiss is a luxury real estate professional and interior designer serving San Diego, with a particular focus on La Jolla and the surrounding coastal communities. With six years of real estate experience and a professional background in fashion and interior design, Rachel brings a distinctive perspective to residential real estate, seeing not only what a property is today, but what it has the potential to become.

Before making San Diego home, Rachel spent a decade in Pacific Palisades and later lived and worked in Las Vegas, where she built her real estate career and developed extensive experience with luxury homes, renovation, and design. Her experience across California and Nevada gives her a broad perspective on luxury real estate and a network that extends well beyond San Diego.

Rachel’s design perspective was shaped in part by her earlier career in fashion, including time with Cirque du Soleil, an environment defined by extraordinary creativity, color, and visual expression. That experience helped refine a philosophy she still brings to homes today. Color and personality can be powerful, but knowing where to use them, and where restraint creates greater impact, is what makes design feel intentional.

That eye for architecture, proportion, materials, color, and composition now informs the way Rachel evaluates property. For buyers, it means recognizing exceptional homes, identifying renovation potential, and seeing possibilities others may overlook. For sellers, it means understanding how thoughtful design, presentation, and positioning can elevate a property and make the strongest possible impression in the market.

Rachel now lives in coastal San Diego with her husband and three children. Her family’s own move back to Southern California reinforced her belief that luxury is about more than square footage, finishes, or an impressive address. It is the combination of a remarkable home, the right community, and a lifestyle that fits the people who live there.

That perspective shapes Rachel’s approach to every transaction: sophisticated property expertise, thoughtful design, candid advice, and a highly personal level of service.
