Shannon has been a friend for several years and I have watched her as she worked with her clients, successfully navigating their real estate transactions. So, it was a given that I call on her to help us as we began our real estate journey. They always say, "don't do business with friends" but this was an exception!
We began by having her guide us regarding the updates that were needed to prepare my fiancée's house for market. She listed his home and it sold in 3 days for the asking price which was a reflection of implementing the improvements that she suggested.
Next, she patiently walked with us for several months as we searched for our new home. When we found the perfect home for us, she advised and helped us navigate the purchase, putting us in touch with lenders, inspectors and real estate agents with experience in our new state. We couldn't have been happier with our choice!
Lastly, she listed my home, and it resulted in an offer for over asking price within days of it going on the market. She helped me through the negotiations, caught mistakes made by the other agent that would have cost me more money and ended with a very happy buyer and seller.
Through three different real estate transactions over several months, she was always knowledgeable, professional and positive. She calmed our nerves when we were overwhelmed and encouraged us to stay the course and trust her when it seemed to be too much. Her advice is spot on, and she earns every penny of her commission.
I'm so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional...not just someone doing real estate as a hobby. My advice is to listen to her and take her advice. She knows what she's doing.
