"Shen was fantastic to work with! As first-time home buyers, we needed a lot of help and guidance, and Shen's expertise was invaluable. She worked really hard and fought for us to get appropriate concessions from the seller. She really helped make the whole process as smooth as possible."

"We sought out Shen to sell our home because we saw her previously sell one in our neighborhood so fast, and we needed to do the same because we have small children and didn’t want to have to keep the place staged and ready forever. Shen did not disappoint. She told us exactly what we needed to do and got us so many great offers on our home almost instantly! Shen is the best!"

"My family worked with Shen for the sale of two properties and purchase of a shared one where we could blend generations, combining grandparents, parents, and teenagers into one home! She was able to string together the purchase and sale processes that allowed us to leverage the proceeds for the new purchase, even though we made an offer (which was accepted!) before those proceeds were available. This included some tricky negotiations and even a rent-back option to ensure we always had a roof over our heads. Shen is a savvy negotiator, knows the market well, and keeps her calm even in the toughest of situations. She is a delight to work with and wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking to buy (or sell!) in the Triangle."

"Shen is a consummate professional who brings her A-game to everything she does. Having her on your team means that you get access to her deep knowledge of the inner workings of the real estate world. This knowledge comes from years of experience and an unflagging drive to improve and develop in her career. She embraces new business practices and technologies and is always raising her level. She will negotiate on your behalf with calm persistence, grounded in compassion and strength. Shen has an impressive work ethic and is consistently responsive and detail-oriented. She is a friend and neighbor who seamlessly transitioned to being our real estate agent, and I have observed her in action both as our agent and on the opposite side of a transaction. I would recommend her without reservations."

"I worked with Shenandoah for over a year as she patiently showed me houses all over Chapel Hill. She was intentional about understanding what we were looking for and proactively found me many great homes. We worked entirely remotely, and she was always willing to show up to a new house at the drop of a hat, send me extensive videos and photos, and help me understand the pros and cons of the property and the location. It took me over a year to buy a house, but she never once complained or showed any lack of enthusiasm. I bid on multiple properties, and she was always helpful and responsive. I can't recommend Shenandoah highly enough. She is a fantastic realtor!"

"We cannot recommend Shenandoah and her team highly enough! Shen helped us sell our midcentury home in Chapel Hill off-market — completely stress and hustle-free. From the start, she impressed us with her thoughtful marketing expertise and strategic, phased approach that made every step feel clear, manageable, and intentional. She took the time to deeply understand our goals, provided honest and smart advice, and executed a plan that brought the right buyers to us without the need for public listings or overwhelming showings. Thanks to her market knowledge, calm guidance, and meticulous attention to detail, what could have been a stressful process turned into an exceptionally smooth and positive experience. We are so grateful for Shen’s responsiveness, creativity, and integrity throughout the entire journey. If you want someone who combines sharp strategy with genuine care and delivers outstanding results, Shen is truly the best!"

"We had an outstanding experience working with Shenandoah Nieuwsma! From start to finish, she guided us perfectly through the process of selling our home. Her deep knowledge of the real estate market was impressive, not just broadly, but especially when it came to Chapel Hill and our specific neighborhood, Kings Mill Morgan Creek. She timed the market perfectly, helping us list at just the right moment and at a price point that maximized our final sale. Communication was excellent throughout the process. She was always quick to respond to texts and emails, and her support staff was equally helpful and professional. While our home didn’t require full staging, she still made thoughtful recommendations for touch-ups that really helped the house show its best. The photos, taken by her exceptional photographer, made a huge impact and highlighted the home beautifully. Once our house was on the market, she kept us well-informed at every stage. She skillfully led us through a multiple-offer situation and helped us confidently choose the right buyers. Even after the sale was underway, she continued to support us with helpful tips on movers, utilities, and prepping the home for the new owners. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Shenandoah Realty to anyone looking to sell (or buy!) a home."

"Thank you, Shen, for helping us find our new home. We learned much of what we now know about the complex homebuying process thanks to Shen's video series and the time she took answering our many, many questions over the phone and during showings. Shen was easy to communicate with, responsive, and knowledgeable. She was patient and never pushy while we took the time we needed to find the right home for us, and we really appreciate that. Once we did find a good fit, Shen was there every step of the way (by phone, email, or in person) to make sure things went smoothly and efficiently. We recommend getting in touch with Shen if you're looking to buy a home in the area!"
