Rachel Koubsky

Even cleaning a bathroom can be fun with the right people.

Growing up in Central MN on a hobby farm has helped lay a foundation of hard work, persistence, integrity, and care, in my life.

My passion for real estate started in college when in my third year of school I applied for my first mortgage. I knew even then the impact of home ownership! Even though I was denied due to insufficient income, I didn’t let that stop me from dreaming about owning my own home. I continued to chase down that dream and bought my first home just a few years after in Sartell, and later turned that home into a rental property.

Sartell has been my home as I’ve served as a pastor at The Waters Church for over 14 years. My husband Nick teaches Math at Sartell High School and coaches basketball, and we have twin girls, Audra & Nellie, who spice up life daily! As a family, we love to travel, entertain in our home, and go on adventures. Our family’s core conviction and desire is to help people be who they are created to be in every aspect of their lives.

As a realtor, my number one priority is the people I get to serve.  My greatest joy in life is connecting people. If I don’t have the answer for you, I won’t stop until I find someone that does.  My desire to connect people shines in the home buying and selling process.

I’m passionate about all things real estate. Whether house hunting, staging, marketing, or just having a vision for what could be, I want to go the extra mile to make sure your needs and dreams are my top priority.
