Testimonials
“My wife and I had the great pleasure and fortune to work with Rachel during the process of finding our first home. Rachel never made our relationship feel transactional and was always present and prepared to show a property. We were continually reassured by her sincerity, hospitality, and eagerness to not only find a house but a home... And she succeeded. She is a true dynamo in Maine real estate. She will be our first call when we are back in the market.”
MICHAEL B, HOME BUYER IN MAINE
“I have now done 2 purchases and 1 sale with Rachel and I would not go with anyone else moving forward. She is great at her job and very friendly and easy to work with, easiest 5 star review!”
Ryan J, HOME BUYER AND SELLER IN MAINE
“Rachel was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! We had unusual circumstances, and she stepped up to provide excellent help every time we chatted. We were selling a house on the west coast, and in the months we were doing that, she was available for all of our questions. When our house sold and we were really ready to buy, she was even more help. She arranged many house visits for us on short notice. Throughout the process, she helped point out issues that we missed and might not have known about until inspection time. Ultimately we found the right house, and she then saw us through that process, with constant communication. If we should need an agent again, we would not hesitate to call Rachel, and would definitely recommend her to family and friends!”
DAVE W, RELOCATED TO MAINE
“I have been working with Rachel since 2017. She has helped me through every real estate milestone. I am impressed with her organization and responsiveness. I know if I have a real estate question she will know or find the answer for me. Highly recommend!”
Ambre R. HOME BUYER AND SELLER IN MAINE
“In the often-impersonal realm of real estate, finding a realtor who goes beyond the call of duty to become a friend and trusted advisor is a rarity. Fortunately for me, I was introduced to Rachel in 2017 and have been lucky enough to call her a realtor and a friend ever since. Rachel led me through the complex and sometimes anxious process of buying my first home with an unparalleled level of dedication, patiently explaining each step and offering invaluable insights that eased my first-time homebuyer jitters. Buying and selling a home is one of the most important and challenging processes that you can go through in life so to be able to do it with someone you trust and enjoy spending time with on top of that is a huge bonus!”
Sarah L, HOME BUYER IN MAINE
“We had a fantastic experience working with Rachel. She is an extremely skilled and knowledgeable Realtor and community member, who helped us to learn about local communities as we are new to Maine, and about the aspects that we ultimately prioritized in a home. She was consistently very professional, kind, and extremely patient with us. She did an expert job of helping us to navigate the very challenging real estate market, while helping us to work through difficult situations and the process of developing and submitting multiple offers, and doing an expert job of navigating on our behalf. She provided thoughtful and supportive feedback and insight regarding what we should consider when purchasing a home as a fellow mother, professional, and a Maine community member. She is conscientious and thorough and very diligent and responsive; she is articulate and well-spoken and highly respected in the field. Rachel did a wonderful job of learning about our key priorities in a home and helping us to identify the essential aspects of our future home. We are thrilled to have ultimately found a house that is a perfect fit for us and are extremely grateful to Rachel for helping us to do so. We strongly recommend that others work with Rachel if they are searching for a new home. We recommend Rachel as a Realtor without hesitation.”

“Our home selling process was an absolute breeze because of Rachel! She knows all things housing market from the comps in the area just by telling her our street name to the buyer pool and how to use what we had to stage the home like a professional. Punctuality and communication are her strong suits! She is a dream to work with, like an old friend but extremely professional. We can't recommend her enough and are sad the transaction was only over a few short months. She has a true gift in this profession and is honestly the best of the best in the Southern Maine area!”sold a single-family home in Portland, ME
“We are newer to Maine and Rachel was a complete blessing to work with! We explored lots of homes in lots of neighborhoods and towns, and Rachel was incredibly patient and gracious, offering us knowledge and feedback about each one whenever we needed it. When the process got overwhelming, she was completely supportive of us needing a break to let things settle down, and checked back in at just the right time. Her intuition is amazing and we found our dream house in the perfect neighborhood! She's the kind of realtor that will listen to your needs over and over again, gives you a gentle nudge when you need it, but is incredibly honest and the steady hand you need throughout the process. We could not recommend a better agent than Rachel Davey!”

“Rachel was great to work with—she listens well, answered all our questions and lent a hand on the property to help ensure a smooth, on-time closing. We got a good price and she saved us enormous worry and concern—we knew she had it all in hand. We’ve already recommended her to others.”

“We were referred to Rachel through a friend-of-a-friend who described Rachel as "by far the best realtor we’ve ever worked with and seems to know Portland and surrounding communities very well” -- truer words have never been spoken! We are so grateful for this referral.”

