Rachel El Shamy Austin, TX Real Estate Agent Headshot

Rachel El Shamy

In the Field

One thing about me: I’m a good listener. With over 15 years in real estate, I’ve learned that carefully listening to my clients’ needs, wants, challenges, and goals – while getting to know them personally – is what helps me find the best solutions for them. Clients know they can level with me as their friend and their real estate agent, which allows for much-needed transparency in our communication.
 
I’ve become a skilled negotiator with diplomatic chops – as a natural problem solver, I can get creative to bring about the best outcome as needed. Experiencing the ups and downs of the market has given me the wisdom to guide my clients through uncertainty, helping them navigate through any transaction.
 
South Austin has been home since 2013. Having worked in local development, residential sales, and property management, my South Austin neighborhood acumen is unmatched. I’ve also led the construction, lease-up, and development of a property management division for a local developer. 
 

At Home

Learning is a core value that’s become a way of life. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Manhattan Christian College and Kansas State University and have even studied abroad at the University of Paris-Sorbonne as well as the Brazilian rainforest.
 
I enjoy taking care of my community via Sunrise Navigation Center, Urban Roots Farm, Keep Austin Beautiful, Community First Village, and the South Austin Rotary Club. Internationally, I’ve volunteered in orphanages in Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Laos, and the Philippines, and worked with refugees in Israel and the West Bank.
 
My family is my everything – they make it easy to stay motivated and inspired. My husband Justin, our son Otis, our cats Theodore and Dylan, and our dog Ivvy are my most cherished blessings. We love to indulge in a little adventure and travel whenever possible; camping in one of Texas’s many gorgeous state parks is one of our favorite pastimes.

Success Stories

Read what our clients have to say about working with us.

"Rachel helped me locate an apartment when I moved back to Austin, as well as buy a home in Leander about eight months later. 2020 was a difficult year to make a move, but Rachel made the process go smoothly. She really takes the time to get to know you and your needs and is very professional, knowledgeable, kind, and fun to work with! She is very transparent and strategic and is very committed to getting you the home you want. She also provides so much information on the area and the home buying process, from researching schools, explaining about mortgages and taxes, inspections, and home warranties. I loved working with Rachel and want to highly recommend her services!"

"Rachel is someone who always delivers on her word, no matter what the ask is. She's one of the most naturally congenial and compassionate people I know, with an unparalleled patience and a breadth of real estate knowledge that you don't often come across. A couple I know, who just bought their first home in East Austin, told me they wished they had met Rachel sooner. They realized that the (often exhausting) home-buying process would have been smoother for them with her as their realtor. She knows the Austin metro inside and out, from the best neighborhoods, schools, restaurants, and shopping around, and will help you find a home that's just what you've been looking for."

"Rachel, owner/broker, personally handled my house sale masterfully. In a tough market with lots of competition, we went to contract in eighteen days versus fifty-one days for the neighborhood. Great communication and flawless execution. Very pleased."

"Rachel was such a pleasure to work with and is such a genuinely sweet person. We had to do everything virtually from Atlanta, so she stepped in and was readily available as soon as we needed her. With the market moving as quickly as it has, this was really important. Great experience working with Rachel - professional, genuine, and knowledgeable all around. Would definitely recommend."
