Tim O. | Home Seller

Shannon was at our side the entire time during the sale of our first home. We faced a few challenges and Shannon was always prepared with a solution and a list of contacts to help us. She was so very supportive and patient, but also knew when to push us through this emotional time as we prepped and listed our home of several decades. Her advice was always spot-on, and the house sold quickly and over asking price. She also helped us connect with our buying agent in another state and found us a perfect match! A seamless transition from old home to new home!!

Marcy | Home Buyer & Seller

We have had multiple home transactions (sell/buy) in the past and Shannon has easily been the best realtor that we have worked with to date. Shannon provided us a high level of communication throughout the entire process. She would drop everything (even during vacation) to research a property, contact the seller's agent, or write up an offer. She also provided us multiple solutions to any obstacles that we encountered during the process. She is an extremely hard worker and will go the extra mile to make sure that her clients are being taken care of, whatever that might be. You may already know from her YouTube channel, she is very savvy to the real estate market and can make recommendations given the current market dynamics. Shannon is very personable but can also get down to business. I would recommend her to any friends, family, or co-workers that are looking for an amazing realtor. I am beyond excited about our new home purchase and I'm confident that it couldn't have happened without her.

Greg S. | Home Seller

Shannon truly creates separation between herself and other Professionals. Her overall business acumen, communication and leadership in what is for everyone a huge financial event is so important. I felt calm and confident throughout our home sale and that was 100% driven by Shannon's engagement and execution on everything. We couldn't have been happier with her work.

Lorna F. | Home Buyer & Seller

Shannon is an amazing realtor and a great person to work with. She worked tirelessly to help me buy a great home and to sell my previous home for more than I had imagined was possible. The success is a result of her strong instincts, thorough research, tireless work, and ethic of excellence.

Melissa P. | Home Seller

Shannon is amazing!! Due to some big life changes we had to sell our home rather quickly during a season that’s not ideal for selling and she took on the challenge and handled everything perfectly! She worked so hard and so quickly that everything was done in just over a month. She is so easy to work with, so responsive and so kind to everyone involved! We love her and cannot say enough good things. We will be referring her to everyone we know who is selling or buying! Thank you, Shannon!!

Catherine A. | Home Seller

I've had to sell five houses in the past five years in different markets. Shannon Janssen was by far the most engaged and professional realtor I have dealt with. She guided a complex process for updating the condo and managed the showing and sale expertly. As I had to manage the sale from a distance, Shannon checked in on the property regularly and called or emailed me with updates throughout the process. Thank you so much for your help, Shannon!

Gary H. | Home Seller

Shannon, a personal friend of my daughter, discussed what she could do with respect to selling my condo in Lake Oswego. Her services included a Virtual showing of my condo, personal showings, and an open house. Before the open house could be held, the third day the condo was officially on the market, it received six offers before Shannon cut off the availability of the condo for sale. All of the offers were substantially more than the listing price which was also more than I paid for it approximately eleven months prior to listing the condo. Everything went so smoothly. All I had to do was e-sign documents and wait for closing to take place. It was a seamless transaction done in the professional manner. Shannon truly represented me in every capacity. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Carla W. | Home Seller

Shannon was fantastic! She was very professional. She used a professional photographer for the brochure. The photos were great and showed our home’s outstanding features. Shannon kept me informed throughout the entire process. The house sold very quickly because of Shannon’s ability. Thanks, Shannon.

Peter L. | Home Seller

I met Shannon Janssen back in August, 2023, while looking for a REALTOR. I was immediately impressed by her confidence, dynamism and knowledge, and I chose her to sell my home of 22 years even though her company, Coldwell Banker Bain, is not the cheapest. She worked tirelessly to set the home up to look its best. We agreed that we would bring in a company to renovate the house in a major way prior to the sale. This generated some problems, but Shannon was very proactive finding solutions and pushing the process along. I could not have done this without her. She managed to be both insistent and polite, as well as good-humored and understanding. The varied problems and unexpected findings we encountered (there were many of these) did not in any way faze her. I can report that the house sold at the asking price within a week of going on sale at a time when the market was cool. I would without reservation ask her to sell any house I wish to sell in the future, and I whole heartedly recommend her to those looking for a realtor.

Ng J. | Home Buyer

5 stars all the way. If you are looking for an agent to buy a home, look no further than Shannon. She is responsible, professional, resourceful, and she gets the job done. One of the things we loved about her was her ability to effectively communicate what we needed to our seller’s agent, and she gets everything in writing. She really does take time to listen to you, and gives insightful feedback without imposing them on you (really loved that). Her response time to calls and texts is efficient. Keep up the good work, Shannon, and God bless!

Kim H. | Home Buyer

Shannon is wonderful and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. She was very responsive, highly knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. As a first time home buyer, she was great at walking me through every step. She was recommended to me, and i can't wait to "pay it forward" and recommend her to family and friends.

Brian W. | Home Buyer

I see lots of 5-star reviews for Shannon here and this one will be the same. Our experience in the real estate world has been, the realtor or broker we worked with asks what we're looking for. They then ignore what we're looking for and send us a lot of what they want to sell (usually a higher price than our budget). We then ask about specific properties. They take us to 3 or 4 while sending still more properties they want to sell and finally they tell us to let them know if there are any properties we'd like to see, in the meantime they add us to their "blast email" distribution list so we get countless properties their company wants to sell leaving us to do all the work of finding properties we can send them that we'd like to see. Or in other words, other realtor/brokers had us do their job for them while they waited to sell us something we'd found. Shannon is not this at all. She continued looking for properties and setting up showings over and over and over. Sure, if we found something we wanted to see she would set up those showings too but she was always searching and sending over prospective properties that matched what we wanted to see and were within our budget. We were living 2.5 hours away from Portland on the coast so driving to the city to see properties was tough. Shannon did several virtual showings with us helping us to avoid the long drive. Finally, one day, we had come to Portland to view several properties Shannon had found. None of them fit and Shannon smiled and said she would keep looking. We left the city feeling discouraged and were about 30 minutes into our drive when we got a text from Shannon. She had found a property that was, for some reason, not showing on the real estate websites and it looked perfect. She put her after-work plans on hold and we turned around and came back to look at the property. It was perfect and we bought it and love it. Shannon worked and worked to find us our dream home and was such a pleasure to work with while she did it. There are no other home sale professionals who will work harder while being fun and delightful, to find you your new home. I cannot say enough good things about Shannon and the work she does.

