Rachel sold my home this past Septemeber. When I say she went above and beyond as a realtor, I cannot fully express how good she was and how attentive to my needs she was in handling the sale of this home. First, the house was on a street that makes it a bit of a challenge to sell from a West Mount Airy standpoint. Add to this high interest rates with no prospect of lowering in the future, and the fact I had to be out of there by September 1 and we had a challenge. Well, Rachel did an incredible job of listing the house, pushing the house without being pushy and even assisting the other realtor to the future buyers of my home with her experience in a consignment sale. All those things may have made for a disaster, but due to Rachel's experience as a realtor in The West Mount Airy section of the city, it went off seamlessly and for that I am eternally grateful. Rachel, you were the best and know folks, if you need a realtor in that part of the city or any other, I highly suggest you give her a call.

Rachel was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! We cannot say enough wonderful things about her. My boyfriend and I were first time homebuyers and were not familiar with the process. She educated us every step of the way and was available at all hours to answer questions. She never made us feel rushed into a decision, but she kept us aware of all timelines. She didn't want us to just buy a home to get the job done, she wanted us to find our dream home. She did so much more than just finding and showing us houses, she went above and beyond in every sense of the word.

Rachel's knowledge and experience in this industry, combined with her passion for helping her clients makes her the best of the best. You can tell from the moment you meet her that she loves her job, and that makes for a wonderful person to work with. We closed on our dream home recently and we have her to thank. If this review didn't already make it obvious, we simply cannot recommend her enough.

Rachel was extremely positive through the whole process of the sale of my home. Rachel always answered my questions or concerns very promptly. I like Rachel because she was easy to talk to, very personable and is a true professional in her field. Rachel notices the little things; touches I did to make the house nice and she generally appreciates that kind of effort. Rachel listened to my opinion and together we sold my house in just a few months. I highly recommend Rachel.

I am thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with realtor Rachel Reilly. From the moment we embarked on our journey to find a home, we were met with Rachel's kindness, diligence, consistency, and unwavering support. Rachel's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire process – one which included various pandemic phases, multiple neighborhoods, diverging mortgage rates and varying price points.

Despite the challenges in the housing market, she navigated the real estate landscape with grace and skill, ensuring that our needs and concerns were always addressed. One of the aspects that truly stood out about Rachel was her unwavering dedication to our goals. Suffice it to say that my partner and I were not always on the same page and often disagreed on what our wants and needs were. Rachel was the utmost professional; she actively listened to our unique requirements and tailored her approach accordingly.

Rachel's knowledge of the ever-changing housing market was truly impressive. Her insights and guidance were invaluable in helping us make informed decisions. Throughout the entire process, Rachel was a source of support. She was always there to answer our questions, provide guidance, and address any concerns we had. Her responsiveness and availability made us feel like a priority. Not only did Rachel help us find our first home, and sell it, but she also recently guided us through the purchase of our second home. Rachel guided us through the entire process, connecting us with excellent contractors, electricians, plumbers, and others. She also helped us to stage our home in a way that felt warm and inviting. Although the process of buying/selling can be daunting - we always felt like we were in excellent hands.

In short, Rachel Reilly’s consistent dedication and exceptional service were evident. We are so thankful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

It was a pleasure to work with Rachel on the sale of our beloved family home! Rachel came highly recommended, with her wealth of knowledge of the local real estate market and her ability to navigate settlement with minimal stress to the seller. Rachel also has expert knowledge of older homes, which helped to market our house to a buyer that would give the same love to our home that we had over the years.
We are so grateful that Rachel handled all of the little details for us- from scheduling the photographer and showings based on our timeframe to explaining the nuances of the agreement/settlement process. This allowed us to focus on our out-of-state move and know that everything was in good hands. From start to finish, our house was listed and sold in about five weeks. We can’t thank Rachel enough!

My family and I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel Reilly during our relocation from out of state to Philadelphia, and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor to guide us through the process.

One of the things that stood out to us the most was how seriously Rachel took our house-hunting journey. Even though we were still a few months away from making any offers, she made sure to keep us in the loop with regular updates on available properties in the area. This made us feel valued as clients and showed us that she genuinely cared about helping us find the right home.

Rachel's knowledge of the different neighborhoods in Philadelphia was truly impressive. She provided us with invaluable insights and advice, helping us navigate the local market with confidence. As first-time homebuyers, we had many questions and concerns, but Rachel was incredibly patient with us, taking the time to address all our inquiries and making sure we understood every step of the process.

Throughout our home-buying journey, Rachel proved to be not only a skilled realtor but also a genuine and caring person. Her passion for her work and the pride she takes in helping her clients find their dream homes shone through in every interaction we had with her.

