“Although an intimidating process, Shaunna eased our minds with her professionalism and expertise that this home would be a worthy investment for our family.”
Nancy K.

“We moved from a house of 25 years. Shaunna was always calm and guided us on each step. The staging was amazing. We had an offer in three days! She answered our questions day and night. We felt secure with her on our side.”
Eileen S.

“Shaunna is the one to go with if you want to sell—she updated our home we had lived in for 48 years so it would appeal to the modern buyer. She has your back.”

WHERE ARE YOUR DREAMS TAKING YOU? WE HELP YOU GET THERE.
Staging and Selling
Whether your goal is to capture a high-value quick sale, or coordinate with a new home purchase, we have the staging skills and experience to “sell the lifestyle” so potential buyers can imagine themselves living their best lives in your home.
Searching & Investing
Whether a first-time buyer or seasoned investor, we’ll listen and collaborate with you to define your goals and overall search strategy. You’ll benefit from our experience, market knowledge, negotiation skills, and community network.
Renovations & Design
Finding homes that have the potential for modernization takes a critical eye. We assess the financial implications and design possibilities, and are uniquely able to provide both honest advice and a network of vetted pros you can trust.
Relocation & Retirement
Relocating can have the added stress of changing jobs or settling the family into a new routine, while retiring often involves downsizing to smaller spaces. Our insights, experience, and trusted partners can help make the whole process easier.
Senior Living & Estates
Choosing to move to a senior community or helping sell the estate of a loved one can be fraught with complexity, emotion, and stressful decision-making. We can guide you through it all and provide customized options and expert recommendations.
