What Our Clients Have To Say

2/18/2024

Seller/Buyer

I met Rachael Sheller 23 years ago when she was canvassing my neighborhood for listings.  I was in a new relationship and had just had my daughter and two grandchildren move in.  My “retirement” home was bursting at the seams!  I needed to sell my house, find a larger house I could afford and get moved all before school started in a few short months!  Rachel got us through all the hoops that selling and purchasing property entails and supported us through the emotional ups and downs of the process.  We moved the week before school started in 1999 and she has maintained contact with us ever since.  Rachel is truly a realtor for life!

Rachel Sheller has helped myself and other family members to sell and/or purchase homes. Rachel knows what she is doing and does it well. I would recommend anyone wanting to sell or buy a home to have Rachel for their Realter. You would be in good hands.

Rachel has sold two homes for us. She did a great job in helping us get them ready to sell in order to get the most out of our sale! When we were looking for homes she stayed during the inspection and kept a close eye on everything. She works very hard for her clients and definitely goes the extra mile. Thanks Rachel.

Rachel Sheller absolutely saved my sanity and economic reality when she took the crappy old house I had inherited, showed me how to give it curb appeal then sold it without any fuss or problems for a much higher number than I dreamed could be possible!

 

Her knowledge, professional acumen and over the top joyous personality made the entire real estate transaction a delightful experience

She is a dream come true for anyone wanting to sell or purchase property.

Rachel Sheller and her Octavian team were absolutely wonderful with selling our home, we could not be happier with the results.  Rachel was there with us the entire time, using her years of knowledge, helping us every step of the way.  Beginning even before we were ready to sell Rachel was helping us begin the process, encouraging us to de clutter and other things necessary to get our house ready to sell for the best price.  Any questions we had we were given quick responses, she was always so very helpful.  We could not have asked for a better realtor.

Rachel did a great job in selling my house. She has a vast knowledge of marketing real estate. She has resources to help connect with individuals that can address any needs. Rachel is professional and friendly and very easy to work with. She is a good listener and is quick at answer any questions that come up. I was referred to Rachel by a personal friend of mine, since she is an expert in the Gresham and Damascus area. Rachel understands what needs to be done to complete a sale and she does the work. Rachel gets the job done. I can't thank her enough for working with me.

This is the second time I've used Rachel as my realtor, first time as a buyer, this time as a seller. Her knowledge and expertise in real estate is expansive and helped me with a lot of tricky issues at every step of the process. I will definitely be using her services in the future when I buy again.

Once again Rachel has made our selling experience a success from start to finish! This is the fourth time we've relied on her professional expertise to buy and sell houses, last year she helped to sell my parents home which followed with a purchase of a house for mom to live in, since that time she helped us close on two more houses. We trust Rachel completely for every detail of the process, she's consistently one step ahead and prepared for the unexpected problems as they happen, her prompt and friendly communication and professional guidance kept it positive with the least amount of stress and she always has a plan B in the works! The little "extras" she delivers are reminders that it's not just about the sale but it's also about making and keeping a friend. I absolutely recommend Rachel Sheller, she's thorough and persistant and gets the job done and I want to thank her and her team for making it happen for us again!

This was my second time using Rachel. The first time she helped me buy and this time she helped me sell my condo. I knew immediately I wanted to use Rachel as soon as I decided to sell. I had such a good experience with her the first time and this time was no different! She is so friendly, positive, and she just makes the whole process seem less stressful. She is always there to answer any questions you may have, no matter how dumb they may be, and she kept me updated every step of the way! This time I was ESPECIALLY grateful for her because we discovered my condos were non warrantable making the amount of lenders available to a buyer significantly less but Rachel literally right away already had a lender ready that could help us. And then during the closing process we ran into a few more bumps in the road and were in danger of not closing, but she did not ever give up and she did everything in her power to make it happen and IT DID! I can not even tell you how extremely comforting and helpful it was knowing I had a realtor that I could trust and count on during this whole process. And you can definitely count on Rachel. I will be using her again when I’m ready to purchase my next home for sure and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking to buy or sell! She is AMAZING at what she does!

Rachel is amazing the sale of our house was very complicated my boyfriend of 27 years pasted away in January and the sale was through a trust. We two party's of the trust were not getting along and Rachel handled that very well. If it wasn't for friends and family I could have never gotten the house ready for sale and poor Rachel having to listen to my complaining all of the time. But to make it short we were 10 days late putting the house on the market we had 3 offers in less than 48 hours we excepted a full price offer and Les would have been very proud of her so Rachel I give you an excellent rating thank you.

We have known and worked with Rachel for almost ten years, starting with our very first home purchase. She has always taken care of absolutely everything from start to finish, kept us on track and in the loop, and gone above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Her and her team provide the best level of service you could hope to get from a home buying/selling experience, regardless of what our budget was. Her knowledge and experience has continually proven to be a huge asset and makes an otherwise stressful process run as smoothly as possible. We have always appreciated her willingness to go to bat for us in every situation and that she has no problem fighting to make sure our best interests are upheld. She is the agent you want on your side and we are so grateful to her!

Rachel was referred to us by a family member who had used her to buy and sell houses. She lived up to the high standards we were told to expect. Rachel was enthusiastic about our search and eager to learn about our wants as well as things we did not want in a new home. She was always there to answer our questions. She gave us complete information and made sure we both understood what she was telling us. She was on top of all the complexities of purchasing a home for the first time in many years. Besides all this, she was pleasant and encouraging at all times. We highly recommend her!