Thanks to Rachel's expertise and support, we found the perfect home for our family in Philadelphia. We couldn't be happier with our decision, and we owe a huge part of our successful relocation to Rachel's outstanding guidance.

If you're looking for a realtor who will treat you with respect, provide invaluable insights, and go above and beyond to help you find the right home, look no further! We highly recommend her services and are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us!

Within the first 10 minutes of speaking with Rachel we knew she was the right fit for us. We had narrowed down our top neighborhoods to Germantown and Mount Airy and Rachel knew almost every nook and cranny of Northwest Philadelphia! She steered us clear of homes that weren’t the right fit and we didn’t feel rushed over the two months we looked at homes together. We appreciated Rachel’s direct feedback and timely responses—she also knew when to say “I’m not sure, but we can find out more.”

Trusting Rachel implicitly was easy, and her guidance led us to closing on our first house within one month. We could not have found this home without her network. We’re so thankful for her support and we know we’ll work with her in the future!

Rachel took two people who knew virtually nothing about buying a home, and walked us through every step of the way. Her knowledge and experience not only made the process easy, but most likely saved us thousands of dollars. Rachel and her team were not only quick and responsive when we HAD questions, but they were usually two or three steps ahead of us, solving problems before they arose, almost as if they've done this HUNDREDS OF TIMES BEFORE. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Rachel. She almost made the process TOO easy. As an eternal pessimist who had heard so many horror stories about buying a home, I was in a CONSTANT state of shock and disbelief when she made everything so simple and easy. We can't recommend Rachel highly enough. I mean, unless you're a glutton for punishment, and you WANT a bunch of headaches and grief. Then go with someone else, I guess. What do I care? I have a house now.

Rachel is an exceptional professional. She has now helped me purchase two fabulous homes in Northwest Phila.

I inquired about a rental in 2016 that was NOT Rachels's listing, but she gathered all of the information and followed up with me as if I were already her client. I knew then that she would be my realtor, and I am so pleased with that decision.

Whether you're buying for the first time or are a seasoned buyer, you'll want a realtor who is very knowledgeable about the industry, about neighborhoods, about the mortgage process, who cares about client needs, and who is responsive! You will see, this is Rachel Reilly.

We cannot recommend Rachel strongly enough. She helped us find our dream home, in a really tight housing market. She really “got us” and understood what we were looking for. She consistently and quickly sent us new listings that met our needs, arranged convenient times to see the homes, and patiently walked us through. She offered incredibly valuable insights about each home’s potential assets and challenges, and allowed us to make informed decisions about whether or not the home would meet our family’s needs. She is extremely knowledgeable about the potential pitfalls of buying an older home—showing us the type of wiring and quality of materials used. Ultimately, she helped us find the perfect home and helped us negotiate to ensure that we were successful in a competitive bidding war. She led us through the process of making an offer and arranging for settlement, and we felt supported and informed throughout. She knows everyone in the area, and has offered names and tips about contractors and vendors for the services we need to get our house ready and to move in. Rachel is extremely personable, and we feel like we gained a friend through the process of searching for and buying our new home.

From the first visit to our home Rachel was enthusiastic about finding the perfect buyer. She was able to determine the best ways to present an old house with garden appeal. She suggested reorganizing the attic to maximize head space, decluttering desks and other surfaces, and rolling the bath towels a'la Conde Nast. All of the IT and paperwork were made as easy as possible, In the end, the perfect buyer was found, and Rachel has become a good friend. Joyce Corlett and Eddie OConnell

Rachel Reilly is a dream come true for anyone looking to buy a home. Plus, she understands homes, neighborhoods, and school systems in both Philly and the greater Philadelphia area like the back of her hand. She is responsive, patient, and full of warmth and humor - TRULY guiding me and my wife in our search every step of the way. And her reputation precedes her. Another agent once asked us if we would consider taking him on. We said we already had "Rachel Reilly" and he smiled and said, "Well, then, you have the best agent in Philly."

This felt apparent from our first meeting with her where she listened with care and poise to what my wife and i were looking for. As first time home buyers, we had gone into that meeting feeling intimidated to start this process and walked out excited that we were going to have someone who was clearly in this WITH us and FOR us. Which is what makes Rachel so unusual and "the best agent in Philly": she's not doing this work to make a sale. She's doing this work because she genuinely loves people and loves helping them find the home that works for them: be it a starter home or a dream home.

With every visit we took to a different house, her enthusiasm and passion for the homes she had selected for us to see was infectious. And while we could tell which houses she loved more than others, she never pushed those opinions on us. It was also centered on what we wanted. And her sharp eye is unmatched: in every home we saw, she pointed out where there were problems and how much she estimated it would cost to fix those issues.