“Highest praise to Rachel Davey for all her hard work and dedication in helping us find a new home that fit our exact needs and helping us sell our much loved Portland condo.”
John W, bought & sold a townhouse in portland, ME
“My husband and I have bought and sold many homes over the years. Rachel Davey is by far the most attentive, responsive, and supportive realtor we’ve ever worked with. We were selling our home in Portland and buying another property in Gorham smack dab in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Rachel never missed a beat, making it easy for us to complete both transactions in a safe, timely, and even joyous way during a usually challenging time. She was extremely sensitive to our specific and often complex needs, replying swiftly and thoroughly to our texts, phone calls, and emails. She also put us in contact with our lender, our moving company, and several of the contractors we are currently working with at our new home. Everyone she has referred us to has been outstanding (and they have also expressed their respect for her). It has been a joy to work with Rachel, even in the midst of the challenges, both ordinary and extraordinary, of buying and selling property in 2020.”

“I bought my first house in Maine with Rachel as my agent. I was in Pennsylvania at the time and the process couldn't have gone more smoothly. Her communication skills are excellent and she has established strong relationships within the real estate community that prove to be helpful. So when I was ready to sell my house and purchase a condo, I chose to work with Rachel again. She helped me stage my home and did such a fantastic job of marketing it that it sold immediately for over the asking price. She timed the sale and the new purchase perfectly and I was in my new home within 6 weeks from the start of the process. She even helped me sell some unwanted items, going above and beyond her responsibilities. She's really wonderful, such a pleasure wot work with and I couldn't be happier with the outcomes.”
Shirly D, bought & sold a single-family home in westbrook, ME
“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Rachel Davey. We originally were working with a different realtor with whom we had a negative experience. After hearing great things about Rachel's expertise and responsiveness, we ultimately signed on with her. Rachel did an outstanding job for us. Since we had experience working with realtors and were privy to the process, we immediately appreciated her knowledge and responsiveness. Even though Rachel is very busy, she made us feel like we were her only clients. She found us the home of our dreams and sold our old home for above-asking price all in approximately a month's time. This was due to the fact that she is so responsive, she has great connections with other people in the business, she actively listened to us while giving us expert advice, and she negotiated effectively. We highly recommend real estate professional, Rachel Davey. She made our home selling and buying process a pleasure.”

“We recently worked with Rachel to buy our first home and couldn’t be happier with the overall process. We would definitely recommend her if you are looking for an agent to get you into the right home! From the very beginning, she was always ready and able to help us with our questions (there were a LOT of them), take us on showings, and walk us through the offer/acceptance process. With homes going under contract very quickly it was important to act fast and Rachel was always responsive when we wanted to look at a property. Trying to find a home was a very stressful process but it was made a lot easier by having someone like Rachel on our team.”

“We relocated to Maine and relied heavily on Rachel to guide us to the neighborhood and home we were looking for. Rachel is knowledgeable, diligent, extremely responsive and she couldn’t be any nicer or easier to work with. Her guidance was very valuable and we would highly recommend her to everyone!”
Elizabeth, bought a single-family home in cape Elizabeth, me
“We are delighted to give Rachel Davey our highest recommendation. She was a wonderful part of our first time home buying experience and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Rachel helped us buy our little dream home on an island in Maine. She made the entire process feel seamless. In particular, I'd like to call out three of Rachel's core skills: [1] her patience, [2] comprehensive approach, and [3] transparent process. [1] As first time homebuyers, Kellie and I had many questions – and frankly we're a little nervous about the whole buying a home thing. Rachel was always willing to answer our questions and made us feel extremely confident in our purchase. [2] Second, Rachel is incredibly through. She has a very comprehensive approach. The property we purchased was owned by two parties. Rachel helped us navigate through the sale and did significant due diligence on the property. We couldn't have done this without her. [3] Third, Rachel is very transparent. She keeps her clients in the loop without being pushy. This is a skilled balance that many realtors haven't mastered. Rachel has. Please do consider Rachel as your realtor!”
Owen S, bought a single-family home in Portland, ME
“We had a wonderful experience with Rachel Davey as our realtor. My husband and I moved to Portland from out of state, and Rachel knew just how to keep us informed throughout the house hunting process. When we came up to tour some homes in person, Rachel made sure that she was available for multiple showings- we saw six houses one weekend! When we moved into our home, Rachel became a great resource for us for local recommendations. We really enjoyed working with Rachel and would absolutely recommend her as a realtor!”

