"I was moving from Dallas to Chicago at the end of 2022 with less than 6 weeks to pull the trigger on a new place. I needed something close to work and fast. I was coming back and forth between Dallas and Chicago but didn’t have much time during the day to tour buildings. Sharon knew this and made great use of our time. She knew exactly what I was looking for and only showed me units that met my criteria. Ultimately, she found a great place a block from my work that fit all my requirements, but I couldn’t fly back before the end of the year to see it for myself. She walked me through on Facetime and gave me her honest feedback. I felt so comfortable and reassured by her approval that I moved forward with the place without ever stepping foot in the unit. The rest of the process was a breeze, and when I arrived in Chicago, it was exactly as I had hoped. What a relief to not have the worry and stress. Sharon truly made what would have been a difficult experience a complete walk in the park and I couldn’t be more grateful. " - Michael F.

"Sharon Lear was recommended to us by a friend who knew her from both Chicago and Southwest Florida and spoke very highly of her. We were not disappointed. Our initial interaction was late in the spring 2023 to locate a seasonal rental for 2024. She located a fantastic place for us and even visited it personally, and facetimed with us, as we were out of town. Falling in love with the area, we decided to buy in the spring of 2024. There was never any question that Sharon would be our agent as her knowledge of the Naples/Bonita Springs market was immediately obvious and impressive. She had an understanding of virtually every community and strove to find the perfect fit for us. We were shocked by the phenomenal number of homes/condos available and her command of real estate databases, software, and other tools was a godsend! She was able to pinpoint only qualified options (including those that were dog friendly!) making the visits extremely efficient. We had a lot of fun with her on our home tours and appreciated her professional style: direct but not pushy. Additionally, Sharon has a network of ancillary real estate professionals: mortgage bankers, insurance agents, home watch companies, etc., that she encouraged us to contact directly with questions. Very helpful! As we are “young” retirees, it is not out of the question that we will buy again in the not- too-distant future and will most certainly will call upon Sharon. Any of our friends and relatives looking to join us in paradise will also get our advice to contact her. " - Dan K. Carmel, IN

About Sharon

Residential Real Estate with the PK Johnson Group at Compass combines my favorite work values - entrepreneurship, human connection, teamwork, individual success, challenges, creativity, financial reward, and the opportunity to help others dream. Architecture, art, beauty and home design are passions of mine and now they are part of my work!

As a Compass real estate professional, I thrive in helping people visualize their lives in their new home, city or region. I cherish helping clients see possibilities in change. Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction; it's a opportunity to begin again, to say goodbye to the old and to embrace the new. I welcome the privilege of partnership with our clients, and to walk them through the entire selling, renting or purchasing process.

Prior to real estate, my Chicago career has included volunteerism, philanthropy and comprehensive capital campaign management at Northwestern Medicine and the Lycée Français in Chicago as well as board leadership for Thodos Dance Chicago, a modern dance company. It was exciting to help clients, donors and our institutions realize extraordinary achievements through non-profit investment and legacy giving. For those individuals and for me, the satisfaction came from building something from nothing, and furthering the mission of our institutions for society's benefit.

I started out in magazine publishing and advertising sales in my native Philadelphia, and then was transferred to Atlanta, New York City and Chicago, which taught me sales and relationship building, as well as the resilience to succeed wherever I am in the world.
