"Albany went above and beyond to negotiate the purchase of my home. She found creative ways to make the purchase work in a tough market. Buying a home is a big life step. I was so appreciative to have her guidance every step of the way! " - Rebecca
★★★★★
"I have now worked with Albany twice as a buyer, once as a landlord, and once as a seller. I am continuously amazed at how wonderful she is. On two occasions, she has found me a great home in a very hot seller's market within budget. Most recently, she arranged for me to tour what is now my home the night before it hit the market. We were able to make an offer and seal the deal before other prospective buyers could even tour. We would not be in our beautiful home without her connections, her hard work, and dedication. In addition to being an incredibly effective real estate agent, Albany is truly a wonderful person. I actually enjoyed touring houses with her because of her incredible personality. She is passionate, personable, persistent, practical, and quick-witted. I truly cherish our time working together." - Claire

"Going with Albany to sell my condo was the best choice I could have made. My sale was impacted by the Texas storm. She guided me through with a calmness and easiness that could not be replicated. I knew at all times she held my best interests with high regard while working to move the deal along as quickly as possible. I will be a client for life and cannot wait to work with her again on my next home purchase." - Mallory
★★★★★
"Our experience working with Albany was awesome! She was more than a realtor; she was our strategist, legal eagle, and even a counselor, talking me down during stressful moments. She’s smart as a whip, offering keen insights about the market that helped us make decisions. She was thorough and kept us informed throughout the entire process. We love our new home and sold our old home for well above the list price. She rocks!" - Charity

"We talk about once in a generation athletes and we talk about how rare they are. We talk about how they can single handedly turn a franchise around. And not just a franchise, they can sometimes revitalize a city. Well...now meet Albany Shaw. She is our friend, our sister, and our realtor. Saying she's a realtor is an understatement. She's more of a life coach...no she's like a future designer. I'm not saying she's a designer in the making...no. Buying a house can truly affect your future. She helps you create the future you want for yourself based on your current and future needs. She's not thinking about you just selling or buying a house. She helps you make decisions based on the best thing that will create value for you and your family. My wife and I sold our house and bought a new one. Albany was there every step of the way. She was a friend, financial planner, counselor, lawyer, designer and so much more through the process. So, if you're looking for a once in a generation realtor/life coach/future designer...then give Albany a call. Now do me a favor. Don't waste her time...I promise she will not waste yours.

"What do you call the woman who made it a priority to get to know you better than you knew yourself so she could find the perfect home for you? She improved our lives in every way. More important than friendship; more important than just business. There is no word for it. Just Albany. If you need a real estate agent, you can't do better." - Ame Howard
★★★★★
"Albany is one the best realtors that I have associated so far. She helped us with the purchase of our primary home in University Park as well as an investment condo in Dallas. Spot on advice and an expert in the DFW real estate market. Always very prompt in follow ups. Very happy with her service!!" - Vishal and Anamika Goenka
★★★★★
"We absolutely loved working with Albany! She was professional, patient, and thorough in the journey to finding our first home. Even though she had a feeling that the house we chose would ultimately be the one, she did not pressure us. She was even kind enough to drive us around Dallas to expose us to other potential neighborhoods. We are very happy with our home and would recommend her to anyone!" - Tego and Kayla
Having grown up amongst the towering oaks and rolling hills of Oak Cliff, come of age on SMU’s campus in the Park Cities, found purpose while teaching in Fair Park, and cut her teeth as an attorney at an Am Law 100 firm downtown, it would be an understatement to say that this city has shaped her.
Albany offers her clients an intimate awareness of the beauty, charm, and potential in neighborhoods across all price points throughout the city. Couple that awareness with her ability to negotiate for her clients and diffuse tensions (as only a former teacher turned lawyer could), and it’s easy to see why well over 95% of Albany’s transactions stem from referrals and repeat business from former clients..
Albany views herself as an advisor. As a result, her clients often note how much they appreciate her candid yet thoughtful advice, which she’s known to give just as easily with a smile as with a smidge of sarcasm.
Albany and her husband called the Lower Greenville area home for over a decade and have now settled in North Oak Cliff. When she’s not checking out local restaurants with close friends and family, traveling, or losing herself in a good book, you’ll find Albany sneaking in her guilty pleasure--watching Korean dramas.
