See What Our Clients are Saying:
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Racheallee on several projects, and her performance has been nothing short of exemplary. What sets her apart is not just her expertise in luxury real estate but also her remarkable adaptability. No matter the situation, she faced the challenge with determination to get the job done.
Her professionalism defines excellence. She’s not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about her work, which shines through in her leadership and her philanthropic endeavors. Racheallee leads with empathy, and her commitment to community causes is as genuine as her dedication to her clients.
What I’ve always admired about Racheallee is her responsive nature and how she prioritizes the concerns of others. She’s incredibly people-minded, a trait that has earned her deep trust and respect. Her clients always come first, and she’s tirelessly committed to their satisfaction.
In your search for that perfect property, I know that Racheallee will work tirelessly to provide you with the best possible experience; I’ve seen her do it. Her blend of market savvy, personal attention, and integrity is what has kept her as one of the top professionals in the city. I can say she’s definitely worth your time, cause she values your time and puts the effort into demonstrating it.
Racheallee is a consummate professional. She helped my family close a very challenging condo sale in Pittsburgh. She was there every step of the way and guided us through the entire process. She is great at what she does and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Pittsburgh area looking for help with real estate!
Racheallee has helped me throughout the entire home selling and buying process on more than one occassion. She is a wonderful negotiator, has the client’s best interest at heart, and always follows through with professional recommendations and advice. I highly recommend her expertise as you navigate the world of residential real estate. She’s one of the best!
I recently purchased a condo in the downtown area and was directed to talk with Racheallee by someone who knew her. It was very difficult for me to find a realtor that knew this market well, and after talking with Racheallee for 5 minutes I could tell that she was an absolute expert in the space. She knew the histories of just about every building that I was looking at as well as the pluses and minuses of not only the buildings, but also the neighborhoods themselves. This kind of information is gold for someone considering buying a unit anywhere in the downtown Pittsburgh area. She also immediately came across as having a high level of integrity and that kind of thing is also gold when looking for a real estate agent. I was unfortunately already in an agreement to use another realtor (these kind of contractual obligations I was also unaware of), otherwise I would have absolutely hired Racheallee. If you are looking to purchase a unit anywhere in the Pittsburgh area, but especially in the downtown area, you will be dealing with a true expert with years of experience if you hire Rachealle, I can’t recommend her enough!
We randomly came across Racheallee when looking to purchase a condo in Pittsburgh several years ago. It was obvious from the beginning that she was extremely knowledgeable of the Pittsburgh area and the real estate market. Since that meeting we’ve purchased and sold 2 homes with Racheallee over the past few years. She’s very professional, extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and a true pleasure to work with. Racheallee’s knowledge of the Pittsburgh real estate market is second to none and her & her team are always available to answer questions or provide informed advice that is tailored to your personal needs…. It is without hesitation that we recommend Racheallee and her team!!!
Racheallee is a hard working, well connected real estate professional. She is also an active Board member of the Downtown CDC and Strip District Neighbors where she works and lives. I would trust her implicitly with my real estate needs.