When we chose the home of our dreams, Rachel negotiated the price with the sellers with great savvy. She was also meticulously detailed regarding our inspection which included bringing in some of the most trusted professionals in Philadelphia to make sure that everything was up to snuff.

Plus, everything Rachel did came with a thoughtful touch: even her gorgeous house warming gift + a donation that she made in our name to the charity of our choice (something she does for all clients). Since we've moved in, she has even checked in on us to make sure that everything is working properly.

Rachel Reilly is a real estate agent like no other, who changed our lives so much for the better. And anyone would be lucky to have her as their agent - we know that we were!

Rachel was able to accommodate our aggressive schedule and manage the sale of our house successfully, garnering multiple, amazing offers within a week of listing. She handled the process in a way that allowed us to be minimally involved but get a maximum result.

We interviewed several agents and ultimately chose Rachel to list our house in South Philly. She came with a glowing recommendation from a close friend, and we couldn't have been happier. She knows her stuff, and is very helpful in "hand holding" a first time seller, like myself, through the sometimes stressful process of listing a house! She was always honest, positive and, most importantly, responsive! I'd recommend her to anyone :)

Rachel sold my husband and I our first home. She's incredibly informative, honest, and her knowledge in the business is unparalleled. Every step of the way, she made sure we understood the process to make it as easy as possible. Not only is she an amazing realtor, but an absolutely beautiful person who obviously cares so much about clients. We really appreciated all of her guidance and support.

Rachel helped me buy AND sell my house in Brewerytown in less than 18 months. As someone who did not particularly enjoy my first home-owning experience, I don't know what I would have done without Rachel. I'm not sure what other realtors are like, but I find it hard to believe that they would go above and beyond as she did (for example, while I was living remotely during the selling process, she completely arranged and took care of several home repairs that were needed to complete the sale - I mean, there's no way that's in a realtor's job description).

Rachel answered my texts and calls at all hours of the day and night even when I was sure I was being annoying / paranoid. She was just a genuine comfort during the entire process. I really can't say enough good things - she will always have my referral.

Rachel was amazing to work with! She was extremely patient, professional and gave us sound advice at every step of the process of buying and selling our home. She helped us to sell our home above asking price and buy our new home at below listed price. In addition, she’s a really nice person. I highly recommended working with her, and can’t imagine working with another realtor.

Rachel is extraordinary.
She understood all the complexities of what it meant for me to be selling the house I lived in for 26 years. She listened and heard; was available and responsive (including to my sometimes-panicked texts); advised, encouraged and supported whenever it was needed.
She guided me through the business end of selling my house: setting the asking price; choosing the buyer; being at my side during settlement.
She knows her stuff.
I’m already miss being in touch with her!

My fiancee and I recently purchased our dream home with Rachel. She was professional, attentive, responsive, and just fantastic to work with. We each had different "must haves" and she managed both of our expectations spectacularly well. We began the process with her and looked at a not unreasonable number of homes before finding THE ONE. She guided us through the process and was always a joy to work with. 10 out of 10 would strongly recommend!

Rachel is THE BEST! I never thought I'd own a home but here I sit typing this from my favorite place I've ever lived. Even in the competitive and stressful market of West Mt. Airy, Rachel made the process enjoyable. From showing us houses at any time of day/night/weekend, to helping us draft a competitive offer (and counter-offer), to connecting us with top professionals for financing, title, inspection, etc., Rachel went above and beyond during each part of the process. Her knowledge, patience, and responsive communication are unparalleled- she taught us so much about older homes, architecture, and what to look for in a basement. The night before our closing, I realized that our "year of Rachel" was coming to an end, and I genuinely felt sad. Rachel became a friend during our house hunt (she was even there the first time my parents met my partner's parents to view a prospective house!), and I can't imagine working with another realtor. The amount of joy, laughter, hugs, (and selfies) at our closing made for the perfect start to a new and wonderful chapter in our home. Thank you, Rachel!!!

Working with Rachel made the home buying process SO easy. My wife and I were (anxious) first time buyers and Rachel was soo patient and answered every single minute question we had. She was extremely knowledgeable about the transaction itself, but also about the houses and the different quirks/problems we found when touring homes. She also recommended other great professionals that helped our purchase run smoothly (inspector, mortgage broker, etc.). On top of her technical knowledge, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is hilarious and made the process more fun than we could have imagined. We will no doubt be using Rachel for any other buying/selling transactions in the future. 20/10 recommend.

Rachel Reilly and her team at Elfant Wissahickon was definitely the right choice to sell our unique family home in Abington. Rachel knew the neighborhood, marketed the property wisely, held open houses even through the quiet days of August, gave good counsel, and closed the sale in three months. We were thrilled with the results.
