Shane is the most friendly, professional and helpful real estate agent we have ever had. He demonstrated great patience helping us sift through a multitude of homes in a frenetic market...often going above and beyond the call of duty in sticking with us and offering sound advice! Until we found the right home. Believe me...we put him through the wringer! We cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who is looking for a place that not only meets their needs, but that they will enjoy for years to come.

"We met Shane looking at the house he was selling. We ended up not buying that house, but being really impressed with Shanes expertise, we asked him to help us find a home for us. It was a very first house we were buying so that the entire process seemed really intimidating and confusing. Shane found a great home for us making the process clear, easy and fun. Believe me, if you need a realtor, go with Shane. If you need to cell your house, Shane will get the top dollars for you, and the buyer will be happy to pay it. If you need to buy a house, Shane will find you exactly what you need. His

We met Shane at an open house when searching for our last home over four years ago. Randomly we would run into him here and there. From the moment we met him, we immediately loved him and saw an amazing, hard working, and sincere real estate agent. At that time we were already in contract with another agent and vowed we would look him up for our… next home sale/buy needs. When it came time to move to our next home, our first dream home, which we found at a random open house (when we were not even looking to move), we jumped into the car afterward and both said, “Text Shane!”

Shane was absolutely great with helping me find my new house in WA. I had to do everything from overseas and he was extremely helpful and responsive with everything I needed, making the process very easy. I even got my house for less than the appraised value which was, and probably still is, extremely rare with the housing market the way it is! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a house near JBLM

We would highly recommend Shane and his team as they were fantastic and very knowledgeable to work with. We were first time homebuyers and were trying to buy a home during COVID while in a seller's market. Shane was always responsive and professional when showing us potential houses. He also taught us how look at the details of a home for potential pitfalls and when it came to placing an offer he provided suggestions on how to make a competitive offer. His team is very knowledgeable on how to compile aggressive offers in a competitive market. Given his knowledge and guidance we were able to purchase