Thanks to Rachel Sheller, my house just closed without a single hitch and for more money than I had hoped it would fetch! I met with Rachel early in the process, as I interviewed multiple realtors. Rachel stood out as the one realtor who was confident, enthusiastic, and genuinely interested in helping me on my journey to a new living situation. All along the way, Rachel supported and guided me as I sold my first house, after 18 years living there. She made recommendations for what to fix, what to leave alone, where to put my labor and love, and how to get the house ready to be put on the market. She worked with her team of amazing professionals to take beautiful pictures and created flyers, postcards and media pages that really made my house shine. The whole experience was easier than I had imagined with Rachel’s expertise—she held my hand and gave me regular reports about what she was doing behind the scenes and the feedback we were getting from showings and the open house. Once we got an offer, Rachel kept everything moving smoothly and efficiently and with the least inconvenience to me, as I was still living in the house. She gave me sage advice and communicated often via text and email to coordinate appointments, inspections and workers. I knew that I could contact her at any time with questions or concerns. I appreciated that decisions were always left up to me and I never felt pushed or pressured to follow her recommendations. But it was advice based on decades of experience, so I often did exactly what she said J In the end, I would recommend Rachel to anyone who loves their home and wants to find a new owner that is excited to buy it. Rachel is the best and I would be thrilled to work with her again in the future!

Realtors are continuing to evolve: most spend their evenings and weekends taking clients through Zillow listings or MLC potentials. But what do their days look like? Rachel and her team spend their days lining up specialists to assess potential problems, chasing down zoning info, etc. And waiting for radon tests and talking to other agents to get communications straight… she is solidly in your corner, with resources and community connections you didn’t even know you needed. She was a referral from a friend and we are happy to keep that going!

Rachel provided our family with exceptional expertise, knowledge, and negotiation skills throughout the process of selling our home. She was ready and available any time that we needed her assistance. Her support throughout the whole process ensured us that we knew what we were doing during each step of the sale. She took time to explain everything to us throughout negotiations and helped us to feel comfortable along the way. I do not believe that we would have had the success that we did in selling our home had it not been for Rachel being our relator.

Rachel made selling our fathers home a smooth and pleasant experience. She knew exactly what to do at every step of the process and gave us excellent guidance along the way. Specifically Rachel was extremely helpful and responsive. We could not have been happier working with her! She remained confident when we encountered challenges and always kept us on target. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone selling or buying a house, she is the ultimate professionals! Rachel put quality over quantity when it came to helping me and my sisters sell our fathers home.

I have had the pleasure of working with Rachel selling and buying a house. During both these transactions Rachel has been a great communicator.  As I was looking for a new home, Rachel was supportive and positive.  We looked at lots of homes.  Her advice was sound, both as an agent and as a businesswoman.  I now have a new home and already have seen the equity grow. I feel like I made a sound investment.  Thank you, Rachel.

She did a great job helping me buy my first home. I never knew a Real Estate agent could work so hard. She was looking out for me the whole time and steered me right. The best part might be that she laughed at my jokes, haha. I'm going to make her come to my Super Bowl open house party.

Rachel is a wonderful real estate agent. She recently helped me sell my mother's house. She is very knowledgeable and has a wide range of creative ideas to help sell your home. What I personally appreciated about Rachel was her communication, reliability, and advice. In my opinion what sets Rachel a part from other real estate agents, is her willingness to go the extra mile to help her clients. Like myself, you would be so fortunate to have her as your real estate agent.

From the initial contact of interviewing agents, my wife and I both knew we had found the right agent for us in our goal to sell our home. Initially Rachel laid out her game plan for the successful sale of our home and she stuck to that plan through the entire process. Rachel was adept enough to roll with whatever came our way and professional enough to quickly modify her approach with any wrinkle that came up during the sales process. Rachel's honesty and integrity were her key selling/representing features that impressed us. Rachel was able to walk us through every step of the process from culling excess furnishings to the final staging process which knowingly helped to successfully expedite the sales process. I would not hesitate utilizing Rachel's skills again, if I were ever to move again. I would highly recommend Rachel for the sale of your home knowing you have the process in very capable hands.

Rachel Sheller is the best realtor! She helped my parents sell and find their new home, helped my sister and her husband find the perfect home for their growing family, and now she helped my boyfriend and I find the perfect home. She kept us in our budget and gave us reality checks when we needed it. She listened to all of our needs and helped us keep our minds open to more options. We got into the perfect townhouse in a perfect neighborhood with an incredible park. She helped us get an offer in quickly and gave us some tips on how to perk up our offer without going over budget.

Our experience with Rachel was beyond what we had imagined in a Real Estate Agent. We wanted to take our time (by that I mean almost 1 year), to get comfortable with selling and relocating (out of state). Rachel knows the market, is very professional and incredibly patient and personable. We truly appreciated her communication style (direct) and suggestions on how best to show our home. Rachel guided us thru the entire process, set realistic expectations, even when the market was turning down, we knew we could trust her expertise, and so glad we did!!! We recommend Rachel to all our friends, families and even acquaintances that are in (or soon to be) in the market.

Rachel's guidance and expertise gave us the confidence we needed to move forward to sell their home and also purchase another home to relocate mom. We couldn't be happier with the professional, attentive help and guidance we received, Rachel was beside us for every step and answered all of our questions and kept us informed of the things we wouldn't have known to ask before problems could arise. The selling and buying process has was easier then we could have hoped thanks to Rachel, we didn't need to wonder what to do next because she was always one step ahead. I would highly recommend Rachel Sheller to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Rachel!!"

