Russ Lyon Welcomes Shannon Stone

Shannon’s love for all things real estate began at a very early age. From as far back as she can remember, she has always loved homes. When she was in her 20s, she bought her first home. A year later, when she quickly sold it for twice what she paid for it, she knew she wanted to get into real estate! She got her real estate license in 1994 and has since bought and sold many homes personally and has helped many others do the same.

Shannon has a unique talent for selling homes for top dollar and in the shortest period of time. Her discerning eye and attention to detail will help your home look it’s very best to a potential buyer. She’s a seasoned negotiator with the ability to successfully navigate all the unexpected scenarios that arise when buying and selling a home. When working with buyers, Shannon takes full advantage of all resources to find the unique home they are looking for. She loves the challenge of finding a home that perfectly suits the buying family & will use her extensive network of industry connections to find off-market or coming-soon properties that a buyer would never be able to find on their own!

If you’re looking for a REALTOR® with integrity, who is incredibly responsive, an excellent listener, a hard worker, and someone you will enjoy working with and getting to know, then give her a call today and put her experience to work for you!

Shannon’s go-getter attitude was evident from the beginning! A sharp eye for detail and a warm conversationalist make Shannon and her partnering with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty a recipe for absolute success.
