My husband and I worked with Shawndy to find and purchase a second home in Aptos; we recommend her enthusiastically and without hesitation. Shawndy is smart, patient, knowledgeable, and served as a true and trusted partner to us – which wasn’t always easy! Shawndy was always patient, thoughtful, and helpful, offering her opinions when asked, and even going down to the county to pull records for us, but always allowing us to take the lead and never even nudging us beyond our comfort level – even though it would obviously have been in her interest to get the sale, and even more so since here agency was representing the owners.After we found the property we would eventually purchase, Shawndy again exhibited exceptional patience and “customer service.” She met us at the home several times, often on short notice. The transaction became complicated, as we all learned during the course of the negotiation that the owner owed a significant amount on the house and what started as a traditional property sale turned into a short sale negotiation. And then the COVID pandemic broke out, even further complicating things. Fortunately for us, Shawndy had experience from the past with short sales, and she thoughtfully, and patiently, guided us through the process. I will close by saying that we are thrilled with our home purchase, and can’t imagine having had any other agent who would have been so wonderful and easy to work with through it all. She was our advocate throughout, and someone we were able to count on throughout the process. We never doubted that we were in the best possible hands with Shawndy, and her knowledge, competence, and positive attitude alleviated a lot of the stress of a long and complicated transaction. If you’re looking for an agent, I can recommend Shawndy unconditionally. You can trust her and, equally important, I guarantee you will like her. Shawndy is a gem and you will consider yourself lucky if you are fortunate enough to work with you.
