  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Rachel is a caring and trustworthy realtor. She became a part of the family. We have used Rachel to buy two houses and to sell two houses. If we were to come back to the area, there would be no one else to call but Rachel. Rachel took care of us every step of the way in all four experiences. She was knowledgeable and answered every question. She knew what we were expecting when selling and knew what we were looking for when buying. Rachel is there to serve you! The best realtor we have ever had.

  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Rachel Shepherd helped us sell our property quickly and far above our original price estimates. We interviewed several realtors prior to choosing Rachel and we're glad we did - she seemed more interested in serving our best interests and her sentiment followed-through to tangible value for us as customers. We'll use her again in the future.

  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Rachel did an excellent job finding me my first home. Her positive attitude and willingness to adapt to different situations made her stand out above everyone else. Rachel is also equipped with a numerous amount of resources that aided us our search and her communication was excellent throughout the whole process. I could reach her at all hours of the day or night no matter the occasion. I highly recommend her as your realtor due to not only her professional manor, but also due to her ability to be a good mentor and friend.

  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Outstanding Real Estate Pro with impressive local knowledge. Rachel was extremely helpful in quickly selling our home. We did an open house on a Saturday and Sunday and asked for all offers to be presented on the following Monday. We had 40 people walk thru the home over the 2 days which resulted in 13 offers. The home sold in 3 days and 70K over asking. Rachel was instrumental in helping us review the offers and in preparing the house for the open house. She is a very personable individual and I would highly recommend her as an agent. Additionally she screen the people to make sure the offers were valid. I would use her again (five stars)

She went above and beyond helping us through each transaction, making sure we were well informed of each step and getting us the best offer. She is highly knowledgeable, professional and very personable. If you are in the market, Rachel is the top choice!Response from the ownerThank you!! Julian EvansJulian Evans ★★★★★ Rachel is a fabulous and amazing Real Estate Agent. She helped me find a place that I can call home and was diligent with all communication and paperwork. Very bright and bubbly personality and a Rock Star!Response from the ownerThanks, appreciate you! Eric KurzhalsEric Kurzhals ★★★★★ I am a demanding client, and my experience with Rachel was absolutely top notch. She is the best realtor I've worked with, bar none. Rachel was referred to me by a long-time business associate I trusted, and she far exceeded my expectations, both in buying and selling. She is creative and 100% all in!What makes Rachel so special? Many things. In negotiations, Rachel represented me perfectly and helped me land a great deal on my new home. She came up with creative ideas that appealed to the sellers' needs, and together we were able to present an offer that was accepted below market pricing. Even after I've moved in, she has been there with multiple recommendations for local contractors who have saved me money and done great work.I was equally impressed in the sale of my home. Rachel's taste and included staging service is worth its weight in gold - my empty home turned into a model, with a new layout I had not even imagined. Her remarkable work on social media, including a very creative videography campaign, generated a tidal wave of interest. During our listing and open house weekend we had a potential buyer every 3 minutes (more than 120 over two days, with cars lined up and down the street). My home ended up in a bidding war, selling at $160K over list, far higher than any past sale in my neighborhood.Response from the ownerThank you so much, appreciate the kind words! Debbie BartlettDebbie Bartlett ★★★★★ Working with Rachel is wonderful. She is very personable, knowledgeable about the business process as well as the selling area, and goes above and beyond to make sure her homes sell quickly and getting top dollar. I wanted part of my home staged to have that first impression be 'Wow'. Most agents hire a 3rd party to stage which sometimes drives up costs. Rachel handles that service herself and is excellent at it. In doing my research, I saw how hard she worked for other clients and got top dollar for them. She had everything I was looking for in an Agent. I highly recommend her.Response from the ownerThanks Debbie! Timothy SmithTimothy Smith ★★★★★ My wife and I highly recommend Rachel. We were able to sell our house within three days and above asking price. Rachel was very helpful in staging the house and helping us get ready for the sale.Rachel also helped us evaluate the offers we received and validate the purchasers were qualified.Would use her again to sell our house.Response from the ownerThank you!!
