-Client
“Shawndy deserves a 5 star plus plus plus!!! We found Shawndy in the middle of a very difficult and stressful time of loss and grief. She treated our family with the utmost compassion, care, and kindness. As soon as we signed on with her, she became realtor, project manager, and advisor. She patiently helped us navigate selling the home our parents had lived in for decades. Her strategy for preparing the property, timing the listing, and marketing led to a very successful sale. She consistently checked in with us about the progress and process and was available for any concerns or questions that came up along the way. I highly recommend Shawndy and her team at Compass!”