"We were extremely fortunate to work with Rachel as both our buying and selling agent. We did the two simultaneously, which was an adventure, to say the least. The entire time, Rachel was a consummate professional, the expert in our corner. She is always ready with advice and answers based on her wealth of expertise and experience. Those years in the industry have led to Rachel’s deep connections and insights throughout the process. At every point, she knew people to call and experts to engage. In addition, the only quality that outshines Rachel’s professionalism is her personality. From the moment we met her, Rachel treated us like old friends. She was empathetic, encouraging, and was always willing to crawl into whatever hole we were in with us, without judgement. No matter who we were working with (bank, buyer, seller, inspector, etc), Rachel was always an ally for us completely. Good luck on whichever aspect of this process you’re embarking. If you’re feeling lost or confused and looking for a friend and associate, give Rachel Sheller a call. You will not be disappointed."

"Rachel is the GOAT - Greatest of all Time! We were referred by a family friend, and couldn't be happier. Once you've got pre-approval and she knows you're serious, you are off to the races! We found a house VERY quickly and Rachel was a BULLDOG to ensure our offer was competitive and accepted. She knew just what to say to get the selling agent wrapped around her finger, and negotiated highly in our favor. She linked us with a phenomenal team, from mortgage broker to inspections and beyond, and the relationship she has with her colleagues and assistants is what made this a smooth process. Friends and family have been shocked at how quick, smooth, and pain-free our first home purchase has been. I'll never use another realtor if I can help it! Customer for life."

"Rachel was referred to me by a friend of my wife in November of 2020, right after my Mom passed away. As Personal Representative of my Mom's estate, I needed to get her house sold right away. I contacted Rachel and she explained in great detail her experience in the local market and in dealing with estates specifically. I explained that I had to move my brother out of the house before I could sell it, which, of course, she understood. As weeks turned into months, Rachel kept checking in with me and not only sent me valuable information on the market but also offered to help try and locate housing for my brother. Month after month through this she never lost her incredible enthusiasm for helping me, which I must say, really made a difficult time much easier. When he finally got moved in December of 2021 she helped me put together a timeline to get the house ready to go on the market. Everything went smoothly and right on schedule. The house went on the market January 28th, 2022, and after she showed the house tirelessly all weekend we had numerous offers above the asking price in less than 48 hours of going on the market! It was quite amazing. She went over all the offers with me and I accepted one that night.

Getting this house sold for the estate has been quite an ordeal. I don't see how I could've gotten through this without Rachel's expertise. I know I've said this a lot in the last month but "Thanks again, Rachel!"

"I just wanted to write and say thank you taking such good care of me in my time of need. When my cousin passed the end of April, I needed someone to help me with selling her home. Being that she and I were close. It was not an easy thing to do.
I must say you were at my disposal whenever I need your help getting through the process by answering questions, helping with getting through so much paper work and so kind and understanding with my losing a very close family member. I'm also so greatful that you did this in such a short time. I truly would be so happy to recommend you to anyone I know. But especially if they need someone special that can handle complicated business and still have the concerns of their client first. Thank you so very much for all your hard work."

We highly recommend her!"

"I don't know what else to say other than Rachel is a TRUE professional. She worked with us through the entire process of selling our house. From what to do to prep it as well as what not to do. She was always available to answer questions, provide feedback and to offer encouragement. We had interviewed a couple of realtors before we met Rachel. After visiting with her, my wife and I both knew she was the Realtor we wanted. We would both recommend Rachel without any reservation. She is really in your corner and is not afraid to provide honest feedback to let you know if you are going off course. We just sold our house and are now looking for another house. Yes, Rachel is our realtor for our new purchase as well. If you are looking to buy or sell your home, call Rachel. You will not be disappointed."

"Rachel Sheller helped us to sell a beloved home that we owned for 27 years. The house was very special to us and she handled our sale with great care. She was right there with us like a friend every step of the way. Rachel likes to make sure her clients are up to the moment on the progress of a home sale and she did an awesome job. We never had to wonder what was happening with any aspect of the transaction.

Rachel's expertise, intelligence and most of all, wonderful heart for people and homes goes far beyond any agent we have ever worked with. Rachel is now our agent for life and as she says, "it's a good life.

"We met Rachel as a recommendation from our good friends so we immediately knew we were in good hands. We were first time buyers and new the area so we didn’t know Portland very well. Rachel was so accommodating walking us through the process and her communication was fantastic. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and made sure we knew what the next steps were at all times once we found a place and made an offer. And she was just a lot of fun and such a pleasure to work with. In the end, she helped us get into the perfect first home for our family in north Portland. We’d highly recommend working with Rachel and we will absolutely do so again in the future. Thank you Rachel!!!"

"To say that Rachel helped me buy my first house is like saying my elementary school teachers helped me learn to read--she walked me through the process, completely negated any trepidation I had about the process, and truly helped me to enjoy buying a house. I'm not sure how to make this review not seem disingenuous because I was just so impressed with Rachel. I honestly would not consider working with any other realtor should I buy or sell a house. She was a delight to work with, has been so incredibly thoughtful with cards for holidays or what-have-you, and was never far away if I had questions or concerns. She was truly a friend first and a realtor second. You can't go wrong with Rachel. She's professional, sure, but she's thoughtful, cheerful, and just a truly good person. I wish her all the best, and hope anyone reading this thinks of working with her if you're planning on buying or selling a house--she won't do you wrong. Thank you, Rachel!!"

