Ruby Elshafei

Originally from Cairo, Egypt, I made my way to Nashville in 2000 by way of New York—and I’ve called this vibrant, ever-evolving city home ever since. With over two decades of roots in Nashville, I’ve had the privilege of watching it grow and transform, and I love helping others find their place here—whether they’re first-time buyers, relocating across the city, or moving in from out of state or across the globe.

As a dedicated real estate professional, I bring a personalized, hands-on approach to both buyers and sellers. My clients come from all walks of life, and I pride myself on guiding each one with care, clarity, and a calm, steady presence—whether it’s your first home or your fifth.

I’m also a proud mom of two incredible young adults. My daughter is a lawyer in New York City, a graduate of CU Boulder and American University Law School. My son co-founded a startup and is also based in New York after graduating from Yale in 2020. Both are alums of University School of Nashville—a school that will always hold a special place in my heart.

Outside of real estate, I’m an avid tennis player, a passionate traveler, and fluent in English, Arabic, and French.

If you’re buying, selling, or just curious about the market, I’d love to connect.
