Hi, I’m Shannon.

I live in Lakeside with my two kids (now 11 and 13-whoa!) Most days are mix of real estate, kids, dogs and trying to remember what I walked into a room for.

A normal Tuesday might look like school drop-off, a hike up Blacktail with the dogs, an office meeting, and then working with my horse trainer on my rescue horse. Somewhere in there I'm thinking about clients, my kids, what's for dinner, and whatever problem I'm quietly trying to solve in the background (which is probably why I'm usually five minutes late to everything and have an unclear number of coffee thermoses living in my car. I'm fairly certain they multiply.)

I'm not a perfect housekeeper. I'm not a great cook. I have a lot of houseplants with very good intentions that are hanging in there.

But I care deeply about people building lives that actually feel good to live in.

It came from growing up moving around a lot, and always coming back to one place that felt like home which was my grandparents' ranch in Lander, Wyoming. It had red rocks, beautiful views and always smelled like sage brush.

It was the one place where everything in my body could finally settle. Where I could breathe.

I think that shaped how I see real estate: home isn't just where you live. It's where your nervous system either settles or doesn't. And that affects everything.

That's why I approach this differently. I don't rush you into decisions. I don't treat this like a transaction.

Because every decision in this process is emotional, whether we acknowledge it or not. You might think you're deciding based on numbers. But underneath that you're asking: will this feel like relief? Will this create more stress? Will this actually support the life we're trying to build?

If we get clarity there first, everything else gets a lot simpler.

When you feel overwhelmed, I don't try to fix it quickly. I stay present. We slow it down, map things out, and create a plan that actually fits you. And then we move forward from there.

I love working with families — especially women who are intentionally building a full life for their family.

As a mom, I know how much a home shapes everyday life. Mornings, evenings, energy, your sense of peace.

A house shouldn't be another thing you have to manage or recover from.

The home you live in shapes the life you live. It's that simple and that important.
