Shannon Owen
Residential Real Estate Broker | Compass
Austin, Texas
Shannon Owen is a proud Austinite — deeply rooted in the communities she serves and passionate about helping clients navigate every stage of their real estate journey. With $110,000,000 in lifetime closed sales and $20M+ in 2025 production, Shannon is a top-producing residential real estate broker with Compass serving buyers, sellers, and investors across West, South, and Southwest Austin.
Raised in West Austin, Shannon has lived in Rollingwood, Woods of Westlake, Lost Creek, Rob Roy, Central Austin (“the ‘04”), Circle C, and currently resides in Southwest Austin. Her hyperlocal knowledge spans generations of neighborhood growth, giving her clients both historical perspective and forward-looking insight.
Her real estate career began in 2000 while attending the University of Texas, where she studied Spanish (she is bilingual) and Business while working in leasing and residential sales. In 2003, she moved to Spain to lead a study abroad program before transitioning to banking in New York City. Like many Austinites, she eventually found her way home — bringing with her global perspective and business discipline.
In 2010, Shannon earned her MBA from the Acton School of Entrepreneurship, one of only five women in her class of 32. It was there she refined her passion for service, leadership, and building systems that support long-term client success. Today, she combines entrepreneurial strategy with deep Austin roots to deliver exceptional outcomes at every price point.
Market Expertise & Positioning
Shannon serves a wide range of clients — from growing families and move-up buyers to executives, investors, and high-net-worth individuals seeking premier properties.
She is a member of Compass Austin Luxury Advisors (CALA), an exclusive group of 21 agents collaborating on high-end and off-market opportunities, many priced above $1.5M. While Shannon has extensive luxury experience — including a $5.5M sale — her practice is built on relationships, not price brackets. Whether representing a first-time move-up buyer, a Circle C homeowner, or a luxury estate seller, her approach remains consistent: strategic, relational, and results-driven.
Primary communities served include:
Westlake, Rollingwood, Barton Creek, Rob Roy, Lost Creek, Circle C, Granada Hills, Dripping Springs, and surrounding West and Southwest Austin neighborhoods.

Shannon’s business is built on preparation, negotiation skill, and consistent communication. She believes that setting expectations and over-communicating with clients is key — and that understanding the art of the deal is more relational than transactional.
Personal
Shannon is married to Steven Owen, another Austinite (and Commercial Real Estate Broker at Compass) that she met at age 14. They lead the family with their strong Faith and have four children: Westyn, Liam, Brazos, and Aspen), and are looking forward to their first family mission trip in the summer of 2026. They attend Austin Ridge Bible Church where they've been members for 8 years. In 2019, she and Steven purchased their current home, giving Shannon renewed perspective on the emotional and strategic elements of the process.
She shares:
“Setting expectations and over-communication with clients is key. As is understanding the art of the deal; more relational, less transactional will win every time.”
Whether buying, selling, or investing, Shannon has redefined what “taking care of a client” looks and feels like — and she will exhaust her ATX roots to help her clients achieve their goals.
Shannon Owen more than exceeded our expectations as a Realtor! As a native Austinite, Shannon really knows this city. She listened carefully to my list of wants, showed me several properties to narrow that list down to realistic limits, and then showed me the perfect house for my husband and I as we downsized from a three-story to a one-story home. Shannon then put me in touch with a company that specializes in downsizing seniors and a company to help stage my former home for selling. It was a turnkey operation from start to finish. She even helped us find the lender on our new home and shepherded us through that process. I couldn't have asked for more! I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a new home or looking to sell their old one.

