"Shannon is a fantastic professional. She is knowledgeable about both the Eastside and Seattle. We made the difficult transition from the Eastside suburbs back into the city and Shannon helped make the sale, short term rental and new purchase a seamless and ENJOYABLE experience. She navigates tricky situations with calm proficiency and she always offers sage and relevant advice. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and is one of the TOP professionals with whom we have ever worked."

"After searching for a home in the hot (and frustrating) Seattle market for over a year to no avail, we decided to make a change and work with Shannon. Her knowledge of the marketplace was second to none! She kept us up to date on all inventory that met our criteria in an organized and prompt fashion. We were easily able to coordinate times to view homes with her. She was able to guide us through each week, crafting strong and confident offers only on homes that truly met our criteria. After looking for over a year we started to get impatient and without her guidance may have ended up in something that wasn't right for us. It didn't take long before we landed a home we love! If it wasn't for the strong offer written and Shannon's communication with the listing agent, we would have lost it to the higher offers bid. So glad she was on our team!"

"Shannon found me a terrific duplex in 2005, then sold it for me this year (2012). I can't say enough good things about her expertise as a realtor. She is very efficient, organized, and thoroughly knowledgeable and professional. It has been a pleasure having Shannon represent me both as a buyer and a seller, and I give her my highest recommendation."

"Look no further! We used Shannon to sell our house and purchase another. It was obvious from the beginning that she has extensive knowledge of the market. She was professional, yet so personable, and she kept us in the loop through the entire process. Feeling like we were in good hands settled any anxiety of what could’ve been a stressful time. She expertly set our asking price and creatively marketed our house to get the right buyer for the maximum price. She then helped me look for my next home, looking past my emotions of what I thought I wanted to point out what could be potential issues down the road. She said the right one would come around, & she was right; I’m so glad I listened & was patient! She ended up skillfully negotiating my purchase where we were up against multiple offers. She was the only agent to insist on a sewer scope which helped our negotiations. She ended up getting me another $20k off when they said they could go no lower. I am now in my dream home and couldn’t be happier! We put our trust in her and were rewarded. Meet her once and you’ll feel the same."
I’ve always had a passion for architecture and interior design and in 2007, that’s what drove me to start my own staging company, Seattle Swank. When working with sellers, I can help make targeted changes that clearly accentuate a home’s distinctive features, raising the visibility of a home for sale. My comprehensive listing preparation utilizes professionally-produced photography together with complimentary staging services, enabling the home to look widely appealing both online and in person. Seattle Swank is known for clean lines and crisp styling in its staging, making each listing shine with the appropriate colors, appointments, and décor, causing it to stand out from the competition -- and maximize the selling price.
When working with buyers, I’m known to carefully listen and take the time and attention to evaluate and prioritize their goals so that they may find a home in a distinguished setting that meets their lifestyle needs. My deep appreciation of design aesthetics enables me to help my clients visualize potential changes to a home. I’m also able to suggest cost-effective enhancements to living spaces to showcase a particular personal style.
For my clients’ real estate experience, it’s my goal to address all aspects of the transaction with professionalism, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through — all of which allow me to give my clients sophisticated, first-class service. I’m truly dedicated to providing an unprecedented depth of real estate expertise in bringing my clients’ real estate dreams to life!
