“When we started the search for a realtor, the landscape felt noisy and daunting. A lot of options felt overly corporate or a bit soulless. Our research led us to Rachel Shaw at Philly Home Girls, and we are so glad it did.
Our situation was a little unique and honestly could have been frustrating on the receiving end. We were casually looking over a longer horizon with no immediate rush to buy and wanted representation as we learned the Philadelphia market from a distance. Rachel made the entire process feel effortless.
From our very first meeting, she took the time not just to understand what we were looking for, but to give us real perspective on the city. She listened closely to what we asked for while also bringing her intuition and experience to help us see possibilities we had not fully considered. In fact, we ended up with a property that aligned more with her instincts than where we originally thought we would start, and it turned out to be exactly right.
What I appreciated most was the complete lack of pressure. Rachel truly felt like a partner. When we were excited, she was excited with us. At the same time, she was a grounded and honest guide who brought thoughtful real talk to every conversation. She helped turn a big dream into tangible steps with a clear and realistic action plan.
Her communication was excellent throughout. She was consistently responsive, generous with her time, and a trusted sounding board as we worked through hypotheticals and navigated two rounds of offers. As a true expert in the market, she guided us on when to push, when to give, and how to make smart decisions that ultimately helped us land a fantastic property.
One of the things I loved most about working with Rachel was her genuine passion for Philadelphia. There was not a single neighborhood we explored where she did not have a story to share, a thoughtful recommendation, or a bit of local history that brought the area to life. It made the search feel personal and gave us even more confidence in the decisions we were making.
If you are looking for a realtor who is intuitive, honest, deeply knowledgeable, and truly invested in her clients, I cannot recommend Rachel Shaw and Philly Home Girls enough” J.B. | Google