She was engaging and on-the-ball and always available whenever we needed her. She fought for us so we could get the house we wanted and we ended up getting a great deal with several repairs thrown in as well. Rachel is a talented agent and a true master negotiator.

We could not travel to Portland. Where I live has no internet, cell phones and slow mail service. We live about 1 ½ hours from town. With all this going on, Rachel made it all happen in a few weeks.

We were first time home buyers and Rachel took us under her wing and made this process an enjoyable one. My biggest worry was how quick we were going to find our place, we literally found our dream home on the second time touring houses. We were able to close within 30 days and she was with us every step of the way. She goes above and beyond for us that I am truly grateful. If anyone is looking for a realtor, please don’t look any further, Rachel will take care of you and find you the home of your dreams!"

"Rachel was a dream come true and was recommended by a very good friend. We were not at all disappointed in choosing her especially being first time home buyers. She is not only knowledgeable but will go out of her way to show that she is truly there for you. An example: We needed measurements inside the house we were purchasing and she was able to meet us within an hour. She went out of her way on a weekend to allow us in the house, we were purchasing to take measurements. Communication is key but with Rachel you will get so much more! I will be using her again when we go to sell."

"Working with Rachel to sell my Mom’s house was a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE from start to finish! At the very beginning she described all the major steps in the home sale process. She gave us excellent advice on things to do to get the house ready for listing. When we got EIGHT SOLID OFFERS she took plenty of time to go over the pros and cons of each one. Once the sale was “pending” she kept us posted as the appraisal, inspection, buyer’s loan, and escrow processes moved along. You hear lots of horror stories from buyers and sellers so I was prepared for things to “go south” but that never happened. There wasn’t a single glitch, hiccup, or surprise. While we don’t know everything that Rachel did for us, I know that when the “front-facing” things go that smoothly, it’s because Rachel was “behind the scenes” anticipating and attending to the ten thousand little details that are part of a sale."

Rachel helped us buy our first house in 2016, and this year helped us sell it for a great profit and buy our dream home! Not only is she insanely passionate about her career (which makes her fantastic at it), she’s both sweet and hilarious to top it off. I would recommend Rachel 100% of the time for anyway that wants a nice, smooth process!"

Seller & Buyer

"When we decided to find a new home that we could retire to and "age in place”, we contacted Rachel Sheller. At first we were only mulling over when and what we were thinking. This took us a couple of years at least before we were ready to actually make the move, but Rachel was patient.

We developed a pretty long list of what we were looking for in a new home, and decided that we would find the new home, get it ready, move, prepare the old place for resale, and then put it on the market in that order. This whole process took abut a year, but Rachel was ready to assist us at each stage.

Her knowledge of the market and legal processes was a great help in keeping us informed and preparing us for each step. Our repeated rejection of several houses didn't phase her in the least. She was able to take each house rejected and use that information to refine the search for the right house. And of course we did find that house.

Rachel had many good contacts for the professional help that we needed in inspecting the new house, arranging repairs on the old house and guiding us through the loan approval process and closing. We certainly would recommend her for anyone who is looking to find a new home. Her integrity, and knowledge of the local housing market along with her contacts basically provided a good clean transition into our new living arrangements."

"The weeks leading up to my Mothers passing she had told me on several occasions to contact Rachel Sheller and that she would not only sell her house for me but she would make sure that everything would go smoothly. Rachel was listed in my Moms final paperwork after her death naming her as the person she chose to sell her home. Rachel was more then just my Moms Realtor she became some one my Mom trusted and believed in. My Mom placed Rachel in my life for a reason. She not only has alot of knowledge, expertise, skills and responsiveness, she is also kind, honest, and hardworking. She keep me grounded during such a difficult and stressful time. My Mom was right to the end, Rachel took care of me and completed the job my Mom asked for her to do. And I got the sale price I was looking for! Rachel is truely good at what she does but she is also someone you want on your side, and ill cherish the time I spent with her."

She came over multiple times before our house went on the market, helping us stage and prep our home to sell quickly and what we wanted it to sell for. Her knowledge of the area, buys and sellers, and the market were a tremendous help to us! Rachel made us feel valued and important being responsive to any of our needs prior to going on the market, during the process and with closing on our house.

She helped me sell my home three years ago and was amazing, so when my boyfriend and I decided to look into buying a house I reached out to her knowing we’d be in good hands. Rachael’s integrity and kindness made the process comfortable, easy, fun, and stress-free as possible. This was very important to and Nels quickly become comfortable with her. She’s a strong negotiator with impressive follow-up skills, trust me – she’s on it like a dog with a bone. On more than one occasion he’d ask “does she ever stop?”. She has a network of professionals she works with to make sure scheduled deadlines are met. It’s evident Rachael has a heart for people, and a passion for making anyone’s real estate dreams come true. Choose Rachael, you’ll be glad you did"

She found a better deal for us on another. It had one bedroom more than the other and was 40 k less expensive on a quiet dead end. Good job Rachel! Just closed on our last home in Canby with her and couldn’t be happier. Rachel gets our most high recommendation for anyone’s home desires. Call her, she will do her very best , which could not be better."