Abdullah A. | Home Buyer

Shannon is an amazing professional! Being a first time how owner during this difficult pandemic time was a roller coaster experience for us and it definitely was not an easy one. But Shannon was very patient and educated us all through during the process to make it easier for us. We started the search remotely and then moved to Portland. Shannon was very good at figuring out our needs and never rushed or pushed us to make any hasty decision. She found out some good houses for us and helped us to go through the whole process smoothly. Shannon is very responsive, knowledgeable and compassionate which really made us feel good during this search. During the time working with her, she became like a local friend to us and she guided us with many local things related to Portland. We really appreciate her kind help to find us a good house and also teaching us many things during the whole process. Thank you very much Shannon. :)

Kelly R. | Home Buyer

Shannon was great, as a first-time home buyer she really had to educate us on the process along the way and I felt very comfortable. We found our place but she had to show us a lot and never made it difficult. Always a professional and I felt at ease throughout our time together. I would recommend her to family and friends 100%. She will definitely be our forever realtor.

Nahid S. | Home Buyer

Shannon was truly a blessing in this journey of buying a new home. I had tons of questions as a first-time home buyer. She was not only a very knowledgeable and experienced negotiator but also was a very friendly, honest, yet very professional. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor and by far, she was the best realtor I've worked with so far.

Mandy P. | Home Buyer

It is impossible to write this review without acknowledging the 20+ years of friendship that I have shared with Shannon. All that aside, I can honestly say she is by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. I was born and raised in Portland but have been living in California for the past 11 years. I reached out to Shannon hoping to find a place that I could buy in order to replant roots in my hometown and secure a nest egg for my son. Mission accomplished!! Shannon knows the Portland market so well and she takes every step to ensure she knows her clients even better. From the start, Shannon really listened to the type of property I was looking for. Honestly, I wasn't able to be physically present for the majority of the buying process, yet I could not have ended up with a better fit in a property. She went above and beyond and ensured that she delivered something even better than I could have imagined. Every step of the way she was there to hold my hand, calm my fears, answer my questions and cheer me on. Shannon is definitely at the top of her class in the real estate industry. I am so grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Portland. She is simply the BEST.

Jessica P. | Home Buyer

Shannon was on it from the first phone call when my husband and I were connected with her as buyers. We felt like she as always on the same page as us. She listened to our needs and was keen at gauging our comfort with various risks involved in buying a home. She was creative in dealing with our particular circumstance and has a lot of tools for leveraging what she could to put us in a very competitive position. She responds quickly via phone, text or email and is obviously committed to being the best at what she does. Highly recommended!

Galen E. | Home Buyer

As a news anchor on a busy schedule, I was apprehensive about the home-buying process; when was I ever going to have time to figure it out and make the right choice?! Shannon Janssen was the answer. After meeting her briefly in passing, my partner and I followed up with Shannon via text, asking if she could show us half a dozen listings in one day to fit our schedule. Within minutes, she had them all booked and was ready to go. That was indicative of our entire experience with Shannon: responsive, fast, knowledgeable, and competitive on our behalf. With her help, we got connected with what we knew was a good a deal, a good lender, and a good network of real estate professionals who continue to be helpful through this transition period. I'd recommend Shannon in a heartbeat.

Rick E. | Home Buyer

Shannon went above and beyond for us and we completely appreciate all of her hard work! We didn't know what we were doing since this was our first time buying a home, but Shannon made us feel comfortable and answered any questions that we had. She was always updating us with important details and on top of time sensitive things. She made this whole process as stress-free as possible. Thank you once again!

Ty O. | Home Buyer

Shannon puts the "S" in Superwoman! My first home and I knew Less than nothing, Shannon walked me through EVERYTHING. No question I had was a stupid question to her, and she was always fast with responses and knowledgeable. Anything that could go wrong practically did, and Shannon not only reassured me through it, She personally made it her mission to correct any errors along the way. She is absolutely awesome at her job! It’s impossible not to consider her a friend after all her support and effort! Thank you again Shannon!

Shannon was great to work with. Very responsive and knowledgeable. Through her ideas and contacts she also helped me save a lot of money.

Rosie S. | Home Buyer

I have bought and sold many homes. This is the first time I felt moved to write a review. Shannon made sure that I found the place that was best for me and unique interest. She never made us feel rushed. Extraordinarily responsive to questions.

Lucas | Home Buyer

If you are in the market for a home, I would highly recommend you reach out to Shannon. Our experience with Shannon was simply amazing. Throughout our process, Shannon literally handled everything from start to finish. She understood clearly what we were looking for in a home and got us the perfect house. Shannon put together our offer and got us a deal way below asking price and also made sure the house was in perfect condition before and after the purchase. It didn't matter what time of the day it was, once we called Shannon, she was always available to make sure all my questions were answered. I would reach out to Shannon in a heartbeat when next I am in the market.

Cathy M. | Home Buyer

Shannon is such a hard worker! She never gave up in a time where the market was difficult. She was always positive but the expectations were suited to the market. Would highly recommend!!
