Shawnna recently helped us sell our home and purchase a new one. Our home sold quickly thanks to her, and she helped us find the perfect home for our price range. I never expected to have such a personable, reliable, friendly, caring realtor but that’s what we got. She helped us every step of the way from selling to buying. Even though she closed on more than 30 houses in the last month we worked with her, she made us feel like a top priority and was always a phone call or a text away. We cannot thank her enough. Would very highly recommend!
Mrs. Shawna helped us sell our home, which was nice but in poor location, very quickly. She was more than helpful with all our questions, calls, and late night texts. We always felt well informed and were never left feeling out of the loop. After the sale of our home, Shawna helped us find a new home and even recommended a trustworthy lender to get the financing. Could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for a great experience, buying or selling.
Loved working with Shawnna. She gave us many options and had flexible hours with our busy schedule. She was so helpful in finding our forever home. A true professional.
Shawnna is a true professional an expert in her field. Shawnna provided comparable listings and resent homes that had sold to make my listing price disition easy, and did a great job with the marketing plans. Final outcome was the selling of my home in a reasonable timeframe. Iwould highly recommend her services for anyone buying or selling a house!
Shawnna is the best! She is very honest, kind and sincere. She makes sure you understand every aspect of the selling/buying of a home. We would definitely recommend going with Shawnna for your buying or selling of a home. We bought or first house 3 years ago with Shawnna and just this week, we closed on our new forever home with Shawnna. Wouldnt want to use anyone else. Not only did we get a great realtor in the process, we gained an amazing friend. Go with Shawnna!
We were in a very difficult situation. We had a beautiful off water home at Lake of Egypt. Several realtors had advised us to pull it off the market and wait until spring. Shawnna came in and gave us an extremely accurate appraisal of our homes value. She got absolutely top dollar. The amazing thing is, she accomplished this in under 2 weeks. She over delivered on everything she promised. She is excellent at marketing and dealing with buyers. We simply cannot say enough !!!!! It was our second lake home. She really knows the market.
Very knowledgeable about the market and was a real pleasure for me and my wife to work with when she sold our house at 12590 Whispering Pines Lane, Marion, IL.
Wonderful realtor and individual! She helped us each step of the way and couldn’t have been any sweeter. She was willing to meet us st times that were convenient for my husbands work schedule too.
When I found out I was being transferred for work, my wife and I met with several different realtors. Several told us that we paid too much for our house and would have to bring several thousand dollars to the table to sell, or told us we would sell our house for thousands more than it was worth. We had lived in the neighborhood for 10 years and had seen houses sell for a wide range of prices and where not sure what to expect. Shawnna came in from the beginning and was very upfront, she had already sold many houses in our neighborhood and compiled a list of comparable properties and told us what we could sell our home for, and in three short months sold it for almost the exact price she said.Shawnna is very devoted to her clients and went far beyond just selling our house. While I transferred to another state, my wife stayed behind for a month so that our kids could finish school. Shawnna not only found them temporary housing in the same neighborhood, she continued to check on them the entire month. I not only consider her the best agent in Marion, but a friend.
Shawnna is an excellent resource when selling your home. She guided me through the entire process professionally and with personal attention. In this market, nothing ever goes entirely as planned, but Shawnna saw it all to the end and also helped significantly in lining up a great new home for me and my kids at sales time.<br/><br/>I would recommend her without reservation.