That meant that Rachel had to deal with three different and strong personalities. Rachel was honest and upfront about what to expect with the sale of our condos. We really felt like we knew what was happening each step of the way. We are so happy to be in our new home and beyond thankful to Rachel for getting us here"

"I have worked with Rachel Sheller on four different home sales/purchases over the last five years. I recommend her regularly when someone tells me they are thinking of buying or selling their home. Of the people I have referred to Rachel, we have all had the same experience:
Rachel is:
• Consistent- she follows through with what she says she will do and then goes above and beyond. She caught several mistakes made by other parties in my transaction and helped to get them corrected.
• Flexible- She regularly has gone out of her way to make things happen for me when I am on a tight schedule.
• Communication- I hear horror stories of people working with agents that are bad about getting back to them. Rachel has a very short turn around when responding to my calls, emails, texts, She also is very detail oriented in how she walks people through each stage of buying and selling. Rachel is highly adaptable in her communication style... giving me lots of details when needed and only key bullet points when that's what I requested.
• Customer service: Rachel is caring and understanding. The nature of real estate is amazingly stressful. Rachel is a pro and understands this. Her level of customer service is outstanding.
• Referrals: Rachel comes so highly recommended that she is able to work off of referrals and returning clients. She is ranked in the top of her field. If you work with her, you will understand why she has achieved the reputation she has.
If you are considering buying or selling, I can't recommend Rachel enough"

Her knowledge of the market, contacts, and use of amazing listing techniques got us multiple full price offers in less than a week. You are never out of the loop or uninformed during the process. Rachel cares about you and walks you through every phase of the process. She's set the bar pretty high for us and what we've come to expect in an agent"

"Rachel is a long-time friend of someone in my family and came highly recommended. I had met Rachel once or twice socially and decided she was the one to help me sell my home.
I was in a little bit of a difficult situation when it was time to list and Rachel took very good care of me and my family. Selling your home is an emotional process and Rachel was with me every step of the way. Encouraging me and supporting every decision that needed to be made. In the end we had a very difficult buyer however Rachel walked me through every additional decision that needed to be made and genuinely cared how I was feeling in every conversation we had. When all was said and done I was able to sit back and be super thankful for not only the sale but the new friend and advisor I made. Thank you a million times Rachel!

"Thank you for all your help walking me through the process of selling my home and property. I thought it could not be done, but you proved me wrong. You explained everything about the process and contract. You were supportive and always a text, phone call or at my door. Either with an update, an encouraging word, or helpful instructions. You guided me through the septic test, well test, water test and all the other assessments. You made it easier.

Selling my home after many years was not only emotional, but a test of stamina and logistics. I could see you were serious about what you do. If anyone asks if I know who could help them with selling or buying a home, I would not hesitate to name you. Rachel Sheller is an honest, forthright real estate agent, who works tirelessly for her clients. Once again, thank you, so much."

Seller & Buyer

"I have had the extreme good fortune to work with Rachel Sheller 3 times under 3 different circumstances. I first encountered Rachel when she was representing the buyer as I was selling my parents' home/property. This was a rural property with an older home and some quirks as many rural properties tend to have. When issues came up which needed to be addressed, Rachel got right on the problem, came up with a way to address it and got the problem solved. I have never been so impressed with a realtor. I had only had bad experiences with realtors in multiple transactions in the past and went into this sale with lots of skepticism. It sure made the emotional sale of my childhood home a lot easier, especially since she had brought a buyer who was perfect for the property.

I was so impressed with Rachel that I sought her assistance when looking for an economical place to buy for my daughter to live in and eventually for her to purchase. Given the very hot local real estate market, there was not a lot available, but she found a property which fit what we were looking for and in a very short period of time. When my daughter decided she would like to follow her dream to live in a foreign country, I again sought Rachel out to assist in sale of the same property. In spite of a less than cooperative HOA and an "interesting" buyers agent, she again problem-solved, had resources available to provide needed assistance with issues which were impairing the sale and helped get a swift sale above the asking price.

Rachel is professional through the entire home sales/buying process and shows true enthusiasm for her work. She clearly knows the local market inside and out as well as the legal requirements in the real estate sales process. I could not be more impressed with the job she had done in these real estate transactions. On top of everything, she is just a great human being!"

Vereleta Stewart

"Rachel recently guided us through the process of buying our first home, and her expertise, commitment, and tenacity were invaluable from start to finish. We came into this process with a lot of questions and very little knowledge of what to expect along the way; from our first meeting with Rachel, she provided us with a lot of clarity and communicated to us what each step of our home search and purchase would look like. With each house that we looked at, Rachel helped us not only define our priorities more clearly but also identify areas where we were willing to be more flexible. She was able to do this without ever being pushy or pressuring us into making decisions; she intuitively knows how to advise and guide while respecting buyers’ opinions and feelings.


Throughout our home purchasing experience, I have always felt confident in Rachel’s abilities and trusted her feedback. In addition to being first time homebuyers, we were looking for home with a budget that was at a competitive price point at a time when the housing market was not very favorable to buyers. Before purchasing what is now our home, we began the process of purchasing another house, which we had to back out of at the inspection stage. This was incredibly stressful and disappointing, but Rachel provided us with sound advice along with kind encouragement as we restarted the search process. After this, Rachel helped us navigate the complexities of purchasing a foreclosure, which was no small feat. She advocated for us to ensure that we were getting a fair deal and to get repairs done in the house before we moved in, and she communicated with us daily to make sure we were informed of every development. Without her, I truly don’t know how we would have made it
to the home buying finish line. Beyond her extensive knowledge and formidable skills, Rachel is generous, funny, and kind. Her positive spirit and determined attitude make her a pleasure to work with, and I can’t recommend her highly enough."

