In 2019 the idea came to me to create a better functioning calibration laboratory. My focus was to improve the industry standard while adhering to national standards. In 2020, I received my accreditation from PJLA and at that time I was one of the youngest laboratory owners. In March 2020, our company received our first contract from Telomere Diagnostics. The business was opened during the start of COVID-19 and we weathered many challenges presented to small diverse businesses. JMCS has grown from a shared office space to a single office to a now 800 square feet lab space with a growing team of five. Today, we are the only LGBTBE calibration company in the United States offering accredited services of measuring devices.

My name is Rachel Tabak (originally Kardish). I am a realtor at Keller Williams Luxury. I want to share with you information about my commitment to providing excellent service, and a bit about myself. I am driven by a singular objective: to achieve results in real estate that make my clients happy. Whether that springs from hours spent researching for the perfect off-market property or developing a unique marketing and pricing strategy for my clients' homes, I ALWAYS put my client first. Client satisfaction, not commissions, is what drives me. I have developed my sales approach over the course of twenty-plus years as a sales professional, during which I worked for both family and publicly traded corporations in the United States, London, Paris, Milan, Jerusalem, and Shanghai, and traveled to 70 countries. Beyond my commitment to customers, I am committed to our community. I live in the West Valley with my husband, Jordan, and our two children Max (10) and Alexis (7). I serve on the Board of Directors of the Calabasas Chamber of Commerce, and the West Valley Warner Center Chamber of Commerce, where I lead the Young Professionals Network. From 2022-2024, I served on the Woodland Hills Neighborhood Council, and chaired the public safety group while also serving as the block captain for my Neighborhood Watch. I also serve on the board for T.H.E. Foundation for Las Virgenes schools. My ties to the West Valley run deep. I attended Round Meadow, A.E. Wright, and Calabasas High School, before matriculating to Wheaton College, the Sorbonne in Paris, and SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan, where I obtained my MBA. Through my public service and volunteer efforts, I have also developed relationships with many small business owners in and around our area, and happily serve as a resource to connect small businesses and trade professionals with my clients, friends, and family. I love to help other businesses succeed. I would love to help you succeed in buying or leasing a home you love, selling one you don't (😉), or investing in a home someone else will love too. If you or anyone you know needs or wants to move, I am available to help, share more information about my customer-first approach, and show you why many of my former clients have also become my closest friends.
