GUIDING YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAYBecause Your Next Move Deserves More Than Just Average
A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. It is where you start mornings, build memories, raise families, and put down roots that last. Whether you are buying for the first time, selling a home you have outgrown, or relocating to a new community entirely, this is one of the most significant decisions of your life. You deserve someone who treats it that way.
Let's be honest, no matter which side of the transaction you are on, there is a lot to navigate. Pricing strategy, market timing, showings, offers, inspections, negotiations and a mountain of paperwork. But that is exactly what I am here for.
I will walk you through every detail, handle the heavy lifting, and keep you fully informed at every turn. If you are buying, I will find you the right home at the right price. If you are selling, I will position your home to attract serious buyers and get you the return you deserve. And if you are relocating, I will help you learn the communities and land somewhere you will truly love.

MORE THAN AN AGENT.
Your South Sound Advocate.
Hi! I'm Shannon Shaffer, a REALTOR® with Real Broker LLC and a proud part of the Ruthy Taylor Team. I'm rooted in this community, I know this market, and I genuinely love helping people find where they belong within it.
Before real estate, I spent over a decade in the nonprofit sector and stepping away to raise my kids gave me a deeper understanding of what home truly means. That perspective shapes everything I do. Real estate became personal for me, and the lessons from my own experience navigating the process are exactly what I bring to every client.
As part of the Ruthy Taylor Team, with 15 years of combined experience and over 250 homes sold, I bring both the strength of a proven team and a relationship-first approach that makes sure you never feel like just another transaction.
