It was a pleasure working with Rachel at every stage of the homebuying process. Her deep knowledge of the DC real estate market, housing stock, and trends in the field were real assets as we searched for a new home for our growing family. When we found the perfect listing, Rachel’s dedication and negotiation skills ensured that our offer came out on top. It was a whirlwind process, and Rachel was such a steady presence, helping us navigate stacks of forms, reviews, phone calls, and financial checks – she truly made it easy. We’re planning on being in this home for a long time, but if another move is in our family’s future, Rachel will be our first call!

Rachel was so great to work with as first-time home buyers! She took the time to walk us through every step of the process in a clear and thoughtful way, so that we knew what to expect and could move quickly as is often required in the DC market. Rachel was always available to answer our (many) questions and explain the details which made us feel more comfortable throughout the process. Her relationships within the industry truly made a difference and helped us ultimately purchase our dream house! We highly recommend Rachel, especially for anyone buying their first home.

Working with Rachel to buy our first home (Montgomery County, MD) was one of the best and smartest choices we've ever made. Rachel came highly recommended after helping a family member purchase and manage a property in DC. From the moment we reached out to Rachel, we felt 100% supported -- Rachel took the time to hear our goals, understand our priorities, curiosities, and worries, and to empower us to make the best choices for ourselves along the way. When we fell in love with a home that was priced to sell, she moved quickly to help us prepare a solid offer that we felt comfortable with. She coordinated inspection consultations and connections with lenders offering competitive rates; all while clearly translating next steps and options so we felt confident in our decision making. As we come up on one year since closing, I can still remember her calling to tell us "It's yours if you want it!" We sure did. We still look around in love with our first home, excited to keep making it our own, and with gratitude for an exceptional realtor who made it happen. 15/10 would recommend.

Rachel went above and beyond to help us secure our dream home. She knew what to look for in terms of workmanship and quality in each of the houses we looked at, and provided insight that helped us make the call on the right home for us. She was always super responsive and diligent about following up. You are in great hands with Rachel. I cannot recommend her enough!

2024-09-17T00:00:00.000Z

From the very first phone call, Rachel made the entire process simple and pain free, providing detailed information well in advance for every step we would go through, and whenever we had an urgent need or additional question, she always made herself available. As daunting of an experience as we expected headed into selling our home and finding a new one, Rachel flipped the script and made this all truly easy.

2024-07-28T00:00:00.000Z

We worked with Rachel to both buy and sell. She is simply the best. She took the time to deeply understand exactly what we were looking for, used all of her many connections and negotiating skills to help us get it and was always super responsive along the way. Could not recommend more.

2024-07-24T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel is fantastic! As a first time homebuyer, she thoughtfully explained every aspect of the buying process and was available day and night for any and every question. Three years later, I still go to Rachel for referrals and look forward to buying my next place with her! I cannot recommend Rachel enough.

2024-07-18T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel was an incredible partner in our home buying process. As first time homebuyers, she was with us every step of the way and helped guide us through an incredibly competitive bidding process to land our first home. Not only that, but after the sale she was an invaluable resource, connecting us with service providers to help make the home our own. We can’t recommend Rachel enough!!

2024-07-17T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel was a huge help for us as first time homebuyers. She was knowledgable about all of the neighborhoods we were looking at and really had her finger on the pulse of the market. As we gave feedback on the places we saw, Rachel heard and processed it and helped to really narrow our focus for what we were looking for in a home. Because of her amazing reputation and rolodex, we got into several homes before they went to market including the home we eventually purchased, giving us a real leg up on other buyers. When we made our first offer, Rachel made the process as seamless as possible and when we were outbid on the offer, Rachel maintained contact with the sellers so that when the deal fell through, we could move in swiftly to purchase the home. We would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a true professional with great knowledge and connections, who will be there for you at any time, and will think of your family's home search as she would her own.

2024-07-13T00:00:00.000Z

We are so grateful we had Rachel by our side when we bought our first home. As first time homebuyers, she took the time to learn about our needs and goals, teach us how to look at properties, and walk us through the buying process. She is kind, direct, patient, and knowledgeable and her incredible responsiveness ensured we were able to view any listing usually within hours of finding it. Looking at properties with Rachel was always fun and informative. She clearly identified issues and highlighted positives for our needs and future resale. When the perfect house for us came on the market, Rachel got us in that day and we had an offer in two days later. Thanks to her guidance, we felt confident to move quickly, negotiate, and ultimately purchase our home for under list price despite another offer. Even now as homeowners, Rachel is still there for us. Working with her was the best decision we made - highly recommend!