This is the second transaction Shannon has handled for us. Both Terry and I could not be happier with the service and effort she provided. She always provides a timely response at all hours and knows how to deal with a difficult buyer and seller properly. Again, Shannon did an excellent job.
- Tom Watkins
★★★★★
Shannon and her husband Steven worked as a team on my transaction, with most of my dealings with Steven. Steven did an excellent job for me in effecting a very good, smooth transaction at a good price. I had previously considered engaging Marcus & Millichap who had performed a market analysis reflecting a much lower price range than our asking price or our sales price with Steven. Steven was very good at supporting the higher value with better comps, analysis in his Offering Memo. So, I give Steven a rating of 10 on a 1 to 10 scale!

★★★★★
Shannon Owen was a delight to work with through two real estate transactions: selling one home and buying another home. She provided thoughtful insight and detailed directions for us being both sellers and buyers. Shannon was willing to listen to our thoughts, suggestions, and concerns to create a custom approach to selling and buying that worked for us. And on top of all of that, she provided guidance for us on a separate real estate transaction in which she was not involved, as it was in another city. She was truly invested in making sure we got the best result from ALL THREE real estate transactions. We would highly recommend Shannon Owen and the Realty Austin!

I had the good fortune of having both Tracy Picone and Shannon Owen represent me on the sale of the home. It was so helpful to have both Tracy (with whom we've worked before) and Shannon, who lives in the neighborhood and could pop in at the house whenever needed. Both did an outstanding job from start to finish. From the initial contracts, the pricing to preparing the house to go on the market, the advising on service professionals for cleaning and repairs, managing the offers and all the way to the final closing they did a great job. They are professional, diplomatic, savvy about the market, on top of every detail, very responsive, and fun to work with. I also had great support from the Realty Austin staff. The process went quickly, smoothly, and we got a fair price and a satisfied buyer.

I've known Shannon for over twenty-five years and am thrilled to be working with her! Her energy and dedication are always present while her positive attitude is a joy to be around! Her professionalism has shown me how good she is at her job and I'm lucky to call her my agent. We moved from Katy, Texas and I trusted Shannon to find us the right home from afar - I didn't even see the home until we moved in and she sure did what she said - found us 'The One'!”

★★★★★
Shannon helped my husband and I look for a home in the Austin area. We are now under contract on a home we're going to build from the ground up - new construction! Shannon went 'above and beyond' to find exactly what we were looking for! The first thing you'll notice is that she works so hard for her clients - I feel truly blessed to have such a great realtor.

★★★★★
Working with Shannon was an absolute pleasure on both the buy and sell side. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She was very responsive and acted as if she was looking for herself or her family.
- Afton Sands
★★★★★
Two words always struck me when I was working with Shannon, intelligent and genuine. As a parent herself, she knew exactly what my three kids and I needed at home and thought of things I would’ve never considered. I absolutely got the best house for my dollar!

★★★★★
Shannon has gone above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect home. She knows the area very well and helped us pick out the best neighborhood for our family. We were so lucky to find her! We are both very happy with the communication and responsiveness with as well as Realty Austin. Highly recommended!

★★★★★
This, I think, is my 4th or 5th deal with Shannon. Why would anyone use anyone else? She's smart, pays attention to details, knows her markets, knows how to get a good deal done when others can't, and makes the whole process fun. 95% of other Realtors would not have been able to get this deal done the way Shannon did. Shannon spent endless hours with the seller \holding his hand\" to drag him to the table. It was a GREAT DEAL and a GREAT JOB! "

★★★★★
I had the pleasure of working with Shannon Owen as my agent. She was wonderful and stayed on top of things. There are quite a few things to track as you sell or buy a home, and it can be daunting, but with Shannon's help, it was a much less stressful process. We used her to both sell our home and buy a new home at the same time. Top notch experience. I would definitely recommend Shannon to anyone buying or selling their home.

★★★★★
Shannon is an amazing realtor. She always responds promptly to questions and is always willing to answer any questions I had even if I email her several times a day. Shannon is always ready and eager to help. The properties she found for us to go look at all fit my criteria and she gave me quite a few options to choose from. Shannon is awesome and I would recommend her to any of my friends who are looking to find their perfect home.
