About Us
Rick Shaw Realtors, we believe great agents aren’t just born — they’re shaped by passion, integrity, and a genuine love for helping people find home. That belief started with our founder, Rick Shaw, whose story is at the heart of everything we do.
Rick began his real estate journey on July 1, 1977, right here in Louisville, Kentucky. At the time, he was a local teacher helping fellow educators buy and sell homes — back when real estate was more handshake than contract. As the market grew, Rick’s honesty, professionalism, and hands-on approach quickly made him one of the most trusted names in town.
By 1986, Rick was named the Top Century 21 agent in Kentucky, and just a year later, he became Vice President of Edelen, Edelen & Shaw. After nearly two decades of serving clients across Louisville, Rick decided to follow his dream and open his own locally owned brokerage.
In 1995, Rick Shaw Realtors was born — a small, community-based company built around personal relationships, face-to-face service, and a commitment to putting clients first.
Today, our team continues that same mission. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, or looking to invest in Louisville real estate, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
At Rick Shaw Realtors, you’re not just a transaction — you’re part of the family.
Local roots. Real relationships. Louisville’s trusted real estate experts since 1977.