"Looking for the home of your dreams? Rachel is amazing!! When I heard about a friends experience buying their first home I knew I needed Rachel as my real estate agent! As a first time home buyer knowing little about the process, my boyfriend and I were nervous about all the little details. Rachel  educated and guided us through the entire buying process and provided helpful information to us in our first meeting. She’s very professional ,personable, and a go getter! We found our dream home within a few weeks with persistent searching. With the competitive market, we were nervous about making our offer. Rachel made sure to prepare our offer putting our best foot forward which ultimately got us the home! I couldn’t be happier with our entire experience and would recommend anyone looking to find their dream home to Rachel."

"I always knew if I were ever to sell my home I would have Rachel do it. Her reputation precedes her!
Rachel knows her stuff. She knows who to call and how to get it done. You have questions Rachel gets answers. Dedicated and knowledgeable. And nice!!
She stuck with it and made it all work and was there with a shoulder to cry on if needed. And after all that found a perfect new home and literally made it happen. You won’t go wrong with Rachel. She gets the job done and becomes a friend in the process.

Love ya Rachel!"

"I had thought about selling my home in Milwaukie for some time but never really got off the couch and did anything about it.


One day after work I took a drive to the area that I wanted to live and found a few homes for sale. I had searched for a house with land, as I was looking for a little piece of earth to raise my family. We lived in suburbia and I commuted all my life; I was ready for a change. The house I was looking at was located in Boring Oregon on a great piece of land and was being sold by Sheller Real Estate, Oregon First. On my way home after work I called the number on the sign and that is when I was first introduced to Rachel Sheller! We talked for a good half hour and the great energy and vibe I got from that one conversation; I knew that I wanted this person to represent my family and myself in this HUGE life undertaking.


My wife, kids and I met Rachel for the first time at my home in Milwaukie. We sat down and went through the usual proceedings of a home sale and Rachel was very informative, upfront, and honest. After deciding on a sale date, we all rolled up our sleeves and went to work. If you have never sold a home you are in for a rollercoaster ride. My wife and I went through emotions of stress, happiness, sadness, and fear but through it all Rachel made sure that we were always comfortable. We sold our home within the timeline promised and we were very satisfied with Rachel’s performance and professionalism that we continued our journey with her to buy our next family home.


The move was strange for us all. We had moved back into my parents basement and the kids were on summer vacation. Each day I had my Zillow and Trulia feeds going and at moment’s notice Rachel was always willing to go show us a home whether it was morning or night. At times living with my parents again would strike the fear in me that I needed to find a home sooner rather than later, but Rachel would always reel me back and assure me that the right home would come along. Rachel just wasn’t our realtor she became much more. Beyond the business side to her she was very down to earth and wouldn’t pass judgment no matter what you had to say. Selling and buying a home is probably a top 5 in your life that can make and break a person, because if it’s your actual home you leave a lot of emotions on the table. If I had to do it all over again, Rachel Sheller would be by my side.
Thank you Rachel"

"Working with Rachel was a complete Godsend. I met her at an open house she was holding and I immediately felt a connection with her. We talked a lot and she listened to all the crazy needs my family had. She walked a long road with us and eventually helped us find our dream home. Rachel is so professional and helped us navigate some pretty rough spots. When I was weary from the process, Rachel reassured me that everything was going to work out just fine. Rachel is one of the hardest working people I know. She is so passionate about her work and it shines through in every aspect of what she does. Her professionalism and passion make her stand out in the sea of realtors."

"I would like to thank Rachel Sheller for listing and selling our house in Pleasant Valley. They always say give your business to a busy person who gets things done in record time. The inspection report listed some items that needed attention before the sale went through. We needed help from several contractors and I live in Florida. No problem within days Rachel had rounded up the contractors and the work was done on time and the sale safely closed. I called Rachel the diplomat because she knew how to speak to the contractor and the purchaser's agent in a way that kept everyone happy.

Thank you,"

"Rachel was wonderful! We have 1 year old twins, one with medical issues, and are so busy all day, every day The idea of selling, moving, and buying was very intimidating for us. Rachel was incredibly patient with us and so understanding of our needs. She took away much of the stress by explaining everything, answering my numerous questions, and being so supportive when I was getting anxious. She was very proactive for us, gave honest advice, and was such a great advocate for us. She was always in contact, kept us up to date on everything, made us feel like a priority. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking to buy/sell a home. We loved working with her!
Thank you:)"

"OK where should I begin

Rachel may have had thousands of clients in her career, but I think we could be put in the top 20 for most challenging clients and keeping her on her toes.
She was very patient and understanding when we had pulled offers on three separate homes. We were aware this takes time to prepare offers
and she is putting her reputation of many years on the line with our instant change of decisions.

In the end she really understood we needed to find the right home that felt comfortable for me and more important my wife...which is another story.

Rachel took charge on the small details that need to be covered and demonstrated she always has her clients best interest. One example is on our closing with a seller there were a number of repairs that were not completed. Rachel took it upon herself and called the contractors to confirm the repairs would be made. she even went a step further and found one of her own contractors to replace a window that the seller told their realtor that it was in the process of being replace. Which was not the case, in my opinion the sellers Realtor should share some of her commission for what Rachel did to help with the repairs.

I have never recommended a realtor to someone, that is the truth but I keep Rachel's card in my wallet to give to anyone looking for a relator that has a passion to please her clients.