2024-07-12T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel has been our go-to for buying and selling our homes and has made the process on both ends seamless. She truly was our best advocate and counsel and was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and committed to helping us find our dream home. She is always on top of the many moving pieces and dynamics with other sellers, contractors, etc and throughout all of it, she keeps her clients calm, cool and collected. Can’t recommend her enough and grateful to have her in our corner.

2024-07-12T00:00:00.000Z

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel when looking for our new home, after she helped us sell our home. From day one, she was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what we were looking for. All throughout the negotiations and closing she was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. Her knowledge of the area, the buying and selling process, as well as her referrals for any services we needed, made our lives so easy! We can’t thank her enough for being by our side the whole time! If the time ever comes when I will be looking for a new home, there isn’t any question on who our Realtor will be!

2024-07-11T00:00:00.000Z

My partner and I had the great pleasure of working with Rachel Levey (Compass) during our recent home purchase in Washington, D.C., and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Rachel's expertise, patience, dedication, and amazing sense of humor truly sets her apart. From our initial consultation to the closing of our home, Rachel demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of the local market trends and neighborhoods. Her insightful guidance allowed us to explore various options (over 25 home visits!) that matched our preferences perfectly. She patiently answered all our questions and provided valuable insights into each property we visited, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Rachel’s professionalism and commitment to her clients are remarkable. She was always responsive and proactive in addressing any concerns we had, ensuring that every detail was meticulously handled. Her negotiation skills are top-notch, and I felt confident knowing she was representing our best interests at every step of the way. Moreover, Rachel’s network of industry contacts, including lenders and inspectors, proved invaluable in expediting the closing process. Her thoroughness and attention to detail ensured that no aspect was overlooked, which was instrumental in finalizing the deal smoothly. If you're looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, Rachel Levey is the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a seamless and rewarding real estate experience in the DMV area.

2022-10-01T00:00:00.000Z

Working with Rachel couldn’t have been a more positive or rewarding experience. She took the time to understand what I was looking for, sourced a number of impressive finds, and ultimately helped me find and negotiate a great price on a place I love. Highly recommend, and fully intend to work with Rachel if/when I look for my next place.

2022-09-28T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel helped our family find a house that checked all our boxes. And all while my wife, son and I were spending the winter somewhere warm and buying remotely. She was always available to talk with us and without her, I don't think we would have found our dream house in such a competitive early 2022 DC market. Thanks, Rachel!

2022-09-26T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel is an excellent realtor and I highly recommend her. We have worked with her to buy two homes and sell one, and in each case she worked hard to make our experience as easy and pleasant as possible. We especially appreciated all the services her team provided such as staging, painting and cleaning. Her recommendations for contractors and other service providers were always top notch. She goes the extra mile for her clients, and it pays off!

2022-09-19T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel is truly amazing and stands out in a very crowded field of realtors. She made my first home buying experience far less stressful than it could have been in the highly competitive 2021 real estate market here in DC. Rachel listened to exactly what my partner and I were looking for in our first home and paid close attention to our budget before recommending a condo that was just about to come onto the market. It was perfect for us and because of Rachel we were able to make an offer before it ever went on the market. When making our offer, she took her time to help us put forth a competitive offer that we felt good about. I recommend Rachel to friends who haven't even started looking for a home yet just so they know before the process even starts that they should go to Rachel. She is the absolute best and I can't thank her enough for helping me get the first home of my dreams!

2022-09-18T00:00:00.000Z

My spouse and I bought our first home earlier this year (2022), and we were so glad to have Rachel as our agent. We viewed some homes with Rachel in early 2021 and decided not to buy then, and were really grateful that Rachel never pressured us to consider buying when we weren't ready. This year, we reengaged with Rachel and she patiently viewed many, many homes with us and walked us through the process of making our first offer. We couldn't have done it without her. We trusted her advice fully, and would highly recommend Rachel to anyone thinking of buying or selling in the DMV.

2022-09-17T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel is great! We were first time homebuyers trying to navigate the DC market in the summer of 2022. Rachel did a great job explaining the home buying process with us up front and helped us quickly navigate and understand the loan application process, which is no easy task! Rachel is very knowledgeable of the DC market and seemed really experienced at navigating the crazy DC market. She was also very responsive, flexible with our schedules, and made herself available pretty much any time. When we made our first offer, Rachel set out an effective strategy for us to win in a very competitive market. We felt comfortable with our offer and understood the strategy that ultimately worked. Rachel also has the connections and resources to put you in touch with a home inspector on short notice, as well as other contacts to help with home improvements and other work you might like to consider after you buy a house.