“Rachel Davey picked some great properties to show in Portland's tight market. She was easy to work with and was very receptive to our interests. During the pending sale, Rachel helped the process go smoothly and offered some good advice. Then, long after our closing date, she checked up with us asking how we're doing with adjusting to our new home and offered her help if we need it. Rachel's great!”
Pamela, Homebuyer in Maine
“Rachel was able to make what could have been an extremely frustrating experience into something absolutely free of drama. We know people that have been looking for "the right" place in Portland for the better part of a year. Rachel REALLY listened to us when we told her our wants and needs. She used her knowledge of the local market and directed us to certain neighborhoods that fit our budget and wish list. We didn't have to waste our time on properties that weren't going to fit the bill. After walking through a few showings our first day with her, she was absolutely locked in on what we wanted. Little things, like remembering how I mentioned in an off-hand comment that I thought that crown molding could absolutely change the character of an otherwise boring room. She allowed us to maximize the time we spent looking at homes when we were actually in town, and to not worry about missing out on something perfect. When something came on the market that she thought warranted the 4 hour trip, she let us know. If you want to be sitting in your living room of the perfect home for you and your family in the shortest time possible (and happily writing a positive review), your first step should be reaching out to Rachel and asking her to work for you as your buyer's agent.”
Tim T, bought a single-family home in Portland, ME
“Rachel was great to deal with. She made things go very smoothly, knew what we would need for next steps. She made herself available as we were deciding on the right location for us, so we could fit showings into one day to be sure we could place an offer swiftly on the one we choose. She made sure to point things out that may need attention and talked us through the closing process. She made it seem so easy and answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. She also understood the emotions involved and helped us work through them. We would recommend Rachel to any of our friends and colleagues!”
Tamsen A, Homebuyer in Maine
“Rachel Davey helped us find our new vacation home in Ocean Park OOB Maine. It was a pleasure working with her as she was both personable and professional. She helped us view many different types of properties until we found the one that was perfect for us. She was available to answer any of our questions and provide any recommendations we asked for. We would highly recommend her to help you find the property you want and to walk you through the process.”
Paul & Randy, Homebuyers in Maine
“Rachel and I worked together for several months to find the right home for me. Her patience to deal with my varied interests in housing, from multifamily to single family to condominiums, was most impressive and at all times very helpful. I landed on the right property in the end and that could not have happened without her. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the market, and provided a great set of eyes for me as I searched while living 100 miles away. Trust and intuition are a critical part of the process of buying a home, and I felt very comfortable the entire time working with Rachel. I would 100% recommend her and likely go to her again in the future.”

“Rachel helped me buy my first house, while also relocating from New Hampshire to Maine. Although it was a hard and stressful journey she was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the process. All of my concerns were addressed in a very timely and through manner. I would highly recommend her to friends and family.”

“Rachel was fantastic at helping us through finding and then purchasing our new home. She is a hard worker and very fun to work with, highly recommended!”
Brady K, bought a single-family home in Portland, ME
“Rachel is wonderful to work with and we highly recommend her! She has a great eye for detail while walking through homes for consideration. She is genuine in character and provides her honest opinions when discussing options and next steps. She is not pushy, which we greatly appreciated! We would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
Caitlin W, bought a single-family home in Portland, ME
“Rachel was incredibly responsive and helped make a tricky home purchase as painless as possible. With this being our second home purchase, both my wife and I knew exactly what we did and didn't want; problem being, we both wanted very different styles of house. I wanted a property with rental capability and my wife wanted a single family home that was big enough to accommodate our growing family of five. By working with Rachel, prioritizing our wants and needs, along with seeing numerous properties we were able to narrow in on a home that suited both of our needs. There were some unforeseen obstacles with the property itself that did occur prior to the closing process; however, Rachel was incredibly responsive and was able to effectively work with the various parties involved in the transaction to get to an amicable outcome. Now we're thoroughly enjoying our new home!”
Nick C, bought a single-family home in Gray, ME
“Rachel was wonderful to work with. She made everything feel easy and seamless, and she always had a positive attitude. As a first time homebuyer, I did not know much about the house-hunting/buying process; Rachel made sure to walk me through each and every step, answering all of my questions along the way. My situation was also somewhat complicated, as I was moving to Maine from out of state, for a job with a set timeline. I knew I needed a realtor who would work with me on pricing, timing, and travel, and Rachel did just that. She not only found houses within my price-range and desired location, she offered to look at the homes ahead of time for me (to save me numerous trips back and forth). Rachel is by far an exceptional realtor, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.”

“Rachel made the purchase of our dream cottage an easy and memorable experience. Very knowledgable about location, marketability and pricing. We would recommend her highly!”
Sharon B, bought a single-family home in Falmouth, ME
“Rachel was wonderful to work with. As first time homebuyers, we did not know much about the process of buying, but Rachel helped us through and answered all of our many questions. She was invaluable in helping us work through all of the purchase details in a timely manner. We would highly recommend working with Rachel and her team on your home purchase!”
Chelsea L, Bought a Multi-Family Home in Portland, ME
“Rachel was a breath of fresh air in what had been a difficult and frustrating start to our house hunting process. After having not the greatest experience with another realtor, we began the daunting task of finding a better fit realtor for us. After our first meeting with Rachel, she immediately hit the ground running to start getting us back on track and excited about the process again. While we worked during the day, Rachel would view homes on our behalf- taking extensive notes and videos; This helped us to cross off homes that weren't a good fit or made sure we got in to view them immediately if she thought they were good prospects or they might not last long on the market. Even after searching in such an aggressive market, losing multiple battles in bidding wars and going through the exhausting process of multiple offers, we finally found a home that was absolutely perfect for us. Rachel was able to reassure us every step of the way and kept us calm through such an emotional process. We could not be happier with our experience with her and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a first home, or any home for that matter!”