Best Regards"

"We don't have enough nice things to say about Rachel!! She truly went above and beyond and helped us find the perfect home in no time. She walked us through every step and was always available to answer questions we had. Buying a house isn't always an easy process but Rachel made it feel like a breeze. Without Rachel we would not of been able to buy our first home. Rachel is the absolute best in the business!!"

"Rachel really showed up for us! It was a challenging and nerve racking adventure, but she went above and beyond. The buyer’s agent was new, and needed handholding. The buyers kept changing loans, and pushing all the way to the end. Rachel remained steadfast and got the deal done and closed on time! Whew! She really knows her business and was there for us at every turn. No one wants a messy deal, but if you end up in one it’s great to have Rachel on your team. She’s patient, considerate, effective and professional all the way!"

"I can never thank Rachel Sheller enough for steering us through the most difficult sale imaginable. It seemed almost every day some new demand was added or some old demand was changed. But Rachel stayed calm, informed and professional throughout the entire process, even taking on some of the buyers' agent's duties because, frankly, he was in over his head. With every new roadblock Rachel was on top of the situation, with knowledgeable advice and firm negotiating. In the end, we made it, even closing on time. Rachel, you are something special. To anyone out there looking for a first class agent, look no further. Rachel Sheller will do the job for you.

"Rachel was referred to us in late fall of 2016. My husband and I purchased and sold multiple homes in the past 12 years, and when we met Rachel it was immediately apparent that she knows her business well. Rachel was a true professional throughout the process of selling our home. We were previously frustrated with the lack of results from another realtor, and when we hired Rachel she got the job done. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is extremely communicative and motivated. She makes things happen!"

"I knew I’d be selling my beautiful, but sad home soon after my divorce was finalized. I also knew that Rachael would be the the one I could trust. Our sons played baseball together several years back and during that time I witnessed her genuine caring heart on many occasions. My decision was justified when she came by to do a walk thru, suggesting things to do to prepare the house for listing, her words “you can do this, I got you”. Not only did she pay attention to detail regarding my home, but on the day she came to take photos she was wearing a elephant pendant, I love elephants and she said she wore it for me...it’s the little things.

My house was being sold as-is and the offer we accepted was FHA in the beginning so the process took more time. This was ok, I was not in a hurry and definitely needed the time. She addressed any question or concern I had with her expertise and if I wasn’t sure about a decision I needed to make, I knew she had my back and
could count on her advice. Rachael understood my situation and treated me with kindness and respect. From start to finish she keept me informed and updated throughout the entire process, making a task I dreaded smooth and effortless on my part.

I highly recommend Rachael to anyone needing real estate services. Rachael has more than exceptional skills at selling a home, she has a genuine heart and a love for people. She will work magic...she did for me! Thank you Rachael!"

"Thank goodness we were referred to Rachel by a friend! From start to finish in our selling and buying process, Rachel has been efficient, informative, extremely responsive to our questions and needs, and just a joy to work with. Our house sold almost immediately, thanks to her marketing skills. I am so grateful that we had Rachel to guide us through this process since we haven’t purchased a home in 39 years! I would absolutely recommend Rachel to ANYONE who’s interested in buying or selling.
Happy new home owners,"

"We were thrilled to have Rachel Sheller as our Realtor when selling our home. She responded very quickly to every email, text and phone call, gave us great advice, and got us a solid offer in just 4 days. While selling our home she was out showing us multiple homes in the Portland-Metro area. I believe she showed us around 20. Once we found our home. She acted fast and thought to ask for things we wouldn't of thought of. She works VERY hard for her clients and best of all, gets results!

Rachel worked with us through the purchase of a new home and sale of our existing home. She quickly learned what we wanted and had a list of properties that night. She directed us in what we needed to do to sell our existing home and it sold very quickly for over the asking price. Selling a home is a daunting ordeal and Rachel made it very seamless. For every small detail that came up Rachel had an answer or got one at the earliest. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family."

She’s a rockstar advocate to have on your side of the table. Her tenaciousness secured our house for us over five competing offers and her career’s worth of connections and willingness to make all the arrangements helped the inspection process move quickly and smoothly. We are so glad that we were referred to Rachel, and will be forever thankful for everything she did to help us get into our first home

"My husband and I were referred to Rachel Sheller by a friend.
Despite several warm phone calls and emails back and forth with Rachel, I was still very anxious about meeting another realtor. Our previous experience with a different realtor was unpleasant, to say the least.
From the moment I met Rachel in person, I knew she was the right person to help us purchase our first home. She greeted us with a huge smile and gave us both a big hug. Every time we've met, she's been as warm and genuine as she was that first day.
Rachel completely knows the ins and outs of the VERY complex world of real estate. She knows exactly what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and has no problem taking care of business.
We ran into a couple of snafus during the buying process and Rachel was quick to offer suggestions, find solutions, and get things straightened out. She is direct and firm without being overbearing and pushy.
We absolutely recommend Rachel for anyone looking to buy a home and we are planning to work with her again for future purchases."

"Just wanted to write a note to say thank you for everything – we know we would not have had the offer accepted on our dream home if we had ben represented by another agent! You told us to trust you and you absolutely stuck to your word! I still don’t know how you convinced the buyer to take a big risk on us versus the multiple cash offers she had received. You were able to build a relationship with the seller and get her comfortable with the risk level of our offer and overcome some major (and very valid) obstacles from her perspective. This very competitive market requires creative thinking and a personal connection and you brought both of those things to the table in order to secure our deal. It’s clear now why you come highly recommended and are so productive!