2022-09-14T00:00:00.000Z

We worked with Rachel to purchase our first home in ‘21 and she was a pleasure to work with. Any buyer looking during this period is aware of how competitive the market was which adds stress to an already tense and complex process. Rachel was a consummate professional; taking the time to listen to what we wanted in a home, show us multiple properties, work around our busy schedule and address all of our questions throughout the process. She scheduled time to walk us through confusing documents, had great advice about how to structure a strong offer in a competitive market and had an awesome network of no obligation referrals for us to work with through the mortgage and closing process. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone.

2022-09-13T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel was recommended to us by a friend and we could not be happier with the decision to work with her. Her knowledge of the local market, feel for timing, pricing and negotiation skills helped us buy our new home and sell our condo in less than a week of listing it. We highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future.

2022-09-13T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel is the most incredible realtor. She guided us through our first time homebuyer experience in DC (during a pretty crazy time in the market) and she made it a wonderful experience. She is so organized, so knowledgeable, and makes you feel so supported throughout the process. Rachel truly goes above and beyond for her clients and we are so grateful to have found her.

2022-09-13T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel was amazing. As first time home buyers, she guided us through the process, was responsive to all of our questions, and prepared us with everything we needed to know before making an offer. She helped us get our dream home and at under asking price. I would definitely recommend using Rachel as your agent.

2022-09-13T00:00:00.000Z

It’s our great pleasure to recommend Rachel Levey as a realtor. Our family moved to DC from out of state at the height of the Covid pandemic when housing inventory was low and demand high. Rachel made what could have been an exceedingly stressful process easy and even enjoyable. We've worked with a number of realtors over the years, and none comes close to Rachel in her willingness to advocate for her clients and go above and beyond what is expected (ie. even offering to pet-sit our goldfish for a month between closing and move-in!). Rachel was honest and straightforward when it came to observing and addressing potential issues in various properties and negotiating on our behalf--I never felt pressured into anything that wasn't going to be right for our family, and she was transparent in all of her communications. Our house needed some work, and we were able to tap into Rachel’s network of contractors, who, as it turns out, have just as much affection for her as we do. Rachel continues to be attentive and engaged, over a year after our closing, by checking in, sharing resources, and making sure we are attuned to all the cool things happening in DC. Rachel is patient, unflappable, and exceedingly thoughtful. She's also a pro when it comes to understanding the real estate market. She became our first friend in DC, and we will absolutely work with her again.

2021-07-02T00:00:00.000Z

It's hard to overstate how wonderful Rachel is. You will not find a better realtor in the Washington area. She was incredibly patient, savvy, insightful and wise. We worked with Rachel to find the perfect home for our family -- she understood exactly what we wanted and was able to think of things that never would have occurred to us throughout the process. She is incredibly smart about a home's design, functionality and potential. We relied on her vision and depth of knowledge at every turn. She's also a wonderful human, full of integrity and we knew she always had our backs. She gave us the upper hand in an extraordinarily competitive market and ensured we had the best shot at nabbing the home we fell in love with. We'll always be grateful to Rachel and will sing her praises to anyone and everyone looking for an agent.

2021-05-24T00:00:00.000Z

As first-time homebuyers, my fiance and I were a bit overwhelmed by the entire process. Rachel was patient with us as she walked us through what we could expect with our budget and what the process would look like. When we found a place we liked she helped us assemble an offer to close the open house and have our offer accepted promptly. She continued to be super responsive and helpful throughout the closing process and advocated for us to ensure the process continued to move forward. We really appreciated her thoughtful and honest take and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a place in the DMV area!

2021-05-23T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel did an amazing job selling our place in Brightwood Park. From renovations to staging, we were able to sit back and watch it all get handled. When it came to negotiations she did a great job of really maximizing our profit from the sale. My partner and I were really impressed and would recommend her to anyone we know thinking of selling or buying.

2020-12-12T00:00:00.000Z

I could not have been happier with our experience with Rachel. From the very beginning of our search for a home, she was attentive, organized, and responsive to all of our needs. She has a deep knowledge of the housing market in the DC area, and knows how to interact with other agents. Ultimately, when we settled on a home that we were interested in, Rachel was incredibly proactive (sending us video walkthroughs when we couldn't be there), and strategic (helping us land an offer that was accepted within hours). I could not recommend her more highly.

2020-12-09T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel is great to work with if you're a first time homebuyer. She thoroughly explains the process and walks through everything with you. She also is wonderful at helping you tailor your search so you can find the perfect home you're looking for. She has an expert eye and will notice things you wouldn't. I started my search from overseas and she visit homes and open houses when I was unable to. I would gladly recommend her to anyone.

2020-12-09T00:00:00.000Z

Rachel is an amazing, responsible, and knowledgeable agent! She found us our dream home and helped us through the whole home-buying process with aplomb. 100 percent recommend!
