  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Rachel helped me buy my first home a few years ago. I had a pleasant experience and was happy with how the process went. So when I decided to upgrade to a bigger home this year, I asked for her help again. She was as amazing as ever, and helped me find a home that met all my needs. The process can be tedious and difficult in the current volatile market. That being said, she was professional and patient as we looked for the right home. She communicated very well and was upfront about the reality of certain homes, whether they were move in ready or would need some TLC. There are many good real estate agents out there that can do the job, but I would recommend Rachel specifically because she genuinely cares about her clients and their needs.

  • 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  Rachel went above and beyond to help me sell my house at a great price. She’s very knowledgeable and professional. She walked me through every step and shared insightful suggestions to get the most money. The suggestions on curb appeal and upgrades to the interior were what helped us get multiple quick offers.

  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Rachel did an outstanding job helping me with my home search. She always responded promptly, offered her expert knowledge, and provided information to me to help me make the best decisions possible. In addition to being very good at what she does, Rachel is also a kind, caring person. That makes a huge difference when making high stakes decisions. I could always tell she cared about me, and had the training and knowledge to give me the best service possible. Although I had to leave the area before purchasing a home, I am very grateful for the help Rachel lent me. I highly recommend her!

  • 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.

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.

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!!