Thank you again!!!"

"Gets results! That would be the best way to describe our experience with Rachel. Rachel was not even our agent, she was the agent to the buyers of our home. From the very start she worked hard for her clients & helped us along the way as well - we had many offers on our home the first week it was listed - Rachel went the extra mile for her clients which in turn resulted in us excepting their offer over many others - we have bought and sold many homes in our life and by far Rachel has the most skill & know how to get results that makes everyone happy - she didn't just work hard for all parties involved she worked "smart" that's the only way I can put it - I would recommend her at the very top of my list for any real estate needs.

When it recently came time to sell the house we did not hesitate to list with Rachel.Not only did we get more for our property than we anticipated but the whole process was completed smoothly even though it was a long distant transaction.

Thank you again Rachel for your hard work and dedication."

"I am honored to give Rachel Sheller this letter of recommendation. Rachel has worked with myself and my family on various real estate transactions over the past 15 years. She most recently worked with my daughter and her husband to sell their home and with purchasing another home and assisted me in the purchase of a new home.

Rachel demonstrates integrity and extensive knowledge when working with clients. Her knowledge of the current market and her work ethic shortens the duration a property remains on the market saving both time and money. She is sensitive to the needs of her clients and works hard to achieve their goals. She continues to work even after the papers are signed to ensure your experience from beginning to end is a successful and pleasant experience. I will continue to choose to work with Rachel for my real estate needs and have referred her often to family and friends.

I am confident Rachel can successfully assist you, too!"

It was a relief and even a joy to partner with someone who was responsive, communicated clearly, did what she said she would when she said she would do it and took a proactive approach to everything rather than having to be prodded along. She made it easy for me and made sure I understood each step along the way. I will be recommending her to everyone whether or not they currently need a realtor!"

She found a house for my son's family a few years ago as well as for myself & daughter & grandson in 2015. I can't say enough about how sincere she is. A genuine person who truly cares about her clients; securing the perfect house for them, while balancing that with selling my former house; she was helpful, effective, thoughtful & persistent with some very tough decisions & negotiations.
When asked how I found this gem of a house; I tell people;
The TRUTH; Rachael found it for me!
I can never express enough gratitude for all she does & continues to do for me & my family. She is truly a Gem!"

Not only did she help me with everything that needed to be done step by step she also helped me stage my home and had it sold within 2 days of listing for more than asking. I couldn't have asked for a better Agent to work with. She truly was a blessing to me in both ends of the buying/selling spectrum and if I still lived in Oregon she would've been my agent on my new home as well. I would recommend her to anyone!!

Thank you for everything Rachel!"

I would like to thank you again for giving us peace of mind thru your hard work when helping us sell our several units when we were dealing with our short-sales condos. While not having you representing us in our transactions we had waisted so much time with lawyers and bank officers. But. with you diligence and hard work and excellent follow thru We did it.

"Rachel Sheller is a very good real estate agent. She is caring, honest, hardworking, precise, and she has integrity. She handled our case, which turned out to be very complicated, with the upmost in confidence and professionalism. She always cared, not just about our house and getting it sold, but also about us as a family and people. We really enjoyed working with her, and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You will not be sorry if you hire her. She is the only good decision we have made in years!! Our house has not sold yet, but that was not due to any fault on her part. When she initially listed our house, we had two offers on the very first day, and accepted one of the offers. The legal errors that occurred kept our house from selling, and after four months she still hung in there with us. Rachel is in the process of doing a short sale for us, and we have the upmost in confidence that she will be able to get the job done. Rachel did whatever was needed at the time we needed it, and kept the buyers apprised of what was happening. She is a gem, and we are really happy with her!"

"I can not say enough good things about her and the service she provided. She helped my family purchase our first home.

She makes you feel like you are the most important person in her busy schedule. She always made time to answer all our numerous questions. If she didn't have an answer (which was rare) she was honest, told us, and would get us an answer asap.

She kept us well informed of our rights, the laws, and always explained to us what we were signing. She made us feel confident and secure during a very scary time for us. Buying a home is a huge commitment. She showed us a few houses before we found the one we wanted to make an offer on. She was up-front with all the homes we looked at and pointed out problems or issues. She made sure we were well educated. She was focused on us and our needs. NOT making a sale and collecting a paycheck on a house that wasn't right for us.

When we did find our dream home we encountered a few issues, at not fault of Rachel's, and she offered great advice that was 100% true and correct.

She put so much time and effort into us and our dream of owning this particular home. She negotiated repairs that we NEVER thought would happen. I feel anyone else would have gave up and told us to move on and start looking for a different home. However, she realized how much we loved this house and she fought for us!

She always made a point to call, text, or email with any new news or information within minutes of getting the information herself. We always felt informed and "in the loop".

When we didn't hear back from the seller in a timely fashion she pushed and pushed. She got the job done and didn't allow our deal to fall through the cracks or be ignored.

WE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS HOME IF IT WASN'T FOR RACHEL, HER DEDICATION, HER KNOWLEDGE, HER EXPERIENCE, AND THE PRIDE SHE HAS FOR HER PROFESSION.

I am and will continue to refer ALL my family, friends, and anyone else that will listen, to Rachel. We know they will be in great hands.

Lastly I would like to say, my husband is a disabled combat veteran. If you happen to be serving or a veteran of the US military... Well, Rachel has a special place in her heart for you and your family. :-)

Good luck and happy home hunting!

Most Sincerely,"
