See what Sellers are Saying about working with Shannon

Shannon Norris sold our house during one of the most insane markets ever seen and not only kept her cool but was also incredibly organized. There were so many offers - each had their merits and Shannon, having gone through each one, presented them all in a clear format making our choosing of an offer very easy. We worked well with her; she was always quick to get back to us, looked out for our interests and relayed our wishes to other realtors. Writing this a year later, looking back, there are no regrets having had Shannon as our realtor and she would be the first person we would recommend. She knows her stuff, is very realistic, hired a fantastic photographer and is, in general, an extremely competent realtor -Philip

I hired Shannon Norris as my REALTOR® because she was a friend. This had to be the best decision I could have made. Right from day one she was great. My husband and I weren't in a huge rush to sell our home or buy a new one but we knew that with our growing family it would need to happen in the near future. Both of us never felt pressured by Shannon to buy right away. We looked at many houses and Shannon was great. She gave feedback on what she thought was good for our family in each place, and advised us about anything that we might want to have looked at before buying. Any time we wanted to see a house she could get us in to see them so quickly. Any time I called or emailed her she was right on top of things and got back to me in no time.  She made us feel like we were the only customers she was working with. While selling our home Shannon was right there guiding us through all of it. She was so knowledgeable on our rights and gave us advice on what to do. She made the hard time of selling a home so much easier. All in all, Shannon was an amazing person to work with. We are so happy with our new home. Shannon was very knowledgeable, always happy and with a positive outlook even in the worst of situations. I would not hesitate to hire her again and have already recommended her to family and friends. We wish her a lifelong career because she was made for this job. -Amanda

Absolutely wonderful. We enlisted her 5 years prior to buy the property that we have now sold, and would use her again if we want to move in the future. She took care of any and all problems, was absolutely super with communication and very friendly and knowledgeable.  -Sara

Selling Your Home - Why it Pays to Use a REALTOR®

Before selling your home, you will need a clear understanding of the legal issues and potential pitfalls. One wrong action could result in a lot of cost and frustration, which is why it is essential to have a REALTOR® working with you, as he or she will make the sale of your home a successful and satisfying experience.

REALTORS® use the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) to give your home maximum exposure. MLS® is a computer-based system that relays valuable information about your home to hundreds of REALTORS® and potential homebuyers.

Setting a price for your home is an important but difficult process. Again, this is where the services of a REALTOR® prove invaluable. REALTORS® have the experience to help you understand how the market works and decide upon a realistic price that meets your goals. REALTORS® also pre-screen potential buyers to make sure only those who are serious and financially qualified view your home.

REALTORS® will also develop a marketing plan to help your property receive maximum exposure. This will likely include placing your home on the MLS® system and placing a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn. The plan will likely also include arranging open houses for other REALTORS® and potential buyers, and developing advertisements and feature sheets/mailers to market your home.

Once you have accepted an offer to buy your home, your REALTOR® will help ensure that all the proper paperwork is completed. He or she will also make sure that both parties meet the necessary conditions outlined in the agreement.

When you work with a REALTOR® you will likely get a better price for your home than if you try to sell it yourself. Apart from the financial benefits, however, there is an extra measure of comfort and security that comes from having a REALTOR® on your side. Remember that REALTORS® are governed by a code of ethics and standards of business practice. They have also been trained and licensed under the provincial Real Estate Services Act to assist in transactions involving real property. When it comes to buying or selling property, using a REALTOR® just makes sense.
